Not sure if this news report from Oz has been posted before.  Includes a good part of Industrial Disease.

I know this document. It perfectly shows the atmosphere of the 80's. And I am a child of the 80's  :)

Yes, a really cool document. Does someobody know the venue in the news-report ? Is it New Zealand Christchurch, Aukland or Wellington and what was the name of the venue in those days ? :think

The reporter says the Football Park at Adelaide.  Dire Straits are listed in the Wiki entry:

OK, thanks for that information. The sound of that news-video was not so good, so i couldnĀ“t understand some sentences.  I own an original poster by Dire Straits from March 1986, which promoted the Christchurch, Aukland and Wellington concerts in NZ.
