Dire Straits - Southbound again [Very Rare Demo -77]

[1jetdrvr]

Really good stuff! Takes me back.  Dire Straits first album was the best they ever did.

[darchangelous]

similar riff to the clapton/knopfler cocaine performance.

in that demos .... Mark .... you are boss .... sheet that is better then studio version I think it will be good idea to sell that. MARK GO ....

I don't understand the "unreleased material" you mention...Southbound and Setting Me Up, I know was released on their first album.

[DogSwede1]

These are demos recorded only months after Dire Straits was founded.

[briandavisradio]

Ahhh, I thought as much. Not to be nit pickin' but maybe it should read "previously unreleased". Not a big deal either way really. It's just great music period. Thanks for posting it !

@DogSwede1 "I got no money, I got no place to go" was not included in the definitive version! So I agree with you when you say this is a rare track!

Can you please tell me what are the next two verses after that?

[master244]

@DogSwede1

these versions are incredible even better then the album versions if you ask me :D

hands down for dogswede1 for his incredible talent to upload all this stuff, im a huge mk fan reason why i started to play the guitar!
