the best music ever... better than any album version.. excellent performance, especially Mark's relaxed style and Paul's pedal steel.. my vote was 10/10.. I couldn't find 20/10 :) The concert begins on daylight with catchy songs like Calling Elvis, Walk Of LIfe (check out the pedal steel guitar!!) and when the night falls, ballads like Romeo and Juliet (Sax is great!), Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations and You and Your Friend makes me regret that in 1993 I was only a kid and I was not allowed to travel abroad all by myself... that's real music and unfortunately great things do not just happen.. I suggest you also watch Pulse (Pink FLoyd), for another amazing performance.

This concert is recorded in two places-Rotterdam ,Holland and Nimes, France in May 1992-the last Dire Straits tour-On Every Street. It presents Dire Straits like one of the best live performance group ever.Mark Knopfler discloses his great talent like guitar player and singer in this concert. They plays their most popular songs in other versions with different instruments and style-Walk of Life, Brothers in Arms, Your Latest Trick,On Evert Street, Money for Nothing and the beautiful Romeo and Juliet. Here you can listen other excellent musicians like Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher(keyboards), Chris White (saxophones), Paul Franklin (pedal steel guitar)...etc.Amazing concert!!

In this live show, the band surprises the audience in every song. Even playing "traditional" and well known songs, it took a while to recognize each song, because Dire Straits gave each song a new intro, with new instruments and themes. Although, they sound like recorded in a full fledged studio, the quality (and clarity) is outstanding.I've never seen, any band sound so good live. Technically excellent, and musically touching and rewarding. It was delightful re-meet the dearest band, and the dear songs, in a completely new arrangement. The only downside is that the most famous song (Sultans of Swing-1977) is missing in the DVD and in the CD.

Recorded during Dire Straits' last tour in 1992, in France, this concert confirms well a thing: Mark Knopfler is one of the most talented guitarists of his generation. He had formed his legendary band, fifteen years ago, and after all this time, he didn't lose anything from his inspiration, his sharpness and his talent. Maybe, you can blame him for not being rousing enough for the faster songs such as "money for nothing" or "the bug" but he knows very well how to be peaceful and calm for the gorgeous ballads "on every street", "brothers in arms". Moreover, he's supported by a handful of musicians in great form, especially the drummer and the percussionist. The concert unanimously acclaimed by the fans,reaches its highest point with the wistful and entrancing "local hero". At the end, a good but a bit listless concert. Nevertheless, Dire Straits' fans will find something in it.
