The vid starts off with Molly interviewing Knopfler and Ed Bicknell (their manager). Entertaining viewing.
Then at the end Molly is trying to talk to the band but they're just not interested. The Brothers in Arms tour is over, they've had enough, they get into their cars (think MK speeds off in a sports car, can't quite remember) and poor Molly is left on his own.
Great concert. I managed to record it onto a Mini-Disc and listened to it most nights while driving trucks on the mines.
I love Jack Sonny in this tour. He is so entertaining and a great guitarist. He really has a great time - "Has anybody got some clippers? Anton...Anton...some clippers please"
I read an article about him years later where he said this tour was the highlight of his life and something that would never be beaten. He seemed a bit sad for the glory days of that tour and I can understand that.
Cheers,
Dan
