Our Take

Ah, Dire Straits - the band that took us all down that tunnel of love with their smooth guitar licks and infectious melodies. And now, they've graced us with the Best Of Sydney, a collection of their greatest hits live from the iconic Australian city.

As the opening chords of "Sultans of Swing" hit our ears, we're transported back to a time when music was pure and simple, when all we needed was a guitar and a dream. Mark Knopfler's distinctive voice cuts through the air like a knife, with a rawness and vulnerability that few can match.

But it's not just the classics that shine on this album. Tracks like "Romeo and Juliet" and "Brothers in Arms" showcase the band's versatility and depth, with poignant lyrics and haunting melodies that linger long after the music stops.

The live recordings also add an extra layer of energy and excitement to the songs, giving them a new lease of life that makes you feel like you're right there in the front row, swaying along with the crowd.

Overall, Dire Straits' Best Of Sydney is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and timeless appeal. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of one of the greatest bands of all time. Cheers, mate.
