Good concept, poorly executed.

Humbersi

The first must-see film of the year.

Ella-May O'Brien

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I have all Dire Strait's albums but just the one live DVD. There may be a better/newer/whatever one, but for me it's fine and has a superb sound quality, with a very wide stereo sound-stage, with one wailing guitar seemingly coming from my next door neighbour's!The only downside is that it's in 4:3 ratio which fits oddly on a widescreen, but the stadium is huge, the crowd receptive and the tracks flow nicely into each other. Meanwhile, Mark Knopfler looks strangely more like Bob Geldof but has the requisite head band and god of a guitar. The way it is filmed and angled may be typically standard but at least you see what is playing, when you need to.So, slick production, excellent sound and my favourite DS songs - that's why it's one of the few live DVDs that I do play again and again.

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.

Mark Knopfler and the boys give a concert in the Netherlands in 1992. This is a combination of material from a couple of albums (CDs), combining some of the older stuff with his new (at the time) material. While this concert isn't as good as Knopfler's "A Night In London," it's pretty solid. It's a bit more mellow and the group isn't very animated, yet the concert is a pleasing one. Good crowd shots help pump up the interest, and a fast number does come on, the impact is all the more. The crowd, despite a lot of rain, was into it here, giving great support. Europe has to have some of the best rock crowds in the world. They are dedicated fans who love their music.The best song on this tape is probably the first one: a 10-minute "Calling Elvis" version. Great stuff, but Dire Straits was always a great band and Knopfler's guitar work is about as good as it gets.

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!!
