LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES SEPTEMBER 15, 2019- IT WAS ON THIS DATE IN 1988 MARK KNOPFLER HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THE BREAK-UP OF DIRE STRAITS. THEY WERE ACTIVE AS A GROUP FROM 1977-1988, AND THEN AGAIN FOR A BRIEF REUNION WHEN THEY REFORMED
FROM 1991-1995. THEY WERE ONE OF THE WORLDS BIGGEST SELLING BANDS
SELLING OVER 100 MILLION ALBUMS. LAST YEAR DIRE STRAITS WAS INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME.
HERE’S AN INCREDIBLE LIVE VERSION OF MONEY FOR NOTHING FROM THE GROUP’S APPEARANCE AT LIVE AID
