Another recording of excellent qualitiy. Date is somewhat in question - thinking it is from 1981 ! Im not sure, but perhaps the earliest recording of Dire Straits performing Telegraph Road. I am really developing a taste for the finer Audience recordings. I hope you like them too.

Hi Tony,
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Just to clear something up ref: Telegraph Road... it was indeed played Live several times in 1981 and there are several gig's which you can find over at Jeroen Van Tol's site ("On Every Bootleg") which confirm this. ... The 'Making Movies' tour covered shows in 1980 and 1981 and I can recommend the Boston 1980 show (recorded at the Berklee Performance Centre on 16th November) as another great audience recording of a really nice and intimate gig where they sound like they are playing in a small club... and it has that sort of cosy feel to it which is nice because they were just beginning to gravitate on to stadium's large arena's etc and so the intimacy can be lost in such places where the band are just a distant spec on the stage.
