New photos of Dire Straits in Houston 79, 85 and 92
« on: April 06, 2014, 10:21:07 PM »
Hi.

I Just came across this site with a lot of really nice pictures of Dire Straits in Houston i 1979, 1985 and 1992. The pictures from 85 is from the same date that the radio broadcast was from. Really nice pictures for sure! :)

Great find - cheers.  Wish the pics would enlarge and the watermark remove though. :-\

Great photos of the band in their "best" era. I fully understand why photos are watermarked but they didn't need to make them so obtrusive !

Also cool photos of John Travolta. I don't like his early albums though, but the latest one is outstanding indeed.

I don't like it, but to be accurate, the complete name is the Pensa-SHUR MK1, as it was designed and built by John Shur.

see this Ingo's article about Rudy Pensa's behaviour regarding this guitar :

Don't worry, I'm fully aware of the full name and history of this guitar.... ;)

If you mean the Steinberger, I've seen him play MFN on that.
