Should we really have missed the 25th anniversary of this great last Dire Straits album? The one that will always be underrated (because it cannot be rated high enough from my point of view), the first one I was eagerly awaiting as the fan that I had become in early 1985 shortly after the Brothers In Arms release. These days around September 1991 brought s lot of Radio and TV promo and my anticipation was nothing short of totally insane. I remember those great days with much warmth and love. No album ever since has been awaited with more craziness and impatience than this one.
Next week will mark my first Dire Straits concert ever, 25 years ago. Great memories! Will give the album a complete spin tonight.

I remember that day very clearly. I had waited six years, very patiently and could hardly restrain my excitement as I went into town to buy the album.
When I returned home, my husband was painting the front door, a nice shade of Oxford blue and I played the album so loud that I'm sure the whole street would have heard it through the open front door! Strange the things that stick in one's memory. :)
-
I also remember that day clearly. A couple of years before (1989) I also remember , that I was in shok because I heart the first songs of Mark with the NHB , and the dj said these words on the radio: " and now will hear new songs of Mark Knopfler with his new band ... " . And I thought : WTF !!!! a new band ??? and what about dire straits ?? I thought I could never see on stage the band, because when they came to Barcelona in 1985 I was 14 years old and my mother said to me that only in my dreams could enjoy a Dire Straits show... Fortunately in 1991 the band published On every street and the 10th september I went to the main record shops’ street in Barcelona to buy the album. In every record shop you went into, you listen on every street from speakers. It’s a very good memory.
-
I remember my brother coming home with the CD. He said "the first song sucks but the rest of it is brilliant". I grabbed that and couldn't help going through the entire album I don't know how many times. I also remember that there was a Philips TV advertising being aired all day long featuring Calling Elvis and The Bug if I'm not mistaken. Good times.
-
Great memories!!! Unfortunately, I was living under a rock at the time. ::)
Hoping to hear more wonderful memories form AMITers. :D
-
The Calling Elvis Single had Iron Hand and Millionare Blues as bonus-tracks. Imagine that. I remember it had some global kind of promotion with a 2-hour-radio-show that had a famous American speaking voice and contained parts of 8 or 10 of the songs. That was broadcasted a couple of days before release and was SO exiting...

I have very clear memories of this release and for pretty much the same reasons as LE. Looking through the papers, the magazines and in touch with local media channels was really the only way back then to find out when releases were upcoming. I wasn't a member of DSIS since I never knew of its existence.
So the band were playing Birmingham NEC on the OES tour for four nights. On one of those the album was released. I bought mine from Woolworths, a store now out of business. They gave away a free badge with every album which has the 'crossed feet' logo on it, which I still have. After having the album only a couple of days it was time for my concert at the SECC in Glasgow.
It was Friday the 13th of September. No superstitions! I wasn't overly familiar with all of the new songs because I only had the album a few days and it was a school week but I did get ToL and PONO which was a favourite from the start.

I remember buying that and being a little underwhelmed at the time. I can't recall where I bought it but I stopped off at my Aunts on the way home and played it first on her CD player!
-
I bought the cassette apart from the CD, to have a first listening in the car (hadn´t cd player in the car at that time) during my 55 km journey to home.
I also bought a second CD at the same time for a friend. So I went out the records shop with 3 legal copys of the same album.
-
I remember it as it it was yesterday ! I was then a student, the first year as an independent grown-up without my parents... My roommate and I, both fans of fire straits, had eagerly waited for the release. For him it was a disappointment, he did not like the country feel of it, and wanted to return the CD ! For me it was love at first sight. I did not like much some country songs like When it comes to you, but I fell in love so much with the title track, IH and PONO, and even CE, that this more than made up for it. The title track is associated with fond memories from my youth, it is very special to me. The following year I attended my first (and last) DS concert ever, in Lyon... Will never forget it, although I started the concert at the front row (8 hours of queuing...) and ended up in the last row... People at the time were so pushy and aggressive that I could not breathe any more !
-
The record that started my obsession, with MK and music in general. After making my way through the DS back catalogue MK brought me, via Chet and the NHB onto a whole pile of country and blues. OES genuinely changed my life.

one of my favourte OES shows.

OES was not my first love (MM was) but boy did i look forward to it. i vividly remember being at some family party and forcing everyone to listen to the videoclip world premiere of CE (which everyone liked i remember)
after that, i did not really like the album. it is only of late that i have come to really appreciate it. my favourite track is How long. when i play the cd in my car (for weeks on end) i tend to have how long on endless repeat...
-
I was at the camping and a Spanish radio station (Cadena 100) aired "Calling Elvis" and it was a choc for me, I mean the sound of the album was mindblowing and especially, the sound of the Pensa Shur, wow. I didn't like the sound of the Pedal Steel at the beginning but it became clear that the whole album atmosphere was painted with that incredible instrument thanks to Maestro Paul Franklin.
it took me about a month to really appreciate the album, the highlights were "Calling Elvis, When it comes to you, Heavy fuel, You and your friend and the masterpiece Planet of new Orleans.
at that time, I felt that it was the end of the Straits and that OES was a transition album to the solo career. 5 stars Album.

I was 1 year old when "On Every Street" came out. I can't remember much, but I remember I was smiling a lot on that day :lol

Cool! I vividly remember PONO being a highlight and goosebumps moment. Oh, and also giving a lift home to the son and daughter of my then English teacher. The next week he asked me if I enjoyed the show and of course DS weren't cool so I just said "it was alright!" :lol
-
And maybe you can't imagine it today but I did not know a thing about the set list and also not about that cool curtain effekt at the beginning. That moment when it "exploded" away and Mark stood there in the light, grinning, was almost too much! And boy did they sound great!

When I was first exploring the DS albums I didn't care for several of the tracks on OES. Then I got a hold of the Japanese SHM version a while back which has a different mastering from both the original release as well as the remaster and I heard it differently. I now think it's a very underrated album and contains some of MK's best guitar work, particularly in songs like How Long or When it Comes to You. I think it's great that MK did something different with the follow up to BiA instead of just releasing a bunch of reworked BiA B-sides.

I heard a rumour that after pioneering the CD technology, Mark needed to do something else, something special next time. So, in conjunction with Philips he decided to create a perfect song for the "Loop" button on CD-players, and this is like "How Long" was actually born. True story!
Also, I heard a rumour that this song became the first song to reach 1,000,000 loops by a single human being. And I can perfectly understand him!
-
I was on holiday in southern France when the album came out. (I was already very familiar with 'Calling Elvis' which had come out as a single a couple of weeks before.) So I bought the album in a shop in Carcassonne. I remember listening to 'You and Your Friend' for the first time in the hills overlooking Carcassonne, and loving it immediately, especially in that environment. As usual with MK's work, some of the other songs took a while to grow on me. But YAYF hit me immediately. A couple of weeks later, Wembley Arena with the 'Sold Out' sign flashing. Happy Memories!
-
1991! Good memories. Remembering the first time seeing 'Calling Elvis' on MTV Europe (which was a proper music station at that time, instead of airing al kind of series with bored American teenagers). And some snippets of the tour-rehearsals. So the 'curtain-effect' wasn't a suprise anymore to me. My first MK/DS-gig was at the last Sunday of September 1991, Rotterdam. A great show. Never saw MK with that kind of energy anymore. With Planet of New Orleans, and yes, Tunnel of Love. The band was full of energy. Much more than in the summer of 1992. They looked more tired and bored with it. Back to 1991: no internet...so the setlist was a surprise. Surprised to hear 'Two Young Lovers'. Didn't expect that one! And in 1991...queuing for tickets for the 1992 Rotterdam concerts. One of the streets in Groningen was so crowded with fans with the busses and other traffic having troubles getting through! So, good and special memories!
-
Great to read your memories! Thank you and more please :) I had never the opportunity too see Dire Straits live.

I remember a friend of mine had a kind of demo tape of this album. All the songs were cut short by 1 minute and half or two minutes. The tape length was something like 40 minutes. I think this tape was released in Italy. Used to listen to it a lot. Those days in my country (Albania) was not easy at all to put hands on original tapes. When I got a copy tape of full length I was so surprised by the songs, was as rediscovering them. I loved that album, really a lot (still do).
I remember I used to sit in my balcony late at night, with not to much city lights, putting the tape on and listening to it at full length while enjoying the breeze of the night. I miss so much those nights :)
-
That tape were the versions that finally ended at the cd or were demos?
There is a bootleg called "Brothers in Mark" that had "monitor mixes" that I don´t know if can be considered as demos, of Heavy fuel, The Bug and On every street, and I always wondered if somewhere there are a complete OES demos tape or something...
This is the information in that bootleg:
On Every Street - Monitor Mixes, 05-02-1991
The Bug 4:04
Heavy Fuel 4:52
On Every Street 4:51
-
That tape were the versions that finally ended at the cd or were demos?
I used the word "demo", but the right word should probably be promo. It had all the songs, just cut off the endings fading out. Although I don't understand how that could have worked as promo considering most of the songs have a beautiful ending after a nice build up.

It´s what today is called teasers... you have them in site like Amazon or itunes this days, before release date, they put snippets of 30 seconds or maybe a little more of every song.

Absolutely fantastic album and the one album which I felt so lucky to have been around to purchase. I was 15 years old and was gutted I'd missed the DS performing live (except for seeing them on TV etc). By the time 1992 hit and June arrived, it was this album and the huge tour that literally made my life. 16 years old... had dreamed about seeing DS live for so many years after listening to all the other stuff and thinking it would never happen. This album holds so many incredible memories, especially the travel to the gig, tape (oes) in Walkman and hitting up Earl's Court to see them live. I kind of knew even then that it would be my first and last chance to see them live. As for the album itself, it's just wonderful. It was never gonna hit the 30mill+ sales of BIA but nothing ever would. OES sales of 10mill is not a failure, how many other albums sell that many these days? It was huge and full of some incredible stuff. Go listen.

What do you remeber from the concert? 😊

Hello everyone, I'm new here, even though I've been lurking this forum for a very long time.
On Every Street is probably my favourite Dire Straits album. Songs like How Long, You and Your Friend and On Every Street were among the first I learnt to play on the guitar, so it kind of holds a special place in my heart.

Hello and welcome!
This shows again how many people got and get inspired by Mark! Do you still play?

A very strong statement. And when you see what talent was set free here it is just "Wow!" MK inspired so many people that's just great and shows that he is a true artist. :thumbsup

I remember the tour like it was yesterday. The Earls Court dates were 2 day before my GCSE exams, a tough choice, but of course I made the proper choice!
Probably my first trip up to London on my own as well...
I remember getting in and ending up in the wrong seat, although I was happy when I ended up being moved forward 30 rows or so.
Great album, great days

Yes, I have a little Dire Straits cover band and they usually feature on the setlist! :)
-
So many nice memories here :)
Does anyone remember if there was broadcasted some live songs from the 1991 part of the On Every street tour? Or the American part of the 1992 tour?
I know about the European broadcast and soundboard recordings from 92, but find it a little strange there wasn’t anything from USA or 1992... 🙂🎸🎸

My first DS CD. Before that I owned only the MFN compilation cassette and cassette copies of DS, Communique and BIA.
I loved the OES album at the time, lots of good memories. It's a really good album, I think. Better than BIA in my opinion. And lots of great guitar playing. Ah, those days when Mark wasn't afraid of letting loose a little. Miss 'em.
-
Oh wow, there are some great comments here which I can relate to!
I’d been keen on DS before and had gradually bought their back catalogue; still love Communique even now, so under rated.
In August 1991 I remember the 15 minute channel 4 mini documentary which was about the making of Callling Elvis. Remember saying to mum “that’ll never sell” to which she replied she really liked it and thought it was catchy! So ... I bought the calling elvis cd single on the day of its release and played the three tracks non stop for ages.
When OES came out in sept 1991 I bought it about a week later - and was disappointed. CE, when it comes to you, the bug, heavy fuel and how long were the stand out tracks. Skipped the rest initially then gradually started listening properly. I then discovered what an amazing album this really was - within a month it became my favourite album of all time AND it still is even after all this time. Still listen at least once a month, nothing else comes close!
Then came the tour - I missed the 1991 shows but ordered the tour brochure anyway. My first ever gig was DS at Manchester, 16th June 1992. A gorgeous day. I’d done my final GCSE the day before so I was free! I remember being bowled over by the sheer size of the stage. Watched some of Lyle Lovett, he was ok (grew to like him more afterwards). Was (not was) were a brilliant support band, such energy.
Then came DS. Blimey they were loud. I still get shivers in my spine when listening to private investigations ... despite being stood on a giant football pitch I remember just how much the floor shuck during the electric guitar bit followed by hearing so many local car and burglar alarms going off afterwards. Absolutely brilliant! Hoped to see another gig but with only Ipswich and Woburn Abbey let I didn’t manage it - but I recorded the whole show from radio 1, right from 3pm to 10:30 when it finished (sadly some recordings have gone astray).
Followed MK ever since. Thank you mark and bands, you’ve made my life very happy - liking DS as a 15/16 year old wasn’t trendy at the time but I didn’t care. To me, the live shows since have never hit the energy of the OES tour ... even if mark was bored!
Now if only we had a soundboard recording of PONO and ToL ... wow!
I’ve often wondered what the tour would have been like with jack instead of Phil. V good but different. Jack brought a lot of energy and fun to the BIA tour, the OES tour maybe in comparison was more studied and striving for professional perfection.
On The Night is ok as a souvenir album (you and your friend is superb) but it’s too clean and does miss the passion shows like Basel have.

Agreed, Y&YF from OTN is (IMHO) magnificent, that interplay between MK and Paul Franklin on his Pedabro leading to a sublime climax.
I would love to hear some more soundboards of Y&YF from other concerts, but have only managed to find a (non soundboard) version from Munich....

I used to put YYF and BIA from the OTN album on repeat and turn off the light. The mood of those songs/versions is sublime. And the solos - Mark's, Paul's and Alan's - are so good. The last part of Mark's solo on YYF I think is his most inspired moment ever. It's as if his soul is plugged straight into the amplifier.
OTN, overall, is a little slick sounding, listening to it in 2019. But it fits the era, I guess, and you get the feeling that DS was a big, top-level band.
-
Couldn’t agree more!
-

I am still waiting after so many years for a special edition including all the missing songs...
it's really a farce, it's like MK doesn't want to be too successful
-
Listening to YYF a lot now. Live version. Can you imagine having David Gilmour playing guest lead guitar on that? OMG.

Great album and remember like many of you on here, going to WH Smiths to purchase this on the day of release.
I also remember purchasing the 'On the night' album (Limited edition cassette with a free holder for when the 'encores' cassette came out) alas I don't have this - doh!!
The 'On the night' album also came with a 'free' T-shirt which had a picture of the cover on it.
-
I remember going into town on the release day and coming home and playing it over and over. Mr Val was painting the front door when I arrived home, so I'm sure the neighbours were getting an earfull of DS through the open door whilst the paint dried! ;) I still think it's one of the best DS albums with many fantastic songs.
@ Knopflerfan - I also bought the 'On the Night' album with the T-shirt. It was much too big for me, so I wore it as a mini-nightie until it eventually wore out! :)
-
It was the first DS record I bought the day it got released, actually, a cassete, together with the Calling Elvis maxi, as I saw there was a track not in the cassete.
All nights I went to sleep listening to a radio programme that the night before, put almost all the record, so I listen to most of the songs the night after!

Yeah, that was the era of oversized t-shirts, the shoulder seam often going WAY down on your upper arm and the sleeve almost past your elbow.

I bought my copy of OES from Woolworths (RIP) in Falkirk and received a nice badge with it. Not sure if that was exclusive to Woolies or not. Still got the badge too!
My copy of CE single (don't recall where bought) but on the way home popped into my aunts and she put it on her hi-fi. I wasn't too keen at first but she liked it!
The album has been a real grower on me and I love the country style of many songs. There are a lot of very good songs on that record and none that I don't like.
-
Two songs I don't care much for and think don't fit the album are Ticket to Heaven and My Parties. They are not bad songs, I enjoy the sarcasm, but musically they feel like aberrations.
Also Heavy Fuel is a skipper for me. It feels clumsy and too much of an MFN clone.
-

For me it's so skipper that yesterday I listened to it 10 times

These ran through my mind as I wrote my last post, but I still don't dislike them as I do so many of his latest solo songs.
Ticket to Heaven always reminds me of the Professor Joe Butcher character from Licence to Kill.

I have to admit to skipping 'My Parties' and 'Heavy Fuel'. 'Heavy Up' from the last album is a skipper too - I have tried to like it, but it's just not doing it for me!
-
'Calling Elvis' is most deffo a skipper, 'Heavy fuel' is fine but 'My parties' and 'You and Your friend' are outstanding and feature highly on my MK ratings list....
-
I bought both OES and OTN from Our Price (remember them?). No badges, posters, stickers or t-shirts for me 😢
