Making Movies - Dire Straits (1980)
Manage episode 336275513 series 3244045
Released nearly five years before their commercial blockbuster, Brothers in Arms, made them MTV superstars, 1980s Making Movies is considered by most critics and fans to be Dire Straits' true masterpiece. Though it contains only seven tracks, each of them tell a spectacular tale (from star-crossed lovers, to a sultry girl on roller skates, to the leather-clad homosexual Berlin underground from days of yore) and are expertly crafted and perfectly played and by the great Mark Knopfler and company (featuring the E Street Band's Roy Bittan on piano and keyboards).
On the 40th anniversary of its release, Jon and Chris take a look at this landmark album from a legendary group.
