Limited Edition 5CD Box Set!

Superb 5CD set of live radio performances recorded between 1979 and 1992, providing a fine example of this legendary band!

Formed in London in 1977 by Mark Knopfler, his brother David Knopfler, John Illsley and Pick Withers, Dire Straits were active from 1977 to 1988, and again from 1991 to 1995. The band remain of the world's best-selling music artists, with album sales of over 100 million. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

This fantastic 5CD set celebrates the huge success and popularity of Dire Straits, which still resonates today; but as the band - or at least its erstwhile leader – appear to have ruled out any chance of a reunion, this live collection goes some way to allow fans the chance of re-living the magic that was Dire Straits in concert.

Featuring the tracks 'Sultans Of Swing', 'Money For Nothing', 'Romeo And Juliet', 'Tunnel Of Love', 'Private Investigations', 'Walk Of life', 'So Far Away', 'Industrial Disease', 'Southbound Again', 'Brothers In Arms' and many more.
