I agree with you about his lyrics but I also think Knopfler is such a talented songwriter that you can almost tell what his songs are about without hearing the lyrics.
For me the greatest band of all time and Mark has it all , prolific song writer and one of the most underrated guitar players of all time , he makes it look so easy and that's probably why he is so underrated, Mark did sound tracks for movies also, all of them stunning and has also produced albums for other artists including Bob Dylan, no end to his talent ❤
Underrated? He's one of the greatest and most loved guitar players of all time! The Joe Satriani and Steve Vai fans don't like him much because he does squeeze 100 unnecessary note into a 5 second space, but most normal people from my era (60's to now) rate him up there with David Gilmour etc. And yes I have seen them both live.
@@professornuke7562 He is underrated. Not for us, fans, though, but younger generations don't know a lot about them. To me Mark is one of top ten guitarists in the world and beyond, but now people think you have to be a shredder to be good, you're completely right about that. He has such a distinctive style of playing, nobody wants or can't copy. I've been fortunate (old) enough to hear some of the greats live, such as Mark, Santana, Clapton, Gilmour, Moore, etc. Of course, also Satriani, Vai, Petrucci and others, but Mark is the most recognizable. And let's not forget his lyrics, too. His solo career is also impressive. Some hard core Dire Straits fans don't like it, to me it just shows his greatness, some say it is not good, since they expect to hear Dire Straits. It is just different and equally recognizable for those who really know him.
@@daveboxg3926 yes indeed , I believe the first time Dylan saw them live he said they were the best band he had seen , pick withers drumming in those early days was immense, still think the drumming on the making movies album are so underrated, the drumming on romeo and julliet is quite stunning
100%. Marks playing is so spontaneous and organic and so much more real than the technically perfect virtuoso rock players which to are just boring and predictable.
that performance is as tight as you will ever see from any band, any time, anywhere. Absolutely incredible - each band member is spot on and the talent is clear for all to see.
Easy to underestimate Knopfler's lyrics because his singing is so understated. This whole concert is full of amazing performances: Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love, Romeo & Juliet, Going Home... all gorgeous and even better than the album versions.
Totally agree....all great songs and also, as Rebeka said...songs that change throughout, not just 'drum machine on....drum machine off'....they are journeys with twists and turns, fast and slow. Do songs like that get made nowadays? Genuine question as I don't know of any.
@@Dragonblaster1 I've been on two concerts on 1983 tour, two days in a row, Zagreb and Ljubljana, then Yugoslavia. Two different venues, one open air, one hall, two different feels, but the same band, also played totally differently. One of the best bands ever! I'm their huge fan since 1980 when I have first heard them and I've been fortunate enough to hear them live for six times. It makes me kinda old...
I’m from Detroit Michigan, born and raised, driven Telegraph Rd. thousands of times..Grew up listening to Dire Straits on MTV, and the radio. First time hearing this song was 1 month ago here on UA-cam… Great song, Epic narrative, incredible finale‼️
Never thought I would see a reaction to this one. I had it on a USB stick and listened to it on a long drive to see my daughter. I had had the song for decades but never listened to it before that trip. She was diagnosed with an ultra rare form of liver cancer in August of 2019 at 23 years of age. 5 hospital stays. 4 major surgeries and one clean up of scar tissue surgery later she is cancer free now for about 2 years. We all think our kids are one in a million. She is one in 5 million. Lot of time to think on this long drives to Wisconsin. And a big thank you to the alert urgent care doctor that caught that unusual lump in her abdomen and sent her straight to the hisoital. She is most likely alive today because he was there and did a careful exam.
Hmmm. Gilmour does not touch me at all. Mark almost never fails to evoke emotions. Once upon a time, decades ago, I may have taken acid, sat back with headphones and enjoyed the sound and fury of Gilmour's rarely melodic playing. But, now, naw.
I'll never forget the first time hearing this song when the album came out. Epic is a word that's used casually but in this instance epic fits. The lyrics, the musicianship, the mood is perfection
So good to see younger generations reacting to this music we enjoyed in our youth.so many amazing bands back then when music was played live no tricks just real talent
I want to congratulate you for being the only girl on UA-cam who has seen and appreciated many videos of the inimitable Dire Straits, even if some videos are not seen it is compensated with your beautiful presence 💐
For me this is the best song of Dire Straits. No other song of them touches me in the same way this one does, although they had a fair share of good songs. The composition, the way he sings it. It is unmatched by any other Dire Straits songs for me.
Your reaction is perfect and genuine; it’s an amazing song and if you asked a group of Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler fans I suspect this would be the most common song cited as his greatest. If you are interested in reacting to more (and why wouldn’t you be?) I’d recommend “Tunnel of Love” from this same concert. Brilliant stuff!
Knopfler is a phenomenal story teller. His understated and not exceptional vocals are the magic as it’s his guitar playing that sings against them so wonderfully. My favourite song, which is from his solo career is “Speedway at Nazareth”. It’s the tail of a Speedway driver in the States and the failures and pains throughout a season, but “at The Speedway at Nazareth I made no mistake” with the instrumental solo being the race. There’s a wonderful moment live where Richard Bennett the second guitar player comes in making his Gibson Les Paul sounding like the revving of an engine. There’s a great version on UA-cam from a tour Knopfler did with Emmylou Harris in 2006.
wish to go back in time and discover again Dire Straits and go to their concerts as I did ahhh...well, that's life, and we oldie need to be happy to had the chance to live that time. cheers to the youngsters nowadays that at least discover what real music is, and what was before all the technology, specially autotune.
Rebeka! Thank you for this!! Dont be afraid to check out a few more live versions of this song that are just as awesome, maybe more so. Have a good night!
Without doubt one of the all time great band classics BUT what a truly epic reaction video. Expression and obvious feeling for the music totally overcomes gratuitous commentary. Absolutely loved your very real feelings for this piece.
Hi Rebeka! Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧😊 Thank you so much for resting and posting this, you have lit up my day! What a joy to see your mind, body and soul react so instinctively to an incredible masterpiece composed and executed by geniuses at the very top of their craft. Such a joy to see your smiles, the moments when your eyes were closed when you were completely lost in the music, transported elsewhere!!! I have watched dozens and dozens and dozens of reactions to this and yours TOPS THEM ALL. Leaving that to one side we are SO BLESSED that even over 40 years ago the band must have had the best filmmakers and sound engineers/mixers on the planet, there was no such thing as HD OR Ultra HD or 4K/8K or whatever and yet it looks and sounds superb. Thanks once again for this!! 😘
I just love seeing someone enjoying one of the best groups ever so much, I really enjoyed your reaction. I have been a fan of Dire Straits since the start.
Mark Knopfler, Lead guitar Hal Lindes, Rhythm guitar John Illsey, Bass guitar Terry Williams, Drums Alan Clark, Keys And guest for these shows keys Tommy Mandel
Love the lyrics. Love the laid back tune this one have. And yes, Mark Knopfler is one of the god´s on guitar This. And Brother´s in arms. (a suiteble song considering what´s going on in Ukrain) Are my favorite songs by them. But they have made so many other great songs. Tunnel of Love, Solid Rock, Portobello Bell, Money for nothing, and Down to the waterline. (Just to mention a few) And the epic Sultans of swing
Greetings from Canada. Saw them live in the 80s (opening act: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble). This was my fave of the night, mind you the crowd went crazy for the drama and lights show of 'Private Investigations'. Great to see another generation warming to Mark 's lyrical guitar finger- picking style. Peace love and bellbottoms.
I was such an obsessive I saw them three times in a week in the 80s I am an old lady now .Saw so many bands live in the 60s,70s, 80s some of the greatest, but seeing Zeppelin in early days and Dire Straits are the ones that brought me to tears Their guitars are now sailing me home to whatever lies beyond,.Dear ,darling Mr Knopfler I can never repay you those moments of gut wrenching emotion and sheer ecstacy that I have felt listening to you create your magic.
Love over Gold is like a snapshot into the early 80's. The whole album is perfect. Their live version is better that most bands studio recordings. That's how good they are.
@@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic Great Reaction and in all the time since I subscribed I have never seen you look so Beautiful as soft colours REALLY suit you and your skin is flawless. You did miss the Piano Chop @12.17 though :)
This concert was absolutely brilliant when it was first released in 1983 on video (also audio CD), and it is every bit as wonderful today. Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits created one of those moments in time where everything came together and magic happened. It's only improved since then.
You posted this months ago so are highly unlikely to see this comment, but I want to say it anyway. I've just spent 12 minutes listening to a Classical Composer listen to this recording and whilst he told me what key changes where going on, and what the lyrics where. I was frustrated... this is music, tell me how you FEEL about the song! It was like listening to a physicist trying to explain love. You said nothing, literally! but I knew exactly how you felt about the song all the way through. Keep doing what your doing. Thankyou
Completely agree! Who cares how clever you are in dissecting the chord changes? Too many of these channels are about the ego of the presenter. Keep up the honest comments.
Above all else, Knopfler and Dire Straits are story tellers. In that respect, they are magnificent. Their Golden Heart album is one of my all time favorites.
Amazing to see music like this still resonating with younger audiences today. Knopfler was labelled long ago as what would have been known in ancient times as a bard - a storyteller who told his stories to music. If you loved the energy on this one the Alchemy Live version of their track ‘Sultans of Swing’ will be perfect for you to cover.
As a guitar player myself, Mark Knopfler is a true strings MAGICIAN. I saw him live back in 2000. He leaves you breathless with his technique. Great choice, Becks. Dire Straits is an AWESOME band. Now you should check out "Sultans of Swing", "Brothers In Arms", "Walk of Life", "Tunnel of Love" and of course, "Money For Nothing".
Loved the performance! Not just the band's but loved your performance also! So good to see today's generation appreciate the great music I grew up with. Warms my heart! I travel for a living and every time I am in Michigan and in particularly Detroit I think of this song and have to start jamming to it. Love the live version. Loved your reaction! Keep up the good work!
The crowd is the 6th musical instrument in this masterpiece. The crowd cheers, catcalls, and whistles. And sings. It's glorious when everyone is singing with Mark at the start. Wonderful reaction. Hammersmith Odeon. London. 22 July 1983.
This is a concert I listen to and watch over and over. When it was re-issued on Blu-Ray, I ordered it and then found a Blu-Ray player. Well worth it! I'm amazed when watching your reactions to this, and to a few other Dire Straits concert performances. It's a bit like looking in a mirror - your responses to different parts of the songs are identical to my own. If it wasn't for time, distance and age, I'd swear we're related, lol. All joking aside thank you once again for presenting another superb Dire Straits performance and your reaction to it. It's another of the true masterpieces of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.
Another one that is musically masterful and in the same vein as Telegraph Road is Private Investigations. Beautiful instrumentation. These are my 2 favourite song of theirs along with with Sultans of swing and Brothers In Arms. I could go on but I can't split which one is best. They are all fantastic.
Besides the fact you're amazingly beautiful Rebeka, the thing that really draws me to your reviews is the choices you pick, to react to. It's just uncanny how great your choices are. I've noticed you often pick songs that are not always the big hits, yet still great on their own. The GREAT B-Sides, ya know? I think you must be all heart and soul. Thanks Rebeka.
This is an amazing performance, Mark Knopfler was untouchable during this time, the whole concert is amazing, please react to Tunnel of Love from the Alchemy concert next.
Good to see you live the song to the full. If you like sensational drumming and crazy solos, I’d definitely advise you to listen to Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live next.
Alan Clark beside Mark makes great job with his piano performance. His style of playing is absolutely beautiful and in this masterpiece the dialogue between guitar and piano makes the song perfect. Hardly any music has ever touched me so deep inside as the music of DS. It’s great to see that it still does and finds new souls and in this case soul sister after forty years of its release. Thanks for sharing this. Btw my personal favourites are Romeo & Juliet Live On the Night (maybe because it was my first stadium concert ever Helsinki 1992 and then Alchemy version on Sultans of Swing.

So true
100%. Marks playing is so spontaneous and organic and so much more real than the technically perfect virtuoso rock players which to are just boring and predictable.
Terry Williams was a BEAST behind the drums! One of the best drummers from the 80's.👍👍❤️
Not even the best drummer in DS...
One of, if not the, best drummer ever. Welsh wizard.
that performance is as tight as you will ever see from any band, any time, anywhere. Absolutely incredible - each band member is spot on and the talent is clear for all to see.
The brilliant Mark Knopfler, my favourite musician of all.
How could he not be ?
Genius
not quiet my favorite all time, but in top 3 yes...Hendrix, Guilmour and Mark...different styles but all equally brilliant
Easy to underestimate Knopfler's lyrics because his singing is so understated. This whole concert is full of amazing performances: Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love, Romeo & Juliet, Going Home... all gorgeous and even better than the album versions.

Fantastic live as you can see.
Seen them 8 times over the years and Knopfler is a guitar God in my eyes.
From the golden age of music, the likes will never be heard again, no new so called artists have anything like this kind of musicality.
Correct
Wrong. You just need to know where to look to find it.
@@Mind-your-own-beeswax it's obviously well hidden.
When they play, God looks down and says "Yeah, I did that!"
An absolute masterclass in musicianship by every band member. Great reaction. Thank you. Best wishes from the UK

Dire Straits is my favorite all time band. I was fortunate enough to see them live twice. I'm so happy to see your joy 🙂

The only band that make me cry.
Perfection
Not on your own there buddy, i'm 55 and Mark Knopfler is just a GENIUS
I join the team..i m stuck on Dire Straits and on this masterpiece symphony
That whole concert is unmissable really.
So glad you appreciated this.

The beauty in this song is the tempo changes. It makes it sound slightly progressive. Such a great track.
One of my favorite things about this concert is how much fun John and Hal are having together and how much Mark is enjoying watching that.
The skill to be able to deliver this track live is nothing short of awesome, gorgeous ❤
Wow ! Two beautiful in the same video: Rebeka and Telegraph Road. Ciao Bellissima from Italy

I love Alan’s anticipation on the piano during the quiet bit - adds so much dramatic effect.
Music does not produce a band like this anymore
So right. Music and musicians today are manufactured by media moguls out for themselves!
Love the lyrics. Love the laid back tune this one have. And yes, Mark Knopfler is one of the god´s on guitar

The 80s was my time , we were spoilt with so much talent back then , in my late 50s now , but damn , I'm so glad I rode that 80s wave !!!!

Mark Knofler one of the best "minimalist" guitarists....DS so subtle in building a song
Alchemy one of the best live albums of all time !!
"Sultans of Swing" from this "alchemy" album is truly unbelievable, far better than the original, and one of the best live performances in rock!
You're absolutely right.
This concert was absolutely brilliant when it was first released in 1983 on video (also audio CD), and it is every bit as wonderful today. Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits created one of those moments in time where everything came together and magic happened. It's only improved since then.
Dare I say the live performances of Dire Straits has something which makes them better than the recordings on CD.
A song about how a town, or a love, starts, builds, and then slowly, too often kills itself off.
Simply the best, we grew up with such wonderful music.
They tell a story in words and music. This song really brings to mind some of Springsteen's music.

an all time classic
Above all else, Knopfler and Dire Straits are story tellers. In that respect, they are magnificent. Their Golden Heart album is one of my all time favorites.
Absolutely watch their 1992 concert "Live in Basel". The performance is stratospheric and Mark Knopfler is a legend.

Well done for not stopping the track. I understand reaction videos. But some tracks just shouldn't be interupted.
Dire straits was the figurehead at the introduction of the compact disk in the eighties
As a guitar player myself, Mark Knopfler is a true strings MAGICIAN.
I saw him live back in 2000. He leaves you breathless with his technique.
Great choice, Becks. Dire Straits is an AWESOME band.
Now you should check out "Sultans of Swing", "Brothers In Arms", "Walk of Life", "Tunnel of Love" and of course, "Money For Nothing".

The crowd is the 6th musical instrument in this masterpiece. The crowd cheers, catcalls, and whistles. And sings. It's glorious when everyone is singing with Mark at the start. Wonderful reaction.
Hammersmith Odeon. London. 22 July 1983.
A masterpiece, even Pablo Picasso would be moved by it.
There's never a drum kit around when you really need one.
This is a concert I listen to and watch over and over. When it was re-issued on Blu-Ray, I ordered it and then found a Blu-Ray player. Well worth it! I'm amazed when watching your reactions to this, and to a few other Dire Straits concert performances. It's a bit like looking in a mirror - your responses to different parts of the songs are identical to my own. If it wasn't for time, distance and age, I'd swear we're related, lol. All joking aside thank you once again for presenting another superb Dire Straits performance and your reaction to it. It's another of the true masterpieces of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.
A fifteen-minute lecture on urban development, sprawl, and decay, wrapped up in some of the best instrumental music out there.
Thank you, great, they broke the mould with this band, greetings from Scotland ✌️🌹🦌shine on.
Great song one of my favorite cd's is Alchemy
great band.. I spent a lot of my youth in the 70's with my headphones up very loud listening anything and everything Mark put out... special artist
Gee, I didn't know Scarlett Johansson would get into Dire Straits! This is the band's best performance ever; and one of the best of ANY band ever.
This and Romeo and Juliet are my faves.
Where can I get one of those Adidas tops with the letters written in reverse. . that's very cool.
love your reaction to one of my favourite bands but so jealous of you seeing it for the first time - rips the emotions out of me every time!!
Another one that is musically masterful and in the same vein as Telegraph Road is Private Investigations. Beautiful instrumentation. These are my 2 favourite song of theirs along with with Sultans of swing and Brothers In Arms. I could go on but I can't split which one is best. They are all fantastic.
Thank you so much for you’re suggestions! Appreciate it!🙏🏼☺️
Besides the fact you're amazingly beautiful Rebeka, the thing that really draws me to your reviews is the choices you pick, to react to. It's just uncanny how great your choices are. I've noticed you often pick songs that are not always the big hits, yet still great on their own. The GREAT B-Sides, ya know? I think you must be all heart and soul. Thanks Rebeka.
Greatest live concert of all time no question and I'm not a massive dire straits fan generally but this concert is out of this world.
This is an amazing performance, Mark Knopfler was untouchable during this time, the whole concert is amazing, please react to Tunnel of Love from the Alchemy concert next.
beautiful!!! Pretty damn good song too
Good to see you live the song to the full.
If you like sensational drumming and crazy solos, I’d definitely advise you to listen to Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live next.
Awesome reaction Rebeka!!
My favourite song i ever heard. I love Dire Straits, my favourite group. Mark Knopfler is the best|
Love this song, you can visualize it perfectly
Your reactions are always just as , if not more ,entertaining as the songs/videos
Thank you.😊🙏🏼
Agreed
You are brilliant 👏 young lady.
Alan Clark beside Mark makes great job with his piano performance. His style of playing is absolutely beautiful and in this masterpiece the dialogue between guitar and piano makes the song perfect. Hardly any music has ever touched me so deep inside as the music of DS. It’s great to see that it still does and finds new souls and in this case soul sister after forty years of its release. Thanks for sharing this. Btw my personal favourites are Romeo & Juliet Live On the Night (maybe because it was my first stadium concert ever Helsinki 1992 and then Alchemy version on Sultans of Swing.
Fun fact: this song has 22 Chords in it alone ... more than entire modern albums.
This entire album is a masterpiece.
Also check out 'Speedway at Nazareth'. Always sounded like a spiritual successor to Telegraph Road in my mind.
