5.0 out of 5 stars Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing/Live in Germany (1999 remaster of 1979), March 30, 2011

This review is from: Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing / Live in Germany (Audio CD)

Loved the musical DVD of DIRE STRAITS:SULTANS OF SWING/LIVE IN GERMANY; listened to it many times. It has 3 audio settings to fit your player: Stereo, Dolby Digital and DST. It automatically uses DST unless you choose another audio option. I love this music.

However, I was confused about one thing: this DVD was labeled 1999, and has picture of an older Mark Knopfler on front, and I did not notice that it was the 1979 performance, remastered in 1999- I thought it was a 1999 performance. But I do think it has a better sound quality than 1979 original. Fun to compare. I highly recommend this DVD.

I ordered this DVD and original 1979 version of SULTANS OF SWING from Movie Mars, who are always reliable - I receive materials from them quickly and of excellent quality. Sometimes I have paid a few cents more to order from Movie Mars than another supplier.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is not an audio CD, it is a DVD..., January 15, 2012

My biggest problem with this is that it's listed on Amazon as an audio CD, but it's not! It's just the same DVD as the other "live In Germany" disc, but with a newer photo of Knopfler on the cover. I hoped to get a CD of this show to play in my car, which is why I bought both versions. The seller needs to be more careful about how things are listed.

Having said all that, this is a really good show, and worth getting if you're a Dire Straits fan, as the songs are from the early albums and most of them didn't get played in the band's concerts of the 80's and 90's. I thought the quality of the picture was fine considering it's from 1979. It's way better than how I've seen it in the past.

I'd recommend getting the other disc though, with the older photo of Knopfler on the cover. The disc contents are the same (right down to the menu), but the other DVD came with a small insert inside with additional information about the band.

I give the show 5 stars, but this particular offering of it is misleading, hence my 3 star rating.
