Wonderful album. I have many beautiful memories. And the sea waves between Single Handed Sailor and the lunar Follow Me Home...

And the cover was voted best of the year.
Would love a BIG poster of that:)

It's the only live version of this Dire Straits song played by DS members, although in a tribute band.

It's curious that MK arrived with this song when the record was almost finished, ended being the title of it, but never performing it live...

My favorite cover. I Love Over Gold too ... But the blue envelope was more personal...

Such a lovely album. The first album was gritty, a bit rough around the edges, beautiful in its own right. Then came Communique, much smoother production, a bit more melancholic. It is similar to the first album, but still different enough that I'm surprised this album has been judged as a hurried production, not too inspired, etc. So many classic songs on this record. Great shame Mark hasn't performed more of the songs from it over the years.

Agreed. Although at least we are getting some major compensation this tour!

I'm not sure we really are.
This version is better than nothing but is so slow it borders on soporific.
I can understand the reasoning but to almost murder OUATITW and completely kill MFN is a real shame.

I can understand how you feel about OUATITW but MFN is shining like a northern star in this tour.

I agree that OUATITW is a bit on the slow side compared to the Alchemy version, but MFN is fantastic!   Have you actually been to a show to hear it yet and if so, which one?

Do you remember when talking about dreaming set list people usually put songs like OUATITW between that desired songs?

This is the nowadays MK, not the one from DS and this is what you would get.

Actually, I liked the OUATITW version a lot.
