Yet another example of Mark Knopfler having complete command and control of his Fender Stratocaster. I am very envious of his guitar playing ability. Thank God for him, his music, and for Dire Straits.
For me melodically, Mark is the best electric guitar player of all time. That distinctive, smooth, twangy, bitter sweet solos age like an expensive wine and just blows everybody away.
@@dalebradley6039 I like his vocals. I've always thought if you want high pitched and wide range stuff, get a woman to sing the song. Or have female backing vocals. I can think of a lot of great bands then the male singer appears and you think "whats this... a drag act?"
And they do it in the most refined way imaginable. I can't remember if the first LP was with Philips or Vertigo, but tgis album is with Vertigo and hasn't lost any of the class and polish of the original.
He's fantastic! I suppose some guitar fanatics can find other players who are "technically" better or faster than MK, but as far as getting pure enjoyment from the sounds he produces, I'm hard-pressed to find anyone better. Plus, he has a very expressive voice and a great stage presence.

I’m 51 years old and so glad to hear some Dire Straights that hasn’t been overplayed on the radio for years. It’s like fun new music. And of course they’re talented.
Вы меня извините у марка нет некоторых песен... Все что выдаёт это шадевры... Это драйв... Марк ты всегда мне помогал взлетает и садиться браво сэр нопфлер
No matter how depressed I get, this song always brings me inexplicable joy Edit: I'm dancing like a dumbass in my kitchen to this song while making spaghettis
Agree wholeheartedly. It seems "Sultans of Swing" and "Money for Nothing" are Dire Straits' two biggest hits. But I can think of literally dozens of DS songs I like better.
@@aztekempire Once "Money For Nothing" came out, I thought they were huge! If that isn't mainstream, then I don't know what is? Love their first 2 albums because that's the Dire Straits that hit me as a youngster ~ that unique sound. Kind of a mix of Bob Dylan & JJ Cale. I lost interest after that. They have almost 2 million subscribers just on YT. That's more than Bob Dylan has!
I grew up with daily music of the Dire straits when living with my parents in my younger days. My dad was able to play every song on his red Fender guitar. 🔥🎸❤️ Played in bands and was well known in my local country area. Now because of circumstances and his age he can't play the guitar anymore. For him it is like dying a little bit...😢 Your music was and still is really his and our life ! Lady writer is one of our favorites, he also have seen the Dire Straits live end of the seventies. And lucky , now his 2 grandsons are playing the Dire Straits ...isn't that beautiful ? 💫
The energy and joy is palpable. Each member of the band plays his role perfectly. Egos are checked before taking the stage. However they extrude quiet confidence. They know they are tops in their realm.
No real fame for them at this point in their career, just raw talent and loving what they do. A brilliant rolling tale of a tune, love when Mark chuckles and Pick smiles, tight!
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.
Very few on this planer can play the lead guitar while singing, and then, IMO, don't think anyone plays as effortlessly and melodically as Mark does....he's just one of a kind !! Lost for words actually....
They were young. They were playing THEN as young rockers. Except for John Illsley who never changed his imperturbable almost dandy way of giving the beat with his bass guitar,all through the years 😊
To all guys complaining about mono audio quality - this is what makes ds and MK so special and immortal. Good music sounds good in every issue :) Knopfler forever - mono, stereo, dolby, 3d sound - doesn't matter at all. Greetings from Poland !
This is truly one of the greatest rock songs ever. Supreme guitar solo, supreme keyboard solo, supreme vocals, bass and drums. It rocks and it rolls and moves the soul. DP forever!
One of the very few songs that you can listen to at any period in time and as many times as you like, it simply refuses to make you feel bored with it.
The man who can make a Schechter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a good, stiff drink.
Thank you, you are my life savers. As a bullied teenager at school in the 80s, I fell asleep with headphones on listening to your chords. And even at 53, your music is what plays on the speakers🤎

Watching Mark Knopfler play guitar is incredible. He enjoys it so much.
He's also very good with a great rock feel.
He's incredible but also incredibly high! It was the 1980s...
That particular night, yes. There was a great deal of Peruvian marching powder in the house.
@@juliebrown8331 hahahah everybody in the 70's and 80's had that Colombian problem!
Yes!!
Mark Knopfler is a wizard. The guitar tone in this song is some of the best I’ve ever heard.
Magician of Swing
Knopfler is a living legend. It’s a shame he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves while he’s still alive to hear it.
sure ? true music lovers recognise him as one of the best ever, not only as a guitarist but also as a songwriter
Agreed
I'm over 60 years old and this still puts so much life in my soul even in 2024.

No question, one of THE greatest guitarists to ever play music, awesome musician and band !
Definitely agree
I don't believe there was ever ANY doubt regarding that ;)
But also one of the worst Vocalists of all time. (Although he Knows his limits and writes well for this/his style of music..)
@@dalebradley6039 I like his vocals. I've always thought if you want high pitched and wide range stuff, get a woman to sing the song. Or have female backing vocals. I can think of a lot of great bands then the male singer appears and you think "whats this... a drag act?"
@@RS-xx9ve I AGREE with YOU , BRO! I LOVE Mark's vocals!! Subtle and EFFECTIVE -- a perfect complement to his more complex finger picking style 😎🎸👍
Not only is he a master guitarist but he has the most beautiful smile while playing.
The dire straits riff is unforgettable, when you start listening since the intro you recognize is a dire straits song
four lads, a drum, two guitars and a bass...simple...but what a sound - the glory of the Fender Strat!, what songwriting
Best ever set up, I saw him play at the O2 in 2015 there were 4 tracks just drums, bass, guitar and vocals in the middle of the concert. Brilliant.
And they do it in the most refined way imaginable. I can't remember if the first LP was with Philips or Vertigo, but tgis album is with Vertigo and hasn't lost any of the class and polish of the original.
Watching Mark Knopfler play guitar is incredible, like watching Ronaldinjo play football. Just joy.
Ronaldinho*

Most melodic guitar I've ever heard.
He plays so well it hurts.

Beautiful. Smooth, soft, bright, happy, yet nostalgic at the same time.
I'm Brazilian for me the best guitarist in the world gives me peace to hear the songs played by Mark.
Concordo com vc Maurício eu sou fã do Mark
Concordo! Ele tocando é pura arte
I'm agree 1000.000 %. I'm Albanian and I''m a fan of brazilian football team
この曲はあまり知らない曲ですが、黙って聴いているだけで顔がニコニコします。こんな気持ちになるのは、気の合う女性と雑談する時ぐらいですね。マークノッブラーさんの抑制の効いた歌声といい、軽快なリズムといい、本当に聴きごごちの良い曲です。素晴らしい!
おっしゃる通りです80年代ブリティッシュニューウェーブを代表する実力派のロックバンドです本当にレコード擦り切れるほど聴いてました当時はまだカセットテープの時代でしたから車の中でもこればっかりです必死になってギターのコピーに明け暮れてました⏩グッジョブです(笑)

Well it is breathtaking to watch him play. All that plus an endearing smile 😊
Sultans of Swing was so good that it deserved a sequel.
Don't care what anyone says, Mark is the greatest guitar player I have seen . I've seen a lot in my 69 years !
76 now and could not agree more
Roy Clark?
Clear bro!!
He's fantastic! I suppose some guitar fanatics can find other players who are "technically" better or faster than MK, but as far as getting pure enjoyment from the sounds he produces, I'm hard-pressed to find anyone better. Plus, he has a very expressive voice and a great stage presence.
Everyone says that. But hes already widely regarded as one of the best guitarists alive.
Finché dura la musica c'è vita

For my money, this solo smokes sultans of swing. Absolutely perfect phrasing(One man's opinion)
