DIRE STRAITS was at the height of its peak in 1985 when "BROTHERS IN ARMS" became an astronomical hit. A superb video that allows you to witness that moment is now available. This work was filmed at “Wembley Arena performance on July 10, 1985.” This is the multi-camera pro shot. When you think of “1985” and “Wembley”, that “LIVE AID” also comes to mind, but in fact this work is also closely related to that legendary stage. In order to explain the circumstances around that, let's first look back at the overall picture of the world tour that reached its peak. 1985 April 25th - June 25th: Europe #1 (48 performances)《BROTHERS IN ARMS'' released on May 13th》 June 28th - July 16th: UK #1 (19 performances) ←★Coco★・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) This is DIRE STRAITS in 1985/1986. A huge tour was carried out along with the big hit of "BROTHERS IN ARMS", but the Wembley performance of this work is its home country version. This was the 13th concert of "UK #1". This “UK #1” is not just a home country tour, but is also legendary for having held 13 consecutive performances at “Wembley Arena & Stadium”. “LIVE AID” was the 10th performance, and this work was the 7th performance three days before that (by the way, only “LIVE AID” was at Wembley Stadium. The others were at “Wembley Arena”) It was a solo performance). This work recorded at such a show is a multi-camera professional shot that has long been known as a classic. It is the best version of that. In fact, it is hard to say that it is "completely official grade" by the modern standards of the digital era as it is only analog recording, but according to the standards of the time, it can be declared without hesitation. The most amazing thing is Master Freshness. Although the image quality itself has an analog feel, there is no white line noise, tape distortion, or dubbing marks, and every corner of the screen is glossy and beautiful. In addition to a crisp and stable feel, the audio is also an official grade stereo sound board. It is truly a superb video work that will make you ``see BROTHERS IN ARMS with your own eyes.'' What is drawn with that quality is a full-scale great performance that is like an expanded version of the legendary "LIVE AID". “LIVE AID” only had two songs, “Money for Nothing” and “Sultans of Swing,” but this work is a long show unique to solo performances. Here, let's organize the set while comparing it with the official traditional edition "ALCHEMY".・DIRE STRAITS: Sultans Of Swing ・MAKING MOVIES: Tunnel Of Love / Solid Rock / Expresso Love ・LOVE OVER GOLD: Private Investigations ・LOCAL HERO: Going Home ・BROTHERS IN ARMS: So Far Away (★) / Why Worry (★) /Money Of Nothing (★) /Walk Of Life (★) /Brothers In Arms (★) /The Man's Too Strong (★) *Note: Songs marked with "★" cannot be heard on "ALCHEMY: DIRE STRAITS LIVE". ...and it looks like this. This is a treasure trove of masterpieces that sum up a glorious career, including the "BROTHERS IN ARMS" numbers released after "ALCHEMY". In addition to the 11 familiar songs, "Expresso Love" from another broadcast of the same show is also included as a bonus, allowing you to enjoy over 85 minutes of the show at its peak. The performance that spelled out the set was also wonderful, and the lively ensemble that boldly incorporated rock colors was vivid. Especially wonderful is the super famous song “Sultans Of Swing”. As the number of members increased, solos were included more and more and it became longer, but here, Chris White's exquisite saxophone solo is irresistible. The guests are also key to this video. Although it is not possible to co-star with Sting like “LIVE AID”, Nils Lofgren of THE E STREET BAND participates in “Solid Rock”. Furthermore, in addition to Lofgren, Hank Marvin of THE SHADOWS also appears and co-stars in "Going Home." This sense of luxury was also due to Wembley, which was in the midst of the biggest event of the century, ``LIVE AID.'' Of course, this work is an indoor venue and is completely different from the liberating feeling of "LIVE AID", but you can definitely feel the exciting, festival-like mood that flows there. It is a sight that can only be seen during the season, which is a highlight even during the peak season. This is a multi-camera pro shot that allows you to fully enjoy the golden age of DIRE STRAITS. A climax video work that you should enjoy together with that historic “LIVE AID”. Live at Wembley Arena, London, UK 10th July 1985 PRO-SHOT (85:29) 1. So Far Away 2. Sultans Of Swing 3. Why Worry 4.
