"About one week into Bob Dylan&amp;apos;s ongoing European tour, opening act Mark Knopfler quietly joined the group onstage for &amp;quot;Behind Here Lies Nothin&amp;apos;.&amp;quot; Back in the 1980s and 1990s opening acts and surprise guests frequently sat in with Dylan, but in recent years it&amp;apos;s become an extreme rarity. Knopfler remained backstage at the next few shows, but over the past week he&amp;apos;s been sitting in for longer and longer periods of time.\r\nThe former Dire Straits frontman played on the first four songs on October 23rd in Oberhausen, Germany &amp;#x2013;including &amp;quot;Blind Willie McTell.&amp;quot; That&amp;apos;s the song that Dylan crazily cut from his 1983 LP Infidels, which was produced by Knopfler.\r\n(Mark was probably thinking something like, &amp;quot;Oh, now you like this song? &amp;apos;Foot of Pride&amp;apos; and &amp;apos;Someone&amp;apos;s Got A Hold On My Heart&amp;apos; were also great, but you cut them off the album in favor of &amp;apos;Union Sundown,&amp;apos; &amp;apos;Neighborhood Bully&amp;apos; and other sub-par works. I notice neither of those songs are in the setlist tonight. Infidels could have been a masterpiece, but you botched it you stubborn, stubborn little man.&amp;quot;)\r\nKnopfler sat in on five songs yesterday in Mannheim, Germany. Maybe by the time the tour wraps on November 21st in London he&amp;apos;ll be there all night. They should really mix things up and tackle &amp;quot;Sultans of Swing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Romeo and Juliet,&amp;quot; but that probably won&amp;apos;t happen. At the very least, they should do some songs from Slow Train Coming. Knopfler played lead guitar on that album, but they never got a chance to do the material live.\r\nIn the meantime,&amp;#xA0;here&amp;apos;s a video of Dylan and Knopfler performing &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s All Over Now, Baby Blue&amp;quot; in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg on October 21st."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
