Dire Straits
Dire Straits Live Performance of On Every Street in Basel
Ah, Dire Straits! By the time the band took the stage in Hobart, Australia, on November 30, 1991, they were right in the groove of promoting their latest album, *On Every Street*. Released earlier that year, it marked a significant point in their career as it was their last studio album before the band initially disbanded in 1995. This album, with its blend of rock and their signature storytelling style, showcased hits like "Calling Elvis" and "Heavy Fuel." Interestingly, *On Every Street* didn’t soar quite like their earlier masterpieces, such as *Brothers in Arms*, but it did still capture the essence of what fans loved about Dire Straits. When they performed live, especially during that '92 concert in Basel, Mark Knopfler's masterful guitar work and soulful lyrics echoed deeply with the audience, reminding everyone why they fell in love with the band in the first place. It's a real testament to staying power, don’t you think?
