Additional comments:.... one of the most powerful recordings in 1979.

Great versions.

There are a couple of very rare songs in this setlist (back then):

-Portobello belle
-Solid rock (really rare for 1979!)
-Setting me up (rarely performed live)
-and Twisting by the pool.

Also a very nice bridge between Angel of mercy and Solid rock.

Very cool version of Southbound again.

The atmosphere is terrific on this concert, a must to have!

Complete concert.

A Remastered concert by Enlight, from a very well transfer (2009) by LTB
(so this not a "sultans of cologne" upgrade!!!)


Some how did Enlight do this info:

All tracks are volume-normalized separate, using an adaptive mode ( no peak to peak or replaygain is used)! Clicks,crackle's/clips has been removed slightly for the cleaning part. Stereo has been vitalized with 15-20 % max., right and left channels has been balanced .Loudness is dynamic prozessed in a soft mode, some eq change are carefully made, this make's the sound more "CLEAR" and closer to "SOUNDBOARD . this make's an improved sound and gives more room too the seperate instruments . I've used LTB's 2009 transfer (2009)
Nothing has been edit/add-out/in from the original source, for tapers respect (no taper-no upgrade)




For those who don't care about all the info above............

A great sounding and completely new improved listen experience!!  HAVE FUN WITH THIS UPGRADE!! which i gave the title : "A FOUNTAIN GUSHING AUDACITY 1979"**   to avoid any mix up with excisting boots!




** For the title i've to thanks a person (Alden) from who i received a comment in an earlier stage,

Quote:
"Wowww...
A record of the best period of Dire Straits, in my opinion.
At the time when Knopfler was a fountain gushing audacity.
.......thx Enlight"
End quote.

i loved that phrase , so the title was born!
 
Have fun with this remastered version...........Enjoy!!!

Cover-art, flaclog, MD included
