As huge and old MK and DS fan I watch this video and after 38 years in my mind the question is always the same: why this incredible and historical concert never released? Why all the material from the BIA tour never realised in CD and DVD? I hope one day someone will decide to realise all the DS's live music possibly before the end of the world.

A fusion between rock and country rock music which fit perfectly with the finger picking style of Mark, a heavy country music influence guitar player. We will never hear these style of songs again as the audience is quite different and will not consume this style of music anymore. We now can enjoy a very special time in our history where quality of music mattered more than what anyone looked like.

I am also a huge DS/MK fan and have been since first hearing Sultans way back in 78. I saw the BIA tour at the Greek in LA during the summer of 85, what a phenomenal show! After the encore, their manager came out with a bottle of Champagne and announced that the band had the number one Song (Money for Nothing) the number one CD, BIA the number one music video (MFN), and the number one highest-grossing tour for the year. What a great memory that is!
