The golden age of Dire Straits
I was there that night. Never forget this concert. Most people came for Roxy Music or Mike Oldfield but Dire Straits blew them all away.
I was also there, serving in the Raf, after the concert got dropped off at Dusseldorf Airport to fly home for Christmas. It was also the night Roxy Music played Jealous Guy, for the first time. Great times.
@@davidbootland3407 Yes it was just 14 days after John Lennon was murdered and Dire Straits played the Song "News" for him. Was very emotional. But also the first time, that Mark Knopfler played a Schecter guitar in Europe. I still remember staring his guitar and only thought "That´s not a Fender"😄
Can't believe how cheap it was for that night, imagine what they would try and charge for four bands of that status in one show nowadays.
I was also there knopfler was just sweeping his hair over his baldy dome all night.but he can play 3 chords pretty avarage
@@williamglover3625 Get some taste, Willydumdum
It's simple: Mark Knopfler is the best guitar player in the world!
No he's not so shut it ok😊
One of the greatest rock guitar player
É quem não gosta ponha á borda do prato
@@williamglover3625 Get some taste, Willydummy
Best guitar thumb of all time.😊
Simply sublime. National treasure.... Hell, international treasure is Mark Knopfler. The whole band were full of utter class. Imagine a world without DS and Mark Knopfler.... No thanks. Lol. No words can give justice to how talented Knopfler is with songwriting, from its creation to its live performance. Wow!
MARK knopfler é um patrimônio da humanidade
He’s the total package! Fantastic guitarist, great lyricist and incredibly cool front man/singer.
speaking to you from the states sir-have to agree-international treasure comes closer
@@doubtingthomas51 absolutely 😊
The way Mark swings his guitar at 2:30 when there's that small "break" is just simple, short but still wonderful. He just plays his guitar with such passion that it's a part of his body!
For sure. Good way to put it - his guitar is an extension of his body.
The beginning of the schecter era... How many wonderful gigs deserve to be remastered and published for all the fans.
So good he changed the pickups
He has never played a schecter.
@@jipangoo I think he played at least one Schecter. That red guitar he played in that concert is a Schecter. 🎸
@@Gitarreroblue it's his red stratocaster. He has never ever played a schecter. Look it up.
Schecter era????????
Some people just love to lie.
"No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn, your hands are cold but your lips are warm" transports me back in time. I still feel the way I felt 40 years ago.
I was 17 yo in the 1979 and was smitten by this song and Sultans of Swing when a friend lent me his cassette tape. Just could get my ears of the player then.
That's how you play a Fender. Awesome Mark, you rock!
Yep, despite the clean "in between" tone.
You don't necessarily need "High Gain" to play real R'n'R, just another "weird" song!!
My favorite Dire Straits song.
Man kann sich nicht satt hören daran.
1980...Und immer noch frisch. Unglaublich, die Musik damals. Das kommt nie mehr.
I always felt its the whole band…not just mark knopfler…because dire straits sounds incredibly musical.though its based on mark knopfler’s direction and ideas,the band members played crucial role in creating the DS sound.its simply unmatched
good comment, facts
Truth
Yes. They are a great band. The organ gets too loud a and messes up Lions but it's great. Pick Withers was and still is a fantastic drummer. Right here he may be the most impressive one on the stage. At this point they have those older songs whooped.
Agree. At this time in the early 80's, they were one of the best live bands in the world.
@@deanallen927 Mark was still using vintage-type amps with the new amped-up band. Once he improved his guitar power with mellower pickups but louder amps, the balance was fixed.
This whole band is legend 👍
Dire Straits is the most best band on the world! Their music is so delights me, so inspires and so impresses! Mark Knopfler is genius! Legend!
I remember Mark saying of his 1st guitar he played the basic note until he felt sick... and so the basics create what we live and enjoy in eternity... 😎
Mark Knopler is in a class all his own. Absolute, great guitarist. Fashioned his style from the great guitarist, Chet Atkins. Love Dire Straits!!
His right hand is lethal. He’s definitely one of my favourite guitar players. Grew up listening to this guy
But he's actually left-handed!
Yep. I learned he’s actually left-handed but plays right-handed and also picks the strings, which is incredible!
BEST OF BEST.Mark Knopfler is an genius of the music.I LOVE this.
I love these early songs so much. It's just great to hear (to me) previously unheard versions after all these years.
Mark Knopfler my superhero on guitar since a long time 🤗👍🎸
Love these old concert clips - would love it even more if the full shows were released to buy!
I was at this show, 4 awesome bands for less than you would pay for a drink at a gig nowadays.
@@davidbootland3407 I saw DS for $32 in 1992; MK solo in 1997 was $79 and $99. Pass!
@@davidbootland3407 You can't imagine how jealous I am... I'm 18 years old and saying that I love Dire Straits is an understatement. I would give everything to experience them live. Too bad I won't be able to.
@FVT-tn8ji I also saw them again around 6 months later in Dusseldorf, myself and 2 friends went into Munchengladbach in the afternoon and managed to get tickets for the gig and travelled up the same day. Brilliant live, never got to see them again.
Entertainer that sing by heart through his voice and fingers.....
Mark Knopfler wrote the soundtrack to my life. Thankyou Sir. Absolutely love all of your music.
Hopefully we will get to see you again in New Zealand.
Mark o melhor guitarrista do mundo
This will always be my favorite dire straits song to the lyrics take me back to when I was a poor young man living on the road. And his guitar is so sweet!
What a wonderful DS treasure from the early 80s, incl. the great Schecter in its first guise. Lovely loose spontaneous playing by the whole band, full of energy and playing pleasure. A joy to watch. More of this please.
This is perfect song to a ending a Tarantino movie!!!
DIRE STRAITS A MELHOR BANDA DO PLANETA !!! SIMPLESMENTE THE BEST !!! 👋👋👋👍👍👍
i am always in a trance... MK is always running thro' my mind and always in a loop...
Knofler leads the orchestra,marvelous...
The best! 👏👏👏👏🎶🎸🇧🇷
Я заметил что в Бразилии очень много людей любят эту группу! 👍
Sim
Those were the days when you had to decide whether to buy records or food, had no problem buying the first album, still some of their best ❤
The days when I had to save up to buy records.
Food for the SOUL... Early Dire Straits🎶🎸🤍😊🌠
right-tho sometimes a record turned out to be the heartiest, most sustaining meal
Cosa dire:!!!!What to say:!!!!MASTER LEGEND of " MUSIC "
It was 1980 when i've first time heard TUNNEL OF LOVE when i've discovered the DIRE STRAITS
Today i'm still listenig THEM
Such a GREAT "MUSIC"
I'm so grateful. THANKS
Probably the best version of the band with the steady, staccato drumming of Pick Withers and the strong rhythm playing of Hal Lindes. I love Terry Williams, but it was a different sound when he played: heavier and more rock-n-roll. Pick always seemed like more of a jazz drummer, which is my preference for this type of music. Wish I could've seen them back then. To those of you who did, much envy!
Great music and fantastic band !
Bravo👏👏👏
Love,love!!
Sempre unico e stupendo Mark ❤
When I was 14, I used to frequent a record shop called "Kithareon" in my home town of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. The owner, knowing my musical tastes, motioned me to the listening booth and said, "what do you think of this new band, and this, the first song on the album, blew me away. I later moved towards heavy metal, ending up for 15 years as the lead singer, lead guitarist and songwriter of a heavy metal band called The Uninvited.
But I always have time for some Dire Straits. And this song still blows me away, although several DS songs do now. I have all their albums on cassette, CD and as digital downloads.
I have the first 3 original vinyl LP's..
Totally worn down, from lifting the tunes.
If you weren't there, you can't understand what a big deal Dire Straits where at the time..
Sangue e sudore per tirare fuori l ' anima da queste belle canzoni Rock .bravi Dires.
Одна из лучших груп планеты, великолепная музыка и мастерство исполнения с первых минут очаровывают и проникают в сердце навсегда.
Это факт! Столько лет прошло, а его песни не надоедают.
Согласна на все сто!❤
L'un de mes titres préférés de Dire Straits depuis de longues années. Ce " live " est formidable tout comme le " live " et le solo de M.K pour Sultans of swing. Un REGAL :)
Я незнаю инглишь но я слушаю их ещё с 86 года. О мой год что за виртуоз этот Марк?!
Man, I played the crap out of this album when it came out! Kinda saved rock music at the time, or at least one of the late 70's albums that helped push disco away. (also George Thorogood and Joe Jackson)
Molto bravo e molto giovane in questo video Mark Knofler .
Io sono particolarmente orgogliosa , pk. Il papà era fuggito dal Ungheria .
Chissà , che cosa diventava se non incontrava un brava ragazza inglese .
Mark è cresciuto di una bellissima famiglia , che aiutava per la passione della musica , anche quando, invidiava il suo mito Hank Marvin con la chitarra elettrica rossa .
Complimenti Mark , ha superato il maestro !
Da una signora di over 70 , ed anche vengo dall' Ungheria!
Minden jót, és még sok sikert az életben.
Марк бог!Марк "кит в окране музыки". Каждая капля музыки-это нота.Марк - бог который равномерно их распределяет.От этой музыки хочется жить.Люблю,люблю-спасибо дорогой!!!❤❤❤
Россия тебя любит Марк!!!
Россия не змея никого не хочет убить.Мы не звери.Нас напрасно оговаривают.Да не трогайте вы своих,я к ним пришла!Я такая ,музыка не при чем.Марк достоянье всей Европы!
Это уникальный человек. Он просто в университете изучал историю.Моего Марка нельзя трогать.Э то великая музыка!
Bester Musiker aller Zeiten!
I just love hearing the music it's the bomb
Really excited to see this…could you please upload the whole concert
Adoro Dire Straits, ouço sempre
Came for the live version of the first song, return daily for the second one
Yeahhhhhh saw them at amphitheater los Angeles. Leftme speechless and forever awed
Loved it...and I"m old. Listened to them years ago back when MTV was hot.
MK O MELHOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS ♥️🇧🇷
Way ahead of their time. Writing the future classics to go down in history and still be appreciated longer after they're hits. Shame that so many failures are in popular music.
This is a fantastic album,
❤Dire Straits KOCHAM od pierwszego usłyszenia do dzisiaj 🙌🎶🎶🎸💕💞💓💥💥💯
Ouço Dire Straits desde criança nos anos 80 !
MARK KNOPFLER MAGO SUPREMO DA GUITARRA
I wish I could've seen them in concert.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS I LOVE DIRE STRAITS 😍🤩🤎💜💙💚💗💞💕🤩😍💖🌻💚💙💗🤍🖤🌻❣❤
J'adore se groupe
I have always Loved Mark KNOPFLER. His GUITAR PLAYING IS HEAVEN.❤🎉😂😢😮😅😊
Wonderful upbeat performance. Love it.
One of my absolute Dire Straits favourites. I can't imagine why he stopped playing it in 1981 but it's a shame.
Same here. First track on the first Dire Straits album I bought back in 1980. Still a classic.
You mean 1982 I guess, 1981 was still on location. Tour, this one... Both songs were played in 1981.
For the lover of Dire Straits I suggest to see the italian group video of “Where Do You Think You Are
Going (Live in Verona)”. Excellent group and guitars.
❤ love for Dire Straits.
Spitzenklasse - einfach genial !
Sensacional essa banda é perfeita são maravilhosos ❤❤❤👏👏👏
I was at this concert, I was serving in RAF at Wildenrath at the time. Also on the bill were Roxy Music, Talking Heads and Mike Oldfield, all for equivalent of about £5. A brilliant show that ended at about 3 in the morning.
Maestri del Rock!!!!⭐
O cara é um gênio com essa guitarra na mão
I agree. Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitar player in the world. Chris Rea is definitely a close second.
Chris Rea is a fantastic songwriter and guitarist. One of my favourite :D Mark Knopfler is also one of the greatest with Chris Rea
Buenos días. Sublime Diré Straits. Grandes de la música. Genios 🎸🎸🎸🎸
They never failed to entertain me
nobody has ever played like that..damn
I’M IN LOVE! Oh, and the bass is AMAZING too!
Great quality!! 👏👏
Un fantastico Mark con la sua chitarra e bravo il batterista fondatore della band

Шикарно!!! Это называется Великолепная Музыка! Великолепный Музыкант! Музыка на Всю Жизнь.
Точно!!!
Dire Straits simply the Best of Best
Hoping he’ll tour (at least one more time) after he releases his next record this year. I’ve seen him (with Dire Straits and solo) 20+ times and they are some of my best music memories.
@@jaoski13 I envy you! I heard he retired several years ago. Would be nice if he changes his mind.
Beautiful l love them!
Essa banda é nota mil!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Man, this is so fu***g awesone!! Love Dire Straits!!!
Great
The golden years of my favorite rock band. Where's a time machine when you need one?
Sooo badasss
John Illsley is the best bassist!
Illsley never missed a note and never got in the way. One of the best in the business.
Encore merci pour tout ça !!!
I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready!!!
I've always been a great fan. Learnt all the bass lines from their first album, and a few of the second too. John Illsey got me to fall in love with the bass.
I Was lucky to be at the first rank at their Brest concert circa 1991, but was always somewhat dissapointed by their live performances (except the Alchemy Live, an absolute jewel), I like the more laid-back and perfection of their studio albums and never could really appreciate the way Mark Knopfler sings live.
Il chante avec un petit air cabotin, un petit peu faux, mais si expressif dans son air, comme si c'était un jeu. Et il joue bien.
