Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

This is a live performance from Dire Straits performing their classic song "Money for Nothing". It is from the concert DVD "Live At Knebworth 1990 - Parts 1, 2 & 3" (click here for Amazon page).
The song was released as a single in 1985 and the song is from the "Brothers in Arms" album, also from 1985. It became a huge hit, due to many factors. First off, it's a really good song, Sting appeared on the intro singing in falsetto and it spawned a ground breaking music video. The video features very early computer-animation which today looks silly, but back then looked really good and new. (Music video embeded beneath).

In 1985 it won a Grammy for best Rock Performance at the 28th annual Grammy Awards. The lyrics are basically the new MTV generation through the eyes of a middle-aged working class man, shortly. The writing credit is shared between Sting and Mark Knopfler.
This performance is really good, and it also features Eric Clapton who stays in the background for the most part, but does a little solo in the song. It's a good steady performance.

Enjoy ; )
