comments J.V.Tol:
DVD-Video containing parts of the famous Werchter concert from 1981. A really nice point of Dire Straits with interesting arrangements and a band full of energy. Good impression and good quality. As a little bonus, the Belgium news of 24th June 2001 is added. On this part, there is a small interview with Mark Knopfler and some images from the Navigation to Philadelphia tour.

comment Enlight:
Taken from a KRO(dutch) 1982 television broadcast (exact month/day of air and exact lineage unkown) Four camera's where used for capturing this show!

"private investigations insrumental"was just the outro of "Angel of Mercy"back then, funny it became the outro of the actual ""private investigations" released on the "Hump over Gold" album! Mark must have truly loved the "private investigation " melody,because he most used the same guitar intro riff from "private investigations" for the "fistfull of icecream" tune on the "comfort and joy" record.

"we've got no lights tonight.the lights are kaput( dutch/belgium for broken).....""
Mark says this because someone had thrown a bottle of beer into the lightmixer, after that the lights were only running at 10% of its capicity and just the white lights where working!!!**)

**) That besides what 20 sec appearing dutch language in the test tells you at the start of "Tunnel of passion" and that we get to thank the individual who had thrown that bottle of beer in the light mixer for the "romantic" view.

The incentive is gracious to watch , only the voice-over is dutch spoken and the transformation of Mark's speech is subtitled in dutch.
