Talk:Alchemy: Dire Straits Live

Co-Credits for Tunnel of Love
Rogers and Hammerstein wrote the concert intro Carousel Waltz. They did not contribute to Tunnel of Love. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.249.92.56 (talk • contribs) 22 November 2011‎


 * They didn't contribute directly, in the sense of working with Knopfler on the song, but the track "Tunnel of Love" does include a piece of music they created, and they are given credit for it in the track listing. — Paul A (talk) 02:04, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Date of recording
The Dire Straits page said this album was recorded over two nights in June 1983. Sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeimusu (talk • contribs) 22 August 2010


 * Liner notes of the '88 greatest hits release. It's common knowledge anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.97.70.30 (talk) 01:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Need better reviews
The only review on here contains the comments "There is an interesting contrast...between the music, much of which is slow and moody..." and that the crowd claps and sings along "as though each song were an up-tempo rocker". That's not Alchemy - six of the ten songs are definitely upbeat, most of those wildly so. (As an aside, all are clearly faster than their album versions, but that's not what's being reviewed.) I'll look around for more reviews (please not just Christgau yet again) but I'd say that review is very far from representative of the album and misleading as to the content.ToaneeM (talk) 16:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I completely agree with ToaneeM. "the music, much of which is slow and moody"... I sincerely believe the reviewer hasn't actually listened to the album. 193.40.25.254 (talk) 09:49, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

End of the show....
Does anyone know why the staff started to dismantle the stage whilst the band was still playing the last tunes of "Theme from Local Hero"? 2A01:41E1:44F1:1200:D536:F711:79D4:51F2 (talk) 23:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
