What's this?

I remember a critic commenting on how honest "Alchemy" was in capturing


the live show. Knopfler screws up on the last song ("Going Home", from "Local Hero"), the audience gives him some applause, he recovers and it keeps going and sounds great. I love that song. They actually kept an error on the album because they wanted to capture the reality of that night on that tour.

Love Dire Straits and Knopfler too, though my 2 favorite albums are Making Movies and probably Love Over Gold. Telegraph Road is great.
