Customer Reviews

Won't be bettered
I've had this album SOME years now, to find it's still available is great news. Backed up the album, and bought the VHS tape of the show.
WHY oh WHY, can I not get it on DVD? I don't want to lose it to equipment outdating. How much does it cost to convert tape to DVD, and will it let me?

THIS is THE definitive Dire Straits. Forget all the other albums, start with this, and then find other albums with less repeats on them.
Dire Straits greatest annoyance, is repeating many tracks, on many albums. Chances are you will end up with some tracks several times.

ALCHEMY will have your favourite version of any track that's on it though, GUARANTEED!

One of the best albums in the world. Where's the DVD !!!!

Alchemy Live
This live concert was first recorded back in 1982.
I own it on video, but for some reason it was NEVER released on DVD.
This concert gripped most of Europe in the mid 80's and I can remember camping in Spain around that time. All the campers in Cypsyla (Costa Brava) seem to have a copy of the concert on their audio cassettes and it could be heard around the campsite, day and night!!!
I recently purchased the now availlable CD for my EX (Xmas present) who was addicted to Dire Straits at the time.....I think the CD is a must for you Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) fans.
A brilliant concert....GET IT NOW!!

Love over everything !
There is no denying, I adore this album, Dire Straits were a great band, but like so many bands they go down hill after a while, but thats another story !

There is no other track like Telegraph Road, to write a song about such a subject, then inject it with brilliant guitar riffs, and some great keyboard tunes, is just simply magic.

MK simply is a genius when it comes to music, and this album certainly does not dispoint. Its a shame the It Never Rains was not on the album live, but you can't have it all.
