5 out of 5 stars A Great Live Recording From Dire Straits   July 8, 2006
The God That Failed
0 out of 4 found this review helpful

I always thought this and On Every Street was all you need. but no, Dire Straits are great with all good albums til Alchemy and BBC. This is a terrific live recording from the On Every Street
world tour 1991-92 has a great live version of Heavy Fuel, Money
for Nothing, and Calling Elvis. I highly recommend you get this
along with Metallica Black Album, Foreigner 4, Nirvana Nevermind, and GNR Greatest Hits. DIRE STRAITS ROCK..
ps. this one is much better than Alchemy or BBC so get this
live recording today.

Dire Straits are one of my favorite bands of all time with lots
of talent. And this is one of my favorite albums, period. Some of the best songs on here are 'Calling Elvis', 'Heavy fuel', and 'Money for Nothing' and they are total rocking. Buy this album if you don't have it.,
Dire Straits were always talented
which make great music.

This album's terrific but I still hear people complaining, can
they stop?????? This is live and I love the works of this album,
the best song is Heavy Fuel, they way they do it live really rocks hard AND IS THE BEST TO ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS IN HISTORY. Calling Elvis has great guitar live and is better than
studio. Get this with the 3 best DS ALBUMS.....,

5 out of 5 stars Great live album with great sound and song line up   February 25, 2006
Music Lover (USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

A lot of people seem to tend to shy away from live shows for a variety of reasons including lack of ambience (listening to it is nothing like being there), the band doesn't sound that great live (see ambience comment), too much crowd noise, missing a favorite song etc...This album, thankfully, fails in none of these categories.

While the ambience of a cd will never match that of actually being there for the show, the producer of this live effort took the time to carefully bring the crowd in but not too much to take away from the music giving you a small feeling of being there. The sound quality of the instruments and Mark Knopfler's voice is incredible. They can just flat out play and this cd shows it. Finally, the song line up is great and show cases much - if not all - of their best work. I can't say this cd has everything for everyone but the line up of songs shouldn't leave anyone disappointed.

Over all I highly this recommend this amazing cd and would also recommend the DVD version that goes along with it.
