The second album of Come Together 2023 Making Movies is Dire Straits third studio album. Released in 1980, the album includes singles Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway & more. It is regarded as one of Dire Straits best albums and is a favourite with kiwi audiences. Making Movies is a guitarists dream and challenge, and is a favourite of the bands. They will perform this great album live, in its entirety – back to back, track by track along with a bonus set of classics and deep cuts. ‘Making Movies is the record on which Mark Knopfler comes out from behind his influences and Dire Straits come out from behind Mark Knopfler. The combination of the star's lyrical script, his intense vocal performances and the band's cutting-edge rock & roll soundtrack is breathtaking.’ - Rolling Stone About COME TOGETHER Come Together brings together the best of NZ artists and musicians to collaborate and perform legendary albums in their entirety, live in concert. Borne out of an aspiration to showcase our greatest musicians to a wider audience, these tours have already attracted well over 30,000 concertgoers.
