Our Take

Ah, Dire Straits - the band that makes you want to pick up a guitar and pretend you're a laid-back rock god. San Antonio 1985 captures that magic perfectly, with Mark Knopfler's signature guitar licks weaving through each track like a snake charmer trying to hypnotize you.

From the opening notes of "Romeo and Juliet" to the bombastic finale of "Money for Nothing", this live album is a non-stop rollercoaster of toe-tapping hits and virtuosic solos. The band sounds tight and energetic, feeding off the crowd's energy and delivering each song with a swagger that only comes from years of performing.

The live versions of classics like "Sultans of Swing" and "Walk of Life" are absolute gems, breathing new life into these timeless tunes. And with the addition of tracks like "Twisting by the Pool" and "Two Young Lovers", this album offers something for both die-hard fans and casual listeners alike.

In conclusion, Dire Straits San Antonio 1985 is a must-listen for anyone craving a taste of that classic rock nostalgia. So grab a pint, put on your leather jacket, and turn up the volume - because this album is the perfect soundtrack for a night of pure rock 'n' roll escapism.
