    Some of the best 10 minutes on UA-cam. A fantastic band with Terry Williams just KILLING it on drums - he pushed them hard, and you can see Knopfler looking back and laughing like hes saying "We'd better pick it up boys!" and man do they ever. Knopfler is SUCH a phenomenonal guitarist - slinky fast, fluid, and emotional. Never hits a bad note.

      Sadly an urban myth , Terry Williams was a seasoned hired gun for tours , had done many before this one and his parents always went to at least one of the gigs , he was at this one but it was far from the first time he had seen him play , takes nothing away from his performance though which was so good , you can see the amount of times mark and John looked back smiling

They have had so many hits including "Walk Of Life", "Brothers In Arms", "Money For Nothing", "Telegraph Road", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "So Far Away" etc. They don't have a bad song.

      @SausageFingers73 4 місяці тому

      It's subjective but I feel the 1985 tour, concerts and band were the pinnacle, as shown in the Wembley and Sydney concert videos on here, but i'm probably biased as I saw them in Birmingham a couple of weeks after the wembley shows. It has to be said though that this was when bands wern't afraid of work, and before a "residency" was a thing. Some really big name bands, most recently Bon Jovi and Greenday say they are doing a UK tour and play 2 stadium dates for the whole country, playing to maybe 60000 at each. On the Brothers in Arms tour Dire Straits played something like 13 nights at wembley, 9 at NEC Birmingham as well as quite a few other arenas in the country, and did this in most of the countries they played, when they got to the end of the run they went back to the beginning and started again, the tour lasted 2 years if memory serves.

    Can't go wrong with any performance from the Alchemy album - they're all cast iron bangers. Telegraph Road, Tunnel of Love, and Going Home, which they used to close the concert out are all highlights. Like many of Knopfler's songs it tells a story, about going into a London pub one evening and finding a band playing. The drummer's name is Terry Williams, he absolutely knocked the whole concert out of the park. He was with them for the 85 tour too.

    My dire straight story.
    It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 p.m. . A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won two tickets via a radio DJ to tonight's "Brothers In Arms" tour show (1986) at the Boston garden and he can't find anyone to go with him because of midterms. The concert starts in about an hour and a half and these two guys both say no, he looks at me and says would you want to go? I responded in a heartbeat yes even though I had two midterms the next day. We picked up the tickets at the door. I couldn't believe it They were 6th row center on the floor. I've never been so close to a major rock and roll band for such a long time, it was absolutely unforgettable. His fingers fly, no pick... Folks didn't want to leave they came back out for a second encore song. It was really a very well done show. I didn't do all that well on those two midterms but it was worth it.

    Their " Brothers In Arms" is so good but his voice is hard to hearin it but his guitar says it all. The group Home Free does a cover of it and the words are so clear but haunting. Both are very good. As a 20 year USAF veteran that song meant a lotto a lot of veterans. Please play it if not for me but for all that has served, no matter which side they were on.

    Dire Straits debuted from the UK in 1978 and 'Sultans of Swing' was their first hit single from their self-titled album... They were a seamless fusion of all the classic rock styles, including rock n' roll, blues, jazz, prog... and even country music.
    Mark Knopfler (vocals/ lead guitar/ songwriting) was they key member and a brilliant guitarist who could play in any style of music... the original Dire Straits included his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass) and Pick Withers (drums)... however, David Knopfler left the band by 1980 after 2 albums. Dire Straits recorded 2 more albums before drummer Pick Withers left in 1982... This clip was filmed on their 1983 tour for their 4th album 'Love over gold'... At that point, Mark Knopfler and John Illsley had hired all new session members for the tour - Hal Lindes (guitar), Terry Williams (drums) and Alan Clark (keyboards) and released this 1st live album 'Alchemy' in 1984.
    'Brothers in arms' in 1985 broke Dire Straits into superstardom w/ the single 'Money for nothing'... and the album sold 9 million copies in the US... However, fame and fortune were too much for Mark Knopfler and after 1 more studio album ('On every street' in 1991) and a live album 'On the night'... he disbanded Dire Straits and carried on from 1996 until today as a solo artist.

    You'd have loved seeing them live in person... Live their music always differed from the actual albums with more content but tell ya' what... They get the place JUMPIN! The band had such range of music concerts were funny in that you could tell the standard "rockers" as they'd be in their seats rockin' out... Yet those without as much inhibition who loved the pop/rock stylings be up and dancin' it up. SO MUCH FUN! I'd be havin' ya dancin' it up Kathy!

    Wonderful reaction. ( so happy )Well said Donna, ''happiness is the meaning of life the whole aim and end of human existence' said the wise man. When you work with commercial bands it is important to have some expansion playing live. You have far more freedom to explore, the ultimate being blues and jazz. So here Mark and the Band can have some sophisticated fun while maintaining that pop appeal. When people love what they do it becomes infectious and results in the duty free gift for the listener.😎

    Funfact, dear Ladies, Yes you too Lady Lulu, The drummer´s dad was in the audience for the first time. The drummer got enthusiastic and a tick too fast, (Matk Knopfler and the bass guitarist joked about it). I think the drummer´s dad was realy impressed.
    You dear and lovely ladies have a safe and pleasant year.

    I love Dire Straits, I love this song but this song like most of the music I grew up listening to from the 70's all the way up to now I have always been a Radio listener and Album listener, I love the original music that I heard first, Live performances are always great cause the Artists get to play it and sing the way they wanted to but when it came to making recordings they spent hours and hours to make it perfect before they let the fans hear it on the radio let alone hear it on an Album. So for me I love the Original versions to which I first heard it, to me the first recordings were like reading the book and then the live performances were like the book being turned into a movie but that's just me, there are some live performances that I really like but the original recordings that I first heard are always gonna be my favorites cause they did not make any mistakes, it was perfection and the original official music videos are gonna be the original recording versions and the music videos for these are usually gonna be Amazing, you should watch some of these music videos.
