Dire Straits / Tunnel of Love (Full) / Live Wembley Arena 1985 [HD]

I love the intro to this live version. Knopfler is one of the greatest ever. You’ll never mistake his playing on other people’s songs either.

I wonder if that crowd that night understood they were witnessing a truly epic performance.

[@waybrighter]

16 minutes of pure heaven. they don't make music like this anymore.

[@TheWeatherWhisperer]

In 2025, it will be 40 years since this brilliant performance happened. It feels like yesterday, but alas, for those of us who saw this in 1985, time is no longer on our side. Perhaps that is why this performance is so poignant for us. But, who would have thought we would have had new music from Knopfler in 2024? Take the blessings where and when you can get them. Thank you Mark for being the soundtrack to my life.

[@wildscorpion73]

مقدمة تدوم لثلاث دقائق في شطرين وتتفوق رغم بساطتها على سائر مراحل الأغنية كما تفوقت مقدمة ابن خلدون على كتابها: العرب والعجم والبربر، ومن عاصرهم من ذوي السلطان الأكبر. سيبقى Mark Knopfler حيث هو وحيث كان، متربعا على عرش النغمات والكلمات وتناغم الآلات والصوت الهادئ والسلاسة في الأداء. لذا ستبقى أغانيه ضاربة في مسافات الأرض والسماء، همزةً واصلة بين الغرب والشرق، بين الأجداد والأبناء والأحفاد، تحمل رسائل التواصل وثقافة الود والاحترام.

I love this song, back in the 1980s in the UK this was broadcast on terrestrial TV. I had the VHS recording for years but like castles made of sand, it went to sea eventually. This is one reason I love KZbin these classics resurface and hopefully forever. I have seen many versions of this 1985 Wembley concert now and I think this version is the best. There is normally a small tracking issue in the solo but this was flawless. Thanks for sharing :)
