Looking for a video clip of Romeo&Juliet
« on: June 19, 2012, 12:33:01 PM »
I am looking for a video I watched on youtube some time ago but cannot find anymore.

It was a TV playback show on which Hal Lindes played Mark's red maple neck Strat (the one of early Dire Straits, not the Schecter).
I am about 99% sure that the song was Romeo and Juliet.

I have a screenshot of it, in the upper right corner there is a logo saying "Jimmy" (the show? the TV station?)

It was not top of the pops, not Fridays etc. It must have been 1980. I guess it is on one of the OUATITTV DvDs, too, but I don't have all these...

Any hint which TV show it was would help so that I can better search for it. Or on which of the OUATITTV Dvds it is...

thanks

That's the one, exactly, thank you so very much.

I did a search for top of the pops in fact, and I even found a video, but it was a different one, this here:

 

I was not aware that they were twice on TOTP (1980 and 1981) !!

There is another version of the second clip. The description of this one says January 15, 1981 (?). You can also see the announcer, I guess the Brits among us might tell from this if it is TOTP, or what else.

 :) Solved!! Good work ingo. This is indeed the only Dire Straits TOTP appearance, so this means that the earlier posted version (the red strat one AMIT TV 0015) is from an unknown source.
This is one of the reasons that we thought of AMIT TV. We were hoping to get as many people as possible involved in confirming all the dates/concerts/interviews from day 1 of Dire Straits. And here we have solved one source of a TV clip, but created doubt about another. Anyone know the source of the AMIT TV (0015) video?
  
Confirmation:-
 



Also came across this:- http://z6.invisionfree.com/popscene/ar/t10085.htm
which includes this quote:-
"I always thought they were far too overated, but did knock out the occasional
good one, namely "Romeo & Juliet"," Walk Of Life" and i suppose "Money For
Nothing" though i have got very tired of hearing it now. Darlings of the
original MTV & CD buying generation.
