Alchemy Live - 20th Anniversary Edition

[rudiger]

Now we are getting somewhere! See how a bit of harmless debate can get you closer to your goal?

Not wanting to spoil the party but anyone know which country that tour programme was from?

Seriously, I really don't mind if in the UK Alchemy was released in 1984 or 1990. I like to collect old editions of the DS cds and if for the first four albums I had no doubt about the release date (1983, not 1984), for one minute you've cracked my certainties about Alchemy.

I noticed whilst looking through all the info that has been posted on this thread i.e. programmes, CD labels etc. that in one advert ,if you bought a Philips CD player (in 1985) you were rewarded with a free ticket to see Dire Straits.

Now, in the days of CD players costing a few quid, you could actually reverse it and give  away a CD player with every MK ticket bought. Strange but true!

Hmm, well Arena is a good extra, and if memory serves it was shot on film so could look good on Blu-ray.

Thaaaaanks Ustas ,You are the best!

The fact that Love Over Gold is included on the CD may make people purchase the deluxe edition. Is this another marketing ploy? MK is a musician first and foremost, not a market stall seller. I am of the opinion he doesn't have much or rather he has very little say in what goes out to the public (not including his solo stuff in that statement).

Bonus (79 min)

Well, that's pretty depressing. Although, I should say this comes at little surprise. 

[Dutchessy]

9 minutes sultans of swing (old grey whistle)... I don't know that version...

[ustas]

it could be mystake or could include some documentary.

An additional details: DVD will have NTSC. Subtitles for DVD & BR: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian
Intro is Saturday Night At The Movies (no surprice) As far as I know (but there is not any info) the DVD and BR should be zone free. The release date depends on country - from 03 till 07 May.

9 minutes sultans of swing (old grey whistle)... I don't know that version...

Yes, and all the sources date the Old Grey Whistle Test gig from Dire Straits May 15th, and not May 16th like they do. Maybe we can expect a real surprise here? And maybe those clips were chosen because they were filmed and not videoed and therefore are a good choice for a bluray?

I don't think bands would hang around the OGWT set another day just to play the same song again. Is it not just a typo?
