Dire Straits Sultans of Swing. You have to see the greatest live performance ever a complete vibe

Dire Straits Sultans of Swing was recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983. It is rumoured Terry Williams (drums) had his dad in the audience seeing him perform for the first time, this spurred him on resulting in other members reacting and giving what many consider one of their best ever performances. I consider Mark Knopfler’s guitar solo that night to be the best guitar solo ever performed, in fact Mark has to be one of the greatest guitarists ever 1983 A topsy Turvey year for us as a family as not had we the previous year endured the loss of our 12 month daughter we also had a new born daughter. I was still without work with little chance of getting any and I seemed to be drinking more and more. I was getting deeper and deeper into depression and I felt our marriage was suffering. I saw very little way out.
