Alchemy is an enhanced bluray recording of a Dire Straits concert before their mega-hit album Brothers in Arms was released. It's probably better than being at the venue. The sound is crisp and clear. The camera work shows the band members truly into the concert. With the electricity of a live audience, Alchemy produces the best versions of Romeo and Juliet, Private Investigations, Sultans of Swing, and Telegraph Road I've ever heard. You get to see and hear why Mark Knopfler is considered one of the best guitarists ever.
