In 1985, Dire Straits embarked on a world tour of unprecedented proportions. Promoting their hit album Brothers in Arms, the tour included a thirteen-night residence at Wembley Arena (featuring Eric Clapton helping out) and a brief jaunt at Live Aid (featuring Sting), before winding up in Australia in the Spring of 86. They ended with a 21-night stand at Sydney's Entertainment Center, packing the place every night, and wrapping it all up with one final show on April 26th. Featuring the one-off calypso version of "So Far Away" and an impromtu version of the Australian folk anthem "Walktzing Matilda" (with the whole stadium providing the vocals), it is truly a show for the ages. This show represents a band at their very finest, a band that has perfected the art of transitioning from structured verse/chorus parts to solos and back, bringing the audience along on an emotional and gorgeous journey for each and every song.

Live Aid (en español, ayuda en directo) fueron dos conciertos organizados por el líder y vocalista de la banda de rock The Boomtown Rats Bob Geldof, y el líder y vocalista de la banda de pop Ultravox Midge Ure, realizados el 13 de julio de 1985 de forma simultánea en el Estadio Wembley de Londres (Reino Unido) y en el John F. Kennedy Stadium de Filadelfia (Estados Unidos), con el motivo de recaudar fondos en beneficio de Etiopía y Somalia. Pocos meses antes, artistas principalmente británicos, publicaron la canción "Do They Know It's Christmas?" con los mismos fines, de igual forma los músicos estadounidenses colaboraron con la canción "We Are The World", para recaudar fondos.

Es la primera vez que se publica en Blu-ray aquel concierto de 1983 en el Hammersmith Odeon londinense, grabación de la que se vendieron 38 millones de copias. Esta edición contiene el concierto original restaurado en alta definición y sonido 5.1, más dos actuaciones en televisión. La calidad de imagen no está a la altura de las grabaciones modernas de Blu-ray, ya que este concierto se grabó en película de 16mm en 1983, momento en que el mejor formato de vídeo casero era el LaserDisc y tenía menos resolución que los DVDs de hoy en día. En lo que todo el mundo está de acuerdo es que la ejecución y la mezcla de sonido son soberbios.

Organized by Paul McCartney and the United Nations, these concerts were in response to the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge’s reign, where three million persons perished in Cambodia. During the concerts, McCartney brought three generations of popular musicians together. The older generation included McCartney and the Wings, The Who and members of Procol Harum. The middle generation was represented by Queen and members of Led Zeppelin. Most notably, there was the new generation of mainly New Wavers and Punk Rockers, such as The Pretenders, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Clash, and The Specials.

Rockpile recorded their installment of the German TV show Rockpalast in January 1980, a few months before the appearance of their lone LP, Seconds of Pleasure, but at that point, the quartet were a fixture on the new wave scene, touring constantly and appearing on solo LPs by their co-leaders Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. All this is a roundabout way of saying that Rockpile wasn't hurting for material: they drew heavily upon Edmunds' solo records in particular -- 13 of the songs on this 17-song setlist appeared on one of Dave's LPs -- interspersing a few rock & roll oldies along with songs from Nick, plus a showcase for Billy Bremner

This documentary follows the recording process, circa 1978-1979, of Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds & Rockpile. It gives great insight into the process of recording and "getting" the right sound for radio. If you've never had any studio experience before, this video will give you that fly on the wall experience. Cameos by Graham Parker, Albert Lee and Huey Lewis.
