Hiki ke unuhi ʻia ka inoa o ka hui ʻo Dire Straits i ka Lūkini ma kekahi ʻano - "Desperate situation", "Constrained circumstances", "Difficult situation", i kekahi hihia, ʻaʻole hoʻoikaika ka huaʻōlelo.
I kēia manawa, ua loaʻa i nā kāne i kahi inoa no lākou iho, ʻaʻole lākou he poʻe superstitious, a, ʻoiai, ʻo ia ke kumu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ai kā lākou ʻoihana.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i nā makahiki kanawalu, ua lilo ka hui i kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi a kūleʻa ʻoihana i ka mōʻaukala o nā mele hou.
I ka makahiki 1977, ua kono ʻelua mau keikikāne Pelekāne, ʻo Mark lāua ʻo David Knopfler, i kā lāua mau hoa John Illsley lāua ʻo Peak Withers e hoʻomaka i ka pāʻani mele.
Lawe nā ʻohana i nā kīkā, loaʻa iā John ka mea hoʻokani bass, a noho ʻo Peak ma ka pahu pahu. Ma kēia haku mele, hoʻomaka lākou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ko lākou mākaukau hana.
ʻO ke kumu o ka repertoire o ka hui, ʻo ia nā mele a Mark Knopfler akamai i ke ʻano o ka blues-rock i hoʻopili ʻia me ka ʻāina, rock and roll a me jazz. A ua lilo kēia mau mele noʻonoʻo melancholy i pane kūpono i ka pōhaku punk ʻālohilohi a hoʻomāinoino e ulu nei i kēlā manawa.
I ka wā mua o ka Dire Straits
ʻO ka inoa hoʻohaʻahaʻa akā hoʻohenehene a phonetically euphonious ʻo Dire Straits i manaʻo ʻia e kahi mea hoʻokani pila ma waho i noho i ka lumi like me Withers i kēlā manawa.
I kēlā manawa, ʻike maoli nā kāne i nā pilikia kālā, ua "aground" lākou, no laila ua kūpono ka inoa no ka hui.
I ka makahiki mua o kona noho ʻana, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Knopflers a me nā hoa pili i kahi cassette pailaka, i hui pū ʻia me ʻelima mau mele, e komo pū ana me nā Sultans of Swing e hiki mai ana, a hāʻawi ʻia e hoʻolohe i nā opuses o kahi mea hoʻokipa lekiō BBC maʻamau, ʻo Charlie Gillette.
Ua hauʻoli loa ʻo Charlie Gillette i kāna mea i lohe ai ua kau koke ʻo ia i "The Sultans" ma ka lewa. Ua hele ka mele i ka poʻe, a he mau mahina ma hope mai ua kau inoa ka hui i kahi ʻaelike me Phonogram Records.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka album mua ma ke kapena Basing Street studio. Ua hana lākou i loko o Feberuari 1978, ua hoʻohana ʻoi aku ma mua o 12 tausani paona sterling ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lawe i nā ʻāpana kūikawā no kā lākou hana.
ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka moʻolelo, ua ʻoluʻolu nā mea hoʻohewa a me ka lehulehu i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana. Eia naʻe, i ka manawa like, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Dire Straits i kahi hana ʻaha mele ikaika, e hoʻokani ana i nā ʻaha mele me ka ulu ʻana o Talking Heads.
Ua hoʻohuli ka poʻe ʻAmelika mai Warner Bros. Records, ka mea i hoʻokuʻu i ka album mua ma US a hoʻolaha ʻia ma kahi o ka honua.
ʻAʻole i lanakila wale ka pōhaku ʻāina mai Ladana i nā ʻAmelika koho wale nō, akā, ʻoi aku ka hauʻoli o nā Canadians, Australia a me New Zealanders. Ua hookipa maikai ia keia hana ma Europa.
I ka makahiki 79, ua huakaʻi nui nā kāne i ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, kahi i pāʻani ai lākou i kanalima hana i hoʻokahi mahina i loko o nā keʻena piha.
Ua kipa ʻo Bob Dylan kaʻao i kā lākou ʻaha mele ma Los Angeles, ua hauʻoli i ka hana a kono iā Mark Knopfler a me Peak Withers e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album Slow Train Coming.
Ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka disc ʻelua, i kapa ʻia ʻo Communique Dire Straits, ma ka hopena o 78 ma Bahamas. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ke kauwela o 79 a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka laina mua o nā palapala Kelemānia.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka haku mele ʻo Lady Writer ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi. Ua hoʻomau ka album i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka laina like i kūkulu ʻia ma ka mua. Ma ke mele a me ka kikokikona, ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana, akā me ke kani "monochrome" like.
Hoʻololi nā mele a me nā laina laina
I Iulai 80, hoʻomaka ka hui e hana ma ke kolu o ka diski a hoʻopau iā ia i ka hāʻule. I ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ua nui ka hakakā ʻana o nā kaikunāne Knopfler me kekahi.
Ua koi ʻo Mark i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka papa mele mele, a ua manaʻo ʻo David e pono ana ka hui e hoʻomohala i ka vein kahiko i loaʻa iā ia ka kūleʻa pili.
I ka hopena, ua haʻalele ʻo David iā Dire Straits me ka puʻupuʻu, no laila ʻaʻole i ʻōlelo ʻia kona komo ʻana i ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma ka lima lima, ua hoʻohui ʻia nā ʻāpana guitar rhythm e kekahi mea mele.
Ua hele kaʻahele ka hui me ʻelua mau lālā hou: ʻo Alan Clark ka mea hoʻokani pila a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Hal Lindes.
ʻOkoʻa ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni mai nā hana mua o Dire Straits ma kāna ʻano kiʻi pōhaku, ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me ka lōʻihi o nā haku mele, i lilo i mea hōʻailona o ka hui i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
ʻO nā ʻike pilikino puʻupuʻu o Mark Knopfler, he philologist ma o ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana, ua hoʻokumu i ke kumu o nā mele o ka album. ʻO ka mele lanakila loa mai kēia album ʻo Romeo lāua ʻo Juliet, e haʻi ana e pili ana i ke aloha pau ʻole e like me kā Shakespeare.
Ua noʻonoʻo ʻia ka haku hana studio hou aʻe o ka hui Love over Gold, inā ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka mea maikaʻi loa, a laila kekahi o ... i kā lākou discography.
Ua hōʻea ke akamai o ka poʻe mele i kona kiʻekiʻe, a ua hauʻoli nā papa pōhaku lōʻihi i ka maʻalahi a me nā ʻano like ʻole o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā hoʻonā. Ua holomua ka hoʻokolohua.
I ka hāʻule o ka makahiki 1982, ua hōʻoia ʻia ka album i ke gula ma ʻAmelika a piʻi kiʻekiʻe ma nā papa palapala ʻEulopa.
I ke kiʻekiʻe o ka perestroika, ʻo ka hui hoʻopaʻa leo Soviet ʻo Melodiya i hoʻokuʻu i kēia moʻolelo kupanaha ma USSR, me ka ʻoki ʻole ʻia a me ka hoʻolālā uhi mua mua!
Inā ʻaʻole i kākau ʻia ka inoa o ka hui a me ka diski ma Cyrillic - "Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke aloha ma mua o ke gula", a ʻike ʻia ke alakaʻi o ka hui ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo Knopfler - ua huikau nā unuhi i ka leka "kī" i ka hoʻomaka o ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.
He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ua hana piha ʻia kēia album e Mark iā ia iho a he ʻelima wale nō mele - ʻelua ma ka ʻaoʻao mua, a ʻekolu ma ka lua.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka ʻāpana mua ʻo Telegraph Road ma mua o 14 mau minuke, akā hoʻololi ke ʻano melodic, tempo, a me ke ʻano i nā manawa he nui i loko, i hoʻolohe ʻia i ka hanu hoʻokahi.
Ua haʻalele ʻo Peak Withers i ka hui ma hope koke o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album. Ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Terry Williams. Me kēia kanaka i ka haku mele, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi album ola pālua ʻo Alchemy: Dire Straits Live.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻaʻole ma vinyl wale nō, akā ma kahi CD e loaʻa ana ka kaulana.
Nā Kaikunāne
Ma mua o ka hoʻi ʻana o Dire Straits hou i ka makahiki 1984 e hoʻopaʻa i kahi album hou, ʻelima. Ma hope iho, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka disc koʻikoʻi loa i ka waihona kālā o ka hui ponoʻī, a me nā makahiki he ʻumi.
I kēlā manawa, ua hui pū ʻo Guy Fletcher mai Roxy Music i ka hui, ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Hal Lindes, a ua kiʻi ʻia ʻo American Jack Sonny ma waho o ka mokuʻāina e pani iā ia.
Ua noho ʻo Terry Williams no nā wikiō mele a me nā ʻaha mele, a ma ke keena ua hāʻawi ʻia nā pahu i ka mea hoʻokani jazz ʻo Omar Hakim.
E hoʻomanaʻo i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ke kālā no ka mea ʻole, kahi ma mua o ka haki ʻana o ke kīkā kaulana, kūkulu ʻia ka synth shaft a me ke kuʻi pahu - a no laila ua haki ʻia ka percussion e Williams.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka moʻolelo hana mana i ka pūnāwai o 1985 a lanakila i ka honua holoʻokoʻa me ka ʻole. ʻO nā mele he nui mai ka album i lawe i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe loa ma nā palapala: ʻo ka mea mua, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kālā no ka mea ʻole, ʻo ka lua, ʻo Brothers in Arms a me Walk of Life.
ʻO ke mele "Money for the Wind", i haku ʻia e Mark Knopfler me ke kākoʻo o Sting, ua lanakila ʻo Grammy.
ʻO ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana o Brothers In Arms ma muli o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia ka CD mua ma ka mōʻaukala i paʻi ʻia i hoʻokahi miliona kope.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka hana i hoʻolalelale i ke ʻano CD a hāʻawi iā ia me ke alakaʻi ma waena o nā media leo no nā makahiki he nui e hiki mai ana.
He lanakila nui ka huakaʻi i kākoʻo i ka album. Ma ke ala, ʻo ka ʻaha mele mua loa o ka huakaʻi i mālama ʻia ma Yugoslav Split, ʻaʻole ma ʻEnelani a i ʻole ma kahi ʻē aʻe ma Western Europe.
I ka wā o ka hana ʻana ma ka home, ua komo ka hui i ka hanana aloha maikaʻi loa ʻo Live Aid ma ke ala.
Ua hīmeni ʻo Dire Straits i ʻelua mele: Sultans of Swing and Money For Nothing with Sting. Ua pau ka huakaʻi honua ma Sydney (Australia), kahi i hoʻokumu ai ka Dire Straits i kahi moʻolelo hoʻokō piha - 16 hōʻike i nā pō 20.
Ua lanakila ʻo "Brothers in Arms" i ka lehulehu a me nā ʻāina ʻē: 9 mau pule ma ka piko o ka papa inoa album Billboard - ʻaʻole kēia he hoʻohenehene iā ʻoe!
ʻAe, ʻaʻole pono e hōʻemi ʻia ka wikiō MTV kaulana no ka mea maikaʻi loa mai ka album:
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia, ʻaʻole naʻe mau loa
He mea naʻauao ke hahau ʻana i ka wā e wela ana ka hao a hoʻomaka e hoʻopaʻa i ka disc aʻe. Akā ua hoʻopau ʻo Mark Knopfler i ka hui no ka hana solo a me ke kākau mele no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
Ua hui hou nā kāne ma kahi ʻaha mele no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka makahiki 70 o Nelson Mandela ma Iune 11, 1988, a ʻekolu mahina ma hope o ka hoʻolaha ʻia ʻana o ka hui.
ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua komo ʻo Dire Straits i ke kahua i kahi hōʻuluʻulu ola ʻē aʻe, kahi i hana ai ʻo Cliff Richards, Elton John, Genesis, Pink Floyd a me nā hōkū pōhaku honua he nui i hoʻohui ʻia iā lākou.
Album hou loa
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 91, ua hoʻoholo nā hoaaloha kahiko ʻo Mark Knopfler lāua ʻo John Illsley e hōʻuluʻulu hou i ka hui, e kono ana iā Alan Clark lāua ʻo Guy Fletcher e maopopo.
He nui nā mea hoʻokani pila i komo i loko o ka hui i kēia quartet, ma waena o ia mea e pono ai ke hōʻike i ka saxophonist Chris White, ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Phil Palmer, ka mea hoʻokani pahu Jeff Porcaro mai Toto.
Ua kūʻai ʻia ka album On Every Street i Kepakemapa 1991. ʻOiai no nā makahiki ʻeono ua hala ka poʻe pā iā Dire Straits a ʻaʻole i kakali hou i ka lohe ʻana i kahi mea hou mai iā ia, ua ʻike ʻia ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole mālama ʻia nā loiloi.
Ma hoʻokahi UK wale nō i hiki ai ka moʻolelo i ka laina mua, akā i ka USA ua ʻoluʻolu me ke kūlana ʻumikūmālua wale nō.
I ka wā lōʻihi, ua piʻi nui ka waiwai o ka hana hope o ka hui, a ma hope o kekahi mau makahiki, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo me ka wiwo ʻole: he kumu hoʻohālike kēia o nā mele pop hou.
