Dire Straits became superstars with their 1985 album "Brothers in Arms." It went on to sell thirty million copies, making it one of the top 30 best selling albums of all time. After a long tour to support that album, band leader Mark Knoplfer was exhausted by all the pressures of stardom and took a few years off. Dire Straits came back with a studio album in late 1991, "On Every Street." It was a relative disappointment, selling "only" five million. But still, most musical acts would kill for those kinds of numbers.
Another big worldwide tour followed, lasting a full year, until October 1992. The BBC recorded them while they stopped by Britain. This album is unreleased, but the sound quality and performance is excellent. After the tour ended, the band broke up for good, except for a handful of reunion shows.
