Wow. I've never heard of Reckless Kelly, and while I like some country music, not my main genre. This blew me away. The guitar solo near the end was spectacular. Time to check out a little more of his stuff!
Been a fan for years. Love the Red Dirt scene. Go see these guys when they get back out on the road. One of the few bands we will travel hundreds of miles to see. RK road trips are the best.
Aside from being a great band with their own great songs ; hese guys have great taste in covers. For a real treat check out their version of the great Richard Thompson's 1952 St. Vincent ......blew me away!
This song always had the ability to fold right into the country genre since the moment Mark recorded it on a resonator guitar. It's a timeless piece that not many can cover and do the song its true justice... these guys got closer than most.
Until seeing this for the first time, I just thought Crazy Eddies Last Hurrah was my favorite song. Awesome cover . Wish there was a download on iTunes
HOWDY FOLKS, please humor this good ol boy. Here is a mark of an absolute hall of fame TEXAS/RED DIRT band. Everytime these fellows do an original song every hair on your body stands on end, then the same fellows cover a song I've loved since I was a young boy in the 80's and tears start flowing. The first time I had the pleasure of seeing them was in Waco TX, and Austin TX way back in nineteen hundred and ninety eight. RECKLESS KELLY FOR LIFE
@@karenrycheck3213 David left the band last year. He wanted to get off the road and spend more time with his family. He’s focused on producing now. Just glad I got to see them live while he was still with the band. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Could never be as good the original as Mark Knopfler lived the song. He wrote it about an ex-girlfriend and every verse describes an incident from that relationship. Only he can relive those emotions when he sings it.
I tell u what that Ryan engelman blah blah he's good from troubadours But don't u ever ever sit there and compare him to David abeyta!!! So much amazing improvizing talent he has!

Reckless Kelly is amazing! Until you hear these guys live, you haven't heard the best!
First time I saw them was at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas, near New Braunfels. Fantastic show, especially in the oldest dance hall in Texas!
Probably one of the best covers I've heard so far
The greatest rock ballad of all time!!...
Greatness.
There are no words to express how much I love this video,
Absolutely brilliant. ❤❤❤❤
I can listen to this over and over and over......

More like Americana or indie rock, Reckless are one of the finest live acts on the scene. They deserve a wider audience and more critical recognition.
This could be a country hit for sure !

TRUTH 👆
RKs version of Vincent black lighting is the greatest song on earth IMO.
1000%!
Best cover of this timeless classic I ever heard
Beautiful version of this classic
He's got that magic touch. Could listen to it for hours.
One of my favorites by Dire Straits. Awesome cover!
Amazing cover of an amazing song by an amazing band...
Not been here for a while guys but back tonight as this song/band is a place that brings me comfort ... great band
Absolutely a fantastic cover ! Willie's voice works so well for this song and Mark well enough said great job gentleman.
Likely the greatest cover I’ve ever heard.
He kills Vincent black lightning as well. Dude is so talented
I realize I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online ?
great, so emotional. what a brilliant band, listen to their albums
Very nice! David Abeyta is an awesome guitar player! RK is one of the best bands out there

Don't ever stop, guys! Don't ever stop.
Beautifully done man, great job
Absolutely great! Drummer was awesome!
That's Jay Nazz. He's fantastic.
Man willie Braun is such a great musician. RK kicks ass
Superbe interprétation !!!
I used to mix a band that did this this rather power ballad style. This is so good to hear.

I know what you mean about the hair standing on end!!
Absolutely amazing.
Awesome
awesome guys. damn awesome. enjoyed it a lot. cheers.
Fantastic vocal !!
A very good performance, this is a really hard one to cover and you nailed it.👍👍👍👍👍
spud train spotting hardly difficult to cover better because Mark knofler can not sing in tune to save his life but I do agree this is a great cover
So agree.this is "BEAUTIFUL"!😄😄👍👍👍❤🍷
great voice good job !
Heard a few versions of this song, and this the absolute BEST
I really enjoyed this. I hope it's a regular part of your shows.
Not sure how may times they've done it live but I've seen RK at least 70 times and have never heard them play it live.
Love to have been at that show
Thank you , one of my favorites by my pals Dire Straits :)
Wonderful
Smashed it guys!
Really good voice
Right on !!!!
great song!
Brilliant
beautiful
RK rules
great job guys
I'm not a country fan, but i like your version, well done. The killers version live at abbey road is brilliant !
Great video
Of course they kill it. The only band to ever make Richard Thompson's motorbike go vrooooooom....
I mixed a band in the mid-90s whose arrangement was eerily like this RK version. Which is a great thing.
Wow!
Great¡¡¡¡
this is quite nice
I love the Spinal Tap moment when the Ampeg starts to hum. Call it schadenfreude.
Somebody should tell Willie that he needs to finger-pick that song. :P
Excellent work as always, gentlemen!
So is there a version of this available for download somewhere? Only seen it on UA-cam and I love it.
Saw them live to do this...
Good effort, very respectful of the original.
Quality,.
Man, if these fans went nuts for this outro solo, they would be blown away by a Phish 'Harry Hood' jam! This was definitely a good cover, though!
That violin tho 🤯
He sat on his bed, he strummed his guitar and he sang an outlaw love song.
nice job on this classic. Works really well as a country song, it really is a country song written in the wrong era.
😍
Thought I'd commented on this when watching but realised I'd only liked it...apologies...this is great
From the uk btw
Are they still playing this now that Abeyta is gone? I’ve seen Willy play it solo but not in a long time.
What happened to Abeyta? I've been listening to him since 1st grade guitar mass!

They have to include this, I heard it once live with Abeyta...they just have to keep playing it...it’s timeless.
Fuckin goergeous boys.....and im a fan from the old Austin days......keep on a hick-rockin........
Wow. Unbelievably good. Dare I say just as good as the original or better in its own way ?
C'mon man...
Still killing it in 2020, so there is something good to hear besides the daily turmoil people mindlessly march to..
Three men doing Mark Knopfler. I still love them reckless boys.
Please play this the next time you play The Cains Ballroom.
Yes. Even better than the original. Exquisite musicianship. You guys rock!
Could never be as good the original as Mark Knopfler lived the song. He wrote it about an ex-girlfriend and every verse describes an incident from that relationship. Only he can relive those emotions when he sings it.
Love this song but Mark Knofler went to the Dylan school of tuneful singing where as this version man some one who sings in tune kills it
Not only Mark K, but Will S. from Stratford-upon-Avon would be proud as well me thinks;-)
My post didn't show my love for this. LOVE
I tell u what that Ryan engelman blah blah he's good from troubadours
But don't u ever ever sit there and compare him to David abeyta!!! So much amazing improvizing talent he has!
Good, but I think no one can replace Mark Knopf for that song
lexus
Doesn't come close to the version by Mark and Emmy Lou.....Check that out!
rhtym not true
Better than Dire Straits
Eerrrmmmm no, still a good cover
That's insane
sounds so wrong ,wrong key ,,oh no
