About
Live at the BBC is a live album by Dire Straits, recorded in-between Dire Straits, Communique and Making Movies. The studio version of first six songs were released on Dire Straits. The album was released in 1995, the year in which the group officially disbanded. From Mark Knopfler's own words, this album was released because the defunct Dire Straits still owed an album to PolyGram (now Mercury). This album was a means to end the legal contract, before Mark Knopfler began his solo career (still signed to Mercury). The first seven tracks were recorded for the BBC "Live In Concert" series on July 22nd 1978. Track 8, "Tunnel Of Love" was recorded for the BBC-TV program "Old Grey Whistle Test" on January 31st 1981. This record features one unreleased song, a co-written track with brother David, "What's The Matter Baby?" It is the only co-written song in Dire Straits history. (There are two other Dire Straits songs on which Mark Knopfler shared writing credits -- "Money for Nothing" and "Tunnel of Love" - but in each case the song itself is entirely by Knopfler with only a small contribution to the backing or arrangement by the other credited artist.).
