Blessed for having been alive and old enough to watch it when it was first released. Double blessed for being young enough to find it again so freely available (kind of) on youtube. Those were the days, these are the days, my friend. Legends. Absolute Legends!!!!
E eu que vivenciei o som, servi Clapton no San Lorenzo em knighbridge, uma semana após o acidente com o filho em NYC , antes da musica ( ... If i ser you in the heaven....)e TB servi knofler, no Elevem Park Walk, em Chelsea. I feel blessed! God blessed ALL who read This!
Depends on the original source music, and it may be remastered and digitalized. Much like up scaling video, so yes it can be done. It all depends on the Codec, and whether it’s been stripped down to smaller file size in order to upload faster.
As long as the sound is good and the vídeo shows you decently what the are doing and playing it is good for me. But this vídeo real is superb and watchable on big screens.
And because of that I can tell you’re a content man; who’s, for the most part, enjoying life. By the way, I’m 58 and working some challenging stuff out (which I will do), but I wish you an all the best ‘rockin’ and ‘rollin’ my friend. 🤘🎸
You cannot compare guitarists. They have their own way and sound. Style and integrity. Anyone who can sound close to the edge as they do, has it made... The best about it all is that the people have an amazing bunch of amazing people to give them MUSIC !
Mark always looks like he is having such a good time up there. No matter if it is HIS concert or not -- those smiles of his. Music is his life, no matter whose it is. Love him.
@@ChristianWelbury I actually love the song "Cocaine", to the chagrin of my parents with that music came out. I just love the energy and the rhythm of it. No personal experience with cocaine in my my past at all, but I sure love the song. Layla is good, but it is so overplayed. Or at least it WAS there for a while.
@@ChristianWelbury I was a fan of music from the time I got my first portable radio/record player when I was 9. I took it everywhere. The first song I ever heard on my new radio was Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth." Whenever I hear that song, I am still that little girl, bopping to the beat of my shiny new red radio. I have since expanded my musical taste to include just about every genre. I love discovering music I would ordinarily not listen to. Having teenagers in the house really opened up my mind when it came to music. So glad it did. I cannot live without some song in my head or some beat in my bones.
@@patsy5294 are you a musician also? I will like to listen to your song or your voice 😀. Do you have a private email address so I can write to you private
What makes Mr. Clapton such a very special luminary in the world that he inhabits is the enormous ammount of ground he has covered and is still covering. A bluesman at heart, he has additionaly written and performed some of the most diverse and beautiful songs to come from one artist over the past 50 some odd years. The years have caught up with him which is why it's wonderful to watch this 1988 concert from Tokyo with Mark Knopfler. Eric Clapton set the bar high and so many other performers work very hard in attempting to reach it.

Over the years i have come to appreciate mr Ray Cooper on percussions. Who ever may be the main star , he always seems to be the guy who enjoys the most being there . Its a real pleasure to look for him on the back and see how much fun he's having ! I 'm a real fan , keep on banging on those bongos Ray ! 🎉🥁🪘🎶
For me it's the opposite - I never understood why he appeared on so many concerts. In fact I always get annoyed seeing him with his silly poses in the background. To my ears he doesn't add a thing to the musical experience.
Clapton fan since Cream. Took his music with me all over the world where Uncle Sam took me, even when the other guys were shooting at us in the '60s and '70s. Now 2024, enjoying the music in my 70s. Girls came and went, but Clapton's music is still with me.
Got ya brother. Was there and the music was the only saving grace. Bad as it was I would go back in a minute just to do it again and live on the edge. Peace out my friend.
Dang, when mark knopfler is next to you and dueling you and you clearly are the virtuoso on stage, you know you’re in a very tight group of guitar GOATS. Clapton is a stud. Love that they’re dressed like 80s bankers too 😂
@@andree.b4723 Maybe you and your frinds looked like bankers, we looked like rebells and hippies... Better said, we hated bankers (for the eternal red numbers) in our sad bank accounts and dreamed about the perfect bank robbery... Be careful banker, if you look like an overpaid bank employed you maybe get ripped off... depending the district of the city...
HELP! Every time I try to click away from this video and go do non-procrastinatory things, Eric Clapton goes wild on his guitar and I am paralyzed by awesomeness.
1 hr 11m 22s into this Elton starts something magical and eventually shows us what a great piano player he is. Just look at the faces of Mark, Eric and Nathan as they enjoy letting rip with Elton. Magic! Fabulous. This is what playing music with other people is all about: Having super fun, rising to another level of existence and taking the audience with you :)
Tre grandissimi eccezionali musicisti eric clapton Elton john e mark kopfner hanno fatto la storia della musica rock country blues mondiale con le loro splendide bellissime canzoni e performance grazie tantissimo a voi 3 per le splendide emozioni che ci avete regalato con le vostre stupende musiche ❤❤❤ thank you so much you are wonderful
I agree, this was the most incredible " rockin' " on piano I've seen in my short 57 yrs of life! And I have been admiring Sir Elton for decades now, as well as Mark K and Eric. We are blessed to witness such great musicians. (incl Sting)
It's true...I'm afraid it will never be the same again. What good music...young people. All top musicians...top vocals. A superb concert that can be listened to non-stop every day.
Really wonderful experience to see Knopfler playing support for Elton. Doesn't try to steal the show, just picks out beautiful notes to enhance Elton's performance. Fantastic musician, and knows what the music needs.
These kids are a ton of noobs, they can't even play claw. And they are hard scoping, no 1080 no scopes or killstreaks. Nothing but flak jacket one man army noob tube campers boosting with tactical insertion.
I was living in Portland, OR in the late 80s and this tour was there for a couple nights...getting to see/hear these two slingers on the same stage for a whole concert was one of the high points of my concert-going career! WOW.,..just, wow!
I saw Elton & Ray in 1980, Eric in 83 and Mark in 85 but all of them together? 🤯 My mind is blown... As much as I love Dire Straits It is a joy to see Mark play on these songs! Wow!
And! Got the full version of 'Money for Nothing' this time...only with the slightly more genteel substitution of 'queenie' for..the less-flattering epithet. I'm not a fan of editing things in general, but...Elton John is there with them this time..
This is the unedited footage from the concert which has been professionally remastered for 4K quality. This version contains tracks not present on the official DVD disc.
It's very hard to compare who is the best guitar player, there where so many they were the very best at what they expressed,I love them very much 🎉❤ They are a part of me at 64 and for ever more!!🎉❤
EC loves playing in Japan, and MK always gets the best of him. Too good for words. Just pure joy of the experience,ce. Oh to have been there with them.
Mr Knopfler looks a completely different man, a suit on, his hairs cut, combed and smoothed down and keeps looking tentively at Eric Clapton, 2 GREATS and I'd only at the beginning 😶 Magic
I was born in 57 …… and heard the best …. like Knophler , Springsteen , CCR ,Fleetwood Mac, Styx, Foreigner, Nazareth ,Neil Young , JJ Cale , on and on and on 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎼🎵🎶🎵🎼🎶
I watch this and I wonder when the world became such a bland place by comparison? Absolutely incredible concert, the music is phenomenal, the talent unparalleled, and I can't believe I watched all 2+ hours of it non-stop. Thanks for putting this together and posting -- it makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even around for.
I learned recently that it has to do with a major piece of legislation signed during the Clinton era. It gave media companies the power to buy all the radio stations and consolidate operations. So dj's could no longer choose their own music. And producers have to answer to levels of bureaucracy- so I guess it affected the record industry too.
@@molliedash6126If that is true then that's so f&#%Ed up. What we hear on the airwaves now is.... There's no description for it. I was born in 1955 so I know good music and lyrics when I hear it... Especially as I'm sipping Johnny Walker and coke a cola in a tall glass loaded with ice on a warm evening in the Caribbean island Trinidad. 😜 Sweeeeet muzic.
Not sure this could be any better!! 36 years later……..Fucking timeless!! Thank you for this wonderful concert!! Totally digging it!! Very HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!! Thank you so much!! ❤️🎸❤️🎸 Denise from Boston XO!!!
I listen to this every day. Sometimes twice a day. Love them all. In 7th through 9th grade, all we listened to was Elton. What a Master. Thank you Markie, Eric and Elton!! ❤ U Forever!!❤❤❤
Thanks to both of these dudes for providing the soundtrack during the best time of this iteration of existence. The fortune of experiencing music is abundant here.
I'VE BEEN TO THE CROSSROADS ONE TIME TOO MANY TIMES BUT I'D CERTAINLY LOVE TO GO TO THE CROSS ROADS WITH THESE EVER AWSOME DUDES, PEACE AND LOVE ALWAYS TO ERIC CLAPTON AND ALL INTHIS BAND🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤LAURA IN TEXAS USA ❤❤❤
Yes, and we don't see tattoos anywhere, thank God. In my opinion tattoos make entertainers look so ugly. These handsome men obviously have class and their suits and physical appearance are like icing on a delicious cake! P.S. I am exactly one month older than Eric Clapton! I'm an old lady with good taste. And it happened so fast!
Clapton es un maestro en el punteo, riff o digitación de la guitarra, como resultante de su trabajo de horas a tocar el instrumento,disciplina que muy pocos tienen, de ahí su virtuosismo..!
November 21, 1987 Eric went back to Hazleton for a 2nd treatment and returned home for Christmas. It’s interesting that he went right back into touring in 1988 sober now, and for the rest of his life. Here is some background information on the year of 1988 and the workload of the tour: (( BROADCAST RECORDING FROM ERIC CLAPTON S 25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN 1988 - FEATURING ELTON JOHN. Eric Clapton s 25th Anniversary Tour, featuring Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler among band members, was arranged to celebrate what was, in the late-1980s, Clapton s quarter century in the music business. Beginning on January 22, 1988 in Birmingham and ending on November 5 the same year in Osaka, the tour led through Asia, Europe and North America. Announced in December 1987 the tour quickly sold out and during 42 concerts, including four in Japan, 12 in the United Kingdom and 26 in the United States and Canada, Eric and band performed in front of more than 500,000 concertgoers, taking around 14 million US dollars in revenue. On November 2nd, the entourage performed at Japan s Tokyo Dome, for a show which was recorded for live broadcast on TV and FM radio, both in Japan and across the US. Elton John performed both solo on a couple of numbers during the concert, and alongside Clapton and band for several more songs. This entire gig is now presented on this 2CD Set in perfect quality for the first time. ))
Concerto strepitoso, con due grandissimi chitarristi, tra i migliori al mondo, che suonano insieme ad una band affiatatissima di accompagnamento. Un video tecnicamente ineccepibile, rende bene l'idea della bravura dei musicisti e dell'atmosfera dell'esibizione live. Grazie a chi l'ha realizzato e postato su UA-cam. 🙂
I was born in early 66, and so glad i came in time to appreciate all of this great stuff and got to see all three of them play live. Separately that this. Seeing all three on the same stage at the same time, would have been a dream.
What an awesome show. Clapton, Knopfler, Elton John plus Nathan East, Tessa Niles, Ray Cooper, Alan Clark, Steve Ferrone… and Tracy Ackerman, whom I didn’t know. All excelent in their own right.
Wow Wow Wow! The intro to Crossroads alone is worth a mint! Then right into Straight-Ahead 12-Bar Blues at its Absolute Best! And then, for a nice change of pace, we get "Money For Nothing"! Just realized how complex it is. 💥
Hear the intro to I shot the sheriff! Just the independent piece of music, and smoothly passing to original song. Eric's solo, started around 18:00 is also different to what I know, I think it was from influence of playing with Mark - it's more delicate. Good sound mixing, I can still hear Mark putting extra notes to the complex solo. Marvelous cooperation. And Sally - roughly 24:00 such country riffs by Mark. After finding the video I can't resist to play it few times per week. Thanks, KnopflertkUnlimited for posting it! Regarding "Money" you see how different had Mark played it. Such a show, and then! Comes the boss! From the title I didn't expect the presence of Elton John and was highly surprised. Music, which they performed together is very unique, what else to say? It's good that probably will last in UA-cam for years.
このコンサートの前の名古屋でのライブを観賞しました。この動画を見てとても懐かしく思い出しました。 I saw their live performance in Nagoya the day before this concert. Watching this video brought back some very nostalgic memories.
Pour moi c'est le meilleur conçert live de Sir Eric Clapton. Il faut aussi mentioner que tous les membres du Band sont les grands musiciens. Je me régale à chaque fois que je revois ce concert. Merci
I am 72 yo & honored to have grown up in the age of Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler! I will never stop loving them. 💯❤️❤️💯
Well, said I am 74 and listening to them right now
These two are more ❤then a Class Act ❤❤❤❤ beyound their talent ❤❤their lyrics 😢😢😢😢

Right, so no point.
Depends on the original source music, and it may be remastered and digitalized. Much like up scaling video, so yes it can be done.
It all depends on the Codec, and whether it’s been stripped down to smaller file size in order to upload faster.
As long as the sound is good and the vídeo shows you decently what the are doing and playing it is good for me. But this vídeo real is superb and watchable on big screens.

It is among the best concerts of both Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler.

Eric Clapton is great, so is Mark Knopfler.
Together they are wonderful

Absolutely incredible concert, the music is phenomenal, the talent unparalleled, and I can't believe I watched all 2+ hours of it non-stop. Thanks for putting this together and posting -- it makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even around for.
ya mean a bad place ?
wtf happened ?
I was at Mozart's first symphony debut & he brought the house down by lighting his powdered wig on fire. What a showman - those were the days!
I learned recently that it has to do with a major piece of legislation signed during the Clinton era. It gave media companies the power to buy all the radio stations and consolidate operations. So dj's could no longer choose their own music. And producers have to answer to levels of bureaucracy- so I guess it affected the record industry too.
clear! 💥 what channel yo?
@@molliedash6126If that is true then that's so f&#%Ed up. What we hear on the airwaves now is.... There's no description for it. I was born in 1955 so I know good music and lyrics when I hear it... Especially as I'm sipping Johnny Walker and coke a cola in a tall glass loaded with ice on a warm evening in the Caribbean island Trinidad. 😜 Sweeeeet muzic.
Excellent concert. Eric, Mark, Nathan Elton and Steve are masters of their crafts. Nathan singing background for Elton was super.

You wanna talk about people who make their guitar literally sing... 😊❤
My son just received a new set of strings at our home.
Not sure this could be any better!! 36 years later……..Fucking timeless!! Thank you for this wonderful concert!! Totally digging it!! Very HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!! Thank you so much!! ❤️🎸❤️🎸
Denise from Boston XO!!!
Look Mark looks awesome!!
What a JOY to watch! A blessing!
Never compare kings of their trade. In their own genres, they are both magicians...like serious magicians. Both absolutely brilliant
I listen to this every day. Sometimes twice a day. Love them all. In 7th through 9th grade, all we listened to was Elton. What a Master. Thank you Markie, Eric and Elton!! ❤ U Forever!!❤❤❤

I love this music.
These were the day's when they wore nice clothes and played awesome music and sang wonderful songs that meant something🥰
Unlike today...now they look like construction workers!
They were skilled! Top performers.
I make sure I wear good cloths including a tie especially when I go to see blues or soul performers. It's out of respect for their talent.
Dos genios
Yes, and we don't see tattoos anywhere, thank God. In my opinion tattoos make entertainers look so ugly. These handsome men obviously have class and their suits and physical appearance are like icing on a delicious cake! P.S. I am exactly one month older than Eric Clapton! I'm an old lady with good taste. And it happened so fast!
Clapton es un maestro en el punteo, riff o digitación de la guitarra, como resultante de su trabajo de horas a tocar el instrumento,disciplina que muy pocos tienen, de ahí su virtuosismo..!
November 21, 1987 Eric went back to Hazleton for a 2nd treatment and returned home for Christmas. It’s interesting that he went right back into touring in 1988 sober now, and for the rest of his life. Here is some background information on the year of 1988 and the workload of the tour:
(( BROADCAST RECORDING FROM ERIC CLAPTON S 25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN 1988 - FEATURING ELTON JOHN. Eric Clapton s 25th Anniversary Tour, featuring Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler among band members, was arranged to celebrate what was, in the late-1980s, Clapton s quarter century in the music business. Beginning on January 22, 1988 in Birmingham and ending on November 5 the same year in Osaka, the tour led through Asia, Europe and North America. Announced in December 1987 the tour quickly sold out and during 42 concerts, including four in Japan, 12 in the United Kingdom and 26 in the United States and Canada, Eric and band performed in front of more than 500,000 concertgoers, taking around 14 million US dollars in revenue. On November 2nd, the entourage performed at Japan s Tokyo Dome, for a show which was recorded for live broadcast on TV and FM radio, both in Japan and across the US. Elton John performed both solo on a couple of numbers during the concert, and alongside Clapton and band for several more songs. This entire gig is now presented on this 2CD Set in perfect quality for the first time. ))

Concerto strepitoso, con due grandissimi chitarristi, tra i migliori al mondo, che suonano insieme ad una band affiatatissima di accompagnamento. Un video tecnicamente ineccepibile, rende bene l'idea della bravura dei musicisti e dell'atmosfera dell'esibizione live. Grazie a chi l'ha realizzato e postato su UA-cam. 🙂
saw Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall in 87. he had Knopfler on guitar and Phil Collins on drums. One of the best concerts i ever saw.
Awesome. Saw Eric in Toronto with Mark on this tour. Thanks for posting
Greatest verision of Layla ever (and i've seen many). Intro, solo, Elton and smoking guitar - Eric is GOAT!

Марк и Эрик на одной сцене это очень круто! Эффект взорвавшейся бомбы! Невероятно красиво! Огромное Уважение!Спасибо! ❤👍👍👏
I was born in early 66, and so glad i came in time to appreciate all of this great stuff and got to see all three of them play live. Separately that this. Seeing all three on the same stage at the same time, would have been a dream.
What an awesome show. Clapton, Knopfler, Elton John plus Nathan East, Tessa Niles, Ray Cooper, Alan Clark, Steve Ferrone… and Tracy Ackerman, whom I didn’t know. All excelent in their own right.
Saw this in Calgary 1988. Yes it was amazing
Just when I thought I'd found the best versions of 'I Shot' (prob my all time favourite live Clapton track), I stumble across this...
❤❤❤❤
And lace Sensor pickups made that Sound very spezial.. really cool😎😎
Wow Wow Wow! The intro to Crossroads alone is worth a mint! Then right into Straight-Ahead 12-Bar Blues at its Absolute Best! And then, for a nice change of pace, we get "Money For Nothing"! Just realized how complex it is. 💥
Knopfler plays different from anyone else.
Hear the intro to I shot the sheriff! Just the independent piece of music, and smoothly passing to original song. Eric's solo, started around 18:00 is also different to what I know, I think it was from influence of playing with Mark - it's more delicate. Good sound mixing, I can still hear Mark putting extra notes to the complex solo. Marvelous cooperation. And Sally - roughly 24:00 such country riffs by Mark. After finding the video I can't resist to play it few times per week. Thanks, KnopflertkUnlimited for posting it! Regarding "Money" you see how different had Mark played it. Such a show, and then! Comes the boss! From the title I didn't expect the presence of Elton John and was highly surprised. Music, which they performed together is very unique, what else to say? It's good that probably will last in UA-cam for years.

Awesome watching virtuosos just playing and having fun. They are great when they play together. Such joy and respect

I saw this concert. I should be somewhere in the crowd. I forgot the venue, Probably Tokyo dome or Budokan. Thank you for posting this.
2 of my very favorite guitarists on the same stage! I wish I could have seen this concert in person.
このコンサートの前の名古屋でのライブを観賞しました。この動画を見てとても懐かしく思い出しました。
I saw their live performance in Nagoya the day before this concert. Watching this video brought back some very nostalgic memories.
