Dire Straits - San Francisco, CA 1979

Dire Straits at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, California, March 31, 1979.
They were on the Communiqué Tour which started in February 1979 in Rotterdam, four months before the album's release in June.
In this year Dire Straits played a total of 132 shows, on occasions two on the same day.
This combines at least two different sources and I believe it reflects the complete performance.

Dire Straits - London, 1985

From the Brothers in Arms world tour, Dire Straits at the Wembley Arena, London on the 10th of July 1985.
I'm using an image from an unofficial release to illustrate this post though this share's files are from The Long Strait Walk To Wembley. A version made by Enlight in 2014 that comprises various sources and is supposedly the most complete of this concert.
