Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Mark Knopfler (lead guitar, lead vocals), Eric Clapton (Rhythm guitar), Phil Collins (drums), Sting (backing vocals) performing the Dire Straits song written by Mark Knopfler "Money for Nothing" live on 15 September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall in honor of the fact that on September 21, 1985, With the help Of heavy MTV exposure 'Money For Nothing' gave Dire Straits their first US No.1 single."

Music For Montserrat was a benefit concert held on 15 September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall. Musicians came together to raise funds for the Caribbean island of Montserrat after a major volcanic eruption by the Soufrière Hills volcano earlier that year left the island, including its capital of Plymouth, devastated.

The concert was arranged and produced by George Martin; proceeds from the show and DVD were used for immediate relief and also helped fund the building of a new cultural centre in Montserrat. On its completion in 2006, George Martin gifted the centre to the islanders.
