Mark Knopfler is obviously a race fan. Song just brilliantly captures the incredible elation ALL drivers must feel when they are the first to greet the checkered flag in a major auto race. Simply unbelievably stirring guitar playing to match strongest of emotions people feel at car races. Love it!!
My dad has made me love him! He's listened to MK since 1986, and passively ive listening to him to for all my life as his records was played very often by my dad. And Now I realize that I live MK music.. Its amazing that Mark still makes brilliant music, he's not like most of the rockstars which make world-famous hits in their youth and sleep on their old laurels for the rest of their lifes. Cheers to Mark Knopfer, an amazing musician!
Love this song. Brings chills to my soul. The ending is extremely incredible and on fire. Great solo is so intense like lightning hitting the ground. Doesn't get better than this WOW exceptional 🙂
Non ci soni parole per descrivere tale meraviglia di musicista. Dei tuoi Dire non c'è più traccia ma il percorso che hai intrapreso è a dir poco sorprendente. Bravo a non cedere alle lusinghe di una valanga di soldi per una riunione della band. Guarda quanto sono patetici i Pink Floyd a insistere. Tanto di cappello ad un artista con la tua coerenza e la tua capacità di guardare avanti. Mark tu non sai quanto sei amato qui in Italia. Buon Anno, ovunque tu sia.
This amazing drummer is Danny Cummings. This amazing singer, songwriter, musician is why I fell in love with the guitar...HIS guitar. Thanks for the up.
What amazes me about Knopfler (besides the obvious guitar) is his ability to home in on various aspects of American culture in his songwriting. Speedway, Baloney, Philadelphia, Boom ... all insightful songs written by an Englishman without having come of age over here ...
Fabulous stuff by Knoepfler there.One of my all time favourite guitar tracks by one of the best guitarists ever.If you listen to that track on the CD, (I think it was on 'Sailing to Philadelphia' ),it is even better than what you just heard.Cheers Mark,great stuff!!!
Underrated= to rate too low, to underestimate; to not get the credit or praise something deserves. If you really believe that this solo is, in fact, as appreciated in the music world (and I mean in all of the music world- as much as 'Brothers in Arms', for instance, or 'Sultans of Swing'- then you are correct. I however believe that this song and solo have never received the attention they merit. It is excellent work...as is nearly everything by Knopfler.
Its awesome song to listen in live. I remember having goosebumps when i was listening it in his concert. And the sound of the guitar, its just fenomenale.
Since i can remember this musician has made me listen and wonder what the hand can do... To say that i love Mark, Lol he is a family member... I hope i get to talk to him one day... I play the guitar but he owns it!!!!.
I went with a friend many years ago to Nazareth Speedway for the stock car races. I never dreamed anyone would immortalize what those modified drivers used to do at places like that, Reading, and Penn National in a great song.
I saw this played on the Shangri-La tour three times in 05 and then again on the All the Roadrunning Tour with Emmylou! Bloody amazing! You guessed it..I'm a big MK fan!
Hard note to get a nice tone out of a Paul, but that said, he has always had impeccable tone regardless of what he's playing. Playing fingerstyle helps alot with that. And agreed, he is soooo tasty. His control of his dynamics and his sense of timing are stellar as well. In the Sultans solo, he starts hitting those fast lines, they are RIGHT on the beat. Anyone can play fast, but can the play fast and steady? And from the heart? But a few and he's one
With regard to the above comment...hes like a fine wine...greats better with age...you have to remember the Straits started away back in the late 70's and hes well in his 50's now! give him a break!
Quel giorno ero a Roma e non avevo la testa giusta per andare a sentire l'immenso Mark. Che poi non ci sia nessuno che suoni come lui, come dice la signora Simona Battistelli, beh... da fan di Mark dico, senza ombra di smentite, che ce ne sono meglio di lui. Non molti certamente.
Rino De Lucia non sono le classifiche fatte da "giornalini" che devono solo continuare a vendere, che possono decidere cosa un grande musicista, compositore, poeta dice al mio cuore, alla mia anima, alle mie orecchie. Sentirlo suonare è andare in paradiso ogni volta. Soprattutto dal vivo. Quindi..per me...e per moltissimi altri mi risulta...rimane il piu' grande
Cara Simona Battistelli, personalmente me ne impippo delle classifiche tant'è che, per quel che mi riguarda, la 44-esima posizione data al nostro Mark dalla (prestigiosa?, mah!) rivista Rolling Stone è pura bestemmia. Sopratutto se confrontata con la 4^ di Keith Richards e di tanti altri che lo precedono. Ma tant'è! Te ne dico un'altra, così tanto per intenderci; gente come SRV, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Robert Cray, Pete Townshend, Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa mi emozionano addirittura più di "sua maestà" Hendrix. Non solo, addirittura, qli ultimi due del mio elenco nemmeno figurano in quella cazzo di classifica dove ti ritrovi invece un Rory Gallagher (addirittura!) dopo di un qualunque The Edge!!! Dunque di quali classifiche vogliamo parlare?!
From 3:25, Mark's really got his hands full! This is frickkin' awesome, I don't know any other song like this, a uniquely-toned solo - still puts the hackles up on my spine after so many times.
Like Clapton ,Dylan on and then off of course... Knopfler gets better,deeper and wiser and closer to God in his music and he wants us to know which is good. Strong statement!
Its just pure guitar by the best, jujst listen the video after 4th minute to the end of fantastic guitar, ikts just amazing but again its Mark nothing is amazing for him
Just doesnt get ANY better! Mark is a total legend!
Click if you agree. One of the few older artists like Bruce Springstein who can still write and play top quality songs to this day!

One of the best versions of this, currently my favorite MK song. Wow!!
Velmi obdivujem Marka,je proste pre každý štýl hudby,je jedno s kým hrá,je to jednotka..!!
absolutely stunning, that guitar will sleep well after this
excellent..........he is the best!
the solo between 4th minute to 5th on this video is one of the all time best. He is just a genius, the best

I wish he were loved just as much here in the States

tremendo
no se puede con tanta perfección en directo. La mejor canción. Brutal, bestial, espeluznante.

Che ricordi,che ricordi....fantastico...non ci sono parole!
That lick at 5:22.... just phenomenal!
That song send chills down my neck, literally. Beautiful solo, liquified guitar playing.
Fabulous stuff by Knoepfler there.One of my all time favourite guitar tracks by one of the best guitarists ever.If you listen to that track on the CD,
(I think it was on 'Sailing to Philadelphia' ),it is even better than what you just heard.Cheers Mark,great stuff!!!
One of the best quality videos I've seen on youtube...
Absolutely magnificent!!! Stunning..what a masterpiece..this man makes this world a better place!!!

Its awesome song to listen in live. I remember having goosebumps when i was listening it in his concert. And the sound of the guitar, its just fenomenale.
incredibile non ci sono parole come sempre
un vero genio
Capolavoro assoluto... quel concerto mi ha fatto vivere forti emozioni, non lo dimenticherò...
When the song begins to "build" it seems you can hear those racecar wheels rollin' - what a fabulous song
this is the best version I ever heard
Valeu Mark!
Песня потрясающая,звук отличный.
Спасибо!
Могу слушать бесконечно, нравится,что так много гитары Марка.
Eu também, eu posso ouvir sem me cansar.
Since i can remember this musician has made me listen and wonder what the hand can do... To say that i love Mark, Lol he is a family member... I hope i get to talk to him one day... I play the guitar but he owns it!!!!.
Agreed. I live 10 minutes from here, and I so miss going back. We really need it back in the racing world.
volume à fond !!!!!
Go Mark ! Go ! u r number 1 !!!
I went with a friend many years ago to Nazareth Speedway for the stock car races. I never dreamed anyone would immortalize what those modified drivers used to do at places like that, Reading, and Penn National in a great song.
Una de las mejores versiones de Speedway at Nazareth en directo para una de las mejores giras, la del 2005.
Mark en estado puro!
Mark can sing his song to his 90. All this time we'll glad!!
This has got to be one of the greatest underrated guitar solos!!!
it makes me sad to see him this old,his dead will be a dark cloud over the future of music MK FOREVER
