	The Deadhead appreciation of Dire Straits music extends further
than the fans of the Grateful Dead.  In a July '85 FRETS interview
with Jerry Garcia, when asked, "Are there any current bands you'd go out of
your way to see?", Jerry replied, "... the last band I went to see live was
Dire Straits a few years ago ... But there are more acts that I would go see
... It's just that the opportunity doesn't present itself that often."
