Near the end of the road for them Dire Straits got a grandiose finale before breaking up: a mammoth two years tour in 1992-93.


The end result was that album "On the night".

First CD ever in my parent's home !


My favorite one:

Dire Straits surely had one gifted saxophonist... !


This album has had a peculiar effect on me: having started with the live, vibrant, stretched songs, I could never - and still cannot - listen the album / radio variants. They just feel and fall flat. Even as background in The West wing or The Americans...


And as bonus for a space nerd, it has the VLA antenna(s) on the cover.  What's not to like ??!!!
