Anachronism in the Luxembourg Bootleg 1983 and other discoveries

[Brunno Nunes]

I appreciate a lot Bruno's investigations but I get lost very early...

Is there any conclusion?

The other conclusion is that the bootleg Once upon a time in 1983 XX.XX.83, which until then, its date and location were a mystery, is a strong candidate to be the real 30.05.1983 Centre Sportif Differdange Luxembourg, the recording has all the characteristics of the tour period between 24.05.1983 Hallenstadion Zürich Switserland to 12.06.1983 Ijsselhal Zwolle Netherlands

Thus, it could be the following dates not yet catalogued:

25.05.1983 Patinoire des Vernets Geneva Switzerland
26.05.1983 Patinoire des Vernets Geneva Switzerland
27.05.1983 Palais des Sports Grenoble France
28.05.1983 St. Jakob Sporthalle Basel Switzerland
30.05.1983 Centre Sportif Differdange Luxembourg
01.06.1983 Forest National Brussels Belgium
12.06.1983 Ijsselhal

Brunno is the master in finding accurate details among bootlegs and recordings 

I always learn many things reading his posts 

Thank you very much for the recognition, dear JK, language limitations can sometimes hinder the understanding of something so meticulous, but I strive to bring light to my shared experience, I would not like to keep my discoveries and experiences to myself. My way of dealing with these recordings is that I see each tour as a book, each show is almost like a chapter in a book that is being developed until it changes to a new chapter and reaches the end. Looking back at the LOG tour 82-83, the last chapter ends with Alchemy. Today I understand well the paths taken by the band until reaching the result of each version of Alchemy, especially the version of Sultans of Swing, or Once Upon a Time in the West. I mention these because they are songs that the band had been playing live for the longest time, since 1978. So, each tour can give us a different experience with any song, neither worse nor better. That's not what it's about, it's just a different experience. For me, each tour has a unique flavor, a new dimension of the band or artist. In the case of Dire Straits, it's like a little movie, and that's what always makes it an exciting and intense experience for me. I think that being a disciple of Knopfler on the guitar, as well as an enthusiast of his sound, helped me a lot to actively listen to these recordings. It seems to me that it broadens the angle of perception of certain details. That's just a hypothesis.

As you can see, there are many nuances and details that cover the universe of a Dire Straits tour, only in their songs I was able to point out some variables within the same tour, and I guarantee that I am summarizing, highlighting the most important points to show how I realized that there was something wrong, anachronistic with the recording Luxemburg 1983. Deals like these are spread throughout the tours in different ways and I have everything mapped out in my mind and typed files, where I put my analyzes and perspectives, for those who know One day, I can organize and give a broader destiny...   

I wonder how many more errors like this can there be from our favorite bootlegs 

It's rare, but it's possible. So far I've managed to identify two. Whenever I discover something new about this, I'll bring it here for anyone who might be interested.

Thank you for the recognition. I'm happy to know that there are people who are interested in this aspect of the band. Analyzing the bootlegs and exploring this universe so rich in details is the best way to get to know the band we love.

I gave a replica of this shirt to Alan Clark when he came to Brazil with DSL. I had the opportunity to watch him perform with DSL on two occasions, in 2017 and 2019. It was an incredible experience for me, because in addition to watching those songs with him playing those wonderful and atmospheric sounds of his instrument (a luxury), I recommend it to anyone who can watch it. I was able to talk a little with him and the entire band on both occasions. They are true gentlemen, very kind.

I fulfilled a dream of meeting a great musical hero in person, and I have great respect and admiration for the art of this master.
