Dire Straits - So Far Away Live Performance at Wembley

Venue: Wembley Arena Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: July 10, 1985

Back in July 1985, when Dire Straits rocked Wembley Arena, they were riding high on the success of their iconic album, *Brothers in Arms*. Released in May of that same year, this album not only solidified their place in the rock landscape but also became a cultural touchstone for the 80s. It showcased hits like "Money for Nothing" and "Walk of Life," bringing their sound to a global audience. Interestingly, *Brothers in Arms* was one of the first albums ever to be recorded, mixed, and released in digital format, which was quite groundbreaking at the time. During the live performance in London, the band's tight-knit sound resonated perfectly with the enthusiastic crowd, capturing a moment when they not only defined their career but also left an indelible mark on rock music history. It’s no wonder this era remains a fan favorite; the excitement of that concert still echoes in the hearts of those who experienced it.
