100% my friend. I see it as the greatest love song ever written. I have always wondered what a Romeo and Juliet part 2 would be like. Did they ever get together? Did she ever realise that it was just that the time was wrong and did they ever meet again when the time was right?
Absolutely the best performance of the best love song ever. I went to see them play this set at my local football stadium, Portman Rd in Ipswich on the 18th June 1992, with my now ex-wife (RIP) and my brother. 31 Years later, still the best night of my life. Nothing comes close. ❤
Mark is pure magic and Dire Straits are the best band in the world, and if they don't want to put them at No.1, the Whole band should at least be on the podium. Mark has an unmistakable touch that makes you dream; his lyrics are refined and sophisticated, often steeped in mystery and full of ancient memories. Mark is the king of rock at once elegant and powerful, and the whole band blends into a superlative architecture. Dire Straits is so unique that it is beyond any comparison. They are just Dire Straits.
How different this is to the album version. Listening to the concert recordings it’s evident that the group were continually evolving and expanding their music as a live band through their oerfomances. We are so lucky to have this legacy to enjoy today.
One of the best saxophone solos of all time. The entire arrangement of this was sublime. Damn, I wish I had been just a few years older so I could've travelled to this concert.
I was at the On the Night Tour back in 1992 - Dire Straits had, by then, evolved into an incredible gathering of many superb musicians, a huge advance from how they started with just three guitars and drums. Dire Straits at the end were just out of this world, superb music that just defies description, and the On the Night Tour was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Brilliantly put friend. I was 19 and there with my Dad who had brought me up with them - he is now no longer with us and I will treasure that night forever.
Please. A moment of recognition for Chris White on saxophone...Full props to MK, of course and all the more credit that he let CW have that great moment.
As a young drummer back in 79 or 80 I barged into what thought was an empty practice studio in south London with my kit only to find a band set up and ready to play. I apologized and turned to leave only to see all the Dire Straights flight cases along the back wall. Great memories.
That was over 40 years ago and I was a young aspiring drummer in a semi professional band. The place was called Woodwharf Studios and was pretty rough back then although it was used by quite lot of south London bands at that time. Bands like Squeeze and I think also Kate Bush used it. I think DS used it because nobody hassled them there. They came with a catering truck and rehearsed there for days on end. I think Mark K also used it when he was solo. It got flattened years ago and an apartment building is now on the site. You can Google the name.
@@rubytuesday1345 What a memory to have. Kate Bush lived in Court Rd Eltham SE9 for a bit. Also Sultans of swing was about a band in a pub in Deptford.
Maravillosa cancion, es de una delicadeza y calidad.increible. me gusta muchísimo y el saxofonista es el acompañante de esta cancion perfecto. Querido Mark Knopfler una canción inolvidable ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My husband and I dance to this song together! We had a failed IVF round, this song was playing while we were having our transfer! ❤ It failed, but the time was wrong. Cannot wait to try again! That saxophone speaks to me, it gives me chills xx
A mind-blowing performance, incredible sax solo... Thank you Dire Straits for giving the world this sublime piece of art that proves how man is capable of unrivaled heights of beauty and of lifting his soul so high.
what a great song,ive been listening to romeo & juliet,brothers in arms,sultans non stop for like a week now. What a great thing music is damn what we would do without it...would love to be young when those guys were at their best. This band was one of my first touch with music when i was 7-8 yo listening on my sony walkman from a cessette a friend of my dad gave me.GREAT TIMES
Tengo 60 años prácticamente ha nacido con ellos han sido siempre mi grupo favorito es que no entiendo nada de la música de hoy en día al final todo seguimos escuchando estas grandes canciones hechas con música en mayúsculas y no la música enlatada de hoy en día que solo vale para escuchar 15 días y luego no me acuerdo, Esta gente sabía de música, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Gungs and rose ,Springsteen, etc. etc.
@@olivierdumans297 non je voulais dire que Dire Straits a fait irruption dans mon univers musical au même titre que les deux géants. Les Beatles restent le groupe de référence. salutations
How can I be expected to enjoy modern music, when this is what music used to be…
This is one of the greatest songs ever written - Indisputable fact!
agreed
Bella canción ! emociona la interpretación de Mark, impecable la banda ❤

I agree with you
Maglc
Totally correct
If someone would ask me to describe class in music I would answer Dire Straits
❤
On the night is easily one of the best concert performances of all time
Surely.
Agree! Perfection
It is the best😀
Absolutely
Also Pulse Pink Floyd
My favourite Dire Straits song. I’m 56 years old Male Rocker you make that guitar sing Mr Knofler also love these lyrics.
💙🎸💙🎸❤️🎸❤️
Incredibly beautiful song
Best saxophone solo ever for this song. Fantastic!!!!!
This version is 10000x better than the original 😊
In this arrangement Paul Franklin did a tasteful slide version of the outro solo.
I absolutely agree.
Mark is one of the best musicians of all times.
How different this is to the album version. Listening to the concert recordings it’s evident that the group were continually evolving and expanding their music as a live band through their oerfomances. We are so lucky to have this legacy to enjoy today.
Quite possibly their best ever performance
Timeless performance!
One of the best saxophone solos of all time. The entire arrangement of this was sublime. Damn, I wish I had been just a few years older so I could've travelled to this concert.
That’s really true
Yep, i was there 24 jears old. Stadion De Kuip Rotterdam.
Best Version of The Song
My God: Chris White’s saxophone 🎷, Alan Clark’s piano 🎹, the pedal steel guitar solo, Mark’s Resonator guitar 🎸
Yes mark knopfler is one of the best of world

Brilliantly put friend. I was 19 and there with my Dad who had brought me up with them - he is now no longer with us and I will treasure that night forever.
When I was lecturing in music, I used to teach this song as the best rock ballad every written.
Wahnsinns Version, für mich das schönste Liebeslied, ohne Worte ❤
Die Version von wembley ist noch besser..?..
🤩 Wonderful! … Here I am, September 2024!
Moi aussi
Please. A moment of recognition for Chris White on saxophone...Full props to MK, of course and all the more credit that he let CW have that great moment.
Just imagine those summer nights in Europe 1992 with the no cellphones... 😢
You are right, my friend! No mobile phones, just groups of friends talking each other, listening to music and enjoying that magic atmosphere.
It was wonderful. It the love of my life. Portugal. This was our music.im 50. It was 30 back. Never went away. For both
They enjoyed music
We held lighters up instead ❤
So true
How humble seems to be Chris White .... wonderful solo !

I'm a french heavy metal singer and i can't help but cry when i hear this song... All musician are such incredible 🙏💪👏👏👏
moi aussi je suis francais.

WOW that is crazy, did you not recognise them?? And I take it you are some what professional no, to have access to the same studios as dire straits?😊

This is such a cool story, wow! I'm jealous!
No need to be jealous my friend. It’s just about time and place. But great memories nonetheless.
@@rubytuesday1345 What a memory to have. Kate Bush lived in Court Rd Eltham SE9 for a bit. Also Sultans of swing was about a band in a pub in Deptford.
Love the sax and piano we need that back
Paul's slide version of the outro is a pure bliss.
This is absolutely breathtaking

OMG i wish I was there
j'ai 72 ans ; j'ai aimé passionnément les Stones et les Beatles. Puis j'ai entendu Dire Straits ........
Du coup, Vous n'aimez plus les Stones et les Beatles ? On peut parfaitement apprécier les 3 groupes, même si, à mon sens, les Beatles sont au -dessus.
@@olivierdumans297 non je voulais dire que Dire Straits a fait irruption dans mon univers musical au même titre que les deux géants. Les Beatles restent le groupe de référence. salutations
@@chim-m7w Pas de problème ! Quiconque apprécie les Beatles suscite mon estime; cordialement.
Been listening to this masterpiece for most of my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We used to cry
Straits Banda única.Y Mark un GENIO es completo todo cada Instrumentos sin duda son lo mejor😂❤
What a group..Superb song wonderful group...my youth....yes stunning sax but a group so tight.....
Nice pedal steel. Well done Mark ... helluva band.
