Faster Tunnel of Love Version?

[Dutchessy]

Came across this version, it's faster than the album version. Is this an original one?
Or speeded up manually by some funny person?

I like this version!

It's from "Dire Straits - The Videos".  Yes, it's the album version, but it does seem a tad faster on the video!  Just had a listen to the album - it's 8.05 mins long!  

[Dutchessy]

Yes, it's faster, and therefore also in a higher note.

I have the same video at my Sultans of Swing - very best of DVD but that's the
same version as on the album(s). I had never heard this faster version before.

[Love Expresso]

Well, you know, it's old stuff. Mark used to play waaaay FASTER when he was young! The band really had trouble to keep on with him!

The Making Movies videos are laughably amatuerish.

Perhaps the speed issue is down to PAL speedup?

Yes, this must be the reason... Thanks Dusty.
The video is 4% shorter than the album version.

Crappy videos, I dont know which one is worst, Tunnel, Romeo or Skateaway. I know it was the 80's but... this videos are not bad, they are worst than bad...

[dustyvalentino]

Romeo is definitely the worst.

Did they throw a pretty stranger on the floor ?
Not easy that one ...

They wanted to throw David Knopfler but he was lacking on two crucial criteria...

[tunnel85]

Very funny.   

[Jules]

If you think that David wasnt at the band when the video was made, at least he was a stranger to the band 

[Jules]

There is another "Tunnel of love" video, better than the previous one, but very bad as well

 

The funny moment is in the little venice channel, where you can see many "Dire Straits" and "Communiqu

This is one of the two criteria Dusty has in mind.
The second criteria,  I can't decide :
Is DK pretty ? I have no idea and to be honest : I don't care.
