UP CLOSE: DIRE STRAITS

 

Additional comments:
A very interesting radio show broadcasted in the On every Street period. Studio tracks and interviews with Mark Knopfler, John Illsley and Ed Bicknell. Interesting interviews with Mark telling about his love for Elvis Presley, the way of recording the On Every Street album and other stuff. Funny to hear tell Ed Bicknell about the first Dire Straits gig back in the summer of 1977 behind the appartment block they were all living in and also nice to hear John's story how he met Mark for the first time. Hosted by Dan Neir, complete show. Aired in March 1992. Available on two CD-R's.
