I recorded this myself with a small hand held deck I bought at Radio Shack using the built-in mics. Beware : This is not as clean as the digital recordings you can get now a days. The sound is a little muddy. There is some crowd noise , some chatty exchanges , but it is a nice listen. I will up a couple mp3 samples. You decide if you want to download it.
I have only traded this one time. This is a transfer from my master tapes. I am not an expert at the mastering process , so just recorded it flat, without any boosting or tampering of any kind other then some hiss removal.

There are a couple rough spots : I read a review of the tour in Rolling Stone at the time which said " includes a 9 minute Sultans Of Swing " So I was concerned with the tape flip. The first flip is just at the start of Sultans , which is slightly clipped. The second flip is near the end of Wild West End , I edited these two sides together using CoolEdit2000. It's hard to say how much is clipped , but I don't think it is more then a few seconds.

Additional comments (OEB):
Dire Straits played three successive nights at The Greek Theatre.
This is an audience recording of the first night.
Pretty good sounding recording, taken from master tapes.
Some tape hiss and not a very sharp sound, but overall a very nice recording from 1985.

Enlight note:

another requested show.

My thanks to the original taper/uploader, walking1965 for bringing this to dime for the first time back in 2007.Josestraits,Direfran, and the boys and girls from Spanish city and KnopfkerTk.


Nice sound quality, the cons are written down in the original info-file as it is , although it also says: "Very Good Quality" ,which is a bit too much for me.

still a powerfull show with nice versions.
cover-art/MD5 included in the torrent-file.


Enjoy,relax and stay healthy
