They can do a mega tour and capture the nostalgia genre like the B Boys or Stones..but it aint the same seein Jagger with his walker on stage as it was seein him back in the day prancin around like he was Jack Flash...

Well said, and normally I'd agree. But in this particular case, Knopfler has moved on, and he knows it. The guitar work is much more refined in the second. It is a different version, some will like the first more, some the second- it is a matter of opinion. I myself have flip-flopped between the two- which is why I decided you guys might like to ponder the same conundrum- raw talent Vs refined elegance- or something to that effect.
