5.0 out of 5 stars Great concert!, 7 Dec 2004
By Kat (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
This is Dire Straits live in concert.

I love this DVD! It takes you back to the days when DS were stadium superstars and touring was a big production. It is a perfect showcase for the genius of Mark Knopfler who, by the way, looks very cool. MK is not a show off. There are no apocalyptic "Time to smash some guitars" scenes here. Mark Knopfler is here to play his many guitars, and he does just that, extremely brilliantly.
True, the DVD was shot in 2 different locations, so what? It is very well shot, the colors giving a feel of the mood and ambiance that come with each song. The setlist offers a unique insight into the musical explorations of Mark Knopfler from the dynamic "Solid Rock" to the mysterious, bluesy "You and Your Friend". "Private Investigations" shows some remarkable guitar work with plenty of close shots on fingers to illustrate the great guitar picking style that is Mark Knopfler's trademark. What a delight!
The band members are very well rehearsed and give a tight and solid performance.
What's not to like???? It's a fantastic show. It rocks! Just what a rock concert should be all about. If you like Dire Straits, you will like this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Dire Straits' great moments, 15 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Dire Straits - On The Night [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
This was as far as I know the last worldtour of Dire Straits. The true guitar magic of Mark Knopfler is beautifully shown in this nicely shot concert footage. Dire Straits performs every song with their usual perfection. However it's a big disappointment that the sound was not remixed to Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1
Still this is a very nice concert to own - add some quality to your dvd collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent watching, 21 Mar 2005
Having read some other review of this album which complained about Mark Knopfler's seeming lack of motivation, I was slightly concerned that this would not prove to be as good as it might have seemed.

I'm glad to say that those fears were unfounded. This is a wonderful recording of these performances: it's probably the best video of a live performance I've ever seen. Regarding the playing, Mark Knopfler seems just happy more than unconcerned - happy to play his many guitars and please the crowds. The rest of the band, of course, do a great job as well!

The song selection is good here as well, although I would have liked to see the legendary "Sultans of Swing" performed as well. That's being churlish though - there are so many gems here, including "Walk of Life", "Romeo and Juliet", "Money for Nothing", and of course the wonderful "Brothers In Arms", to name but a few.

Overall, great watching, worth getting!
