You should also listen the master acoustic guitarist, Leo Kottke in his duet with Emmylou on "Julie's House", viewable on YT. Her characteristic voice is more defined in that performance.
What a legendary harmony of all the instruments with this song. Especially the violin and accordion adds up a lot. Kudos to all the great musicians. ❤️
Mark Knopfler you'd think would be arrogant with all of his success,but you'd be dead wrong. Mark is down to earth,extremely intelligent,and is very respectful to whom he speaks. I really like those traits in people.
@@UschiGlögglerMan könnte denken, Mark wäre arrogant mit all seinem Erfolg, aber das ist total falsch. Mark ist sehr bodenständig, intelligent und respektvoll zu allen mit denen er spricht. Ich mag diese Eigenschaft bei Menschen. - Und ein "Bitte übersetzen" wäre ebenfalls respektvoll gewesen. Trotzdem: gern geschehen!
That's one of the things that I love about him, telling these stories. Like his "Sailing to Philadelphia"! Tells a true story about US history that l never heard! He taught journalism before he had success with his music, and that maybe explains why his songs tell us our stories. "Brothers ln Arms" is about the Falklands 'war'.
A "Universal Soldier" who said, "I'm done" ! Wow what a proud legacy in your family ! If only more young men would all say "I'm Done" Then leaders would have to just 'duke it out' with their fists, and leave the rest of humanity alone. Peace !
Oh, he absolutely does write very topical songs, which is understandable because he taught journalism as well as working at it, before he had success with music!
Какие реальные.? Что Наполеон Напал на Россию? Что была Бородинская битва. Что был мороз градусов. Что вошли в горящую Москву. Что ночевать и есть было нечего. Сьели всех собак и кошек и крыс. И побежали домой. По старой смоленской. Мороз минус 37 град. Доели всю дохлятину. И переправилось через Реку Березина всего несколько тысяч. А было 600тыс солдат Про это что ли реальность?
As a former French officer that got bitter about his government's policies, this song has always been talking directly to my feelings. It captures the horrors of war, the glory of the battles and the bitterness that this combination leads to. Soldiers some time realize that there's something fundamentally wicked in training so hard in discipline, honor, tradition, service and sacrifice to put what we are at the service of people who are the opposite of these values. Thanks Mark Knopfler for, in two words, underlying the beauty of France "the flower of the Aquitaine", the region I lived most of my life. If we should change our national anthem, I believe "Done with Bonaparte" should be candidate, as a warning to all politicians, gurus, clergymen or any other kind of power thirsty tyrants that we are done with them.
Emmylou's voice in the chorus is a caress and a lament. The best version I've heard of this, one of my favorite Mark Knopfler songs. Improving it was possible, incredible but true.
How cool that Mark writes a song that is an Anti-War song about soldiers who suffeed about 200 years ago under Napoleon Bonaparte. It makes the message all the more universal, and that in war nothing ever seems to change. And here we are again in 2023 with all hell breaking loose. This song even more important today.
I only love and listen to classical music (Bach Rameau Mozart Rachmaninoff Brahms etc), I am a classical music junk, all my live, i am 57 years old, but sometimes I listen to Mark Knopfler with Emmylou Harris, great music and for me also classical music, this is like a modern opera. Greetings from the Netherlands
Absolutely fantastic. Wow!!! Mark knopfler is a standalone powerhouse but coupled with the great Emmylou Harris is like dynamite setting off. Controlled, exquisite coordinated explosions. And the supporting cast is just phenomenal. Mark's longtime drummer is reliable and steadfast as the anything. Bravo!!
I have never served in the military, but grew up in a military family and have spent my life studying Napoleon and other great generals. This song never fails to bring me to tears. Just goes to show that War is not just hell on the killing fields, but in the hearts of those that served. "Every subject's duty is the king's; but every subject's soul is his own." Henry V. God Bless the servicemen and the bards that tell their tales long after the dust of their bones has settled.
"Follow Me! I am the infantry!" We did what we thought was right and paid the price every day since. No regrets. We learned so much more than we lost and we lost so very much.
I saw this band on the Roadrunning tour in Washington, DC. The musicians in this group were among the best I've ever seen & heard live. This version of Bonaparte is fabulous.
Yes , the "Little Big Man" committed horrors , as many other people with the sin of pride , but he is also the man who brought out his nation of the misery , straightened France as no one had ever done before by giving it laws that are still applied in all constitutions around the world. He was a genius in many ways. This is why he will always be a source of pride for my country and in the heart of every French person.
Amazing! This guy can put out ten different versions of the same song, and every one is better than the others. It seems there is no limit to his talent.
Done with Bonaparte? How bout DS and Mark Knopler's music...For decades Ive been listening to their songs, over and over and over and over again. Doesnt matter how many times I play it. This music brings tears in my eyes, can't listen to it anymore. Im done with Mark! ;-)
I’m raised with this song written by Ian Anderson and the band Jetro Tull Driving in the daily trips to work it was always on the car stereo. I know the song note by note. Needless to say i didn’t bother to play it my self . Thanks for sharing your perfect version. Now I will pickup my guitar to see if I can master it like you. ❤
Mark and his music is like the finest wine, that just seem to get better and better with age. Like he says in one of his concerts, his songs mark milestones in our lives..
Bravo mark encore une superbe musique et chanson vraiment tu est le boss de toute catégorie musique chanson et très bon groupe merci encore mark❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't know about this war. Told from the viewpoint of one of the "winners". Mark can make history come alive with his beautiful lyrics and music!!! Je t'aime beaucoup cette chanson!!
When Mark and Emmylou sing together, it sounds like heaven.
And they each sound heavenly on their own!
Sometimes I cry when I hear them. So beautiful.
Best version

Beautiful!!!
Damn that must be fun for those musicians absolutely fantastic stuff!!!
The accordion really blended well 😊😊😊
We know and love Mark in Russia
But are you done with your little corporal?
And u? With yours? Our corporals are the same.
Awesome Rhythm section, the guitars Really blended nicely 😊😊😊
What a blend of musical instruments. Nice

Вы лично знакомы?
He tells stories yall ❤
What a talented lady ELH is and she has simply got better with age like a fine wine.
Emmy Lou enhances everything.
I am (68yr) dancing with this number with my husband...so awesome really. I love it. March 11, 2022.
Long life to u ❤
I've met Mark socially a few times and he is a superstar without an ego
His music will live on it doesn't age.
I know it
So jealous of you.... truly..
He was married to my sister for 11 years. Regrettably they divorced. Anyway, I agree. He’s a fine human being. Modest to a fault. Stay safe.
💥
@@OldSal-d8h how many children does Mark have?
What a sense of history Mark Knopfler has! He's written lyrics often about the tragedy of war.
And someone needs to. We have enough Silly Love Songs.
@@dongeorge4037Absolutely!
That's one of the things that I love about him, telling these stories. Like his "Sailing to Philadelphia"! Tells a true story about US history that l never heard!
He taught journalism before he had success with his music, and that maybe explains why his songs tell us our stories. "Brothers ln Arms" is about the Falklands 'war'.
Song for Sonny Liston is amazing storytelling
One of my ancestors was 'Done with Bonaparte.' He fled France, deserting or avoiding Bonaparte's conscription, and traveled to Sweden.
And right he was !
A "Universal Soldier" who said, "I'm done" ! Wow what a proud legacy in your family ! If only more young men would all say "I'm Done" Then leaders would have to just 'duke it out' with their fists, and leave the rest of humanity alone. Peace !
Just perfect, as it always was. The music, the lyrics, the pace and rhythm, the BAND!!!, Emmylou and Mark. May you play forever.
One of the things I love about Mark is that he performs music that is not only great, but it’s about real things.
Oh, he absolutely does write very topical songs, which is understandable because he taught journalism as well as working at it, before he had success with music!
@@AlicedeTocqueville I did not know of his background! Thank you.
Exactly. I've learned alot of history from him and it wasn't boring!
Какие реальные.?
Что Наполеон Напал на Россию?
Что была Бородинская битва.
Что был мороз градусов.
Что вошли в горящую Москву.
Что ночевать и есть было нечего.
Сьели всех собак и кошек и крыс.
И побежали домой.
По старой смоленской.
Мороз минус 37 град.
Доели всю дохлятину.
И переправилось через Реку Березина всего несколько тысяч.
А было 600тыс солдат
Про это что ли реальность?
From this same concert, be sure to hear "Speedway at Nazareth"!
Love how he always smiles. He knows his lane and respects others
He is the best....

Eloquent. Thanks. All the Best .....
Tim L 100% respect and thanks for your service , I completely agree with your comment .
Sir, I could not have stated it better. God bless.
Mais La Marseillaise!
No group has this much talent assembled in one band !
Emmylou's voice in the chorus is a caress and a lament.
The best version I've heard of this, one of my favorite Mark Knopfler songs.
Improving it was possible, incredible but true.
That's true (Emmylou) a female version of Mark.❤❤❤
Mr Knopfler is a GENIUS, no other word for him.
His music will always be with us, as will Mr Presley.
Both beautiful human beings....
ELH: A voice like no other, a generational talent, and so beautiful inside and out. ❤
Same with MK.
Thank you Mark
Mark is 72 years old now and still going strong Bless him 💖💕❤️💞❤️❤️
No fancy clothes or wild special effects
They don't need any their music so good!!
Just when you think that Mark knopfler cannot get any better...this comes along.
I've listened to this more than a dozen times, and I still can't get enough! Bonaparte just grows on you.
Please wait two or three more weeks, Ridley Scott's working on it :)

@@sebastienaubry8481 i feel sorry for you xDDD
Still same soldiers followed him 3 years later from Elba to Waterloo.
What an incredible song. I love the sound of Mark and Emmylou’s voices singing together is wonderful. Thank you so much for your music.
Just great to see the whole band jamming and clearly enjoying the experience.
Thank God for intelligent songwriting.
A warning to anyone tempted to put their leaders (Right, Left or Centre) up on a pedestal.
Thank you You Tube
Fantastic
My grandson is studying Napoleonic battles,and I wanted him to hear this great song.
Back again today. I still have no doubt that this performance is the best version of this amazing song.
Thank you for you tube . This is the kind of music I wish we had in radio. There is so much more great music that we do not get.

Mark is a fine man!
They do play well together.
Great, Man!
A true story teller like there are very few that made it to world famous status.
He’s a gift to the world.
Wonderful love classical music happy listening Wayne in ecclefecan Scotland 🙏🙏🙏
I've always loved how much the band seems to be enjoying themselves...probably helps I love Mark's "history" songs so much.
Truly brilliant peacemaking song. Love Mark, Emmyilou and everyone

This has blessed me tonight. 10/9/24
Excelente!!!
Damn I've never heard anything like this in all my life😍, this is by far the greatest song I've ever heard❤.
i never thought i'd understand how someone would make a comment like this ... but I do now.
Y'all ought to check out railroad earth if you like this
"No comment!
but I love it...
The whole band is just sailing. Still loving the in the northwest USA.
great version, so rich musically...the instrumets put together..pure pleasure
I saw this band on the Roadrunning tour in Washington, DC. The musicians in this group were among the best I've ever seen & heard live. This version of Bonaparte is fabulous.
The best music is made by people who are having fun doing it, and everyone up on that stage looks like they're having a ball.
Furious Sherman ...exuberance...
Excellent comment!
Great comment.
You’re so right. Good to see Puck still with Mark. Stay safe.

Emmylou's voice certainly adds something nice to this song.
That violin is also very on point
Soulful music is beautiful deep sadness to. To know the laughter you must knowledge of sadness too.
What talent this Mark Knopfler and what humility above all..!!!
The lyrics..the tempo..and the melody of this song simply blow away one's senses. knofpler, elh and the rest of the ensemble are simply amazing.
Rainier Esguerra ...Heavenly
Yes, and the text...!!
And add Emmy Lou Harris to the mix and it shines even brighter!
@@codyluka8355 So true.
What a great piece of music.
I am Corsican but I love this Song !
I love how Emmylou just slides in a perfect embellishment. Just right. Incredible.
All star band right there folks, some of the best pickers in Nashville, they've appeared on hundreds of albums
They don't come any better than Stuart do they
There are not many songs that made me cry but this one did mutiple times stunning work
Really. Amen.
@@stevenbeeney Add in EmmyLou and I tear up every time. Can't help singing the harmonies, either. :)
@@mattiavelli The violin at the end 😢
I am from Bangladesh Dhaka 🇧🇩my 50years age..amazing Mark knopfler really good singer KING SIR
I’m glad to see recent comments. This was a great collaboration, albeit very underrated.
One of the many wonderful things about this performance is watching the joy in the faces of these masters as they collaborate on a masterpiece.
Amazing! This guy can put out ten different versions of the same song, and every one is better than the others. It seems there is no limit to his talent.
Not seems, it's TRUE!
Oh oui c vrai.....
Making life meaningful.. Healing souls and bodies... Bless u mark
I play this song about 4or5 times a day
War and Peace is my favorite book.
It's Characters are so real to me .I love Andrei .This song is phenomenal

The assembled musicians smile, exuding love and joy as they transport us on a beautiful and poignant ride that opens the heart.
Mark, you don't know how much peace your music instills in me. Thank you.... Thank you... Thank you.
No, it’s real life, involves pain, loss, but hope for a better future.

When these two voices come together, it's magic. Terrific tune!

In my opinion , one of the Very BEST anti-war songs ever written.
Big up, Marko !
With brothers in arms
@@marjorielaure4987 hell yeah, especially Wimbledon Mandela 70th Birthday. A hell of solo. Goosebombs everywhere
I have to get out of the house to do couple of things on this Sunday and this damn music doesn't let me! Have listened to 10 times since morning.
Love Knopfler's references to history. That the amazing songwriting of course.
What can I say- simply spectacular!
Superb, simply superb!

As this was from his first album as Mark Knopfler this song grabbed me first. The entire album is gold.
How good is this music, quite amazing Mark Knopfler is a magical entertainer
Emmy Lou adds so much. An angelic voice to bless the soul.
Mark is , of course her mate here. He is prophetic.
