You're thinking too much... Mark pays lip service to words and meaning. He KNOWS that the Blues and Rock (derived from the Blues) operate on a feelings level, on emotions. Watch the Live version of this "On The Night" (1993)... the pedal steel guitar and the AUDIENCE steal the show- the love is palpable.Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
Apperently marks brother David kept trying to ring him on his telephone and when Mark finally answered David said something like it's trying to get hold of elvis, sort of inspired Mark to write the song 🤷🏻♂️
This isn't a promo video. The Thunder Birds was a popular marionette show from the 1960s. That's where the puppets come from. Dire Straits commissioned that marionette company to create puppets of the band members for this video. Check out "the making of" video.
I guess you never seen the show "Thunderbirds"?, that was a sci fi puppet show from the 60's Also it's Jeff Porcaro from Toto playing drums in this song(and other songs from this album). Mark Knopfler wrote this song after a family member phoned him while Dire Straits was on tour and said "You're harder to reach than Elvis" ua-cam.com/video/wLiH4xrCITI/v-deo.html
Hi. Nice reaction. It's a cool music video but the Live version is awesome with nice little surprises. DS are best viewed live. The versions are so much better. Private Investigations from DS Live " On The Night" 1993 is a really great experience. Anyway all the best from Australia 😊🎸🎸
You’re not exactly wrong. Part of the video was used as a commercial to DCC launching in 1991 : ua-cam.com/video/U7SRz4NxORA/v-deo.htmlsi=g2SOAJ9fWG3V16zH DS had popularized the CD format in the mid 80’s thanks to their former album and tour, Brothers in Arms. DS’ come back was a very, very big deal. When the On Every Street album came out, journalists used to say the expectations had never been so high since the legendary bands from the 60’s/70’s.
I always say. This band should always be listened to live version.
You will never regret it.
free on stage..
Because there is talent...

The drums in this played by Jeff picoro was just sublime 😮😳
This video refers to "Thunderbirds"....talking about Presley's fans...just a video clip......the end of Dire Straits too....
It's even Gerry Anderson, the creator of Thunderbirds, that co directed this video

Now hear the same music live in Nimes 1992...
Subscribed before the song actually started. That’s rare for me, I usually watch a few Elvis reactions first

DIRE STRAITS + THUNDERBIRDS
It's sad that people only know music through advertising! Broken music "industry" 😢
