    Welp the Dire Straits box sets have been great so far but this one is a disaster on CD/streaming. This version is quite compressed and dull sounding. In fact, it's second lowest dynamic version of this album (the least dynamic being the 2005 CD).

    Every other CD master of this album sounds so much better that it's comical. Which is a shame because it deserved so much more. I've never heard a bad sounding version of this album but they pulled it off... It seems to be a decision from UMG because Miles Showell also mastered the vinyl set and Blu-ray and they sound fantastic.

    The snare doesn't stand out like it's supposed to and the percussion on Ride Across the River sounds unexpressive and plain. Dissapointed.

    The live stuff is uncompressed but can be a bit dull at times (although still pretty good for what it is). If you want the live stuff, get this set but play a different CD for the main album.

      Le meilleur Live de la tournée "Brothers in Arms Tour".
      ons le disque 1 qui n'a aucune utilité et qui n'est rien d'autre que la version remasterisée et compressée de l'album studio, mais bon, qui n'a pas déjà une première édition de cet album mythique ?
      L'intérêt ici se porte sur les disques 2 & 3 du double live de San Antonio '85 qui n'a jamais été édité officiellement et qui circulait jusqu'à maintenant en version pirate sous le nom de "Secrets In The Closet" (soundboard), que je possède. Sachez dorénavant que le bootleg n'a plus lieu d'être, vous pouvez vous en débarrasser, surtout pour son atroce jaquette, cette version officielle est nettement supérieure en tous points, précision, basses profondes, détails, clarté et j'en e. Avec le box "Live 1978-1992" la boucle est définitivement bouclée, il a fallu attendre 40 ans tout de même...

        The live concert is fantastic. Bass is deep and slick, nice detail in the high frequencies. The only thing that sounds dated are the Simmons drums you hear occasionally but it was the mid 80s.
