I guess I would put it this way. I never tire of Mark Knopfler.

A small venue Mark Knopfler solo show should be on your bucket list.

I bought the Box Set of their Live 1978-1992 just recently.
I believe it is new release (not the music but the complication as a box set).
It is great.
I also enjoy box sets (both LP and CD) because you get some good stuff with it.
Sounds amazing. Cool

I have their first three albums, I love the sound of that period of Knopfler's career. I used to have Brother in Arms, but my roommate "borrowed" it and I never got another copy.

I remember when they first came on the scene, kids in my high school were thinking they were punk rock/new wave, same with early Cheap Trick and Tom Petty at the time. Here is the Knopfler brothers in happier times; like Ray and Dave Davies of The Kinks, the Knopfler brothers had a falling out in the early years, don't know if they patched things up.

It may be too late. I think he’s retired from touring.

When I saw him in 2019, he spent some time chatting with the audience, saying stuff that strongly hinted he was going to hang it up. In fact, I went home that night and bought tickets to see him again in Phoenix at the end of the tour because I suspected it might be my last chance to see him.

From the Sailing to Philadelphia album. His guitar playing isn’t as flashy in this one, but it’s such a great melody.
