TOL from the Final Oz sounds raw and full of energy. And no other SFA beats that one. But for BIA, Wembley wins by far...

Oh man, SFA from the Wembley show brings back so many memories. But it's funny though - I have never really been fashion-conscious, but that I actually thought they were cool back in my teens is actually pretty amazing. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the music, but they could have paid a tad more attention to looks. I mean, with the exception of Jack "Miami Vice Suit" Sonni and Terry "Pub Owner" Williams, they all look like computer geeks ("Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome, right out of the server room, Dire Straits!").

At least they were loved for their music not for their look. And Mark had a look.

Hey now...be careful with how you talk about the computer geeks.  :P

(It's actually not a Fender)

No, on the Wembley arena show and Live Aid he played the red Schecter.

Oh man, that pic of a computer guy is hilarious!! ;D
Guy looked cool too imho, but MK's trousers look like builders' overalls.

Btw, for me Alchemy is definitely much much better than any 85 show (in fact it's the best pieces of music for me ever). 85 shows lack the special energy combined with "innovativeness". It is best heard in the after summer bootlegs where the band is starting to get worn out a bit and bored.  Eg TOL can have 19-22 minutes, but the part they added doesn't have any special solo, and imho is needless.
