She's a film director now in Tunisia (not sure where the smudges on her face come from)

She still looks good at nearly 60

Mark Knopfler is a wonderful storytelling lyricist. And some people criticize his voice, but I think it fits the songs perfectly.

A little tear, if you please.

Beautiful and sad.

Well, a toast to her.

Side 1 of Love Over Gold, is the absolute peak for me

Side 2, not so much.

I have a sick, twisted love for Industrial Disease. It's pure joy to me.

great sense of variety in the way this thing is sequenced

[soundchaser]

A nice bit of Springsteen inspiration...just like The Boomtown Rats.

[kath]

such a fluid feel, building up, building down... toro toro taxi

[soundchaser]

Oh, I've got to turn the record over in a minute.

Very old school. Two of my sons are into making movies.

Great sound and production, of course.

The band are so tight!

Making movies - on location


Great robust stuff!

[Carlsson]

All night long

A stunningly well produced album

Slipping and a sliding

I would like to see them do one last tour... never got to see them back in the day. But I don't think Mark is interested, and if he's happy doing what he's doing good for him.
