Dire Straits Experience - should I go?

[quizzaciously]

The vocals to me is the hardest part to copy (or to do anyway), not only in tribute bands, but in any band. You can copy the guitar sound almost exactly, you can get the right amplifier, instruments, cables, clothes etc, but it all doesn't make any sense if you're telling no story or have nothing to say. Check out this Jimmy Fallon tribute and tell me if this is the best thing or not! Imagine a DS tribute of this magnitude

If I was you and it's not difficult to attend or expensive, I'll go and have my own opinion

Go and see the German DIRE STRATS. They are really great and have a man on the guitar who really nails it. They have a lot of variation in their set list so they are really worth more visits. They really understand to get a crowd going wild!

I'm not really a fan of tribute bands but I've watched many of their videos and I think they're really good.  Even the vocalist has improved in more recent videos.
