The Dire Straits Rock Gala (With Pete Townshend)

Format/Rating/Source: LP - B - Audience

Date/Location/Venue: 07/04/85 - London, UK - Wembley Arena

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1985 - UK - Vortex

Comments: Triple LP. Pete Townshend plays on (2) two songs (see below) with Dire Straits at the 1985 Prince's Trust Rock Gala. Not quite sure where Pete begins and Dire Straits ends. The opening of "Solid Rock" sounds like "I Want That Thing" from Psychoderelict.

Track Listing (Pete Townshend Tracks): Solid Rock, Going Home

Sound Samples:

Solid Rock   Thank You Pete Townshend   Going Home

Wembley Stadium London - 13 07 1985

Format/Rating/Source:  CD - B - Audience & Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 07/13/85 - London, UK - Wembley Arena

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2021 - UK - n/a

Comments: The historic Live Aid concert which every Who fan sat in front of their TV for hours to see this reunion (only to have the power go out in the middle of the performance). This CD seems to borrow from both audience and soundboard sources.

Track Listing: JFK introduction, Wembley introduction, My Generation (partial), Pinball Wizard, Love Reign O'er Me, Won't Get Fooled Again

Sound Samples:

My Generation   Pinball Wizard   Love Reign O'er Me   Won't Get Fooled Again 

The Brixton England Concert

Format/Rating/Source: CD - A - Soundboard & Audience

Date/Location/Venue: 11/01-11/02/85 - London, UK - Brixton Academy

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2002 - USA - JBP

Comments: Finally - someone did <most of> this concert right. Until now, all of the CD bootlegs of this show were fair quality dubs off of the WW1 or King Biscuit radio broadcasts (vs. a dub off of one of the commercial video formats or promo vinyl/CDs). The majority of this boot is an excellent sounding dub off of the Japanese laser disc (which is also where the cover art came from). Unfortunately, the rest of the boot (from the concert) is from an audience source. Clear sound, but paling compared to the laser dub. Lastly, there is the 12" vinyl extended mix of "Face The Face", which is the same as the video for that song.

Track Listing: Soundboard: Won't Get Fooled Again, A Little Is Enough,  Second Hand Love, Behind Blue Eyes, Barefootin', After The Fire, Love On The Air, I Put A Spell On You, I'm One, Magic Bus, Save It For Later, Eyesight To The Blind, Walking, Stop Hurting People, The Sea Refuses No River, Face The Face, Pinball Wizard, Give Blood
Audience: That's Alright Mama, The Shout, Harlem Shuffle, Boogie Stop Shuffle, Night Train

This show was also broadcast live (and the <soundboard> broadcast had better sound quality).
