Central Park 1980 or 81

[binone]

Tagging my collection, realized there is an strange concert from which we almost know nothing. Loked for it in the forum and there is nothing about it.

It has 5 songs; DTTW, OUATITW, LW, SOS and ET. Is from 1980 or 1981, there is also a bootleg dating it on 1981-1-1 (https://www.discogs.com/es/Dire-Straits-Central-Park-New-York-NY-January-01-1981/release/3808161)

The quality is soundboard. Those songs ar also included in the Rock File 80 bootleg.

In The bible from Jeroen it says is from Central Park Schaffer Music festival, but this is impossible, because the last festival was in 1976, Later was called Dr. Pepper Central Park Music Festival, and lasted to Summer 1980. There is nothing about a Dire Straits concert at that year. (http://rateyourmusic.com/list/grassroot/the_dr__pepper_central_park_music_festival/2/)

Also the dates don´t seem to coincide with any tour in NA.

Does anybody have any clue about this concert?

I have checked the eastbound train, comparing with all the versions I have, and there is no coincidence with other known bootleg.

With Eastbound Train on it, this bootleg has to be from 1978 or 1979, Eastbound Train wasn´t played further than 1979...

There are many bootlegs with wrong cities or dates... There are versions of Wembley 85 dates as New York 86, or some of the Mandela show dated as New York 88 or 89, I can´t recall, but this one you mention has to be some of those cases...

Just check for 78 or 79 soundboards and you will find which one is this, my bet, is a short version of San Francisco or Philadelphia 79.

There are many incarnations of the Old Waldorf (San Francisco) '79 and, especially, the Boston '79 bootlegs.
