I used to have this album. But now I don't. I wonder what happened to it. I wonder if I lost it in the Great CD Case Loss of 2001. Hmm. Anyway, I really like this album and I know that Dire Straits aren't "cool" or whatever. But I like it!

This is a live version of this song, and I prefer to have the music video but that'll be increasingly rare as we get away from 8/1/81. This was recorded about 6 weeks before this chart came out. It's called the "2nd version" because, if the comments are to be believed, Knopfler messed up the 2nd guitar solo and decided he wanted to do the song again.
