Sultans of Swing: The Very Best Of Dire Straits (1999)

Dire Straits: Sultans Of Swing - The Very Best Of Dire Straits.

If you are a fan of Mark Knopfler and company, you will enjoy this compilation, featuring virtuoso guitarwork and a more intimate connection with the lyrics than a CD can provide. This film is essentially a collection of Dire Straits’ videos. The videos cover most of their greatest hits, such as Sultans of Swing, Money For Nothing, Walk of Life, Romeo and Juliet, and the Local Hero – Wild Theme. Lest fan despair that this is just a video rehash, the videos themselves contain portions of live concerts, studiowork, as well as some TV footage. It is a good reminder of how impressive a collection of songs Dire Straits produced.
