Dire Straits
Dire Straits - Live in Newcastle Full Concert featuring notable covers
On October 9, 1989, Dire Straits graced the stage at Newcastle City Hall, and it marked a significant moment just ahead of their studio album *On Every Street*, which would drop in 1991. This live performance is especially notable as it likely represents one of the last occasions to see the band in action with drummer Terry Williams, who had been with them since the mid-'80s. It's intriguing to think that this concert would be the perfect blend of nostalgia and anticipation, as fans were buzzing about what *On Every Street* would bring. The setlist of the night even included a cover of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," showcasing their ability to blend rock traditions with their own sound. It's kind of like closing a chapter while simultaneously hinting at new adventures on the horizon, isn't it? For fans, that night in Newcastle holds a special charm, capturing a band at a pivotal and transformative time in their career.
