unofficial release that's worth adding to the collection if you're a fan
78 mins of Dire Straits at Wembley in 1985. It's not the whole show, there are obvious 'edits' to the set list ... but its a worthwhile addition to the collection with decent sound (Stereo only) and decent picture quality (in 4:3 and of 1980's standard - so a bit blurry here and there - not exactly sharp!) No real reservations - it's not an official product but it's of a quality that makes it an ESSENTIAL purchase for fans of the band who have the rest of the stuff that's out there.

Live In '85 revisited.
Finally found a DVD copy of most of the Tube's Live in '85 show to replace my old Video Tape copy, not the complete show but enough to get the flavour of Dire Straits at their best. Pity the owners of the original recording haven't made it available to us old DS fanatics.

Not a DVD as we now know it. It has a "Play" and "Select Song" but that's it, and indeed is really all one wants anyway! Although the video is clearly dated, it is viewable as a live concert. Fortunately the sound is good, and is (again) what one wants, of course. As others have commented, it is a must for DS fans, as none of the versions of tracks played by DS is ever exactly the same, with constant slight reworkings by Mark Knopfler. Recommended.

Good concert but quality of video is a little down
Good concert but quality of video is a little down, which I suppose is to be expected of such an old recording.
