Mark Knopfler – ‘Down The Road Wherever’ Tour
Sony Centre, Toronto, Canada

Legendary guitarist and former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler rolled into Toronto on his Down the Road Whenever Tour. Billed as a farewell to the road, the Tour was met by a very welcoming and appreciative crowd. Knopfler performed a variety of solo material as well as a good number of Dire Straits songs (6, as a matter of fact).

The musicianship was off-the-charts. Knopfler performed two encores and received a long, standing ovation at the end of the night. As the show ended, an adoring fan tried to rush the stage only to be thwarted in her attempt. It was a very enjoyable evening of music. Hopefully, Knopfler will continue to make music for quite a while longer!

About the Photographer

Orest Dorosh
Orest Dorosh
I shoot live music performances, concerts, and portraits. I love the excitement of entering a venue, knowing that I’ll be photographing a concert and enjoying the energy of the crowd. There’s nothing like being in a venue and looking at the expressions on the faces of people who are all transfixed by the talent on stage. I shoot about 120 shows each year, averaging 2 bands per show, as well as several all-day and weekend festivals in and around Southern Ontario. From the large venues to very small ones, bright lights or barely lit stages, I hope that my photos capture the enjoyment the artists have in doing what they love to do.
