"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" was the song that broke Eurythmics around the world, the title track of the duo's second album, written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart and released by RCA in January 1983 as its fourth and last single. They made it in a little project studio in the attic of the North London warehouse they lived in, an early sign of musicians trading big studios for home recording.

It has never left the stage since. Eurythmics have played it in every one of their live sets, it was already on Top of the Pops by February 1983, and Lennox often brings it out on her solo tours as well. This live take is the song in its natural habitat, turned loose in front of a crowd.
