The On Every Street Tour was the final concert tour by British rock band Dire Straits, supporting their sixth and final album, On Every Street. It lasted from 23 August 1991 to 9 October 1992, and included 229 shows in 19 countries throughout Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. The world tour sold 7.1 million tickets.
The tour lineup included Mark Knopfler (guitar, vocals), John Illsley (bass, backing vocals), Guy Fletcher (keyboards, backing vocals), Alan Clark (keyboards), Chris White (saxophone, flute, backing vocals), Paul Franklin (pedal steel guitar), Danny Cummings (percussion), Phil Palmer (guitar, backing vocals), and Chris Whitten (drums).
"The last tour was utter misery," said manager Ed Bicknell. "Whatever the zeitgeist was that we had been part of, it had passed." "Personal relationships were in trouble and it put a terrible strain on everybody, emotionally and physically," agreed Illsley. "We were changed by it."
Concerts in Nîmes, France and Rotterdam, The Netherlands were recorded in May 1992 and released in 1993 on the live album On The Night.
