Enlight (adjusted version) note:

The original recording suffers from a very loud presence in the higher frequencies part of the bandwidth,
and a lack of bass.
So with some fixing on overclipping ,frequencies and Volume i tried to give it a more smooth sound.
With in mind that recordings from back then Mark's guitar reached higher frequencies often, and not to spill that.



I gave this version a different name "Twisting In Japan 1983" to avoid mix up with the excisting version.
as always thanks to the original taper. Nothing has been edit out or add to the original recording.


Really great show, a lot of talking by Mark.
All stunning versions.
One of the few shows from Dire Straits in Japan
Complete show.
