Dire Straits Telegraph Road (Live in 1983 in this instance)


The original with loooooooong fade and killer key change hidden in the fade is pretty damn good too, to be fair.

Just a bit of musicianship on display there….

It's as if Squire, Wren and Mani were just told to let rip for a bit.

That reminds me why I had such a major crush on Kim Wilde... Sigh. Great use of reverse reverb on there.

ELO's Mr Blue Sky has a great ending - a reprise with choir and strings.

Two of the Faces finest in Stay With Me & Pool Hall Richard complete most satisfactorily.

The former is such a well constructed thing building, accelerating mini drum round pause, to the rev limit and blam.
The latter for the broken glass.

The end of "Down in the Sewer" by The Stranglers is great. Sometimes better live, and sometimes not.



All of it's great, but the "end part" is from 5m24, it's in the link but it starts at the beginning anyway.
