sorted byYep. Best live performance of any song, ever.
They are not remotely like each other.
Surely Dire Straits not prog rock?
Whoosh
They don't appear to be remastered either (you can see I'm looking for an excuse to buy!).
Ah, it's almost Money For Nothing
I listened to the Alchemy versions long before I heard the originals - infinitely better. It. a real shame that Alchemy isn't included as they are a pinnacle of music
Making Movies is my Fave.
Heat!!!
You wish you didn't have them so you could buy them
By George, I’ve got it.
Well think of it this way. Either we don't understand Gravity or only 4.9% of the Universe is visible to us, the rest is Dark Matter and Dark Energy. So we know nothing. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. The radiosphere extends from this planet about 160 miles across, so 80 light years in every direction. This is the transmissions of the human race since the 20th Century. The transmissions have gone nowhere in terms of reaching any significant stars, the visible Universe is about 90 million lightyears across and possibly 25x bigger than that. It's likely that the human race will die out millions of years before our transmissions reach other civilisations if they exist, and the chances appear good in that respect. The Universe is so unimaginably massive and incomprehensible in size.
Of course this could be a simulation, there's no way yet to prove or disprove that. No human is likely to discover the reason they exist and the mysteries of the Universe will remain so to us. This is an incredibly special existence. If we really can only see 4.9% of what exists in the Universe and the rest is unknown to us, there's a reasonable chance that anything is possible. When anything is possible there's always hope.
I'm not sure if Dire Straits covered any of this in their lyrics, probably with good reason (edited)
Totally Agree esp the long instrumental section at the end
But not at "My Parties"
Well, after Calling Elvis and completing my Private Investigation, I decided to buy it anyway. As you say, it's a great deal for a Local Hero.
The two tracks he mentioned are a bit proggy
Almost, but not quite. Queen playing Get Down, Make Love for me. My ears had just about acclimatised to the volume when they rocked this at the NEC!!
Is there a punchline to this?
Why not Rea Dire?
Deffo over my head.
I totally agree these sound amazing on vinyl. Funnily enough I never really liked Dire Straits when I was younger (they seemed too middle of the road) but bought a selection of their LPs last year off eBay and they are some of the best recordings I have heard.
