"She smells just like a rose, and she tastes just like a peach. She got me walkin' where the wild life goes. I'd do anything to reach her." This is one of my old favorites-one of many from the great Mark Knopfler.
“I was made to go with this girl just like a saxophone was made to go with the night” This is just so absolutely perfect They are unbelievably amazing I am always in awe… How did they create so many masterpieces?? How does someone elaborate all of this in their mind?? All the instruments, all the tracks, all the details, all the room for improvisation, all the harmonies, all the different solos, all the nuances, all the rythms, all the energy, all the incredible lyrics… Such genius minds and souls. Unmatched.
Many many groups back in the day were like that. They didn’t need a bunch of effects or gimmicks. Just stand there and jam. One reason , I wasn’t a big fan of Kiss. It was mainly come here and watch our lights, makeup, fire techno and gimmicks.
Not many afternoons I don't come home from work and play a bit of knopfler magic to unwind. 41 now , been listening since primary school so fair to say it'll be with me to the end . Regards from North Queensland
This is still a brilliant listen. Private Investigations is sublime. Hal was a great asset to the band during this. I remember buying the album. I'm feeling old.
One of the lesser known but imho one of the best Straits songs. The raw positive energy and upliftment this songs gives u, especially on this Alchemy version is incredible. Top class musicianship all around, love that distortion rhythm guitar driving the song with Alan Clark on keys and the usual MK virtuoso playing.
holy shit. this song reminds me of my first girlfriend. I was 15 and it was 15 years ago. Some songs in life always come back. Some people left forever
Its fair enough when you think that the song wouldn't have the tone that it does with out it, also it's nice for him to branch out to traditional playing. Not saying he aint the best fingerpicker in the universe though!
Never really noticed the ‘Hey Maestro’ and ‘Expresso’ backing vocals from John Illsley and Hal Lindes before. Superb track and better live than on Making Movies.
Been listening since 84 I'm 52 now an still my fav.even my nieces who were into pop music love it .they were like wow a live band😂can't beat them.hats off to the Straits 🏴
Ouvindo essa música me bate uma forte tristeza... Tomo consciência de que estou envelhecendo e perdendo meus referenciais da música! Bandas maravilhosas que de uma forma ou outra também estão partindo e deixando esse planeta mais triste e órfão.
Congratulations Mark --- your Dire Straits have now a place in the fuckin Rock n Roll Hall of Fame , but you wasnt there ... Islley said '' sorry, was a personal question '' ... and i laught like never i do why u dont need the vanity of fame, the vanity of applaus and all this stuff . you are great. you are unique ... u are all somebody would be ... congratulations man thats all .
It's very impressive how Mark Knopfler can play so good while singing
Everything Mark does is fucking amazing !
He is just a genius. That’s called GIFT
Glad somone appreciates it!
No kidding. Truly amazing talent. He makes some shit on the guitar that IS NOT easy look so easy and smooth.
Genialità e classe eccelse...
Every woman would need Mark Knopfler to write a love song for her.
I do, at least ❤
Probably the best band ever, or at least for me
For me toooooooo!

That's just a horrible statement
They're good but not in the same ball park with plenty of bands
Agreed!!😊

Am I on my own when I say they don't make music like this any more?,today's kids really are missing out.
Agreed!
they do, it's just not what's famous
Let's be honest, okay? You don't care about what today's kids are missing, you just think you're better.
Your most certainly NOT on your own...:(
kids who care aren’t missing anything
Was lucky to see them ....LIVE IN 85 TOUR.
Treat yourself to a good listen to ALCHEMY.

Great comment 😊
“She smells just like a rose, and she tastes just like a peach”
Alchemy on vinyl is a gift from the gods. Musical nirvana
Terry Williams is a Giant Drummer
He is indeed. Doesn't miss a beat on this or any of the others I've heard.
בהתאם למארק😘
Undoubtedly, the best live album in the history of music.
Every time I listen to it is like the very first time... it sends shivers down my spine...
+Martín Serrano Huguet oh yes one of the best!!
very true ! greetings from croatia
On the night is better in my opinion
@@xvxyph4nt0m57 with Bertignac live 98 :)

Dire Straits is so epic, they don't need lighting. They just glow by themselves.
Awesome

Mark Knopfler is a living legend. 💖 💖 💖
This is one of the best things I’ve ever watched or heard
2:18 one of the coolest solos ive ever heard in my life, listened to it about 10000000 times, and that CYMBAL at the end to close the song, magic!
And it's with a pic!

All I feel is love when I listen to this band
Timeless.

Man - Holiday! Man - Miracle! - Mark KNOPFLER! You are Beautiful Forever!!! 🙏🙏🙏👌🌟✊✌️❤️🌹💋
Yes, Dire Straits glow by themselves. They are so AWESOME and wonderful when they play there instruments. They are so talented and always will be.
He was made in heaven.
The quality, passion, professionalism and artistic creativity of English musicians!
The result: a live concert doesn't get much better than this :-)
Mark Knopfler playing with a pick?! THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!

That piano...❤

This song is the one which helps me find back my joy when I am down. It’s so joyful and makes me dance. So beautiful, thank you ❤
My favourite Dire Straits song. Besides all the others, of course.
Absolutely insane live version wow. Goated as the youngins would say
now THIS is what i call music.
By far the best version of this song. The solo is something else
His music is like water in a fast moving river, it wount stop for anything Mark is GOD
one of the most beautiful LIVE ever
in expresso love with this song
"I was made to go with my girl,like a saxophone was made to go with the night"
Best guitarist probably world ever seen.
Mohibur Rahman Yes indeed
Without ANY doubt!
Jaja he is one of the greatest but maybe is few names on his level or a little bit better, for the exception of Hendrix of course that he play alone.
Best is a hard word to use but certainly my favorite
Had never heard of Dire Straights, so I checked out a couple of their songs on UA-cam, I’ve gotta say they’re pretty dang good
Never heard of Dire STRAITS...are you 13?

It's been 15 years since I first heard this masterpiece. I still can't get over how this song makes me feel. I'll check in another 15 years.
'Making Movies' is my favorite album of all time. I've wore out 2 vinyl versions and one CD.
Ofattbart musiken som aldrig tappar i styrkan oavsett hur länge man lyssnar på även upprepade gånger MAGISKT potential av bibliska proportioner ❤
THE most nostalgically romantic song I've ever heard - I hum it to myself sometimes when I think of my past...
One of his best songs, I like !
*Great and incredible performance...Congratulations from Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷 🇧🇷*
Ma..quale..performance...io...le..so...suonare...tutte..alla...perfezione...Gio. ..sss...ciao....
Legendary guitar solo
Absolute fantastic performance.
I get goosebumps from 2.18 time... wow thats guitar skills
Mark Knopfler meu mestre na guitarra.Não há outro do calibre do Mark Knopfler... Gêniooooo
Wrong there are few of them Eric Clapton is one of them etc.etc.etc
Não há outro, nunca vai existir...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The piano part is awesome!!!
Ohh yes! I love it too !
Same
The piano really makes the song.
Knocks me the fuck out!
Roy Bittan is very talented
The Beatles, ELO, Dire Straits, The Travelling Wilburys and Elvis, the rest are just playing at it.
Mark is Left-Handed.....let that sink in.....
Such Heavenly stuff!
This song just drills itself into my head! Wow!!
One of the best live albums ( Alchemy )
D'accordissimo 💯👍 Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹👍💯❤️💯💯❤️
Best song ever. That drummer is so good. Happy i grew up in these times. Mark Knoppler best guitarist. Brings back many memories.
Best live album ever
This song is so so underrated
I love 💓
2:18 best bit
0:00 to 5:16 best bit
Awesome drummer
Terry -The Beast- Williams! 😎👍
Ouvindo essa música me bate uma forte tristeza...

Super great song by Dire Straits , super Dynamic music performance
on this !
Mark is genius!
Mark knopfler is the best guitarist of univers
Excellent musical artist ever
REAL INSTRUMENTS = REAL MUSIC
Best live album of all time and it doesn't hurt that Hal Lindes is such incredible eye candy!! 😅
Que cancion.
Gran banda. Qué recuerdos....
Saw them at a club in Philly in 1979. Scary area but worth it😅
Still one of the best songs of the band
Incredible how this live version is 1000 times better than the dull album version. That piano!!
Quel feeling ce Mark, et sans médiator, avec les doigts uniquement, qui fait ça à part lui ?
❤מרק הוא אלוף הגיטרה✨️ אין מישו שיכול לדמות לו אפילו לא אלו שמרק לקח מהם השראה ✨️מרק מלך הגיטרה ✨️🎸🥂✨️
Excelente banda ótima música perfeita saudades desse tempo que não volta mais

Dire Straits band of heaven
When i first heard the album version, i was not convinced. This, however, is so much better.
+demrandom Fact is, Mr. Knopfler and Dire Straits ALWAYS play better live...and that's so rare :D
+Arthur Bondarelli Red Hot Chili Peppers when John Frusciante was the guitar player, they sounded way better live as well.
Very amazing Drummer!
02/10/2018 Brazil 5:00 pm. Here I am again listening to this masterpiece.
18/04/2019 🇧🇷 11:55 pm. Primeira vez nessa música, milésima vez ouvindo Dire Straits!
