Couldn't ask for more
I saw another review that said the songs are incomplete and are in Stereo. Picked this up for the DVD-Audio and I am not dissapointed. . . they're complete and in full surround sound (it needs to be selected in the Set Up menu). Sound quality is great. I don't really care about extra features like interviews and lyrics - 5 stars for being a great album and great sound quality. I've been to Mark Knopfler concerts that had much poorer sound than this disc!.


simply the best
He is the greatest ever. mark knopfler is a craftsman, a technician and a bottomless reservoir of talent and finesse.


Shangri La By Mark Knopfler
How can you go wrong with Mark Knopfler? He is an
excellent Guitarist and entertainer.


Le grand maestro est de retour !
Du grand Mark Knopfler, tant au niveau de son jeu de guitare toujours aussi génial, que de la qualité de ses mélodies. Un retour réussi pour l'ex-leader de dire straits. Un incontournable !.


The album's great, the DVD is a con job
Oh sure, there is terrific footage of them playing and recording live in the studio (including an unreleased track called "Summer Of Love") but none of the songs are complete!!

The album itself is great, stuck in the same groove as "Sailing To Philedelphia" (which isn't a bad thing) and features great songwriting as usual - just check out the lyrics for "Boom Like That", "Trawlerman's Song" and "Whoop De Doo". First off, the only reason this package gets four stars instead of five is the fact that the DVD accompanying it is a real con job!!

The video's anamorphic widescreen and the sound is Dolby stereo, but we only get interview snippets with Mark and his new band that run for about 30 minutes.

The playing is laidback and intense, and Mark does get in a few of his trademark licks. Recommended.
