Dire Straits - News (Rockpop In Concert, 19th Dec 1980)

[@denise0223]

Been a wicked fan of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler for 45 years!! Not a day goes by that I'm not listening to his music and at times, attempting to play along! I know most of the chords 😉 Their music never fails to lift me up and make me smile! 🎉🎉❤❤🥰 ☮️❤️🙏🏽

Private investigations in that time was in the outro of news. In every moment Mark always create new music. Incredible musician.

Yep. Great stuff. It's a diminished arpeggio 👍

Guys, FFS, release a live album with these quality recordings. Fans will love it, you'll make a ton shit of money, everybody wins.

Good morning and thank you, a beautiful way to stay together. My heart is already beating fast with emotion.

[@carolineburns1816]

I'm looking forward to seeing this. Dire Straits are my first favourite band closely followed by Coldplay. I grew up listening to Dire straits, Mark Knopfler is, in my humble opinion, the best guitar player in the world and what a lovely tribute to John Lennon.

[@daydreamer8469]

It goes without saying that they are Out of this world. But the thing is why do I find Mark Knopfler incredibly good looking!!?? Coz of his voice? Or his fingers moving on guitar??!! It indeed feels like a million dollars whenever I watch them on screen.

Only because you're female and know he's rich and a celebrity. If he was a nobody in a bar or on a dating site you'd complain he's balding young and wouldn't care about the exact same songs he recorded at home on a four track.

Pick Withers is such an amazing drummer 🥁

[@mechantchien]

Best drummer Dire Straits ever had imo

[@SkifflerRecordings]

I never really realised how good until he left, the sound was different and for me never as good.

[@davidwinthrop7077]

@@SkifflerRecordings I agree as even though I have the greatest respect for Picks replacement Terry Williams and his drumming, the feel and dynamics that Picks playing always had were always missing after he left the band.

[@pabloperez4063]

The day he left, DS were never the same again (AFAIAC)

[@deanallen927]

I miss his playing on later DS albums. Mark wasn't the whole band by himself. Cheesy keyboard sounds.

[@timshearer5092]

Pretty crazy that Private Investigations grew out of the outro of News.

[@jorgemlcosta]

I learned that 40 yrs after it happened! Incredible. A band that always gave something more going live, being the best example “So Far Away” Sidney ‘86.

[@davidharding200]

Really?

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

This was dedicated to John Lennon, who had been murdered the day before.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

@@RideAcrossTheRiverI do not think he was murdered a day before as he was killed December 8th, and this was the 19th. This arrangement and performance was dedicated to him.

[@Loetloet1950]

Best live performance of this record ever!! Love the Hammond sound of Alan Clark on the background

Just like others, I think this is the base of the later Private Investigations (1982)... News live is great to hear, joy for the ears!

Décidément, vraiment je reviens souvent écouter et voir cette vidéo. Pour ce truc fulgurant, 02:20, une succession d'effets de pure musique, où les attentes, les notes, et les silences sont si émouvants et maîtrisés. Mark Knopfler, tu fais de la belle musique. Et et les musiciens, les images et Pick Whithers qu'on aime retrouver, pour sa liberté et ses attitudes. Mark Knopfler tu fais toujours de la bonne musique. Alors je prends moi, la peine d'écrire tous mes commentaires avec des mots. Anne-Marie de Laval, France.

[@henryvanderzwan9134]

Actually this song is one of my earliest memories of Dire Straits besides hearing the first album being played over and over on holiday in Denmark in 78. Dire Straits performed on June 14 1981 in the Jaap Edenhal in Amsterdam. This song was also on the setlist that night. The part of the drums @4.00 minute mark always stuck in my mind. I was 13 years old at the time and went with my older brother who was a massive Dire Straits fan. I even got the tour t-shirt haha. Great!

I think the arrangement of this song later became “private investigations”

[@julienmarquet8612]

You're right, it sounds, exactly, like another song, at the beginning, but, i don't think it's "Private investigation"....You're talking about the end, but, it's a Medley! They're playing "Private invastigation", at the end....In my opinion it's the beginning which sounds like another song😂

[@simongrech2268]

Yes 👍

[@nancyholm2160]

@@julienmarquet8612 News was a song on the Communique album. The album version as well as live performances before 1980 ended with a short Pick Withers drum solo. The outro, which extends Pick’s solo and adds the motif that later makes up Private Investgations was added for the Making Movies tour after keyboardist Alan Clark joined the band. I don’t know if Private Investgations would have been a completed song at this point but it’s clear Mark had it in mind for a while as this is about two years before Love Over Gold was recorded.

Not sure why he dedicated this one to Lennon. The lyrics seem to be about a motorcycle rider or someone who engage in risky activities for the rush or adrenaline that come with them.
