Really cool pics, thank´s for sharing.
The group-pic above is also well known, because it was used as frontcover for the Thank You Australia And New Zealand 2-CD-Set by Pluto-Records.

Thank you for posting some great pics here, SamGolden. Tough to jump from a 30 yo Mark to a 70 you Mark. Age is not just a number but that's life I guess. It's still 40 years great music and that's quite something in itself.

This is new to me!
Two legends together, I can only imagine the atmosphere of the sound that happened at that meeting. Who knows, maybe one day a recording will appear. I know it was in September 1985, when the BIA tour was doing the USA.

What a picture. That's DS in its prime time (in my view!).

great ! I saw it on FB
I only knew the other pic

one comment said this :
"After headlining the Oakland Arena during their “Money for Nothing” tour, Dire Straits dropped by Sweetwater unannounced, with two tour buses and an entourage of 70, to catch guitarist Mark Kopfler’s hero J. J. Cale, that night’s headliner. Knopfler, who had never seen Cale before, joined him onstage while the entourage huddled in the basement."

Great little article and a great description of "twiddly bits". I figured it out when I was 15 or 16, it always amazes me the amount of impact this lick has on the audience every time Mark plays it, sounds really fast, but actually easy to play
