Hello and a happy new year to all fellow DS and MK fans every where.
Yes, at the moment i have again the so called So Far Away-Calypso-Version in my head, because it is very unique and special version and i like it very much. We all know that version from the Australian last concert in Sydney on 26. April 1986, and from the old Christchurch-Show in March 1986 in NZ, too.
My question to all other song-experts here:
Does someone have more detailed information on the subject of that unique arrangement of SFA, Dire Straits played in Australia and New Zealand ?? I´m intrested in some background infos about the arrangement, the development of it, or the idea behind that arrangement, and of course whose idea it was to play SFA so unique.
A few years ago i have contacted John Illsley, but he couln´t remember exactely the story or the development behind that arrangement. So i need some more help here.
Best wishes Klaus.
