Live at the BBC (1995) |
On the Night is the third live album by Dire Straits, after Alchemy and Live at the BBC, which was released in 1995, but recorded much earlier. It features many of their later hits, including the successful singles "Walk Of Life" and "Money for Nothing." "On the Night" is a collection of recordings from two different concerts during the On Every Street tour.
The musical virtuosity of all players can clearly be heard, and the album also makes best use of Paul Franklin's pedal steel guitar skills, and Chris White's saxophone solos. These two musicians had previously appeared on the album On Every Street; On The Night highlights their talents more prominently.
