Wow, I always thought that was a huge classic rock staple. I used to hear it on the radio all the time. It's the Dire Straits song that I thought everyone knew.
> I wasn't familiar with any songs on Draw The Line
The title track from Draw the Line is another song I'd think you would know from classic rock radio, regardless of interest in the band. Not as big a song as Money for Nothing though.
> Ending their setlist with "Flesh" is like a bad joke.
It was a joke. I just posted that setlist with "Flesh" at the end because you said at one point that you hoped it would be the last song they ever played live. Setlist.com says that they haven't played it since 1994. The rest of that was a real setlist. I could live without Livin' On the Edge, but I can live with it. Nice to see that it's 1/3 deep cuts that are all good. Hangman Jury is my pick for their best post-comeback song.
I think this is only the second time they've said they were doing a farewell tour, and the first time they said something that made it deliberatly ambiguous, but I'm not looking it up. I wouldn't be surprised if they played again publicly at some point after this tour, but it sounds like there are alot of issues that would make it hard to do a real tour after this one is over.
