Yeah that gig rocks. As you can probably tell I'm a big fan of Dire Straits and I like how they use the saxophone in a few of their songs such as, Going Home Theme (Local Hero), Two Young Lovers, Your Latest Trick, etc. I was watching a video of that Nelson Mandella concert and was really surprissed when Eric Clapton came out. Knopfler just said, "We got a replacment on the guitar for tonight. The best we could do I'm afraid. Ladies and Gentlemen, Eric Clapton." Amazing, and I liked that version of Wonderful tonight they did aswell! My fave Dire Straits live gig though is the Alchemy album. Now that's how to do a live album!

As for Love For Sale, I love that song, and it's brilliant how Bon Jovi have done it almost as a joke song, but made it very good musically. The harmonica is excellent, and the acoustic guitar or banjo, or whatever it is sounds brilliant. I think Bon Jovi should do more songs in that style, although then I suppose they would be acused of ripping Love For Sale off, but they could use the Harmonica more. After all Dylan and Springsteen had huge hits using the harmonica.

according to the sleevenote, love for sale was laid down during a party and even if thats bullshit, they've caught the atmosphere of a coupla guys sitting with acoustic guitars jamming at a party spot on
