Thank you so much for this concert. Brings me right back to my youth when we had the best music. Dire Straits really are timeless. Only in older age did I recognise that as well as being a brilliant musician Mark Knopfler is a poet. His lyrics are deceptively simple.
I always absolutely love how they were able to let the melody unfold over a rather long period of time, in no rush to "complete" the song in standard format of like 4 or 5 min with repetitive loops. This is really the sign of artistic maturity imo
So surreal to be watching videos of an album (double LP record) I had & played so many times in the mid 80's but hadn't seen before until recently on UA-cam.😃
Wowwww!!! Fantastic, mythical, unattainable Dire Straits... I love all their songs, their music is history. Dire Straits the biggest band in the world. ❤️🎸🔥🔥🔥
This masterpiece has got a metapoetic level. That means it is a song about writing a song. ✍️Did you know this? 🎶🎸 To me, it shows Marks remarkable genius as a songwriter, and guitarist aswell. (Source: Christie's catalogue, essay about lot nr 5, the Gibson Chet Atkins nylon stringed, Mark is playing here.)
This showcases especially the enormous talent of the wonderful Nils Lofgren as 2nd guitar player. There's no way that David, Mark's own brother, could have played this diadic and power chord based part as well as Maestro Lofgren, and the band certainly looks pleased to me. Sounds amazing, a real representation of the original song. Wow. Impressive. 🎶🎶🌟👍
It's not Nils Lofgren! It's Hal Lindes!!! Nils did guest a few times with the band live but has never been part of Dire Straits & Hal looks nothing like Nils!!!!
Tenía 14 15 años cuando escuché está canción y compré el disco de diré Straits! Desde ahí supe que quise tocar la guitarra 🎸 gracias a canciones y melodías como las que creo mark! Una leyenda en vida gran músico enorme banda !! 🇦🇷🔊🎶🎶🎸
@Direstraits_ estou bem, mas queria saber de você e do seu canal. Como é seu nome e de onde fala? Deve ser um fan como nós. Parabéns pelo canal, você tem muitos seguidores, claro, saudosos do Dire Straits!
the 80s were a magical time, and I have to go for a walk after I am reminded of those heady years. There are far too many memories that drag me back to better days. I saw Dire Straits live at the UK Birmingham Exhibition Centre, in the ealry days of their "Brothers in Arms" world tour, in June 1985. They had already played behind the Iron Curtain (Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslvakia) and across Western Europe (France, Belgium) before playing 19 gigs in the UK. The tour covered 248 gigs in exactly 12 months. Almost a year later I saw them in Sydney, where I had moved to, at the Entertainment Centre, in March 1986. Same tour, a year later, on the other side of the world. Both concerts were fantastic. The band had a unique style, driven by Mark Knopflers voice. He had a rather limited range compared to someone like Robert Plant. Sting even sang with the band on a few gigs to add vocal dexterity. Because of this Dire Straits relied upon the use of high note guitar licks to add variety. If you listen you can hear what would be counter vocals sang by a woman in a duet. In effect Knopfler is singing to his guitar, and the guitar is singing back with the high notes. You could even do a cover with a female singer adding in extra vocals. Listen to it again, and try singing odd lines in place of the licks.
Mitico album de los geniales Dire Straits para mi la mejor banda de todos los tiempos.Conciertos para no olvidar en la vida su ultimo concierto como banda lo dieron en mi ciudad zaragoza expectacular y luego como solista tambien en el principe felipe de dicha ciudad un lujo y un sueño echo realidad 🇪🇦
I like this live version better, even with a couple mistakes Mark did in the solo. While "On the Night" is more elaborated and executed flawlessly (showing Knoppler's growing as guitarist), here Mark seems to be enjoying more playing this song, with all the little nods he do to the other instruments throughout the song.
Hello how are you?. GOD BLESS YOU, KEEP YOU AND PROTECT YOU ALWAYS. CHRIST AND HIS HOLY AND DIVINE SPIRIT AND OUR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND I ALSO IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS. ✝️🕊️❤️🙏🏼
buenos recuerdos ,cuando mi cuñao me deja una cinta de dire straits ,y mientras sucedia mi primer enamoramiento y mi primer desengaño ...jejejeej que bonita es
@Direstraits_ Hello I'm fine thx. Hope you are fine too. Your concert in Rome at PALAEUR on September 16th '92 was the best concert I have ever seen!!! EPIC🙌🙌🙌💎❤️❤️❤️ I'm honored by your reply 💖 Have a nice Sathurday 😃
@Direstraits_ we were five thousand delirious fans who sang and danced for more than two hours: so powerfully💥💥💥 magical✨️✨️✨️ unforgettable 🔐💘💘💘 I saw almost all the greatest artists & bands like Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Prince, U2 and many others but that concert remains UNIQUE 💎💎💎

Wonderfull
Absolutely the best ❤🙌🎶

One of the songs that make me love dire straits at the age of 10. I'm now nearly 50!
So surreal to be watching videos of an album (double LP record) I had & played so many times in the mid 80's but hadn't seen before until recently on UA-cam.😃
I've had the video since being about 8. Still watching now after 40 years.
Never get tired of listening to it .
Loved this song since I was a kid in the late 80's. Glad to see it on the channel!
The best of world it is Mark knopfler.
Unforgettable concert. Knopfler excels either as guitar player and song writer with total mastery.
Dire Straits ❤
This brings me back to my teen years, the times I have played this song (loudly ) before going to sleep. Mesmerizing. ❤
J'adore , merci pour le partage .
This song reminds of mixture of feelings and memories that I don't know
Exactly that!
Wowwww!!! Fantastic, mythical, unattainable Dire Straits... I love all their songs, their music is history. Dire Straits the biggest band in the world. ❤️🎸🔥🔥🔥
Best live version ever was played by BBC rock around the clock in 1986 . Stayed up all night recording it on vcr lol
One of the best songs played live -even better. Thanks for sharing. This is my kind of music.
This kind of music isn’t made anymore, it’s a damn shame.
Because like Frank Zappa said music is made even from his time by the lousy taste of the music industries accountants and executives.
Unbelievably emotional - mesmerizing performance...
This is why MK is the best guitar player ever. Playing in the 80's with a Spanish / Flamenco guitar. Fookin genius.
Heard the alchemy album as an 20 yr old
Now 50 and still listen to it
Listen to it daily
Best of all time
Absolute class album still outshines 99% of the rubbish out these days.
There is one time in the world like this moments great Mark
Let only music rule the world fans & let it sound just this good ❤🎉❤
Love this song!!! Great Mark Knopfler...GENIUS!!!!!!❤🎸❤🎸❤
Its a masterpiece
What a concert ❤

Just awesome. Where have those great days gone. 😢
WORDS BLUSH FOR BEING UNABLE TO CLASS MY BRIL IDOL....DAZZLING BEEEEEAUTIFUL PRICELESS SONG... YOU ARE GREAT MY MARKITO!!❤❤❤
When i was in my early 20's, i would darken the living room and sit there listening to this in surround sound at full blast. Bliss, even to this day.
תודה על יצירת מופת🙏 ממש קסם🎉 אוהבת💞 🇬🇧🇮🇱
Such a great song, or should I say composition? So lucky to witness this back in the 80s. 🙂
J adooooore cette chanson vraiment beaucoup ❤❤❤
Gosh 🎉 what à voice a guitar and a Mark 🎉❤

This is hal lindes , he was superb on this album ..... fantastic on tunnel of love and others
@@tonykelly717 My mistake. You're absolutely right in all points. Hal was such a credit to Dire Straits. 🎶👍

Still good,and relevant
I was just saying, we don't get many bands today like Dire Straits or The Police, they had something
What about the talent that is McBusted?
@@pjl7592 yeah, good choice... I like bands that make history!!!
Que maravilla de canción. Este video es una joya.
Спасибо Марк! Спасибо Дайер Стрейтс!
Tremendos. Me encantan!!! 😊
Semplicemente stupenda, grazie Mark.
Any way you slice it, this song is a symphony. My God it's beautiful.
Ahhooo belli de mamma inchinatevi davanti a sto mostro sacro....👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Extraordinario concierto.😊😊😊
Phenomenal.
They were terrific, Knopfler a genius
P.s. can't accept that this took place 40 yrs ago and will never happen again 😢
Pure class Mark
Historique ! Phénoménal !
We had good time
In memory of my mom..thank you so much..
What great music and band
1st heard santana at woodstock- loved ever since

Wow, this video is incredibly shot! Who was behind recording/directing?
I wish I could time travel to see Mark and Dire Straits live..

This is so surreal ❤
The best Musik ever
Wow nice song
Epic!
Very clever, great music Mark.
Bas su bili extra bend......slusacu ih dok sam ziv❤
Wow! I really wish that I'd seen Dire Straits live, although I have seen Mark Knopfler play.
Wow i rember this was so different 25 years ago Haha mandella playing with me again !! so cool we are so much older than them 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't hear any mistakes?? (he was improvising to spice it up btw)
@@kiwitihi4606 He does at 3:31 and 3:42. Is very subtle.
Is this the actual Alchemy version?
@@davebellamy4867 I think so.
Imagino que si la tocabas vos no hubiesen existido los errores. Jajajajaja...
❤❤❤❤❤PIĘKNY utwór 💋🎶🎶🎸🙌
This is MY investigation. It’s not a public inquiry. 🎉
Blinds on the windows. And a pain behind thee eyes
Proper Iconic lyrics aren't they Chaps?
Mark wrote a film and the soundtrack plus played a guitar like that all in one go. Genius.
Treachery and treason, there's always an excuse for it!
mis corazonessss❣️❣️❣️❣️🎸✨
Just another angel in the crowd
Progresive Rock , salute Dire Strait... 🎸
Músicos fantásticos reales de calidad❤
J adore ❤❤❤😂
