Additional comments The 'Music for Montserrat' concert was first aired on the 16th September 1997 on 'Sky Box Office' pay-per-view TV-channel (the source for these discs). A radio version of the show was first aired on the 20th September 1997. This recording is taken from the silver pressed bootleg "Music for Montserrat - FM broadcast master" from the famous Beano label. Some of rock music's biggest stars performed at a benefit concert in London on Monday, September 15th to raise money for the volcano-ravaged Caribbean island of Montserrat. The concert has been organised by Sir George and Lady Martin together with Harvey Goldsmith to raise funds for the victims of the Soufriere volcano on the island of Montserrat which has been in a continuous state of eruption since July 1993. The explosion in June 1997 killed 19 people and rendered 1500 homeless. Beatles producer George Martin, who has a luxury home and recording studio on the island, hopes to raise at least £500,000. Mark Knopfler was one of the artists that evening and of course his contribution can be found on this recording. Mark also plays a wonderful version of Layla together with Eric Clapton and also plays on the Paul McCartney set. Very good sound quality.
