Additional comments Very good audience recording of the first of four charity gigs in July 2002. This one is on behalf of Save the baby. Announced as "Mark Knopfler and friends", Mark plays with The Notting Hillbillies in the first half of the show and with virtually Dire Straits (including John Illsley and Chris White) in the second half. But during the whole gig different musicians are turning up. Jimmy Nail came on stage for backing vocals on Why aye man, Money for nothing and So far away. Some nice arrangements on What it is, Romeo and Juliet, and including new songs Quality shoe and Why aye man from The ragpicker's dream album which was released two months after the charity shows. Good sound quality.
