An absolute masterclass by Harley Lovegrove of Pearl Acoustics on Dire Straits' first album "Down to the Waterline"
When Dire Straits went into the studio to record their first album, they couldn't have known the giant impact it would have and how, in just a couple of years they would go from playing in pubs in North London to giant stadiums, all around the world. In this video I will talk about Dire Straits' beginnings and play excerpts from this their first album, highlighting elements that may have been overlooked or forgotten, and show everything they became is tracible back to this their first LP. Enjoy!
