I mean, ok, this is a compilation album, and granted it's a compilation album of one of my favorite bands ever, but still, the albums these songs are on are much better.

Very happy to have this album be album of the day. I have this album on my top 10 despite it being a compilation because I love Dire Straits and it has most of their best songs played live in a very different way.
Any fan of Sultans of Swing must listen to the alternative version in this album.
Go Dire Straits!

NOT a compilation album...but a live album. And one of the best live albums ever. Knopfler shreds on this in a way that will make any aspiring guitar player want to give up.

Yep, of course it's a live album. I just meant that there are no new songs but this shouldn't mean it is a bad album at all because the songs sound very different.
