On July 10, 1985, Dire Straits performed live at Wembley Arena, showcasing their track "Tunnel of Love." This performance occurred during a peak period in the band's career, shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Brothers in Arms," which came out in May 1985. The album not only solidified their status as a major rock band but also included hits like "Money for Nothing" and "Walk of Life."
