Competition closes at 5pm (BST) on Monday 17th May 2010.

Good news, a Dire Straits concert in Blu-Ray ! And that's the kind of competition that is just nice to participate to, even if there is very little hope to win anything. Who knows, maybe someday a National Style-O 14 frets will be winnable ahaha ;-)

Just saw Mark's concert in Montreal = fantastic ! Perfect Band and arrangements. Please, do not retire !!

Unfortunately I'll have to fix my PS3 (YLOD) first!!
Cheers.

Alchemy on DVD = Good!
Leaving out Love Over Gold = Bad :-(

What a shame this re-issue wasn't done properly. The footage exists and was used previously...

Don't get me wrong, I AM grateful it is finally coming out. It's just that now it has been done as a straight transfer(!), it probably won't ever be done again with extra material put (back) in.

Hello

I have tried to participate in the competition but the link does not work for me. Anybody else having this problem? If not, than it must be a local connectivity problem with my computer.

Thanks

Nice to be able to win a Strat. Even though the guitar Mark used in the concert was a Schecter!

The publication of this DVD is great! But the fender would be changed by a Schecter copy...

Anyway it would be great winning that candy apple red Fender Strat!

Hi unavol--lol, Thanks for your comments,sadly I can't play a note but as Mr Knopfler has been a hero of mine for years, it's going on the wall for all to see. I have some mates who play, so I look forward to hearing it being played properly.Don't worry, u tube won't be bombarded with an old woman playing Sultans of Swing  :)
