Title: "Money for nothing, chicks for free"
Product review: I'm not much of a rock fan. The only Dire Staits song I was familiar with was "Sultans of Swing'-- which is not on this CD. But I heard "Romeo and Juliet" on an airplane audio system and I liked it so I bought this CD.Wow! I was surprised. This is a great CD -- mellow and bluesy at times; rocking at others, with lots of great instrumentation -- horns, drums, piano, and guitar. I couldn't understand the words to any of the songs, but they sounded nice -- and if I missed the significance of any profound, life-altering lyrics, well, what the hell, I liked the music.I liked the crowd noise (some don't) on this live album which gives an immediacy to the music and I liked the long, loose interpretations of the songs -- some of which run to about 10 minutes. Dire Straits is a top notch band. I wished I had paid attention to them 20 years ago.
