Alchemy [dvd] : live
Dire Straits (Musical group)2010
DVDs and BluRay
"Alchemy was a double live album originally released 12th March 1984 with accompanying VHS. It debuted in the UK Top 3, and spent all but one week of its first seven months in the top 40 and went on, in the afterglow of Brothers In Arms to spend more than three years in the top 100. In Australia, the album reached the twenty-second position of the best selling albums of 1984. The strong Australian association does not stop there - the cover image is taken from a work by Brett Whiteley. This phenomenal sales history and critical acclaim has solidified Alchemy as one of the most revered live recordings of all time. Featuring the seminal hits Sultans Of Swing and Romeo and Juliet plus unique encore performances of the Ivor Novello Award-winning Going Home from the soundtrack to the film Local Hero. Demonstrating faultless musicianship, this is a true recording of excerpts of one Dire Straits performance, containing no re-recording or overdubs of any kind. The video has been painstakingly restored from the original film"--Distributor website.
