VINYL DESCRIPTION

On the Night – 4 × LP Vinyl Set – Very Rare Live Vinyl (Includes Tunnel of Love)

A standout item for any Collector of Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler — this is a brand new / never played 4-LP vinyl set of On the Night, featuring the live performance of Tunnel of Love officially included on this pressing.

This is highly significant because Tunnel of Love was never issued on any official live CD, cassette, or standard vinyl from the On Every Street tour era. There are virtually no official soundboard-quality releases of Tunnel of Love from that tour — this pressing is one of the very few times it has ever appeared in an authorised live format.

This makes the set exceptionally desirable and increasingly difficult to source.

This copy has never been played, has only ever been stored in a protective sleeve, and will be securely packaged for postage.

🎶 Additional Collector Highlights

Beyond the inclusion of Tunnel of Love, this 4×LP set features several notoriously hard-to-find live recordings from the On Every Street era:

Sultans of Swing — A late-career, extended live arrangement, played with mature phrasing and space. These later tour versions are far less commonly available in high-quality soundboard form than the 1980s performances.

I Think I Love You Too Much — A track rarely performed and seldom released in official live form. The tone, dynamics and phrasing here are outstanding and make this pressing especially valuable to collectors of Knopfler’s guitar work.

When It Comes to You — A beautifully understated song that did not appear frequently in official live releases. This recording captures the subtle fingerstyle and lyrical warmth perfectly.

You and Your Friend — A fan-favourite from the On Every Street album, and one of the standout atmospheric live pieces of the entire era. This performance is regarded by many collectors as one of the most emotional renditions of the tour.

Telegraph Road — The epic. This late-tour version has a deeper, slower, more dramatic build compared to earlier tours — highly sought-after among Knopfler aficionados who appreciate his long-form storytelling pieces.

Many recordings from this tour circulate only in audience tapes or broadcast fragments.

This set, however, provides official, full-fidelity soundboard performances of these songs — making it an exceptional document of the band’s final tour together.

For fans of:

Knopfler’s matured guitar tone

Deep, atmospheric arrangements

The twilight years of Dire Straits

…this release stands as one of the most rewarding and difficult-to-find vinyl documents of the band’s career.
