Description
The most eagerly anticipated release from Dire Straits - Alchemy Live restored to pristine high definition visual clarity, remixed in PCM Uncompressed Stereo and Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - available on DVD and Blu-ray for the very first time.
Double live album originally released 12th March 1984 with accompanying VHS, debuted in the UK Top 3, spent all but one week of its first seven months in the top 40 and went on, in the afterglow of ‘Brothers In Arms’ to spend more than three years in the top 100. This phenomenal sales history and critical acclaim has solidified Alchemy as one of the most revered live recordings of all time.
Featuring the seminal hits ‘Sultans Of Swing’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ plus a unique encore performances of the Ivor Novello Award-winning ‘Going Home’ from the soundtrack to the film ‘Local Hero’. Demonstrating faultless musicianship, this is a true recording of excerpts of one dire straits performance, containing no re-recording or overdubs of any kind.
Video has been painstakingly restored from the original film by archive restoration specialist and acclaimed live concert director Dick Carruthers (Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison). Audio remixed by Chuck Ainlay, winner of the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Surround Sound Album for his surround production on ‘Brothers In Arms’.
Bonus features include 2 live TV performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test of ‘Sultans Of Swing’ and ‘Tunnel Of Love’. Plus a rare BBC Arena documentary including exclusive interviews with the band and rehearsal footage.

"Good, but didn't blow me away"
It was good but not amazing. The balance of the volume of instruments didn't seem right. But this may have been my speakers as the are a bit stuffed. Also it's not overdubbed or compressed so it does give you the true experience but that leaves room for mistakes.
"Brilliant performance by a brilliant band"
One of the most professional and original bands of the 80's with a knack of producing hit after hit. A definate “must have” for any avid collector and lover of fine music
