Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on UA-cam, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on UA-cam. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on UA-cam, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

mark knopfler is a very special guitarist. he is a rare guitarist with his own unique style. he deserves great respect.
sadly ,he is not respected in his country .
Great reaction, and thanks to whoever requested this :) Such an amazing performance.
Mark has a new solo album (his 10th) coming out early April! Can’t wait! Still has it at 74.
The talent it takes to create this musical tapestry is mind blowing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen this live. Love it. Forever this has been my album when sitting down at the table for dinner with friends and family....love Dire Straits.
One of the greatest bands ever. Knopfler is a real heroe. Thank you!
This is the opening track from the Alchemy concert, I whish I had been there, Mark was totally inspired here, incredible playing, I am glad you mentioned the killer Bass too, John Illsley never gets enough credit, but he is a great player.
If you like more instruments, listen to Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield.
Sultans of Swing from the same concert will blow your mind for sure!!
Here are other recommendations for some dire straits breathtaking performances :
Brothers in Arms and Tunnel of Love from Wembley 1985
Brothers in Arms and Money for nothing from Mandela Concert 1988
Love this performance. Very atmospheric.
This is my favorite Dire Straights recording. It’s sublime. One of the best songs and guitar solos I’ve ever heard. Puts me in musical paradise.
A jazzy feel about that..beautiful with so much emotion and imagination
Wonderful reaction... seeing the joy and admiration on your face takes me back to the mid 1980s when I heard this album for the first time. MK truly was and still is a master of the guitar and of storytelling through music, and I still listen to this album, and all the others regularly... and will do so 'til I'm gone.
I saw the very first comment below, which states that you should not listen to 'Les Boys', which is the last track on the Straits' third album, 'Making Movies'. For the longest time it was not my favorite either, probably because of some of the BS social prejudices that were programmed into us back when that album was first released. I have since come to love that song for the same reason I have come to love all of MK's songs: musically, it's a superb piece, and he tells a story (which happens to be a true story) very well, and with humor. Listen to it or don't. I would never tell someone 'don't listen to this or that song'. But if you do listen to it, and are curious as to the backstory for the song, do a search here on UA-cam for the following:
'Mark Knopfler is telling a funny story / Les Boys perfomance (very rare!)'
Anyhoo, again, wonderful reaction. It always heartens me to see someone come to appreciate MK and crew...
You are so right, the keys played such an important part of progressive rock .. so instrumental in providing the mood and atmosphere of the song. Very much missing in music these days. This song is one of the great often overlooked gems from Dire Straits. Glad you experienced it. You need to give "Skateaway" a listen.
Yea man, this was fire. That rhythm section in the first part of the song with the bass driving the song and the drums just staying in the pocket was really nice. Then Mark just doing his magic, superb!
Mark said, "I wish I had learnt the Guitar properly. All I am is a Geordie Strummer" Do you realise Mark is actually left handed?
You're digging into my favorite Dire Straits album, Commuique. The whole album is nothing but riff dealing amazingness. Check out "Portobello Belle", "Single Handed Sailor", "Lady Writer", "Where You Think You're Going" and "News". Mark Knopfler does our music better than we Americans ever believed possible.
There's a group of recordings from Rockpalast you might consider. Flawless!
*"Where You Think You're Going"* and *"News"* are my fav with *"Once Upon..."*
Angel of mercy the end lick on that guitar is just something out of a different universe, I'm convinced somebody somewhere has got it very very wrong about knopflers guitar style of play when they do the top guitarists and he's never in the top 20 never mind the top 10, he's 5 at the actual utmost least, they can stick their opinions up their arses
Been one of my all time favourite live tracks for a long time.
I love the way you react to the main man Mr mark knopler no one plays guitar like knopler.
From that synth breakdown, they’re just fluently showing off 💀🤗
Best (free playing) band ever👍🏻
Its a lot faster beat than the original studio recording but still super smooth. Its a real drive your car song !
Shawn-- from the same album (Alchemy) "Romeo and Juliet"-- it's a beautiful song 😍
This is a vibe and a half.
John Illsley probably the best bassist no one knows by name.
Not too many have heard of Terry Williams, but this is a showcase of his finest work!
Remember this is the guys just warming up the first song on alchemy amazing 👏
Great point about music sometimes matching the complexity of emotions with a variety of instruments.
Remember this is just a warming up track sooo amazing 👏.
This was the first big concert and on the night 🌙 was the last 1983 till 1992 amazing 👏.
Amazing from Mr knopler.
Amazing version, nice find.
Audience is fully engaged....no cell phones back then! 👍
It feels like the guitar adds a lot of irony to the narrative. What do you all think? Listen carefully to it. Mark is like a ventroloquist and his guitar is his other voice.
Great reaction video! Well done!
Remember this is them guys just warming up.
I don't know if you know but when Sony introduced the cd its was dire straits they chose to launch it amazing 1985 .
So amazing! So glad you played this! Mark as usual is great and the band is stellar! What a treat!!
He's a fookin guitar genius END OF 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Alchemy is a masterpiece! People who dont appreciate dire straits are simply not smart enough to see it!
I love your reaction.
Hello brother, I thought I drop off another suggestion in case you're interested. "Dire Straits - So Far Away Live at Wembley 1985)" Mark Knopfler is most certainly one of the best guitarists of the 70's and 80's. (IMO) and he's just so fun to watch.
I agree but I would say from the 70's to the present! He's made lots of great music since the 80's...with Dire Straits (they were back together from 1990-1995) and solo. I saw him in concert in 2015 and thought he sounded better than ever.
Masterpiece. Almost the best of Alchemy, very close to Sultans of Swing drums!!
you can even get a bullet from the peece - keeping uniform.
IF YOU LIKE GUITARISTS START LISTENING TO "DAVID GILMOUR" & (PINK FLOYD)
but the clean sound comes out from knopler fingers.
Once is not custom, I prefer the studio version, which is much more reggae-country in a subtle mix, and whose intro is better mastered.
Your post makes no sense(google translate's fault I guess) The studio version is perfection, but as live goes, this is as perfect as you're ever gonna get!
(as far as mastering, this is quoted from the Alchemy blu-ray; "this is a recording of execerpts of one Dire Straits performance, it contain no re-recording or overdubs of any kind")
@@tynzolav Hello,
Oops, please excuse my bad English, I'm French. I didn't use Google.
Maybe, it's "mastered" which doesn't make sense?
I meant the way the song starts and not the quality of the recording or the way it was technically recorded.
I don't know how you say "mastering an instrument" (knowing how to use it), or still, "sublimate an intro." In French, we say "maîtriser." 😊
When Mark played this solo he had a full "Ennio Morricone" style intro ua-cam.com/video/wB7LNZyEpMk/v-deo.html
Pick!
They lost some of their edge after Pick left.
Take me away....😊
Our host says he's never heard Dire Straits " miss "...true, DS doesn't miss, save one song....do not listen to " Les Boys "
And DS is better live
Yeah, I normally skip that one too. Still, nobody's perfect.
Les Boys is a great song, very much in the vein of Sultans of Swing lyrically.
@@dg76 in what freaking universe is that even remotely true? Boring musically, and lyrically, an utter failure at sarcasm. Facts, and facts don't care about your ill-formed opinions
Yeah, I don't get the hate for Les Boys. It's another example of Mark's superb story telling combined with a musical style that reflects that story and where it's taking place. I can only assume it's the subject matter than some don't like.
