First time played live.
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. The gig was in two parts, first part with Notting Hillbillies, and second part almost as a Dire Straits reunion, when Chris White join the band together with John Illsley. This was Johns first appearance on stage since the last Straits concert, back in October 9th 1992. This was also Danny Cummings first appearance on drums with Mark on stage, but as you maybe know, he played percussion during the -92 tour.
The band during first half;
Mark Knopfler - guitar, vocal
Danny Cummings - drums
Guy Fletcher - keyboard
Brendan Crocker - guitar, vocals
Steve Philips - guitar, vocals
Marcus Cliffe - bass
Bobby Valentino - violin")

On the evening of September 15, 1997, legendary British music producer George Martin (who had risen to prominence with the Beatles) held a benefit concert at Londons Royal Albert Hall for the small Caribbean island of Montserrat, which had recently been devastated by a volcanic eruption. All of the invited superstars had recorded some of their biggest hits at Montserrats Air Studios, which Martin had founded in 1970, and this shared history gives Music for Montserrat an added sense of enjoyment among friends. Despite a few vocal dropouts and forgivable mixing problems, this outstanding concert has been captured with impressive fidelity, and while each artist performs songs appropriate to the occasion, they share the stage (along with a house band, choir, and orchestra conducted by Martin) in brilliant combinations that bring out the best in everyone involved.
The show hits full stride with Mark Knopflers exquisite Brothers in Arms, which segues nicely into Money for Nothing with guest vocals by Sting, who then performs two hits from his Police years. And while Elton John and Eric Clapton form the centerpiece of the concert (especially Clapton and Knopflers acoustic Layla), by which time Music for Montserrat had given its royal audience a show they would never forget.
Enjoy!")
