Dire Straits

In 1990, when Dire Straits delivered their electrifying performance of "Money for Nothing" at Knebworth Park, they were riding high off the success of their acclaimed album, "Brothers in Arms," which had been released in 1985. This album not only catapulted them to international stardom but also introduced a fresh sound that blended rock with elements of jazz and pop, allowing them to resonate with a broad audience. Interestingly, "Brothers in Arms" was one of the first albums to be released on CD, highlighting the band's knack for innovation. By the time of the Knebworth gig, the group had solidified its status as a powerhouse in the rock scene, featuring the legendary Mark Knopfler on guitar. That night with Eric Clapton joining in added a unique flair, making it a memorable moment where two guitar greats shared the stage united by their love for music.
