Today marks 38 years since the release of Dire Straits fifth studio album Brothers In Arms, which has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. The big hit from the album was the gimmicky Money For Nothing with its groundbreaking video shown endlessly on MTV, but for me the highlight was the song Brothers In Arms, which I've posted on before but will continue to do so as I find it so beautiful and remains one of my favorite songs. This version is from a 1996 live performance by Mark Knopfler. The song's lyrics (here artfully mumbled in Knopfler's rough voice) and his evocative, big fat note guitar playing make quite a combination.
