Dire Straits deliver an unforgettable performance of “Telegraph Road.” Mark Knopfler’s mesmerizing guitar work and the band’s soulful energy will leave you spellbound! 🤯 The Telegraph Road is a major north-south 70 mile thoroughfare in Michigan. Mark Knopfler was inspired to write this song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road. At the time, Knopfler was reading the novel The Growth Of the Soil by the Nobel Prize winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun and he was inspired to put the 2 together and write a song about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades. This was a metaphor for the development of America and the ruining of one man's dreams in the wake of its decline, in particular focusing on unemployment. Hope you guys enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed it😊If you did please don't forget to smash that like 👍 & Subscribe 📺 Much Love 💜 Peace ✌ Happiness 😊 Shane ______________________________________________ Please feel free to leave music reaction recommendations in the comments below!

Check out Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Mandela Live 1988 (ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dire+straits+brothers+in+arms+live+nelson+mandela)... Since you are from South Africa, this may be relevant. It's another of their amazing performances. I hope you enjoy it
The pianist’s playing is elite (and I’m a pianist/singer songwriter). They have some of the best music you’ll ever hear. I love the Love Over Gold album. They are musicians musicians…. And by god they’re good. I had a lot of their stuff growing up. We had the best era of music we really did
I used to drive from Michigan to Buffalo. I had to go through Canada on Telegraph Rd. I would still my cassette my set tape in turn the music up loud I love Dire Straits especially the magical Marko
For me they are my favourite band and this is Marks masterpiece. The best live album I’ve heard is alchemy and the best gig I ever went to was Dire straits on every street tour in 1991. Romeo and Juliet is a brilliant. Tunnel of love Wembley 1985.
Always a message in Marks songs Shane. The whole band are great at playing their part and it all comes together. Alan Clarke on piano: well what can your say.
As I said, I was at Hammersmith for this. We didn't think they were going to play it because its such an epic complicated piece. They played it right at the end, it still gives me goose bumps. All of them were right on their game, Alan Clark's keyboards were sublime, such a tight band that even when he smashed up the scales, Terry Williams hit the cymbal spot on, it was amazing
I hear what you are saying. My son in law was South Afrikan. He hardly knew much more than 70s and 80s music before coming to Scotland. Nice reaction Shane.
I noticed a lot of trolls out there reacting when people say they haven't heard of Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler or a particular song. It's ridiculous. I'm 65, love Dire Straights. was around when these songs were released and I just heard Telegraph Road for the first time here. How did I miss it? No one told me, it wasn't on my radar -- Sultans Of Swing, Walk of Life, Money for Nothin', yes I heard those. I missed this one -- I missed it for 41 years. To be honest, what I missed, laid end to end, would stretch from where I live (California) to Johannesburg (where my best friend lives). We miss things, sadly -- then we find them, wonderfully. If you hadn't reacted to Sultans of Swing, I wouldn't have found Telegraph Road. Trolls will be trolls. We'll go discover wonderful things together while they suffer alone. Thank you!
You're right. I missed most of their work until the mid 80s when the Brothers in Arms album was released. Im also an ABBA fan, and I missed 75% of their stuff until I discovered it on YT. A lot of great music just never made it into the mainstream. Back in those days, if it wasn't played regularly on the radio, it didn't get noticed, and we only had one radio station.
Don’t know why anyone would think you’re lying about it. I have watched SO MANY people react to that performance! An embarrassing number of times! And yours is one of my favorites! :)
Mark Knopfler, Lead guitar Hal Lindes, Rhythm guitar John Illsey, Bass guitar Terry Williams, Drums Alan Clark, Keys And for these shows July 1983 additional guest keys, Tommy Mandel.
I'm portuguese and I had a school colleague in high school who was also portuguese but grew up in South Africa. I swear to God, NOBODY in that classroom could understand a word he was saying in english class. Not even the teacher. When he opened his mouth, we all just burst out laughing (stupid teenagers, right?) Your accent just hits different, and I'm so proud of myself right now (I know, I know) that I can fully understand it, even without subtitles. Great reaction, btw. You got a new subscriber.
So enjoyable to see you discover and appreciate Dire Straits. Fun fact -- did you know that Mark is actually left-handed, but plays like a master with his right hand? Thanks for not talking over the performance like some reactors do! Not only is he amazing on the guitar (obviously), he is also the genius song-writer and composer creating these gems, and it all works so beautifully because of their amazing combined musicianship 🙂 May I make a few suggestions for future Dire Straits reactions... A very unique, surprising and fabulous track is their live Alchemy performance of “Once Upon a Time in the West”; do yourself a favour and check it out. Another worthwhile performance would be "Money For Nothing" from ‘Dire Straits (Live) - On The Night’ in 1992, which includes what is widely considered one of the all-time best guitar riffs. Another excellent (although more somber) track to check out is Brothers in Arms; I would suggest watching the official video first to fully appreciate the lyrics and meaning of the song, and then checking out a live performance to appreciate Mark’s extended guitar solo (the version from 'On The Night" is good, and the performance from Wembely in 1998 is on another level!).
I remember my mother bought me this double album as a gift back in the 80's it blew my mind, i think I wore the vinyl out playing it so many times, awesome! thanks for the review dude, bringing those times back 👍👍
It's about the start, growth, and demise of Detroit by government. SULTANS of Swing & Telegraph Road are the rock Classics of the Classics. You all must check out the lyrics to bring Marks music to the next level. He makes the cosmos better and even serious or sad songs still leave you uplifted and happy. Incredible
Hey nice reaction and channel. I recommend the songs Brothers In Arms and Calling Elvis from the concert Dire Straits - Live " On The Night"1993. Just a couple more of their awesomeness. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
❤ hi boet from Charlotte NC. IGNORE the haters. Love your channel and reactions. Honest and genuine. Your face gives away your pure joy so don’t change anything. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@user-xv8vy4lo1i Baie Dankie, really appreciate this message 😊 will keep on keeping on. Have had so many haters my whole life, and it ain't going to stop me now 😊
Hi, just found you, and I'm enjoying your reactions. I graduated from high school in 1977. You are going to love 1970s music. You might be ready for Yes, the Beethoven of British Prog Rock. Progressive. Start with Roundabout and Starship Trooper. Then Awaken. Enjoy the ride, it is mind-blowing.
You mentioned some people and negative comment(s), questioning your validity. There are those people and always will be. I love watching you react and just get so into it. Impossible not to. The few I've watched, I very much appreciate no constant pausing.
Hi Shane I am Scottish originally I came from ISLAY an island on the west coast of Scotland I now live in Glasgow for over 40 years I have been listening to Dire Straits for most of my these years Mark Knopfler is a musical Genius
@@fizzyridertoo yeah ,new he was born Glasgow,think he was about 9 years old when he moved away, rest is history , I’ve been listening to mark for over 40 years guy is a Genius
Hi Shane. The Straits got banned from South Africa in 1979 because they gave the royalties that they earned in South Africa to Amnesty International during the despised apartheid regime. I am so glad that you have found them a little later than most of the world, but you have found them and they are inside you. I'm 57 and was quite late to Pink Floyd (only 25 years not the 40+ that inretrospect in could have been), love them now. Grab as much Straits as you can (album wise) as some of their studio stuff is excellent (Industrial Disease from Love over Gold will make you laugh or wince!). Best wishes.
Private Investigations and Calling Elvis from the "On the night" for sure ua-cam.com/video/Hy457Rqbn4I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YD1APGofTSk/v-deo.html
This live performance cannot be topped. "Telegraph Road" is my favorite song of theirs, and "Love Over Gold" is an amazaing album. For awesome drumming check out Keith Moon of The Who and Todd Sucherman of Styx(Live 1996 or his drumeo masterclasses or his many youtube videos of his drumming in concert with Styx). "Castle Walls" was not a hit, but is a fan favorite.
Great to see this. Very nice is Calling elvis song with great drumms and percussion solo from On the night or Basel live. Another band you check is Uriah Heep - Sunrise, Essy livin, Look at yourself, July morning...
Mark knofler actually makes the guitar 🎸 talk to you absolutely the best band youngsters don't know what music is with all this techno computer beat now
I finished school in the mid 70's when Dire Straits were breaking but lost sight of them over the years, then heard this track and for some reason it I didn't like it then 15 years ago I heard it on my MP3 player - and couldn't stop it - Man it's amazing... Tunnel of Love or Romeo and Juilet next please cos these do not disappoint.
I love the creativity and passion for music those old musicians had. You had Dire Straits, The Police, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Genesis, The Eagles etc in the Music Charts. The music industry killed it with the music trackers produced auto-tuned non-dynamic songs. I can’t hear those trap beats and Reggaeton songs anymore. Don‘t get me wrong. There are still great musicians today but trash dominates the charts. Btw Great reaction
Dire Straits are an awesome live band, but don't ignore their studio albums either. Telegraph Road studio version is incredible too, as is the whole Lover Over Gold album.
The music and band talent is one thing, I would really like you to do a reaction to the lyrics.. its an epic story.. man trying to get away from the hassle, just to get it all back. I think he wishes he was a bird on the pole.. freedom Please do a reaction on the story of the song
So many more great Dire Straits live performances to see. Take a look at the two songs they did at Knebworth '90 with Eric Clapton and his band sticking around on stage for them. One was "I Think I Love You Too Much", an awesome blues song with Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton trading solos. Another group you might like to check out is The Jeff Healey Band who did a cover of "I Think I Love You Too Much" on their Hell To Pay album with Mark playing second guitar and singing backing vocals. You need to see Jeff Healey play live; he was quite something! As you're into heavier rock I suspect his style will appeal to you.
The Jeff Healey version was not really a cover, he was the first to record the song since Mark never recorded it himself with Dire Straits or solo after he wrote it.
Aparte de las ya mencionadas, recomiendo Money for nothing,es probable que la hayas escuchado,es de las más famosas y la puedes escuchar en vivo donde mejora mucho,en el directo de Wembley es mi versión preferida.🍻🍻
Same, I know a little bit, had to study piano at music school. My fingers just couldn't do the chords and then also do the melody. Just needed to practice more. 💜 hope you having a good weekend. Going to watch the cricket T20 final later. Hope SA win :D
Hi Shane , glad to see your liking this era of music can I suggest you take a look at a fav band of mine called Bebop Delux I don't think you'll be disappointed. Keep on rocking.
Guess you only know american pop ? Symphonic Metal, mostly from Europe and also a lot of Metal from Japan is actual absolute great. Just check out bands like : Nightwish, Epica, Lovebites, Ad Infintum, Within Temptation, Visions of Atlantis ... and many more.
@@justsmashing4628 I have never said that they are and i am quite aware of that since i know them since Sultans of Swing was actually released. Its only that most people who complain about that there is no good music anymore these days are americans and seem to know only what they hear from radio stations and have no clue what good music is still out there. Of course a lot of those people don't even know Dire Straits or think they are american because either they don't know that other countries exist and think everything great must be american.
@@ShaneAlanGower excellent. They are a glam rock band from the 70's. Also I assume you've seen Nyango Star play the drums in the Apple/cat costume. If you haven't check it out you'll get a decent laugh from it. Cheers and take care
Despite all your intro protestations about lies and deception how did you know it was going to be a "hell of a ride" if you'd never heard it before? It could have been sh*t! Something not quite right with you and most other UA-cam reactors. Should be about the music not your own insecurities!
Your deep voice is incredible 😂😂😂😂😂❤You're a metal fan for sure, but, you're able to like good music , (we don't care about the genre), PEACE FROM FRANCE ✌️ ❤

Telegraph Road Intersects with the 8 mile of Eminem lore in the Detroit area.
Check out Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Mandela Live 1988 (ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dire+straits+brothers+in+arms+live+nelson+mandela)... Since you are from South Africa, this may be relevant.
It's another of their amazing performances. I hope you enjoy it
Terry Williams unsung hero 👏
If Mark had been born 200 years earlier, he would probably have become a classical composer like Beethoven or Bach!
I agree! but... my dark humor also says if he was born 400 years ago they may have burnt him at the stake!!!...
Very true
The pianist’s playing is elite (and I’m a pianist/singer songwriter).
They have some of the best music you’ll ever hear. I love the Love Over Gold album.
They are musicians musicians…. And by god they’re good. I had a lot of their stuff growing up.
We had the best era of music we really did
oh yeah i am a pianist as well and he is VERY GOOD
Just when you think they're done, they turn it up a notch.. The finale.. my God.. brilliant...
I used to drive from Michigan to Buffalo. I had to go through Canada on Telegraph Rd. I would still my cassette my set tape in turn the music up loud I love Dire Straits especially the magical Marko
one of the greatest outro's in rocknroll 😊
Not just the outro mate. The entire Alchemy show is one of the best recorded live albums ever imo.
@@torfinnfuglestad2003 100%
You cannot go wrong with Dire Straits.
What a song! One of the greatest live performances ever.
so beautiful , one of the best concerts ever.
Alchemy is definitely the best album ever!
Yes it is
I have run out of superlatives for MK' insanely emotional and unique guitar! One of the best of our generation. He is one smooth MOFO!
For me they are my favourite band and this is Marks masterpiece. The best live album I’ve heard is alchemy and the best gig I ever went to was Dire straits on every street tour in 1991.
Romeo and Juliet is a brilliant.
Tunnel of love Wembley 1985.
Always a message in Marks songs Shane. The whole band are great at playing their part and it all comes together. Alan Clarke on piano: well what can your say.
Beautiful.
Otherwise... speechless 😮😮❤❤❤😊
A local band to me and arguably the best live band of all time - every one outstanding musicians.
No argument there. "Alchemy" is one of the best live albums ever recorded.
100% the best live album ever … utterly sublime
As I said, I was at Hammersmith for this.
We didn't think they were going to play it because its such an epic complicated piece.
They played it right at the end, it still gives me goose bumps.

Amazing. One of their greatest compositions played beautifully!
I hear what you are saying. My son in law was South Afrikan. He hardly knew much more than 70s and 80s music before coming to Scotland. Nice reaction Shane.
The way you felt that was beautiful to watch he makes the guitar talk to you
I moved from the UK to cape town in the early 90's . I can agree that some of the music I assumed every one knew was unknown in SA at that time
I noticed a lot of trolls out there reacting when people say they haven't heard of Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler or a particular song. It's ridiculous.

My all time favourite track, only bit of song writing that comes close for me is Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold

best reaction ive seen to this song mate, Gil from Israel
Sorry for my english, but hear one song from Led Zeppelin and you listen to the best Drummer in the Universum

Modern “music” is just embarrassing compared to the 1970/80’s
Can't really call it music
Guess you only know american pop ? Symphonic Metal, mostly from Europe and also a lot of Metal from Japan is actual absolute great. Just check out bands like : Nightwish, Epica, Lovebites, Ad Infintum, Within Temptation, Visions of Atlantis ... and many more.

Yeah modern shyt like Taylor Swift such a joke
The best performance my friend , nice 👍👍.

DONT APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR GREAT LIFE EXPERIENCE. SOME FOLKS ARE FOOLISH
Dire Straits are not poo
Have you forgotten 'Sultans of Swing' that you featured a few weeks ago? Too much drumming I suppose.
It's my first time reacting to this song. I definitely did not forget the last song of theirs I reacted to. How could I? Was a masterpiece
The 2nd best version of Telegraph Road on UA-cam, the Basel version is better than this.
Sorry Mark Knopfler nothing else.
Despite all your intro protestations about lies and deception how did you know it was going to be a "hell of a ride" if you'd never heard it before? It could have been sh*t! Something not quite right with you and most other UA-cam reactors. Should be about the music not your own insecurities!
Anyone who says that they never heard dire straits ....isn't a music fan
I actually live on Telegraph Rd. and grew up a 1/4 mile away.
Your deep voice is incredible 😂😂😂😂😂❤You're a metal fan for sure, but, you're able to like good music
, (we don't care about the genre), PEACE FROM FRANCE ✌️ ❤
