Dire Straits - Live 1978 - 1992

NEW VINYL LP BOXSET ON UNIVERSAL 2023

12 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

On November 3, 2023 UMC/Mercury will release Dire Straits – Live 1978-1992, an 12 LP box set of live performances by Dire Straits, a band that straddled the globe in the eighties and nineties with their sophisticated rootsy guitar rock wedded to literate story-telling lyrics.

Emerging on the club and pub circuit in 1977, Dire Straits were led by charismatic Geordie singer-songwriter, record producer and composer Mark Knopfler, one of the most successful musicians the UK has ever produced, who is often cited as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Dire Straits’ sound defined the late 70s/early 80s with huge hits such as "Sultans Of Swing", "Romeo And Juliet", "Money For Nothing" and "Walk Of Life". Dire Straits’ 1985 album Brothers In Arms, a global No 1 and double Grammy Award winner, is one of the world’s best selling albums. After releasing their final album ‘On Every Street’ in ’91 and touring in ‘92, Knopfler called time on Dire Straits in 1995 and set off on a new path as a solo artist.
