ĭuring the Love over Gold Tour, Dire Straits added keyboardist Tommy Mandel, saxophonist Mel Collins and percussionist Joop de Korte to their touring lineup, all of whom were featured on the live release Alchemy: Dire Straits Live.
Withers remained until shortly after the completion of the band's fourth album Love over Gold (released in September 1982) at which point he left and was replaced by former Rockpile drummer Terry Williams. After the album was released in October 1980, Hal Lindes was announced as Knopfler's replacement, while Alan Clark was added as the band's first keyboardist. David Knopfler left the group during the recording of their third album Making Movies in July 1980, following an argument with Mark which prompted him to return to the UK and start a solo career. The band released their first two studio albums, Dire Straits and Communiqué, in 19, respectively. Dire Straits were formed in June 1977 by Mark and David Knopfler, John Illsley and Pick Withers.
