The sound of this version is just perfect. I cannot discribe how I think the Pensa sounds like the best guitar for this song. It's cries, it screams. Knopfler touches it so minimalistic but also unbelievably detailed... Chris Whitten is a master on the drums; tom-drops, crashes all over. This is Sultans of Swing on it's very best!
I love this version of this of classic rock music ! I first saw this video on TV long years ago! Thank you for posting this! Beautyful Pensa-Suhr guitar, great solo, wonderful sound and inspired improvisations. Knopfler is a real Master!
is there any way someone can make an mp3 of this and send it to me? I'm not too good with that kind of thing and i really want to have this song on cd. send me a message if you would be willing to do it.
Mark Knopfler, brilliant guitarist and master song writer. I wonder how far he'd get today with Simon Cowell the self appointed gatekeeper of the music industry? not past the first audition i'm guessing, Cowell and Co. couldn't spot talent if it were right under their noses the art of the song smith is completely ignored in his manufactured format. . I wonder how many Knopflers there are out there today that will never get a break.

Yeah, and it's wonderful how he can change songs, most of the times into the better.
This one and the Alchemy version are my favourites of this song.
Beauty Song amazing solo masterpiece
Best version out there
breathtaking-he is the one and only living legend who can play without a pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He never play his songs in the same way and he's always amazing. Listening to him you understand what the word "artist" means.
i wish i could handle just one thing in my life like mark can handle the guitar. life would be as perfect as it can be.
The real best 💖💖💖💖💖💖
