Alchemy (live) [VINYL]

Product Information

An exquisite live recording, that works perfectly for both keen fans and new listeners and set the bar high for any live recording since. Die Musikjournalisten Christian Graf und Burghard Rausch schrieben über "Alchemy" von den Dire Straits: "Das Live-Spektakel beinhaltete zwar viele gute Gitarren-Exkursionen, aber im Kontext wirkte es überproduziert, glatt und zu perfekt" (Rockmusik Lexikon Europa, Band 1, Frankfurt am Main 1996, S. Alan Clark’s keyboards help to fill out the sound and give Knopfler’s spare melodies a certain majesty, but Dire Straits remains an overgrown bar band with a Bob Dylan fixation, and that’s exactly how the crowd likes it.

Wer die tollen Nummern vom Debütalbum in Live-Versionen hören will, muss zum beeindruckenden "Live at the BBC" (1995) greifen. Alchemy: Dire Straits Live was remastered and reissued with the rest of the Dire Straits catalogue in 1996 for most of the world outside the United States and was remastered and re-released in the USA on 8 May 2001.

Kotiinkuljetuksesta perimme rahulia 3,99€ pienemmistä lähetyksistä (lähinnä cd:t) ja isoimmista vermeistä eli vinyyleistä, huppareista yms 5,99€. Von "Communique" (1979) und dem selbstbetitelten Erstlingswerk offerieren Knopfler und Konsorten nur jeweils einen Song. Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road being my most fav's rock guitaring at it's best - great for Christmas for beginner guitarists (humour).Alchemy brought them into our suburban Surrey living room, songs about Newcastle and Telegraph Roads. The reworking of most of their songs, with exquisite keyboards and lengthy guitar solos, blends them together in such a way, that anybody can see the lines joining the dots and the whole picture. The video of the show is of the highest quality as well, and perhaps it gives a more accurate picture of the band and tracks, since it didn't have the limitations of vinyl or CD, time wise.

Für größere instrumentale Vielfalt sorgten schließlich noch der renommierte Saxophonist Mel Collins und Percussionist Joop de Korte. That said, this is an excellent live album and the performances are infinitely superior to the live (though not very a-live) tracks that came bundled at the end of a so-so 'greatest hits' type release a few years ago (I think it the 'Sultans of Swing' compilation). For the concert's end, the band plays magnificently, the theme from the film "Local hero", a Mark Knopfler penned soundtrack, with the appropriate title: "Going home".VG+ (Very Good Plus): This record has clearly been played before, but has only a moderate reduction in sound quality, despite a possible slight loss of shine and some surface marks.

Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. That Dire Straits’ introspective music loses much of its detail in a live setting matters less than that it gains presence and a sense of anticipation. com (also known as Esprit) has been the world's biggest and best seller of premium quality and top condition rare and vintage vinyl records, rare CD's and music memorabilia since 1985 - that's 39 years!No VHS Hi-Fi (to be fair, it was brand new when the tape was released), so you're stuck with linear stereo. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Ruhlmann concludes, "The CD version of the album contains one extra track, "Love Over Gold," which adds a needed change of pace to the otherwise slow-moving first disc. It's one of those live albums that was edited down from a much longer concert, or even concerts, and feels a bit short.
