Dire Straits

Dire Straits was riding high in their career during the live recording of "Solid Rock" on August 30, 1990, at Knebworth. Just a couple of years prior, in 1988, they released the album *Money for Nothing*, which not only showcased their iconic sound but also catapulted them into the international spotlight, thanks in part to the groundbreaking music video that played repeatedly on MTV. This album featured hits like "So Far Away" and the unforgettable title track, entwining their legacy with the 80s rock scene. By the time of the Knebworth concert, Dire Straits had already earned several Grammy Awards and was known for their stellar live performances. It's fascinating to think about the energy in the air that day, with not only Dire Straits but also legends like Eric Clapton sharing the stage. It's a celebration of rock that resonates even today, and hey, who wouldn’t want to witness that iconic collaboration firsthand?
