Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during the massive 'On Every Street' world tour, this impeccably produced live album captures Mark Knopfler's expanded backing band navigating their slick, blues-inflected catalog. The sprawling arrangements favor pristine fidelity and tasteful, extended guitar solos over raw energy. Released shortly before the group quietly disbanded, it serves as a sophisticated final document of their stadium-rock dominance.
