BERNA AND ANTIBES:
TWO UNFORGETTABLE CONCERTS
(6 JULY - FESTHALLE / 4 AUGUST - LA PINEDE)
 
BY ANDREA PIRRONE
 
 
 
                     Still alive in my mind what happened in Berna (6th July), and in Antibes (4th August). Maybe the
                     atmosphere was not like the London shows at Royal Albert Hall (even if the Antibes show was
                     really fascinating), but what really means is that the band played more than two hours of music in
                     an exciting way.
                     "Darling Pretty" starts each concerts, then "Walk Of Life", "Imelda", "The Bug". People listened
                     to all the new songs in silence, with attention; but only the old songs by Dire Straits gave the right
                     emotion to the hearts of the public (above all: Sultans Of Swing, Money For Nothing, Telegraph
                     Road, Romeo And Juliet).
                     What I really appreciated was the rielaboration of Water Of Love and Calling Elvis.
                     New and old musicians, near Mark gave a look more friendly than Dire Straits on the last tour
                     "On Every Street ´92".
                     Wonderful version of Rüdiger and Je Suis Désolé and Guy Fletcher seemed to have a lot of fun
                     playing the guitar on "Done With Bonaparte".
                     Real good emotions and nothing else!!
