This release features a top-quality stereo soundboard recording of Dire Straits’ February 17th, 1979 concert in Cologne, Germany, from their “Communique Tour,” taken from a radio broadcast. While the ROCKPALAST video of that year’s Cologne show is more familiar, this is a different performance from the following day, February 16th. Bonus tracks include four additional songs from the June 4th, 1979 Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands, also recorded in superb stereo soundboard quality from a radio broadcast.
