@@michealwolf4295 nah the bass player is John Ilsley. David Knopfler was the band's original rhythm guitarist but he'd left by the time of this concert and it's Hal Lindes playing second guitar to Mark Knopfler's lead.
This was Terry Williams, and not his first show with them. Terry's father was in the audience so he gave it a little more energy than usual. He kept speeding it up, notice Mark kept looking back at him.
No, he joined Dire Straits a year before that concert took place, he was on the Love over gold tour prior to Alchemy. It was the first time his old man had seen him in concert though, reason he put on such a good show.
This was from last couple of shows from the Love Over Gold tour. The album was titled Alchemy. Incredible performance and Terry Williams had performed on the whole tour of course. This epic performance was from the work of an utterly well oiled machine. There was only one Dire Straits and they were on a different level to most other bands. Headed by the virtuoso Mark Knopfler.
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗 What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
Yes! Around the 5:40 mark on original video the way Mark smirks when he's gettin after his solo... Like he knows he's a bada$$ about to melt minds is priceless and watching them jump around towards the end reminds me of The Peanuts 😂
After listening to the studio version - playing the album (which was released in 1978...) so often it started skipping... being at this performance in person (in July 1983, at the Hammersmith Odeon, in London, UK...) was an unforgettable experience... Thank You for keeping great music alive!💕
"Live" performance with no over-dubs or auto-tune or electronic re-takes . . The way we did it in the 1950's, '60;s '70's & 80's for 4 hours a night 6 nights a week - -
The studio version, the one that was played on the radio, was shorter and less elaborate. This live performance was for an audience that already knew that one, so the band had to add something to make a concert ticket worth it. Mark Knopfler, the one in red with the headband, is 74 years old now and still recording. He put out a new album in April 2024... it's less about speed and more about other kinds of intensity. He has retired from touring, but not from writing and recording. He even owns a professional recording studio in London.
1st time i heard this was in 1977 when it was just a demo tape sent out to DJ,s to play it they didnt have a contract back then and become one of the best bands from the 80,s till the 2000.s
Magic happens while of enjoy to doing music with passion , flow and for shure great creation by Knowledge . The chemistry between the entire band was breathtaking that Time .I would rank Mark Knopfler among Unic's top guitarists, there is no way to copy that style. Left hand like Jimi but playing righthand 3-Fingerstyle , singing like Bob Dylan but different . What a treasure of musical creativity was given to us by God's grace at this time. Unique, epic, enchanting, harmonious and full of dreams that needed to be lived. Even Mozart would have enjoyed their way of telling a story with harmonies. It is more than music , it's like a prayer's speech , follow your heart and don't lose the way !
Obviously the young lady didn't like it but hey, who care?? I just LOVED DIRE STRAITS, especially Sultans of Swing. Another of theirs I love is 'Walk of life' especially on the video. I'm SURE you would like it!!💖💖💖😼😼
I loved it. They are not together as a group, as generally happens with most bands. But Mark Klopfler writes the songs notice, he was not using a pick. He was plucking the strings. Everyone's taste in music is different, so you have the right to like something else.
Maybe there is a generation who have not experienced this kind of musicianship and who can only respond to stage or studio stuff that is now over produced, synthesised and a little plastic, that would be a pity.
@@Isleofskye I have an excuse mate, I am 83, lol but really, my memory good, just the fingers are not working properly and me, being a newspaper worker and using a computer for years. But, at least I can still laugh at myself. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not a tenth of the guitarist that Mark Knopfler is (I think I'm a better lead singer, although he fits just fine in Dire Straits), and when I was playing and singing several times every week about 40-20 years ago, I had to sand my left hand fingertips every two weeks or so just, so I could fret the strings without looking at the strings. I imagine Mark has to do the same on both hands. I wrote the songs for my second and most successful band, The Uninvited,band, a more metal band, and we started our sets with a song called Necronomicon: in the first part, I would do a pick scratch all the way down the bottom E sting from 14th fret to first: my plectrum lasted maybe three gigs and two practices. To this day, I still carry a full tin of plectra at age 61 for my latest, a more conventional band called After Dark. My plectra last ages, because it's not a metal or hard rock band (it pays better). But I still need to sand the fingertips on my left hand every month or so. But I'll bet a million pounds to a pinch of p*ss that Mark does it multiple times a month. He never needs to look at his strings to know where he is. The one thing we share is: you have to suffer for your art. I would give my right testicle for a reaction like that Dire Straits did that day (I'm glad to say I was there), But it doesn't stop me trying.
How sad, i’ve watched 50 different reactions to this performance , It may be the best live rock performance of all time. Go back to your less complicated mumble rap
Terry Williams the drummer took this tune to a stratospheric level 👊👏🔥
I love Terry's drumming. I remember it from his days as the drummer with the Welsh band, Man. I have never witnessed a better rock drummer.
Yes, so good!!
Thanks for the drummers name, I've watched that performance dozens of times and the drummer blew me away, every single time!
Agreed
They all did!
Drums are out of this world !!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!
First time, ever, in my life, to come across someone, male or female, that was not moved by this song. Stunning...
Evidence that the current generation is devolving! Can’t handle more than 20 second TikToks. Such a shame.
She does not get it!
Period.
Let her go listen to Michael Jaxon or whatever

Don’t do that. You’re judging her on cultural behavioral norms you know nothing about. Yes, she’s loving it.
@@Steve-gx9ot
FYI It’s spelled Michael Jackson.
...and he is not playing with a pick, he is fingerplaying with the right hand... 😍
And Mark is left-handed.
The original guitar played with just finger too. And bassist is lead singer brother.

Unfortunately he was sacked by Mark for the bia album as I think he refused to change his style
He was never sacked he was there till the end
@@leighplant3593 Sacked? The only sacking I heard of at that time was the sacking of Andy Bradbury which was unjust...😥😥
I deeply miss these kind of concerts!
How can you play the guitar so well while you're just smiling looking at people and not even looking at your guitar.
indeed. his smile looks like pure joy.
You can if you are Mark Knopfler. Brilliant guitar finger picker.
And he is left handed lol
you know you're a good band when the crowd becomes your metronome.
Underrated comment 💚
I'm amazed anyone would find this outstanding performance "too much," but I suppose there's a first for everything when it comes to great music.
from an era where they actually could play instruments...
Those were the days!
They certainly were. What a band!
No overdubs or other "fixes" to this recording either. This was just how good they were.
I'm sooo grateful, that I was born early enough, to liv through this times...
Dude don't be that guy lol. I'm also from this era but there will always be great players that dude from Polyphia as an example from today
Crowd got there money's worth that night!
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising.
It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗
What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
If you can’t be moved in some way! You’re dead!
Yes! Around the 5:40 mark on original video the way Mark smirks when he's gettin after his solo... Like he knows he's a bada$$ about to melt minds is priceless and watching them jump around towards the end reminds me of The Peanuts 😂
This is the first time I’ve seen these reviewers. It will also be the last time.
Incredible band!!!
The very best of British music. 🙂
British / WOrld....
Good british music, buy not the best of it
Beautiful smile young lady.
Loved dire straits, this is a MASTERPIECE
Because you can’t assimilate all the wonderful detail of this performance doesn’t diminish the brilliance of MK and Dire Straights.

Genius, we're blessed to see hear this!
Her reaction is Knopflerish..very internal, no need to demonstrate..awesome.
I think I learned that LEARNT IS a real word! Tank u
I'm shocked; i thought she was really enjoying it.
"Private Investigations", the live version from their concert in Nimes, France in 1992 is one of the songs to check out! It's amazing!
MAGNÍFICO ❤👏🏽
Knopfler is a music god! Do you realise how hard the main guitar solo is to play?
Go for Brother In Arms LIVE - On The Night and be prepared to cry along with his guitar...
He knows he nailed it!!
1st time i heard this was in 1977 when it was just a demo tape sent out to DJ,s to play it they didnt have a contract back then and become one of the best bands from the 80,s till the 2000.s

Mark K is the best fingerpicking guitarists you'll ever hear.
Now David Gilmore is number one but mark to play that way is incredible
The drum kit was taken off on a stretcher, immediately after this performance in critical condition. Thankfully , it pulled through.
sound of heaven
Two people with no musical knowledge, and quite possible no soul either. This is a masterpiece.
Thank you, I love this video!!!!
Maybe there is a generation who have not experienced this kind of musicianship and who can only respond to stage or studio stuff that is now over produced, synthesised and a little plastic, that would be a pity.
I think what she needs to hear that would suit her tastes more would be:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited)
GOD himself is playing that guitar....
I wish I could have been there
This version of SOS should pop-up when you google “IN THE POCKET.” I saw Dire Straits live in 1979 and they were pros. Period.
She'd like the studio version better!
A cliché has been revised: Africans have more music in their blood. At least not in this case.🤷♂️
Yes 1 of a kind
Héllo de France regarder aussi le live de Télégraph Road super 😊😊😊
There is a slower version recorded 10 or more years later you might like. I like the tempo better, but the guitar solo is missing.
Pure Rythym
She should hear the shorter hit version ....
She needs to hear Piper to the end 😉
Listen to these guys doing "Brothers in Arms".
If you din't move you sre not human
iif Mark Knofler is the best "finger pickin" guitarist on the planet, I don't know who is? Yes friends, he doesn't use a pick...just his fingers.
See the interview between Mark and Chet Atkins! 😮
You mean id Mark is NOT the best etc:)

Maybe you could also listen to the studio version of this song,which is much less involved.
Wonder how his brother feels (he is playing on the band mainly to his right) about I don't know something as @why can't i be as good as him?
Telegraph road live at Alchemy
👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
when u have a shty day just ... Diare Straits
I know you want a set of sticks in your hands... this drummer is driving the band...
Great reactions to great music.
Bassist is lead singer brother
Also, The Lead Singer is the brother of The Bassist..
You did not feel it. That`s ok, but I do not think it was the fault of the guitarist.

What a shame for you both. Maybe try Val Doonican singing I Remember You, it’s a bit slower.
Could you spell that
I guess the rap crap has got into her head!

this is art not music
Listening to this you realize how crap todays music is
It fell off a cliff in early 00's
🙄🙄
Somthing wrong with you
How many stupid bloody adverts can you fit into a fifteen minute video UA-cam? I'm gone.
Sorry but can't understand your attempt at speaking English 😢
How sad the song is too much for you.. 🥱. Actually for anyone who appreciates ROCK, This has to be one of the top 15 live performances ever.
