Review by Anderson Butilheiro

Dire Straits' "Live At The BBC" album is a remarkable collection of live performances that showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and stage presence. The album features recordings from various BBC sessions between 1978 and 1981, capturing the band at the peak of their career.

The album starts with the iconic "Down to the Waterline," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Mark Knopfler's guitar work is on full display, and the band's tight rhythm section provides a solid foundation for the songs. Other highlights include "Sultans of Swing," "Tunnel of Love," and "Romeo and Juliet," all of which are performed with energy and enthusiasm.

One of the album's strengths is its raw, unpolished sound. The recordings capture the band's live sound and energy, giving the listener a sense of what it was like to see Dire Straits perform in their prime. The album also includes some rare tracks, such as "Wild West End" and "Southbound Again," which are not often performed live.

Electricity is in the air and running through Mark Knopfler's guitar in this fantastic set of songs. This BBC live performance sounds even better than their debut album. You can hear the adrenaline and desire to prove themselves on their home turf.

Lucky you for finding this—one of the best live versions of this song ever recorded. In most subsequent live versions the song was stretched to a 10 minute power ballad (w backing of full stadium tour band), those unabridged live versions play well to the spectacle of stadium concerts—this version; however, sticking close to studio version as needed for this BBC broadcast format, is just a great study in a pro band delivering the goods while Mark dances in the pocket pushing/pulling on both ends effortlessly decorating with his finger style attack. Notice the placement of the signature lick at the end of the solo, one bar later than recording. This is the case on every live version you’ll ever hear b/c Mark is a pro and lets it go only when it sits perfectly in the groove. All feel, nothing forced. Novel delivery every time!
