Additional comments:
Audience recording from Yugoslavia 1985. The first concert on the Brothers in Arms world tour. Includes the very cool and rare version of the song Six Blade Knife that they only played on this concert! Why they didn't continue playing this song on the tour is very strange. Mark Knopfler shows here that he is a very good in rearranging a song making a good song even better. Unfortunately the song is cut halfway through! Rare version of Portobello Belle. Also missing the last song, Going Home. Sound quality is not so good but Six Blade Knife makes it worth having.

Additional comments:
Audience recording of this second concert of the On Every Street world tour 1991-1992. The sound is not too bad. The concert itself is very interesting because of the rarely performed songs like Fade to Black, Portobelle Belle, I Think I Love You Too Much, Setting Me Up, Wild Theme (rare as a 1991 version!) and Long Highway which was completely new for everybody at that time and has an ending that is very different from the one of the Golden Heart tour!

Very good audience recording from Hamburg 1992! A recording which reflects the solid and good performance of that evening very well. Includes one of the best sounding versions of the rarely performed song When It Comes To You. Nice version of Tunnel of Love and more. Very good remastered sound. Solid Rock and Wild Theme are taken from another master and have less good sound, but the rest of the recording is excellent!

Additional comments:
Very good audience recording. This is the first concert of the Golden Heart tour, three hours of music and a lot of very rarely performed songs such as No Can Do, Gravy Train and Portobello Belle. There are also Irish Musicians as guests which bring something nice in the songs.

NOTE: I messed up the dates on Kansas and Dallas. The dates are wrong, but the locations are right. Also note that Munich 91 and Vienna 85 are probably taken from the videos, so they're both camcorder audio.

Merry Christmas, and, as always, ENJOY!!!
