    Hi all, I have a difficult request: some years ago I heard a cassette with a Dire Straits concert (not official released). This concert was from the Brothers In Arms period or at best from the "Money For Nothing" album period but surely not from the "On Every Street" one. In this concert, Dire Straits played a nice verion of "So far away" that started in a hawaiian style (played with an horitzontal lap steel guitar) that makes it impossible to recognize until the song turned into the classical version. I know, that it's very difficult to find, but I'm looking for this version. Do you know any information related (concert place,...)? thanks in advance, Marc Soleda

    ... she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this... Dire Straits

      I've found that file sharing sites are a great place to find unofficial stuff like that.

      Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

        Thanks for the advise Chris. This kind of request is not easy to find and only if you are a fan (and I know that there are some in Codeproject) you can know this. I'm trying it also in fan sites. Marc Soleda.

            Found it that site !!! Thanks. The version is called "Calypso" and it was played in the 1986 in the Australia concerts. Marc.
