The first time I heard 'Alchemy' by Dire Straits on cassette tape, many years ago, it was a life-changing musical moment.
This live performance, recorded and then released with no overdubs, introduced me to the work of Dire Straits and the melodic guitar playing of Mark Knopfler in particular. It's an unforgettable concert, one which left an indelible mark on me as a teenage music listener and is arguably one of the great live albums.
