Details are important, you won't find the Egham recording, as it has been corrected to Newcastle, lol

"This recording was labelled before as "Egham 1989" but prooved to actually be the Newcastle recording from 9th October 1989 (Mark Knopfler singing "Newcastle town" during So far away).

Mark lead his supergroup Dire Straits infront of just 700 people at the Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle. The gala dinner concert was in support of North East Personality of the Year, Joanne Gillespie, 11 years old, who wrote the book 'Brave Heart' about her fight against cancer. The charity raised more than £35,000. Sadly, Joanne died in 1993. The picture below shows Joanne Gillespie (with tongue out) and her sister Sarah together with Dire Straits. Remarkable is that Jack Sonni did not perform with Dire Straits anymore after the Brothers in arms tour, for this show he was replaced by Brendan Croker. From left to right; Alan Clark, Terry Williams, John Illsley, Sarah Gillespie, Mark Knopfler, Joanne Gillespie, Chris White, Guy Fletcher and Brendan Croker. Very rare concert, the original sound has been improved a lot with sound editing software. Fairly good sound quality."

Brendan Croker on rhythm guitar, that's interesting.

Strange setlist, though!


Sultans of swing
Two young lovers
Romeo and Juliet
So far away
Money for nothing
Nadine
Twisting by the pool

Maybe they want to make it as "fun" as possible for kids (considering Joanne was only 11)?
