20 December 1985 Hammersmith Odeon London, England

Quality: very good - Aud

Comments:

Pretty nice sounding recording from one of the last concerts of 1985. Great show featuring two guest players; Nils Lofgren and Hank B. Marvin. Just before Going home, Mark Knopfler tells the audience how much he admires Hank Marvin and Alan plays a Christmas tune during Going home. Mark says: "Bobby, this is for your birthday." and then the band plays Happy Birthday. I have no idea who this Bobby is, but it's very nice to hear.
