Canada Movie Reviews of Mark Knopfler: A Night in LondonMovie Review: Why in earth the DVD is 3 StarsThis is one of Mark Knopfler's best performance ever, however, the DVD does not come with his performance of Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing, whereas these songs are included in the VHS version. I am a big Dire Straits fan and there are several of there songs that I prefer to Sultans of Swing, however, Mark Knopfler's performance of the sited song is just amazing. I haven't seen anything like it. So the big question is, why didn't they include Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing in the DVD? The DVD as a whole would get my 5 stars, I have taken 2 away for the frustration of knowing that one of the best guitar performance ever was not included!With that being said, I still think it is worth buying. Movie Review: Why, oh Lord?
Why in God's name would anyone release an edited version of an otherwise fabulous show? Especially when the two edited songs (read "missing completely") are arguably among Dire Straits' most celebrated works? Cut "sultans of Swing" and "Money for Nothing"? Are they nuts? Jesus, what a disappointment...I wish I hadn't sold my VHS copy a couple of years ago. The makers of this disc should be ashamed. |
