Walk Of Life (On The Night / Live In Rotterdam, Netherlands / 31st May 1992)

Clip from live concert shot at Les Arenes, Nimes, France and Feijenoord Stadium, Rotterdam - May 1992

[@KennySmith_AKA_JerseyKid]

I was born in 1960. A really great year because I heard music from the 1920s and have enjoyed good music my entire life. Imagine being in my shoes as I lived through each decade. I’m thankful for still having my brain cells to remember what I’ve experienced. I’ve been to concerts where there was nothing but pure love. No devices like cellphones or cameras. Sure we don’t have physical evidence of our experiences but we do have those memories in our hearts and our souls

[@gijzje]

same to me 🙂

[@eva-mariasix8798]

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

When Mark Knopfler says someone's the best player in the world it means something.

[@Inge.Borthne]

The solo fits perfectly with the song. I think Mark Knopfler chose the right person who could play it too. Paul Franklin is a generous of putting the finest tunes to the songs on the live album, and in my opinion I think the whole band had a great time on the tour that was Dire Straits last tour ever.

[@BlacktulipSF]

the steel guitar player moved this song to a higher level

A Te, lumachina. Ovunque Tu abbia deciso di fuggire… senza darmi un addio. Sarai per sempre l’incipit di Vita Nova. Anche se ho sofferto parecchio… ti mando un forte abbraccio. Non sapevo che nella vita si potessero provare dei dolori così immensi da farti sentire i brividi in ogni singola vena. Non posso provare odio. Solo tanta compassione. Che amarezza… Mi manchi come il primo giorno, quando ebbi la fortuna di farti entrare nella mia vita. Te lo dissi… “abbiamo fatto la cosa più difficile al mondo: trovarci tra milioni di persone. Ora facciamo la più semplice: cerchiamo di non perderci”. Eppure sei fuggita… 😨 Andrea
