Brothers In Arms Known faults: due to a tape change, track 11 is incomplete. The Walt K. Master Series returns with Dire Straits, recorded live in Oakland, California in 1992. It features the clarity that typifies Walt’s recordings. He was like a tractor beam for sound waves — if you’ve heard his tapes of The Pretenders and Bruce Springsteen (both made in 1984) or Eric Clapton (from 1990), you're familiar with the high quality of his captures. Being a Grateful Dead enthusiast, Walt probably saw more shows at the Oakland Coliseum Arena than at any other venue, where the band gigged 66 times. As a result, he had a sense for where the better taping ticket was located, which pays a handsome dividend in this instance. Very little of the enthusiastic arena crowd bleeds into a rich, dynamic soundscape. While the 15-song set presents mainstays like “Walk of Life,” “Sultans of Swing,” and “Money For Nothing,” its “night two” variety should appeal to the more discerning Dire Straits fan. Mark Knopfler implied that his blues composition “I Think I Love You Too Much” (recorded in 1990 by Jeff Healey) didn’t get played often; “Planet of New Orleans” and “Fade to Black” fall into the lesser-played category for sure. On those, the band leaned in and the audience did, too. The 229-date tour behind “On Every Street” was the final one for Dire Straits. Whatever the vibe off stage, the band remained focused on the music. And what good fortune to have an amazing master tape to work with: my old pal BK handled the transfer and post-production. I followed up, removing scores of extraneous noises and applying fades. It plays beautfiully and we hope you enjoy it. Walt passed away in 2006. Always resourceful, he guided me into the world of the Grateful Dead and mapped out the fundamentals of jazz music. Later, we shared a great fondness for Pearl Jam. Whether imparting a life lesson or loaning me his D6 so I could record U2, Walt was a terrific friend and ally. His wife Helen survives him, and she graciously allowed me to share his work. Thank you, Helen. And as Walt himself said, share it freely, and for free! - slipkid68

Notes: One word: Wow! I put this on in the car and wanted to keep driving round the block so I didn't have to get out and break the amazing listening experience!! The etree setlist is totally off but this show is awesome. Knopfler's guitar is in incredible form, the drums just rip into you and the fabulous horns sound amazingly bright and lend a lovely feel to versions of old favorites. My mate Ed put it best by simply stating, "Knopfler is a God"!! This is a must have! It is on its way Ed!!
