I've been looking for this for-bloody-EVER
On DVD, anyway. To celebrate Nelson Mandela's birthday (back in the 1980s when he was still in prison), there was a huge concert in England that was called Freedom Fest. Here are a couple of clips from the best rock concert ever, and the band that closed the show: Dire Straits.
(Keep an eye out for their rhythm guitarist; he'll look familiar. He filled in because their normal guitarist's wife gave birth to twins that day. The substitute was the best they could do ... or could have done!)
A segment of The Sultans of Swing; there's very little singing, just guitar magic:
Here's the second-most romantic song ever, in my opinion, Wonderful Tonight:
And a hiccupy Romeo and Juliet, which is the MOST romantic song ever. It's worth the feedback and the hiccups to hear this saxophone solo:
Any time I have a reason to burn a CD for anyone, this song goes on the CD. (And my song doesn't hiccup.) I downloaded it from Kazaa or Audio Galaxy years ago, and I never get tired of it.
