Dire Straits?

If you guys have the chance, check out....

"The Prince's Trust 10th Anniversary Concert" on CD, VHS, and Laserdisc - Mark Knopfler doing "Money For Nothing" with Sting. Phil Collins on drums with Eric Clapton back MK on guitar.

"On The Night" - DS' live concert video during their last tour. Excellent version of "Calling Elvis", "Private Investigation", "Money For Nothing", and "Theme from Local Hero".

Don't forget about MK's movie soundtracks...."Local Hero" (excellent film w/ Burt Lancaster), "Princess Bride", "Cal", etc....all excellent as well.

Call me cheesy, but I really like Romeo & Juliet on the
Sultans of Swing (among others of their CDs). Much better than the super cheesy rendition by the Indigo Girls.

not for absolute proof positive, but i'm pretty sure. the GH version is labeled as "remastered". one of these days i'll compare both (they're in two different places at the moment).

Nothing cheesy about a Knopfler tune. The guy has class, and his work is second to none. Keep on listening
