    I have loved Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler (I am also a fan of Mark's solo work), since the beginning: That said, I appreciate the guys even more, and am even more enthralled than ever, as a matured (and trained) musician, writer and poet. Furthermore, now that I am in the final stages of a terminal illness, I find that rewatching these videos of their performances is one of the very few things that makes me feel truly happy and alive in the moment (in addition to the nostalgia and artistic appreciation, I suspect it also has something to do with the dopamine, adrenaline, serotonin and / or endorphins that are released as a result). Thank you guys, for the decades of amazing performances, musicianship and engaging lyrics... and for playing me off the stage these days, as it were. 😉🙏💙

      Five or ten years back Mark was taking guitar lessons in London because he was convinced there was more to learn. Likely technique and theory, I would guess. I wouldn't bother if I was him but he was determined to learn more, so kudos to Mark! 👀🎸👍😎👌

    I'm sitting here at 8 o'clock in the morning with a cup of coffee and watching this vid. This is all I need to get going for yet another day. This gives me energy. Great performance. Mark is a musical genius and a fantastic lyricist. He's been lauded for his incredible guitar sounds, but his lyrics over the years have been just as incredible. Truly, he was born for this. Love him and love this band.
