Going Home

Well, I have about an hour before I leave for the airport. All I can say, is that Mark Knopfler was a great end to a great time in Prague. The concert was awesome, never have I seen so any instruments played in a single show (everyone in the show besides Mark and the drummer played at least three instruments at one point). Ukeleles, accordians, things that looked like Mandolins but were really a lot longer, probably a dozen different guitars, a few flutes, two different pianos and Mark playing at least five different guitars made for a great show. Thankfully, he mixed up the show, split about 60/40 with his new individual work, and songs from Dire Straits. Not suprisingly, Sultans of Swing and Romeo and Juliet were played, a bit more suprisingly (and to my great thanks) Telegraph Road was played, which is probably my favorite song ever. Anyways, after 30 years of playing, growing old and chubby and bald, the guy can pick a guitar, and still has a great voice. He's also got me wanting a candy apple red Fender Stratocaster.

Anyways, the last song he played was Going Home, and it fit perfectly to put a cap on my stay. It is a great way to end the concert, and for me, a great way to wrap up my stay in Prague. Although I just heard it live a few hours ago, I'll probably listen to it again as I'm coming home.
