The first, and only, inside story of one of the greatest bands in
rock history--Dire Straits--as told by founding member and bassist
John Illsley One of the most successful music acts of all time,
Dire Straits filled stadiums around the world. Their albums sold
hundreds of millions of copies and their music--classics like
"Sultans of Swing," "Romeo and Juliet," "Money for Nothing," and
"Brothers in Arms"--is still played on every continent today. There
was, quite simply, no bigger band on the planet throughout the
eighties. In this powerful and entertaining memoir, founding member
John Illsley gives the inside track on the most successful rock
band of their time. From playing gigs in the spit-and-sawdust pubs
of south London, to hanging out with Bob Dylan in LA, Illsley tells
the story of the band with searching honesty, soulful reflection,
and wry humor. Starting with his own unlikely beginnings in Middle
England, he recounts the band's rise from humble origins to the
best-known venues in the world, the working man's clubs to Madison
Square Garden, sharing gigs with wild punk bands to rocking the
Live Aid stage at Wembley. And woven throughout is an intimate
portrait and tribute to his great friend Mark Knopfler, the band's
lead singer, songwriter, and remarkable guitarist. Tracing an idea
that created a phenomenal musical legacy, an extraordinary journey
of joy and pain, companionship and surprises, this is John
Illsley's life in Dire Straits.
