Title: Six Blade Knife: Tel Aviv 1985
Post by: the visitor on March 24, 2021, 01:54:00 PM
Hi all

I came across this video on FB / YouTube. It appears to be an ultra rare recording of Six Blade Knife on the BIA tour, this one recorded in Tel Aviv. Its a complete version and until today I only knew of the incomplete recording from Split.  Would be great to get the whole recording but grateful to be able to hear this, including the ending:

Yes indeed a very good find.  :thumbsup
According to the BIA-Tourbook of Live in 85 there are three Israel-gigs listed. One in Jerusalem and two in Tel Aviv. On YouTube is a MTV-Special documentary about Dire Straits in Israel hosted by Paula Yates. There is not a lot of documents, photos or videos from that Israel gigs around. Will be cool to find further stuff in the near future. I don´t know, if here is a fellow fan-member, who has attended the Israel shows and took some photos, or has more information. I only have some Vinyl-LPs as Israeli-pressings from Dire Straits in my collection. That´s all. :think

Yes, also sad to know.
Interesting in this dokumentation is the "other" Walk of life-Video with the musician in the tunnel. The more known video is that version with the sport-accidents. In the alternate video you can see Dire Straits on an open air stage with their instruments. That was the Jerusalem location called "Sultans Pool", where one of the Israel-gigs took place. As i said, there is not a lot of footage, infos or documents about the Israel shows. I own some Israel-pressings of Dire Straits records and i know that doku. But i´m of the opinion that someone should have filmed the shows or took some photos there. Maybe someone owns the original Israel-tickets or owns an original tournee-poster of the shows in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. On ebay i once watched an old concert-ticket from Jugoslavia Zagreb i think.
Knopfler also played a concert in Dubai in 2005 during the Shangri-La Worldtour and a concert in Bangalore and in Mumbay (Bombay) in India.

Some of the collectors might share this bootleg or something: http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/telaviv1985.htm (http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/telaviv1985.htm)

The music belongs to people, not sitting on the shelf. Besides, sooner or later every gem will be discovered anyway. We've already heard ultra-rare complete "Summer's Going My Way", and "Telegraph Road" without fade-out (if memory serves me well) and other rarities. It will find a way.

They had put that version on the Money for Nothing 2022 release (instead of live version). It's even on the LP versions and was at first also on Spotify, but they corrected it on the streaming platforms.
