Comments:

Pretty good sounding audience recording from Tokyo, just a little - what appears to be -  tape hiss in the background.  One of the few Japanese concerts Dire Straits have ever played, and possibly the only one available on bootleg.  Some funny moments when Mark introduces the songs to the Japanese audience.  Also, during the whole concert, one guy keeps shouting loudly for Skateaway.  By the end of the show, Mark is sick of it and 'talks' to the man, asking him politely to 'skate away'...  There is also a guest saxophone player present on this recording, the Australian Paul Williamson.
