Dire Straits "Portobello Belle" (16 minutes!) 1983-06-22 Paris [AUDIO ONLY]

[@roddyboyd3190]

The guitar and sax interplay between Mark and Mel Collins is remarkable.

[@SoniaMaria-dy5ug]

Mark&DS ... You can't imagine how good it is to have you there to make us happy.... to see and feel life with more tenderness and love.... thank you so much!!!🌹💋

[@SimonRobeyns]

those drums are super tight and the sax with the keyboards and the guitar are just like a dream

[@franciscojaviervallejimene9643]

Thanks to my dad for making me love Dire Straits. I'm from Spain and since I first listened to Sultans Of Swing from Alchemy I realised that this was my favourite music group. Great version of Portobello Belle with that Guitar vs Saxophone solo. I wish someday we could get a soundboard version with that great Irish reggae. Thanks @BEST Knopfler LIVE

Si señor, haces muy bien en agradecer a tu padre la educación que te da, que no solo será musical. Chapeau por el viejo.

[@blackrider4839]

This extended live version is by far the best. I love Irish women the best they are a good woman tough as well as passionate and Irish love hands down better than any other.

[@charleslebek6684]

Mel Collins on saxophone is legendary

[@IsmailsGuitarWorld]

offcourse. long live Mel collins.

[@domenicov_versus3789]

Unfortunately the legendary full version remains still a dream....

[@kaspermichelsen8254]

I still can't get over the fact that we didn't get the full version when they re-released it. :(

[@danielaunger-siefert3575]

Love this so so much. Best Version. What a dialogue between MK and MC. ❤

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

Never heard this version, AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@BESTKnopflerLIVE]

You`re welcome:)

[@wyup]

gotta love Hal Lindes' rythmic guitar, it almost sounds like a banjo

[@DrDeath26]

Thanks for sharing. Love the early era of Dire Straits so much... their first album through Alchemy is just perfection!!!

[@BESTKnopflerLIVE]

Not at all! Thanks to Mark! :)

[@charleslebek6684]

Yes I totally agree with you. I did like Brothers in Arms though .

[@mattiasjohansson7231]

I think that all the dIRE sTRAITS productions were great. But communique, because it was rushed and written while on tour with pressure from people to make a follow up of the first album.. on the rest of the discography you can clearly see where Mark is going musically :)

[@bwgary]

Mattias Johansson Communique used to be my least favorite album, but it grew on me a lot. Making Movies was one of my favorites, but as I listened to it more and more it felt too pop. If I had to chose one one album it would probably be On Every Street.

[@nobodynothing2594]

@@bwgary have you heard Neck n’ Neck Album with Chet Atkins ? Look up Poor Boy Blues, Next time I’m in town & one more. Simply fab. 2 Legendary guitar players together.

[@owenmcgee8496]

I don't know London well; remember getting a tube to Notting Hill for the sake of some record shops; walking down a road and found myself in Portobello, where an open air food market was on and I ended up buying a cd by a duduk player. DS sound on this tour: Terry Williams/Mel Collins were old prog rockers and Alan Clark was allowed to do a lot. A different sound. Freer. Some improvisation. And with this running into ToL: 30 minutes non-stop playing.

[@grokur9714]

The Change to Tunnel of Love is magic

[@vincentkerr2917]

Superb Mr knopler.

[@vincentkerr2917]

The way Mel follows mks guitar 🎸 is amazing 👏..

[@dessiederatta8513]

First heard this on a jukebox in a pub in Oxford in the Summer of 1981....

[@dessiederatta8513]

Big hit at the time was The Specials "Ghost Town"....Maggie Thatcher had just arrived on the scene.

[@domenicozoccali4577]

I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! It touches my soul!!!

[@progmeup]

I never realized there was a little excerpt of this (a bit of the beginning and a bit of the ending) on the Alchemy album, just before Tunnel of Love.

[@jlbuenomeandro]

👍

[@direstuffmusic]

It’s actually part of Tunnel of Love

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

They did a lot of that on the original release of Alchemy. Expresso Love starts with the end section of Industrial Disease, and Romeo & Juliet ends with the intro to Love Over Gold.

[@claudiowaltrickmenezes4402]

Wonderful melody...magnífica...beatifull...

[@adolfogarciahernan640]

Sencillamente este directo es una obra de arte. El saxo insuperable.

[@jlbuenomeandro]

[@garygari439]

This is music, amazing song

[@COCOTEIER]

I was there, remember the ticket. At the end of the concert I heard a guy who said MK should be canonised. Couldn't agree more.

[@BESTKnopflerLIVE]

wow! you're lucky!!

[@alfonshollweck3599]

Portobello bello , könnte man auch instrumental hören, aber die Stimme Mark Knopfler gehört dazu. Aus der Feder eines musikalischen Genius stammend. Das ist Mark .

[@ilyasselghoul216]

No comment, just perfect

[@billyabongg1845]

Dire Straits forever..!

[@barriesansom2070]

Communique what a fantastic album

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

It was, but this and Once Upon A Time In The West got taken to the next level on this tour.

[@burningtoad505]

And around 8:00 and onwards you get a really nice mix with "angel of mercy", I never had realized how close both songs are, and that's in fact a trademark of MK's music

[@shard841]

Lol never realised that thanks.

[@burningtoad505]

You're welcome, always nice to comment on these so freak details haha!

[@nobodynothing2594]

Mark with Chet Atkins is class- Neck n’ Neck & the bits of instruments in Poor Boy Blues is insane. Two legends coming together.

[@amaraljose4154]

[@vincentkerr2917]

Mel Collins was amazing 👏 😍

[@cdorresteijn]

Awesome version of an awesome song in one of the best qualities I've heard of the Love Over Gold Tour (after Alchemy of course). The most bootlegs from this period are so shitty, but this sounds great!

[@BESTKnopflerLIVE]

yes, but there are many other bootlegs '1982-83 which sounds great!

[@jlbuenomeandro]

@@BESTKnopflerLIVE it's a shame . The record company had to release these songs in soundboard quality

[@jlbuenomeandro]

True

[@000273ful]

Spettacolare. Se la volessimo trasporre in un contesto e in una tradizione italiani, potremmo dire che ci stanno raccontando Porta Portese. Per il resto, è una festa: di immagini, di oggetti, di personaggi, dell'allegria semplice del popolo. Le risposte a canone in ritmo reggae tra Knopfler e Collins sono semplicemente da leggenda: capolavoro, peccato che non trovò spazio ufficiale su Alchemy.

Lyrics:তিনি দীর্ঘদিন ধরে চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়েকে নিয়ে একটি গান করেন Belladonna's on the high street Her breasts upon the offbeat And the stalls are just the sideshows Victoriana's old clothes Yeah she got the skirt so tight now She want to travel light now She want to tear up all her roots now She got the turn up on the boots now She thinks she's tough She ain't no English rose But the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows He do a song about a long-gone Irish girl But I got one of for you my Portobello Belle She sees a man upon his back there Escaping from a sack there And Belladonna lingers Her gloves they got no fingers Blind man, he's singing the Irish He get his money in a tin dish Just a corner serenader Once upon a time, he could have made her She thinks she's tough She ain't no English rose But the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows He do a song about a long-gone Irish girl But I got one of for you my Portobello Belle Yes and these barrow boys are hawking And a parakeet is squawking Upon a truck paper rhino She gets the crying of a wino And then she gets the reggae rumble Belladonna's in the jungle But she ain't no garden flower There ain't no distress in the tower Belladonna walks Belladonna taking control She don't care about your window box Or your buttonhole She sings a song about a long-gone Irish girl But I got one of for you my Portobello Belle গানের কথা: বেলাডোনা উঁচু রাস্তায় অফবিট উপর তার স্তন আর স্টলগুলো শুধু সাইডশো ভিক্টোরিয়ানার পুরানো পোশাক হ্যাঁ সে এখন স্কার্ট টা টাইট করেছে তিনি এখন আলো ভ্রমণ করতে চান সে এখন তার সমস্ত শিকড় ছিঁড়ে ফেলতে চায় তিনি এখন বুট উপর পালা পেয়েছিলাম সে মনে করে সে শক্ত সে কোন ইংরেজি গোলাপ নয় কিন্তু অন্ধ গায়ক তিনি যথেষ্ট দেখেছেন এবং তিনি জানেন তিনি দীর্ঘদিন ধরে চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়েকে নিয়ে একটি গান করেন কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি তিনি সেখানে একজন লোককে তার পিঠে দেখতে পান সেখানে একটি বস্তা থেকে পালিয়ে যায় এবং বেলাডোনা দীর্ঘস্থায়ী হয় তার গ্লাভস তারা কোন আঙ্গুল পায়নি অন্ধ লোক, সে আইরিশ গাইছে টিনের থালায় তার টাকা পায় শুধু একটি কর্নার সেরেনার এক সময়, তিনি তাকে তৈরি করতে পারতেন সে মনে করে সে শক্ত সে কোন ইংরেজি গোলাপ নয় কিন্তু অন্ধ গায়ক তিনি যথেষ্ট দেখেছেন এবং তিনি জানেন তিনি দীর্ঘদিন ধরে চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়েকে নিয়ে একটি গান করেন কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি হ্যাঁ আর এই ব্যারো ছেলেরা হকিং করছে এবং একটি প্যারাকিট squawking হয় একটি ট্রাক কাগজ গন্ডার উপর সে একটি উইনোর কান্না পায় এবং তারপর সে রেগে গজগজ করে বেলাডোনা জঙ্গলে কিন্তু সে কোন বাগানের ফুল নয় টাওয়ারে কোন কষ্ট নেই বেলাডোনা হাঁটছে বেলাডোনা নিয়ন্ত্রণ করছে তিনি আপনার জানালার বাক্স সম্পর্কে চিন্তা করেন না অথবা আপনার বোতামহোল তিনি একটি দীর্ঘ চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়ে সম্পর্কে একটি গান গেয়েছেন কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি

Gostaria de informações da versão de Money for Nothing. Onde foi gravada?

[@StraimanNunes]

A versão que está na coletânea MFN tem 90% da segunda noite em Paris (que não é essa) com alguns pedaços de outras versões da mesma turnê, ou Mark gravou vocais de alguns pequenos trechos no momento em que produzia essa faixa para adicionar na coletânea lançada em 1988, ocorre que há notáveis overdubs nessa faixa em específico e ouvindo as versões ao vivo, a versão que mais chega perto é a da segunda noite em Paris 1983.
