Yes. But it's very interesting and strange. There is Rainbow Theater from 1979. There is nothing professional recording of Brothers In Arms tour

When they were in the middle of the phenomenon that was BiA they wouldn't have realised that it was going to end up having historic status.

They had just recorded and released a live album/video of the previous tour so I'm sure they assumed there wouldn't be appetite from the public to buy another so soon after.

I remember a DSIS newsletter where someone asked Liz Whatley if there would be any live record from the BIA tour and she answered that MK considered the set was quite similar to Alchemy so it won't make sense.

The boss is the boss.

That's probably the reason they didn't invest in hiring a mobile studio to record BIA shows.

Because they didn't have hindsight and he's too mean to hire one just in case they don't release one. 💰

But Phonogramm could have done it.
After all official live recording are by the record company not the band itself.

With Alchemy being their previous record, I doubt it as it was too close in the timeline. Maybe nowadays that could be something more common but in those days, you don't release so much live records, usually one at the half of the career of a band and other at the end (which was what happened with DS...) specially since hiring a mobile recording studio was expensive, so you had to think about it in a commercial way.

However, I think that there are multitracks from Wembley 85 as far as the credits of the tv broadcast mentions that they used the Rolling Stones Mobile (the same they used for Alchemy) so probably they should have those multitracks somewhere, same than the Rainbow 79 concert, that was recorded for the Arena documentary. If there were multitracks of that, just for the documentary, they should have the Wembley multitracks as well!

You may be right about Wembley 85.


I suppose that Guy was given the tapes to work on them but was it involved with research and right securing?

Wembley 85 (July 10) recording was used by 2 braodcasters :
  • on Channel4 TV channel in UK
  • on King Biscuit Flower Hour syndicated radio show [then owned by DIR BROADCASTING CORP and sold to Wolfgang's] in the US

But who is the legal owner of the master tape recording ?
And is it lost?

And who was the owner of the Rainbow concert? It was broadcasted by the Arena show, maybe they traced it for the rights and they could do the same for Wembley 85?

I hope so!

I recently purchased a bootleg DS Live USA. Concert from Cleveland on August 5, 1985. Incomplete but sounds very good.

CD. 1

Ride across the river
One world
Romeo and Juliet
Private investigations
Why worry
Walk of life
Two young lovers

CD. 2

Money for nothing
Tunnel of love
Expresso love
Solid rock, Brothers in arms, Going home - Houston 17th August 1985

The last 3 songs from Houston don't sound that good. But this concert would also be a good candidate for an official live album.

Cleveland is just stereo mix, no multitracks.

I never liked the Cleveland mix. it sounds like a mix for monitoring, not for FOH. no reverb, no audience, some instruments too much loud

Yes, but it sounds fantastic. Pity.

If it was in multitracks, they could improve it.

Hi Robeson. Is it the old 2-CD-Set from Swinging Pig Records ? Named by Swining pig as Dire Straits - American Tour 1985, Cuyahoga Falls. ? There is a 3-LP-record set out now ,Blossom Music Center. Is that the Cleveland-Gig, you mean ?  :think
I´ve spotted out another adäquate candidate for a new release from BIA-Tour 1985. It is Berlin Deutschlandhalle 1985. I have it as 2-CDR-Set and as audio-files on my computer. I think it was from Jeroens collection for me. For my taste, it also has a really good sound-quality, but i think it was incomplete, a portion of Tunnel of love is missing, as i can recall. They played a part of the German national anthem in Going Home. Yes, i think we can spot out some other very goodsounding gigs from that tour as a little dream for re-release on 2-CD-Set or on Vinyl-set.  :think
