Dire Straits' fifth studio album, 'Brothers In Arms' - released in May 1985 - was a phenomenal success that broke the charts around the world by selling a total of nine million copies. The world tour that followed was equally sensational in terms of tickets sold (over two and a half million, distributed over 248 shows held in a hundred different cities) and had its worthy conclusion on April 26, 1986 at Sydney Entertainment. Center at the end of a 'residency' of 21 evenings (record still unbeaten). An extraordinary epilogue, documented on this unauthorized double CD and taken from the radio broadcast of the time: it is an exciting almost eleven-minute version of 'Ride Across The River' to open a show in which the new songs ('Why Worry' , 'Your Latest Trick', the title track and mega hits' Walk Of Life 'and' Money For Nothing ') alternate with classics such as' Romeo And Juliet', 'Private Investigations',' Sultans Of Swing ',' Tunnel Of Love 'and' Solid Rock 'and the traditional Australian' Waltzing Matilda ', before the credits roll on' Going Home '(main theme of the' Local Hero 'soundtrack). It's a short interview with Mark Knopfler, leader of a band that then included John Illsey (bass and backing vocals), Alan Clark (keyboards), Guy Fletcher (keyboards and backing vocals) and Terry Williams (drums) with the addition of Jack Sonni. (guitar and backing vocals) and Chris White (saxophone and transverse flute), to close the program after a show that combines 'stadium rock' at the highest level with wisdom and musical taste rare in events of this magnitude
