1991
This video does not flow perfectly, mainly because of the music videos are cut out and no questions are asked. The quality isn't so nice so I sized it down to make it more watchable.
The MTV Dire Straits Special includes;
- Interviews with MK, J. Illsley, P. Franklin, C. Whitten
- Rehearsals of the OES tour

Mark Knopfler live from Shepherds Bush Empire, London 2002.07.23.
This is the first of four charity gigs, this one for Save the baby.

Danny Cummings - drums
Guy Fletcher - keyboard
Brendan Crocker - guitar
Steve Philips - guitar
Marcus Cliffe - bass
