O my god! My dad used to listen this live Alchemy song. So much better than studio version. RIP. Thanks dad.
🧡
I understand your dad. In the 90’s I listened to this song thousand of times. In cassette, man! And video in VHS. I couldn’t stop. Today I land into this video and listened to it once again. What for memories.
alchemy is the best live performance recorded ever, in my opinion. they topped themselves with that one.
So true
@@chrishall7915 Than is 100% correct! BEST!!
Right
Impossibile in human bean to make another alchemy one
I believe it‘s because it is there real first big world tour, and when you see how happy Mark is with the sound quality, he reacts like a kid on Christmas as soon he heard the keys and his guitar, and he knows it will be not only a Lp but a video too, you can feel the energy!
2024. Still sounds like invented this year.
I have never heard ANYONE play like Knopfler. He's in a class by himself.
Mark teaches god hoh to play
Am I the only one who thinks that this is the best version of the bass in once upon a time in the west?
The best once upon a time in the west performance ever.... Thank you
sem duvida....
👍👍😃
And where is this excellent control of dynamics, synoptic playing, phenomenal combination of hi-hat/werbe of Pick Withers drums? I think it's time to get your ears checked :-)

I really think those who have been to this concert are the luckiest among the people who have ever existed
Yes saw them live in Sydney mid eighties
I ve been thinking the same for ages
If I could pick any concert I could have possibly seen during my lifetime - this would be the one. I was nin years old at the time and living in Sweden, but hey, this is peak music.
Yes, I was at this concert!
This is just a concert from the tour captured on camera? Do you think the other shows were worse?
Mark Knopfler understands, what so many guitarist don't. There are times,when playing softly and using silence actually accentuate,what you're trying to convey.
Yes
A gifted storyteller and his guitar work is ridiculous!
It's called dynamic range, and sadly in modern music is frequently overlooked.
@@DeesoSaeed It's weird how male players today are afraid to play with range.
Alchemy Live. The Best Live Album Ever. No doubt.
I drive home to this version every Friday!
👌
Choice
It's hypnotic from 5.10 to 8.40,
One of the best songs on Alchemy.
For me the first 10 minutes and 53 seconds are magical.
Wonderful song and great guitarist knoppler one of the best of all time
Knoppler is a true master of the guitar perhaps the best of all time
A left-handed.
Got be in the top 5... To Please.
Alchemy Live is simply, one of the greatest rock and roll albums ever - I doubt there's a band that's ever sounded better than this in concert - this version of this particularly song frankly changed my life when i heard it the first time, probably 25 years ago - stunning.
Well said ! Fan for 34 years and still going strong !
I am not the greatest Dire Straits fan in the world, but have to agree. I have neverheard a better Live Album. Excellent Song selection and every song is improving the studio version, many times by a lot!
Beatles
But I agree dire straits are far underrated
Especially mark knopfler listed out of 20 best guitarist for Rolling Stones, it is clearly a mistake, very original and clean sounds
So tight, Mark is a true legend and the way he’s leading the band while performing vocals and lead guitar is phenomenal.
Yep. They killed it!
john Illsley bass line is amazing, drives the song well1
Bass line in song is fantastic. Me. Isley is one of the best !
My god John Illsleys bassline is rock solid and grooves like nothing else….carry’s the song imo
The Dire Straits happy years. Alchemy was the best live recording of all times in the 80's. The John Illsley unique bass sound is amazing as a backgroung Knopfler personal guitar sound. The best.
This is how good they had become in 4 short years
What happened in 1979? The band formed in 1977 and this is 1983.
@ They hit their third album by 1980. A successful band has to reinvent by that point.
In 2016 I took a week to myself by hiring a cottage in the peak district during springtime, I walked for 6-8 hours a day through fields and country lanes listening to this live album on repeat with cans of beer in my backpack everyday and a pouch of golden virgina baccy and would be in my own heaven out in the countryside especially when this song played .
I used to do the same, instead of walking, it was on repeat for 400miles while driving home...
You are not alone.
Why does no-one listen to natural sounds anymore when out? Literally everyone has earphones.
@@jrb4935 Bc I don't want to listen to their bad taste in music? 😀😀
@@ZZMJo Eh? Whose music? I'm saying, why does everyone now have earphones when they're out?
this must be one of the finest songs ever written. simply sublime.
Bassist is a legend❤
I remember buying Alchamey on VHS back in the day and my brother and I never realised at the time that we were witnessing greatness. Never to be replicated never to repeated a moment in time that will be remembered for generations “Ladies & Gentlemen can you please welcome to the stage dIRE sTRAITS”!! 🎸
Uno dei migliori live della storia. La canzone poi è un capolavoro
never gets old. must have listened to this 10 thousand times.
Thumbs up if you Like John Illsley 's Base in this version.
It’s outstanding 😊
Absolutely 💯🎶
Hell Ya Say…👍
Cool bass line
John illsley is amazing 😍
I am playing and replaying this for weeks now. And much more from Dire Straits. I can’t stop listening to them especially live. Greets from a born 1969 belgian music lover.
I mean what the fuck bro! How is it even possible to make this out of the studio version of this song? OMFG! Literally blown away!
Amazing!! Awesome!! Incredible!! Astonishing!! Dire Straits forever!!
The way they put the magic wand to the studio tracks,and give them their life fully fulfilled live
❤Perhaps the best concert opening of all times!❤ from Portugal.
The Odeon's walls and stage had the privilege to showcase this Magnificent Concert,, Mark and his guys just outdid themselves.
I used to listen to this over and over as a teenager and still think its one of the best songs to make you forget all your problems and go somewhere "else" for a while. All of them are amazing but I always think about the discipline of the drummer and rhythm guitarist throughout the song. Bl**dy amazing!
Hands up for "discipline"
That is one of MK magic, he can take you on a journey with his songs! One of the best story tellers!
It just came on my flo and I was instant tears but good ones as it triggered memories from 30+ years so thank you
Especially the instrumental part in the middle is simply out of this world!
LOVE this because Mark doesn't even use his signature 'Strat' tone. Just the neck pickup, clean and glassy. A jazzy urban reggae song with Sergio Leone spaghetti western title!
Tinha 15 anos quando ouvi este álbum, hoje tenho 53!! Sensacional!!
As a kid I played Alchemy endlessly. Love how different and extended these live tracks are vs the studio albums, absolutely sublime. The live version of Wild West End in 85 is right up there with this classic. Pure gold.
Two minutes intro that worth everything... and that "Ahhg" is so classic, phenomenal...
So much light, shade and subtlety with this guitar playing, it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, this song part one and two, the whole concert set the bench MARK for live performances, a great nuch of musicians, Terry White on drums matches every MK note on guitar
Terry is white but his surname is Williams
@@terri-annematthews7369 Thanks for the correction, how did I make that mistake. Best wishes
i heard this song when i was 11 or 12.
after i want to became drummer in a rock n rolle music !!
20 years later, this song is so good...
I had a belter getto blaster back then the bass one it was amazing 1983 fantastic day's 👏 I'm 58 now and still enjoying the master of guitar 🎸 something else 😀.
I still have the album that i bought in 84. It is still in excellent condition.
Been listening to him since way way back. Still love to hear them. Love how Mark checks his band while doing his thing up there. That smile says...good going guys
Every note is a symphony
Wow, this concert is over 30 years old and still sounds just as great today as way back then. Timeless. Knopfler is just outstanding on the guitar, its live, he is making that Strat sing and taking you on a journey with his playing. And not just a small repetitive riff, a real lead guitar player, and one of the very best with out doubt. Just don't hear this anymore these days, such a pity. This whole concert is amazing.
Dave Kite Dave one of the best comments on you tube, may I quote you?
Just heavenly! Tears in my eyes and goosebumps, such sweet melody. One of the best songs ever performed live by Dire Straits.
Et bien, en 1985, j'avais 30 ans. Et j'ai pas fini d'ecouter Alchemy. Toujours. Comme un fil de vie qui accompagne les décennies, comme une evidente presence, toujours.
🤗🎸🎼🎵🎶😉💚👍
Alchemy : live music does not get better than this
il était une fois a l'ouest ce monsieur est excellent exceptionnel mon Dieu ♥️♥️♥️
The interplay between the drums and the lead in the middle part of this is eerie and moody ... my favorite Knopfler work, even though solos on tracks like Tunnel of Love and Telegraph Road show more virtuosity.
I thank my dad for bringing me up listening time these legends 🙌
I loved this album so much that I had the cassette, the VHS tape, then years later bought the DVD which I still own today. That Sultans of Swing and this song is by far the best live version of any songs I ever heard.
Same 😂
The early days... R.
My favourite of the album
Masterpiece
Mark in a wonderful shape! Young but not too much young, he played his guitar like never before. Great songs and solos construction for all concert. Amazing inspiration. The best i’ve ever heard
And he did it so smooth, it seems he is singing, playing the guitar, looking around, keep the band in rhythm, and thinking something different!
Man they are so polished... flawless brilliance. These guys earned their place at the top.. so much respect. :)
BEST SONG EVER.........
This is certainly the song I listen the most in my life... one of the best song I know...
This is one of the best live albums ever
Musical talent at its best......its fuckin beautiful. Gotta love that groove
I listen to this song all day and just can't stop
Of course
The best live in the history !
In late 80s during my uni days, my Friday movie night was to play ' Alchemy ' VHS.
Still love Dire Straits and their music.
The drummer is just perfect i love him so much!
The drummer its" terry Williams...."
Cool.
Terry Williams 🤘🤘
How many ways can I say I love it??
We like to highlight the performances of these Alchemy recordings (Terry Williams' drums for instance), but the bass groove throughout this particular track is superb. Just listen, but maybe 4:30 and onwards
all day working,told everyone to go to bed coz I need to relax,hope one day we can relax and enjoy this together.
🤙🏼
L un des plus grands de tous les temps
i much prefer this up tempo live version to the studio version
This music would be good in a film/tv show. It’s very atmospheric.
J'adore! Même après toutes ces années.... Le son, le jeu, l'échange avec le batteur, c'est pour moi les meilleurs moments dire straits dommage que j'étais trop jeune pour voir ça en concert !!! Après pink Floyd, c'est mon meilleur groupe !
00:43 these fingers💕
Dire straits always be looking like they’re not sure if they’re musicians or tennis players
Terry Williams!!! WOW
A band of virtuosi, and they all love what they're doing. But, Mark, you were one of those in the '70s who turned me on to becoming a competent rhythm and lead guitarist, I worked at my legato, my portamento. my vibrato, and my scales (though I found modes more useful (tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone tone will be the Aeolian Mode, no matter in which key you play it) but I was never able to rid myself of a plectrum. In all my jeans (except when washing), in the little right pocket) is a small case of plectra. I was good enough to spend 16 years as a popular heavy metal lead singer, lead guitarist and songwriter, and at the age of 61, I can still hack it. But I will never, ever be able to sound like you, Mark. You are an inspiration. I did take away the extended "orgasm song" thing (David Gilmour does it too), but always acknowledge my betters and superiors. _Salue,_ Mark Knopfler. You are inspiring.
When the sustained chord hits at :59, you know you're in for a ride. Strap on the headphones and just shoot this straight into my veins
Drummer is soooooooooo fekin’ good….. John’s bass is the best ever too.
Who’s protecting the innocenti? Fell in love to this tune…..
For me always the one.
And this ladies and gentlemen, is how it is done…
5:10
Love the groovy bass line...
I keep repeating this rock band till now, I'm already 48. just don't know what the hell!!!
38 years ago heard and watched this awesome concert video back then chur like many other great artists from that Era such a pleasure to have discovered them back then lovely to walk down memory lane
Melhor e maior guitarrista de todos os tempos!!!
❤
When Mark's guitar kicks in! BRILLIANT 👍😊🎸🎶🎶
Like a powerful version of a top song. Such a well-designed shift of relaxation and top-notch charge .. after this song I am completely exhausted ....
Yeah you're right
Alchemy Live KILLS!!!
The sound track of my youth....
17 mois que mon Mari Adoré est parti, mais la musique que l’ont aimait tellement demeure.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
First 3 Albums... What a Start!
One of my all time fave 'live' songs and I love MK's fingerpicking style. :^)
Ing awesome. Nobody like him!
Los coros de Dire Straits son los mas bonitos del Rock, otra vez lo vuelven a demostrar con esta canción!
I love this song ❤
Mark always so cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤👌
Dire Straits at their best ! Terry and Bill are the saints,and Mark is God...
Who is Bill?
@@ebeefhart Bill illsley,bass player.
I thought that his name is John Illsley.
hum ... wonder why no one of these supposed stars of 2day can't do even 1/10 th like that oh god the gud olden days ! ! !
fantastic album...i love it
Mark's dynamics are amazing. I wore this tape out 35 years ago.
I can't believe how well he had that guitar set up. Not a dead or scratched note possible.
God I wish Lady Writer was on Alchemy. A true jewel. Dire Straits my first concert, then Pink Floyd.
Merci M.K d avoir produit ce chef d œuvre
