Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

" Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine" by the Doors plus "LA Woman" provides just enough Doors for me , never been tempted by any other full LP's
I occasionally forget how good "The Best Of The Doors" is and rediscover it on car journeys. L.A. Woman does have a special place in my heart, though.

Alchemy-Dire Straits Live (1983).
I know some people will scoff at this, but it was a major soundtrack of my sixth form years, in the eighties and I haven’t heard it for years.

I am right back there with all the friendship, love, joy and of course, angst! So nostalgic and whatever your views on the music I think it is a brilliant live album and those versions are THE versions for me.


No scoffing from me. Love that album.

Is that recorded at the Hammy Odeon?  I certainly saw Dire Straits live there that year, but am unsure if I've ever actually heard the live album.  Like many people I went very off Dire Straits after Brothers in Arms became arguably the most ubiquitous album of all time.  A single note of some of the songs on there can make me head for the hills.  The first three though, and maybe even four, are however great albums.

It's well worth a listen. Excellent album, I reckon.

They never came close to bettering Sultans of Swing as far as I'm concerned.

I like everything up to (and including) Brothers In Arms.  I can take or leave On Every Street.
