Dire Straits/Australia 1986 S & V

“BROTHERS IN ARMS TOUR” was at its peak and conquered the entire earth. Introducing the best live set where you can witness the final highlight. The highlight performance is “April 26, 1986 Sydney Performance”. This is a 3-disc set with the stereo soundboard recording on discs 1-2 and the multi-camera pro shot on disc 3. Speaking of DIRE STRAITS at the time, the masterpiece “BROTHERS IN ARMS” achieved astronomical success and captivated the entire world with a huge world tour. First of all, let’s check the position of the show in its progress. 1985 April 25th – June 25th: Europe #1 (48 performances)《BROTHERS IN ARMS” released on May 13th》 June 28th – July 16th: UK #1 (19 performances)・July 23rd – October 13th: North America (58 performances) ・October 22nd – November 30th: Europe #2 (33 performances) ・December 3rd – 31st: UK #2 (24 performances) February 7th – April 26th, 1986: Oceania (55 performances) ←★Here★ This is DIRE STRAITS in 1985/1986. They toured the world with the largest number of performances in their career, and the Oceania tour in particular recorded an unprecedented mobilization of 900,000 people. It was a huge success that will go down in the nation’s history. The Sydney performance of this work was the final day of the “Oceania” leg, and it was a concert that would be enjoyed all over the world. The show is also broadcast on TV and radio, and has become a standard representative of “BROTHERS IN ARMS TOUR” for a long time. This work is a superb set that couples the highest peak masters of such TV / FM broadcasting. In fact, the quality is tremendous. Particularly important is the superb soundboard audio. This broadcast had monaural and stereo, but this work is unified with a stereo sound board. You can enjoy the 2-disc full live album and TV broadcast pro shots in stereo. Moreover, this is a completely official mix and sound quality. It is exactly the “BROTHERS IN ARMS tour version ALCHEMY”. And the visual beauty of the TV broadcast pro shots is also superb. As expected, the image quality has an analog feel, and although it is hard to say whether it can be called “completely official quality” in this day and age of digital, if it were by the standards of the time, it would be enough to make you want to scream at the sunset over the sea. What is especially wonderful is the freshness of the master, the stability with no tape twisting or white line noise is excellent, and the coloring is the same as it was at the time. Even more amazing is the production. There are some 80s-style images and animations added here and there, but this is a very nice touch. Normally, it would be the kind of production that would be old-fashioned and make you want to say, “Don’t do anything unnecessary,” but this broadcast only adds a little bit, and it doesn’t feel too shabby or obtrusive. Rather, there is a slight sense of the era of 1985 that was aroused by “LIVE AID”, and it matches the sound of the era. What is depicted with such visual beauty/sound is the culmination of the climax of “BROTHERS IN ARMS TOUR”. This week, the standard pro shot “WEMBLEY ARENA 1985”, which symbolizes the home version of “BROTHERS IN ARMS TOUR”, will also appear, but while that was a digest, this work is a full show. Let’s compare and organize them here.・DIRE STRAITS: Sultans Of Swing・MAKING MOVIES: Expresso Love/Romeo And Juliet (★)/Tunnel Of Love/Solid Rock・LOVE OVER GOLD: Industrial Disease (★)/Private Investigations・EXTENDEDANCEPLAY: Two Young Lovers (★)・LOCAL HERO: Going Home ・BROTHERS IN ARMS: Ride Across The River (★) / So Far Away / Why Worry / Your Latest Trick (★) / Walk Of Life / Money Of Nothing / Brothers In Arms ・Others: Waltzing Matilda (★ ) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “WEMBLEY ARENA 1985”. …and it looks like this. In addition to the new songs “Ride Across The River” and “Your Latest Trick,” the show includes representative songs from each era such as “Romeo And Juliet,” “Industrial Disease,” and “Two Young Lovers,” making it a truly culminating show. “Waltzing Matilda” is the only song that is a little unfamiliar, but it is a favorite song of Australia and is also known as the “unofficial nation.” Although it is not a band performance, it is only a piano and Mark’s guitar, but it is overlaid with a large chorus of the large audience, leading to the grand finale of “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)” that concludes the historic world tour. is. It is simply a treasure trove of masterpieces, but more than that, it is a full show that concludes the era of great prosperity. This is a rare piece of music that allows you to enjoy every detail of it in the highest quality. That is a 3-disc set of excellent soundboard/pro shots that rivals the masterpiece “BROTHERS IN ARMS” itself.
