I'm watching this in 2020, and always will, and cry because I can't believe what a song, what a musicians, what a gig, something like this will never happen again, this is history, this should be in school textbooks as a definition of music...
I saw them in Lausanne, June 1992, magical moment, the stadium was more full than with Pink Floyd or U2, almost 55.000 people, all lit with candles during brothers in arms, I'll never forget those moments !!!!
I`ve never ever seen another player who is this good or even better which is just impossible! I don`t care what other people say but Mark is is by far the best guitarist that ever walked this planet. Period.
no, the 1992 Basel had the best licks of part 1 how he finishes off, but 1991 Brussels had the fastest speed and on top of that faster play, his final lick is truly the most complete with extra chords. Search for them and hear for yourself. I just wish he had played his red stratocaster instead of his Pensa MK2 here. Nonetheless, I also wish those 2 versions mentioned above have better recorded quality versions as this 1992 Nimes does.
A lot of people don't seem to like the sax for some reason. I too think it's a superb addition, it just jives really well with the already jazzy sound of Dire Straits. I don't have a definite preference for one version over the other, all the live versions bring something unique and beautiful to the table in my opinion. Just love the fact that there are so many great versions out there, their live performances are on an unparalleled level as far as I'm concerned.
Dire Straits came along during the punk/new wave era and brought back good ole rock & roll (great melodies & The Beat!). One listen to Sultans on the radio and I was hooked (no pun intended)!
En 1992 grabé en vhs este concierto, emitido por TVE en España. Todavía lo conservo, lo veía una y otra vez un día tras otro........en especial los Sultans!!! Bonitos recuerdos, una época irrepetible. Historia de la música.
LOVE this version! When the sax repeats his line and Knopfler just smiles and looks at hhim. Amazing what humans can create!! Little moments like that is what you live for. Can't repeat them, those moments are gone forever. 80-90s were such a great time!! Before technology ruined society and Millennials came along! :XD Great vid!
Ok boomer,. Without this technology, you wouldent be watching this video. Be thankful for the progressing of society and that we are still not stuck having to crank out cars before starting them up.
I'm going to be only 40 years old towards the end of the year. Well said. This is real music and this is a real band and real musicians. Dire Straits forever
The entire song is just absolute beauty, but the magic starts at 7:20 all the way up to the end of the song. Those people over there were so lucky, a shame that we don't have a similar music these years.
Absolutely true! The Basel `92 version is also a beauty. Mark was litterally on fire here. Unfortunately it`s not on YT anymore. Check link below. www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ob8l6
Look like Chris is playing the Noble and Cooley Star Series drum kit he used on the McCartney tour on this song. they changed the set list and arrangements often on this tour. Sultans was no exception. This is superb. Great to see this played in a four piece again. Great band. One of the greatest I think
Mark knopfler que sentimienros tiene tu guitarra, haces que mi corazón sea feliz y está lleno de emociones gracias gracias maestro, tu música me hace soñar y vivir la vida diferente ❤
Alchemy live is my fav because they seemed happier and the drummer was crazy If only they had a saxophone it would have been perfection It saddens me that i wasnt born 30 yrs earlier to witness their music live
Debo escuchar esta versión unas 4 o 5 veces por mes desde hace al menos 10 años (tenía DVD del On the Night!!), y nunca me cansa!! El contrapunto saxo-guitarra a partir del minuto 07:20 es épico, una obra maestra de la música!! Simplemente fantástico!
Awesome, if you think to what rubbish do we have to listen today! I find a refuge in jazz, classical guitar and opera, but I miss the rock masters, gone forever. Mark ended DS adventure when they were at their best. They become a myth.
THANK YOU A LOT.. This was my favorite concert, after Alchemy, and I have still an old VDS tape of the whole concert. ( - I have already your video in my fav- see Nice concert.) I'll vote ***** straight ahead for you HAVE A NICE WEEK END TOO....
on that tour Mark wanted to recreate "Old times" Sultans of Swing, when Dire Straits were only in four and not playing in stadiums or palaces but in clubs...
Mark is guiding and leading all the players till the end..it a team playing and creating a perfect blend of song dont you ever watch and see how many hour on stage just to making the song sound right for us to listen....no ego and no nothing .......just listen and be happy....dont look 4 something bad ....musician is uniq and clean person there is no EGO is just you....like we all say feeling it dirty all the time.... CREGSER go watch wrestling or Tom and JERRY....
DIRE STRAITS - Sultans of Swing (live) Un brano che da solo vale l'intero costo del percorso di una vita. "Quando il rock e i suoi accordi sono l'armonia della poesia..." ( Mark Knopfler )
Para mi la mejor versión de Sultan of Swing, mark no toca, acaricia la zenden y Mel Collins, es junto a Big man, el mejor saxo tenor que yo he visto...Bravo...esto es impresionante!!
C'est la meilleure version de cette chanson avec le sax et le pont piano un peu mélancolique. On une bonne osmose entre eux malgré leur séparation qui suit et j'adore le modèle de gratte qui sort de la traditionnelle Fender Strat ou de la Les Paul, celle ci est une signature mais quelle marque ?
I have this concert, from Bazylea, recorded from TV Unfortunately, as far as I know it was only on Philips DCC (or only Well what is already dead) I will gladly buy it in CD or VCD maybe even BluRay ;-) #Dear Mark! If You read this. It was this concert that changed my life. And this version is the best of the best ... YHEAH!!!!!!! :) I ta trąbka ;-) PLS check ;-) GDAŃSK POZDRAWIA!

This is were my dad met my mom ! i was born in 1993 ! he always tell " we met in the arena in nimes when dire staits played ! "
you were conceved the day the greatest version of the greatest rock song was ever performed
you have the duty to be epic now
Wow...
I'm watching this in 2020, and always will, and cry because I can't believe what a song, what a musicians, what a gig, something like this will never happen again, this is history, this should be in school textbooks as a definition of music...
Underrated
And my goal with my music is to bring these type of performances back 🙏
@@thegeorgeman986 ?
On their first album they have 2 songs that are good Just like "sultans....."!!!
I swear, this is the greatest Band Performance for all time.
So true
Have to disagree. See "Sultans of Swing Alchemy live" here on YT
@@trotro80I have to agree. Alchemy was 9 years before this and not on,y was the sound engineered better but the whole bands playing was otherworldly
I saw them in Lausanne, June 1992, magical moment, the stadium was more full than with Pink Floyd or U2, almost 55.000 people, all lit with candles during brothers in arms, I'll never forget those moments !!!!
Is it just me or does Dire Straits put on one of the best live shows ever? God the goose bumps just don't go away.
amazing but you can tell by now MK has more or less had enough of playing on this scale
It's Amazing how Chris can keep up on Saxophone vs Mark's Guitar! ..I Love It !!!
You can tell Mark was testing him, pretty awesome.
I`ve never ever seen another player who is this good or even better which is just impossible! I don`t care what other people say but Mark is is by far the best guitarist that ever walked this planet. Period.
Knopfler is the best. Period.
❤
this is by far the best version of this song on youtube! those 11 minutes just fly away... perfection!
Head to head with the Alchemy version in my opinion, both awesome!! Long Live dIRE sTRAITS!!
I agree 100%
no, the 1992 Basel had the best licks of part 1 how he finishes off, but 1991 Brussels had the fastest speed and on top of that faster play, his final lick is truly the most complete with extra chords. Search for them and hear for yourself.

sterlingayu He’s playing a MK1 here
@@British_Patriot47 ye pretty sure it’s an mk1

My favorite version EVER!! Mark and the sax trading licks and just smiling!! That interplay is amazing!!! MY FAVORITE, glad I found it again!!
Wembley 85 is awesome too
6:53 - Pianos never sounded so good
7:20 - Saxophones never sounded so heavenly
7:51 - I never thought i'd hear a guitar ever again
CrowNest and the drums are sublime at 9:57
7.51 one of my favourite sounds ever.
0:00 to 11:00 the best version everrr!!!!
Beautiful ! Mark you are the best ! Only you , only you !!! Wonderful !!!
la vita vale la pena essere vissuta per ascoltare anche solo un minuto di cose come questa........
puoi dirlo forte! :D
hai proprio ragione amico mio.È il più grande chitarrista di sempre,altro che Hendrix Clapton e Santana.
Parole sante
Le note trasformate in orgasmo puro e reale...trovatemi qualcosa di simile..Grazie Mark nessuno mai come te.
The best version out there!!! Huge Knopfler and great drummer (Chris Whitten)
Check out the Drummer’s Resource podcast and Chris’s opinion on Mark. Sad what Mark did to Chris’s confidence.
This is the definition of music
Mesmerising combo of sax with electric guitar
I love Mark, the way he plays the guitar is wonderful!...
Mr Knopfler doesn't muck around with this song he's bloody good at his art to all D.S & M.K fans God bless you
The best version ever !
Wembley 85 is unbeatable in my opinion
Dire Straits came along during the punk/new wave era and brought back good ole rock & roll (great melodies & The Beat!). One listen to Sultans on the radio and I was hooked (no pun intended)!
Phenomenon Mark
¡ OBRA MAESTRA ! ( grabada a fuego en mi alma )
MARK YOU ARE A GENIUS ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As fresh as always.
MK & DS
simply spectacular
I saw a performance, just like this one, in Portugal, at Alvalade Stadium, in the 1992 "on every street" tour...Unforgetabble
Awesome, if you think to what rubbish do we have to listen today! I find a refuge in jazz, classical guitar and opera, but I miss the rock masters, gone forever. Mark ended DS adventure when they were at their best. They become a myth.
Best version ever..
Thank you so much for sharing!

DIRE STRAITS - Sultans of Swing (live)
Un brano che da solo vale l'intero costo del percorso di una vita.
"Quando il rock e i suoi accordi sono l'armonia della poesia..."
( Mark Knopfler )
Come una tipica canzone di Sanremo...
the best song ever...
Vinícius A. I'm so proud to say I have the most amazing friends in the world
THE TOP OF MUSIC!
Una actuación magistral. GRACIAS diré straits
The drummer is the best on pregress since the piano play till the final Mark solo!
This is the polar opisate to an autotuned pretty boy or girl with not a shred of tallent or soul...I love this man...
Sensacional!!!
Magnificent
This So Greats, Luvs it !!😍💛💓
I can only imagine that u would lose your mind if you whitnes this magic live
senza parole..unico
Maravilhoso!!!
Legend 1992

Chris Whitten, one of my heroes.

I fully agree with that.
Great.
Thank you, thank you, thank yooouuuuuuu!!! ^^

el puto amo del saxo que increible
Nivel Dios!!
If you don't like this - you don't like music!
63E1 soooo true
Thanks anyway Max
Bach composed.. Heifetz played.
Mark Knopfler did both.
thank you!
fuckin greatest performance ever...
If you take away Alchemy, then yes, it is.
Basel 92 with Paul Franklin added!!!WHOA
eu ouço do Brasil nesta data registrada
2.020 estamos aqui!
WOW!! jailbreak ubernerd behind the piano!
I love this version!
Does anyone know why Chris Whitten comes down from his usual high up position and plays a different drum kit for just this song?
I guess they did that to bring back the spirit and rawness of the original song.
Pick did an extremely good job, but I prefer Terry Williams on the Alchemy version, both are absolute drum gods
9:34 OMG
Para mi la mejor versión de Sultan of Swing, mark no toca, acaricia la zenden y Mel Collins, es junto a Big man, el mejor saxo tenor que yo he visto...Bravo...esto es impresionante!!
Miguel Perez el saxo es Chris White
Miguel Perez Acaricia la zenden ??
Muy buena versión, increíble el parecido de Mel Collins con el cabezón Ruggeri.
C'est la meilleure version de cette chanson avec le sax et le pont piano un peu mélancolique. On une bonne osmose entre eux malgré leur séparation qui suit et j'adore le modèle de gratte qui sort de la traditionnelle Fender Strat ou de la Les Paul, celle ci est une signature mais quelle marque ?
es una Pensa Shur
harika, super helal olsun be !
toca muito.
slow and potent applause
Se podrá hacer mejor?
Imposible, esta versión roza la perfección.
