Also during 1982 and 1983, Dire Straits’ frontman Mark Knopfler was involved with composing the music score for David Puttnam's film "Local Hero", in which Lindes also performed. It was at this point that he discovered a passion for composing film soundtracks. Lindes toured with Dire Straits for their 1982-1983 Love over Gold Tour. The band's double live album "" was a recording of excerpts from the final two concerts from that tour at London's Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983, featuring Lindes, and was released in March 1984.
