Mark, if you read this you were my dads favourite and our house was always playing you through the 80s and 90s. He passed away last year and we played you at his funeral. Thank you for touching so many lives.
This was produced 7 years ago and I’m just now watching it. I’m so happy I found it. A true testament to Mark’s statement “Music will be a friend to you all your life”
Had a privilege to meet Mark & co. in spring 1985. in Split, Croatia, when they were preparing the Brothers In Arms world tour. What humble and kind guys they were and still are. Totally down the earth.
What a beautiful video... I grew up in Eastern Europe on bootlegged/pirated Dire Straits cassettes (what else?), picked up my older brother's guitar when I was 10 and still play today... and would you please look at the world now and how we lost all the legacy of hand made music with real people and real souls behind.
The most humble superstar ever... John, thx for this. My eyes are real wet now.. And it’s religious to me.. Sometimes I forget how much this music means to me.
Oscar deserving production. Full of memories, stories, history of rock’n roll and contains alot of emotion. Flows like water, finishes in a blink of an eye! Mark is the true legend of guitar. And such an inspiring person. Thank you John for your great efforts!
More guitar stories please. I’ve watched this 4 times now and will never tire of it. It lead me to Rudi's Music Store, cost me a fortune as I now own 3 Pensa guitars and had a wonderful afternoon with Rudy himself where he produced some of the finest guitars from his personal collection. I also played a genuine 1959 Gibson Les Paul, selling for $375k, through a vintage Fender Tweed amp. It all resulted in Rudy giving me a magnificent coffee table book on guitars with a wonderful personal message from him written in the cover. Everybody who visits New York must take a trip to the shop...
I see a lot of people were deeply affected by this video like I was. I think it has a lot to do with it not being just another hacknied, dime a dozen documentary. It's two dear old friends who've been through a lot and love and respect each other. It has to do with two men who never stopped being kind and heartfelt despite the fame and fortune. To me, this is the what makes this video a gem, a diamond in the rough.
Fantastico!!!
True guitar legend...

So glad you chose music over journalism Mark Knopfler. Life could have been so empty.
Love the way Mark refers to the efforts his Dad made to get him the first guitar, we all owe his dad great thanks for setting him on his journey.
"Romeo & Juliet " undoubtedly one of best love songs ever written ❤ Yhank You Mark

My heart skipped a beat when he started playing Romeo and Juliet- just amazing 👌
"Music will be a friend to you all your life." -- Mark Knopfler
That's me at the cash at
As a guitar builder of 40+ years this was a real joy to watch. Thank you.
When all is said and done, I believe that Mark Knopfler will be remembered as the Mozart of our day, Really!

My all time favourite band and guitarist.What makes him so special is his humility.Long Live the great,the supremely talented MK.
Imagine wlking down the street and seeing mark knopfler casually standing there drooling over a guitar in a displaywindow.
