From Discogs: King Biscuit presents a collection of live tracks from two different Dire Straits performances. Tracks A4 & A5 claim to have been recorded during the 1983 Prince's Trust Concert, however, close examination of the music reveals they were actually recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon on 22–23 July 1983. These two tracks were eventually released on the official album Dire Straits - Alchemy - Dire Straits Live. The remaining tracks were recorded at The Summit in Houston, Texas on 17 August 1985.
From Wikipedia: The King Biscuit Flower Hour was an American syndicated radio show presented by the D.I.R. Radio Network that featured concert performances by various rock music recording artists. The program was broadcast on Sunday nights from 1973 until 2005, although new programming ceased in 1993 and previous shows were repeated from that point. During its prime, the program was carried by more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. The show's name was derived from the influential blues radio show King Biscuit Time, which was sponsored by the King Biscuit Flour Co., combined with the hippie phrase "flower power". The concerts were usually recorded with a mobile recording truck, then mixed and edited for broadcast on the show within a few weeks. In the 1970s, the show was sent to participating radio stations on reel-to-reel tape. In 1980, D.I.R. began using the LP format, producing the show on a three-sided, two-record set. The first show on compact disc was a live retrospective of the Rolling Stones broadcast on September 27, 1987. By 2000, King Biscuit was using CD-R media to distribute the show. These tapes, records or compact discs were accompanied by a cue sheet which gave the disc jockey a written guideline of the content and length of each segment of the program.
