I’m so enjoying re-watching Dire Straits Alchemy Live, recorded from Sky Arts a few weeks ago. I can still remember getting hold of an audio tape (bootleg-of-a-bootleg-of…) one lunch hour in ‘86 or ‘87, bought the CD when I had my first CD player, and I reckon I know every note. So it’s awesome to see them in on-stage, even if the lighting is terrible. Found the BlueRay on Amazon.
