Very pleased to receive this book as a Xmas present from my daughter and looking forward to reading it. DS are my favourite band and John was a pivotal member of it so it will be great to have an insight into their history!
Thank you for this book l really appreciate reading "your story ".l have loved Dire Straits since the beginning and now l realize where all the amazing sounds came from. Love your sense of humor 😂🤣😅.wishing you love,peace and good health! I am a obsessed old Record collector (l can't stop)now l 'm increasing my Dire Straits albums CD DVDs 45's etc. It's my adventure ♥️ as a female, married, divorced ,married divorced babies, his children, nursing for 50+ etc etc l was limited!have always loved Music 🎶 (l can play Proud Mary on the guitar 2 cords Guitar)and can read music play the piano etc 🎶! My son made off with my guitar and a couple pioneer stack , records etc now l'm replacing them all etc thanks for the background music of my life 🙋♀️
Decent book by John Illsley seems like the sort of bloke you would like to have a pint with. Great memories from a great band, they must have had some staying power to get through those long tours.🎸👋
I beg to differ with most of you. When Catherine Marshall was writing the story of her husband Peter Marshall's life she wanted to leave the legacy of a wonderful man. When she presented her first manuscript of the book to her publisher, after he'd read it he called her into his office and said, "You haven't even BEGUN to get inside the man Peter Marshall!" I'm afraid if l were the publisher of this book, l would have said something similar...
quite a few mistakes, but that is to be expected, we are DS freaks, he just went from show to show and did not look back too much. it remains an enjoyable read
@@ThePottel ha Pottel from MKNews forum, right? 16years ago at least... :-) Yes there are more mistakes, just finished the book. Interesting story about why Hal Lindes was made to leave, that was new for me and I think never mentioned before anywhere. (or?)
Il libro è scritto bene, però mi aspettavo che raccontasse di più (come da titolo) della band. Parla molto di sé, un pochino troppo secondo la mia opinione. Comunque, un libro da leggere sicuramente.
Great book, beautifully written. Thank you, John.
Nice interview style. Respect John and hearing him. Dire Straits are my fave band.

Yes! Release the unreleased Dire Straits songs - I’d love to buy and hear them!
And well done on the book, I’m enjoying reading it :-)

I agree, a lot was glossed over but that was always going to happen I think.
yeah good interview. 8:35 I found 3 mistakes so far, regarding the concerts and details :-)

Anch'io la penso così. Sembra solo la storia della sua vita. Letto una volta è più che sufficiente. Niente di che.
