If you do not have it yet, if you have never heard of it, run to buy it without losing a minute! For me, this live is a must. Love music, rock, or electric guitar, without owning or knowing this album is almost unforgivable.
The game reached here Mark Knopfler incredible virtuosity of vertices, and the group as a whole manages to perfection. This is a live, but everything is in place wickedly, perfect. The energy is there, overflowing the conviction of the game and the song Knopfler is whole, his voice has rarely been so perfect.
Live containing highly enriched versions, often above the album versions (although it may be hard to believe when we already know the beauty of the album versions). I refer in particular to the époustoufflant "Sultans of Swing" that lasts 11min here with a fantastic final solo of about 5min, while the album version only 5:49 in all. Even stuff for "Tunnel of Love" and "Once upon a time in the west." And the difference is not that in the final solos, it is also a lot throughout the game, enriched at all levels.
"Romeo and Juliet" takes a lot of strength in this live and Telegraph Road, already sublime album "Love Over Gold" took the time to live and evolve since the release of this album, to achieve perfection in this live. Do not forget of course "Love Over Gold" (the song) and Private Investigations, which undoubtedly will delight those who prefer the acoustic guitar (and all others) and "Going Home", sumptuous, which clot the concert.
By chance, an official DVD remastered Alchemy 5.1 is due out in April this year! THE live together to have.
