It's Friday somewhere. - No theme Friday Tunage 02/09/2024

Going to go see them live tonight:

The show was absolutely fantastic, they're so good live. Especially with the pedal steel added in now, it completely transforms some of the songs. Got to hear one of my favorites right off the bat as well:

 
On this date in 1978, #DireStraits began recording their first album at Basing Street Studios, London. The whole project cost $21,250 to produce. The album which featured the group's breakthrough single 'Sultans of Swing' went on to enjoy a 41 week run on the US chart and 132 weeks in the UK. The inspiration for 'Sultans of Swing' came from Mark Knopfler witnessing a mediocre jazz band playing in the corner of a practically deserted pub. At the end of their performance, the lead singer came up to the microphone and announced that they were the "Sultans of Swing."
