Ok, this is the last review for a while. All I can say is if you like Dire Straits this old DVD is a good one. They play long concert versions of most of their better stuff.
It looks like it's recorded in Europe somewhere. Sound quality is surprisingly good. Knopfler makes it look soooo easy to play well. It's refreshing to hear a group that can play pretty heavy duty R & R and still have it sound melodic and not strident.
I was just going to watch a couple of songs but sat back in the recliner and cranked it up. My wife said she could here it clear over at the barn. Which is only 350 yds away. It finally dawned on me why concert DVD's sound so good on my little HT setup. It's beacause the Altecs are similar to what you'll hear the music through at an actual concert. There is a lot of synergy going on there. I wish someone else could listen and see if I'm just wishful thinking or it actually sounds pretty good.
This is another video where they play the music without a lot of uneccesary antics. If you ever watch it you'll notice it's pouring rain through most of the concert but the audience is so into it they don't even notice.
