Dates of Dire Straits songs played for the very last time
« on: April 05, 2022, 03:14:50 PM »
Hi all, i thought it would be a fun idea to start a thread where we name Dire Straits songs and the very last time they've been played live. And if possible, please link the respective bootleg or recording.

For instance, i'm really curious to know when Tunnel Of Love has been played for the last time. I've read MK stopped playing it after the death of his father because TOL was his father's favorite song. This must've been somewhere in 1993. Maybe someone knows the exact date and concert and maybe someone has a recording / bootleg.

I'll start:

Ride Across The River: April 26 1986
Expresso Love: April 26 1986
Industrial Disease: April 26 1986

I checked On Every Bootleg, which has entries (of recordings) of the last DS shows in Spain, and in fact, Barcelona 2nd of October 1992 was the last time Tunnel was performed, you can check it out yourself.

But On Every Bootleg does not contain full (complete) shows.

But in fact,  October 3, Tunnel Of Love was gone.
