Dire Straits Live Performance of Brothers in Arms from Nimes, France

Venue: Arènes de Nîmes Location: Nîmes, Occitanie, France Date: September 29, 1992

During the live performance captured in "Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms [Live in Nîmes - 92]," which took place on September 29, 1992, the band was promoting their latest album, *On Every Street*. Released in 1991, this album marked Dire Straits' last studio effort and featured a blend of rock and pop sensibilities that fans loved. It was a noteworthy transition for the band, as they embraced a more polished sound, which echoed their earlier works while also lending a contemporary flair. Interestingly, *On Every Street* included tracks like "Calling Elvis," which showcased Mark Knopfler's signature storytelling through music. This live recording at the ancient Arènes de Nîmes highlights not just their musical prowess, but also the intimate atmosphere of that historic venue. Imagine the thrill of being part of that show—people singing along, the energy palpable! It was indeed a significant moment, marking the closing chapter of an iconic era in rock history.
