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.
