- Best version ever performed!
Ted Christopher - vocals
Mark Knopfler - guitar
This version was recorded in memory of the Dunblane Massacre 13 March 1996, were 16 children and one adult got killed.
A new verse was written, and the children choir who sing the chorus are brothers and sisters of the victims.
The song was released 9 December 1996, and it reached number 1. The proceeds went to charities for children.
Enjoy!
New verse;
Lord these guns have caused too much pain
This town will never be the same
So for the bairns of Dunblane
We ask please never again
Mark is 72 years old now and has retired now from doing concert's but he is still producing his music and songs.God Bless him such a lovely man.
wait what? He will never go on tour again?
@@babbonatale276 I don't think so his fisical condition dont let him play has good as he wants to but he will still tour in our heart its one of the only things that makes me sad is the fact that i never got to see him live
@@leonardodelgado173 I saw him live some years ago. Best show ever, still rocking every songs. Telegraph road was a blast. I hope he's ok
He’s performing in 2023
@@MrFBear74where did you hear that?
Knopfler is anything but underrated. He's been playing for stadiums full of people for decades. His whole band is amazingly versatile.
I think even if he was regarded as the best musician of all time I would still say he was underrated 👍
Musical genius. Loved his stuff since day one.
He is fully appreciated by those who realize what good playing is.
I get tired of hearing people say he is under rated or she is under rated or this band or that band is under rated, if their favorite artist or band truly are under rated there is a reason for that but those with real talent can not be appreciated by the public yet they are held in high esteem by their peers. Mark Knopfler is anything but under rated.
@@1979bobhd He is just not rated high enough, what ever scale you are using, it is just not high enough for Mark Knopfler.
Chet Atkins called him his favorite person to play with. You know, Mister Guitar.
Chet is probably a better judge than any of us!
Of course
I believe he is Marks dad
When you hear Mark Knopfler play you are hearing his soul!...
Jerry, Very well said.
I hear my own soul in there too
Aye Aye man
True
Well said.
Mark Knopfler is the most underrated and under appreciated man in music, I think he's genius
he is a genius and most everyone knows by now
Absolute genius
I don't think really so, he had and has so many appreciations! But to some point ure right, cause he deserved more appreciation......Cause he must be in same league with Jimi Hendrix!!
@@petergunner8666 True!
and he is one of the best guitar-players, also very underrated
Mark is not the fastest player in the world, or the loudest, he is simply the best. No-one can match him for putting emotions into his playing.
Well said.
John Benton finger pickin he ´play
He is the only player I've ever encountered who can put emotion into an electric guitar.
John Benton Gotta disagree big time. Rory Gallagher does exactly that, which is why he's my favorite rock-blues guitarist. Love Knopfler though. too.
I guess guitar players, like music in general, is a very personal thing. There's nothing wrong with Rory, I just prefer Mark (It might be the songs. I don't know.). But that's just me.
This is the best version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Mark Knopler is a virtuoso with the guitar. He doesn't bang it like so many guitarists. In his hands, it's like a "voice."
George Grubbs neither does Clapton. Rated best living guitarist by rolling stone.
RS magazine is one of most shittiest & bullshits magazine that human kind has ever created.... Comparing Clapton with the extraterrestrial Mark Knopfler, is like saying that Justin shitty Biaber, is better vocally than Elvis Presley .... MK is so bloody obviously some thousands light years ahead any biological creature that has walked, walks and shall walk for the next 1999 years, as far as all the musical components are concerned; lyrics of masterpiece level, an anthology of English language itself, only the Telegraph Road, is more than enough to verify this, the virtuosity in music writing and guitar playing are simply unrivaled by no human, and the band's career... it looks so ridiculous to compare The Cream (EC band) with Dire Straits and their impact's size in the infinite Empire of the art form called music. Full stop.
Eh prefer Dylan's acoustic version is more haunting
Lol at comparing guitarists lt doesn't matter your opinion is just an opinion.
Mark is just another guitarist and I could careless about virtuosity douchebags who idolize guitarists use that word to show their fanboy
Music is personal opinion no need to type some long winded fanboy worship of some dude who is just another guitarist.
Electric guitar doesnt do this track justice, and his writing isnt all that spectacular I've heard better.
why always comparing......as a middle age guy I prefer Axl Roses version but all versions are great in their own way Eric Clapton of course too
Fore me is the Best version the Origenal from BOB DYLAN ua-cam.com/video/rnKbImRPhTE/v-deo.html
Mark Knopfler is one of a kind.
He has never disappointed.
The children singing in the background were the surviving class friends of the children and teacher who were murdered at Dunblane School. Breaks my heart every time I hear this song. Beautiful version.
Wonderful
Roger Stokes didn’t expect to find you here Roger
Robin Old Git - Robin? Mr E?

😥
Knoflers playing brings a new emotion to Dylans voice,
Are you sure that's Dylan singing?
I am pretty sure that's NOT Bob
The name of the singer is
Ted Christopher
I guess we both should have read
the description in the first place😊
Mark Knopfler, truly one of the greats.
That ended way too soon. I could listen to Knopfler go on indefinitely. Every note is gold from this guy. Really special player.
I totally agree that Mark Knopfler is underrated by many. He deserves so much more for the sheer amount he puts in. A true Guitar master.
Except for his music, he prefers to keep a low profile
100% true!!!
played this at my Dad's funeral. The original version. I guess the Door finally opened!miss you pop!! Dust
Awww!

🙏May your father rest in peace.
We all will see us again on the gates of heaven♾
All the best mate , I miss my dad so much too.
Great! He may rest in Peace and Freedom.
The most talented guitarist of all era's ,none could even come close to this genius on lead ,He's magical ,what true brilliance
I agree wholeheartedly!
Love his style of playing, pure feeling like David Gilmore. This is a beautiful version, almost a hymn ❤️👍
I was going to say the same, like Gilmour. His few tasty notes, each one penetrating to my bones.
Believe it or not , David Gilmore Borrowed from The Late Garry Moore
About a month ago my wife,was knocking on heavens door,when her sugar was low,glad she made it,glad for the emergincey guys shes ok
We are all just a knock from heavens door. We just don't know when. Live life prepared to die.
Mark Knofler makes the guitar sing! Legend!
I saw them both in a concert in Berlin. Knopfler was awesome. Dylan was awesome. Together they were like out of our planet. Fact.
This song is already one of the greatest and Mark made this so much better. He is a true legend
husband passed two years ago, still grieving, now I know more than ever I am knocking on heaven door....hope they let me in....angels above
Oh may the Lord offer you Grace and Salvation and you refind your husband already waiting for you behind those Pearly Gates ! Amen
So sorry for your loss.
Prayers of strength sent your way
Mark knopfler makes every song special, he puts soul into music.
I love Mark's sound and the way he plays it. Just so dynamically.
This is really the best version of Bob Dylans " Knocking on heavens door". Great ...MARK KNOPFLER....l love this song.💖
Hi,how are you doing?
I AGREE!
With Mark,any song will be magic.....
Don‘ t think he‘s underrated - he is what he is:a wonderfull Songwriter, an a stunning guitarplayer🎸
I think you might be wrong because this guy is like I found a great discovery
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door
Knopfler adds an unearthly dimension to the song. Incredable!

One of the great classics, played with immense feeling. Beautiful. This was played at my younger brother's funeral by one of his close friends, so has much sentimental meaning to me too. "The Lord is my shepherd that I shall not want..." - Peace to all UA-camrs and your loved ones.
stay brave
@@stuarth43 Why thank you Stuart - appreciate your kind thought. Wish you and your loved ones everything that is good :-)
Your brother was an amazing person and had wonderful friends.
@@RS-nm2ic Thanks for your kind thoughts. Living by the philosophy of “better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” Appreciate all one has. Wishing you and your loved ones peace and strength ☮️
Amen.
I remember my uncle sending me the first Dire S. album the moment it came out, before anyone I knew had heard of them (back in the days of cassettes).
He told me that MK had been in Bob's backing band and now he'd started his own show. Therefore, my uncle wrote, one to watch. Well, he picked that one right.
Beautiful
In the name of the Lord , this is food for my soul, this is MUSIC.
The passion of his guitar playing can not be matched by anyone!
This is sheer pain and love....so glad I happened on this version.with years in my eyes,I endorse the comments regarding mark knopfker's guitar,but I am humbled to have grown in the same generation as Robert zimmerman.there are not words to describe him,just love in my heart.
Just wonderful- Mark Knopfler is simply the greatest guitarist of all time.
guitar,sound, voice,atmosphere.old times are not forgotten.
Hi,how are you doing?
Summer of 1976, Binghamton NY, the opening act for Bob Dylan and the backup band were some guys called the Knopfler Brothers. The Brothers opened for about 45 minutes. Then Dylan came out and joined them for about an hour. Dylan never plays very long. After Dylan did his encore "Hurricane Carter." The Knopfler brothers came back out and said we would like to play a little longer. They played till f'ing 2:00 am the next day and closed with "Knocking on Heavens Door." The second time that night and the better version. The first of few times I got to see what became Dire Straits. Man that song will be stuck in my head. Go watch the Grateful Dead's version. They too were a Dylan back up band about that time.
This has me in tears every time I hear it, still thinking of the school kids killed in Dunblane, may they rest in peace
Bob's been my favorite since my youth.I am 65 now and still feel the same.God bless him,and May stay for ever active.
The unmistakable, immaculate guitar work of MK turns this song into an epic classic! 🎸❤️
Mark , a musical Angel gifted to
us,, his fans who are his very large
Family,are eternally grateful and
blessed to have this genius and
his talent here for us all to watch and listen in awe….
Great guitarrists make great versions of classic songs. Knopfler plays with sensibility and emotion. Every song. Always. Congratulations!!!!!!
Two brilliant musicians together for this iconic song ,I’ve heard many versions of this song but this has got to be one of the best ever ,.
Mark Knopfler is a guitar genius !
Put these guns aground. More than ever !
Anything children should hear in this world is music that arises from the musical hearts and souls like Mark Knopfler's guitar 🎸 ♥️
The occasion was so utterly and deeply sad. The music so emotional en touching the soul. Always found this one of the best songs ever, but this rendition surpasses everything.
The ONE and the ONLY Mark Knopfler.
Absolutely beautiful song by Dylan and Mark knopheler on the guitar
I love Mark...he has the sweetest sound...brings tears to my eyes...I've seen him live.
Along with Santana, he's one of my favorites...
What a great version by two of my all time favorite artists.
This version melt my heart, and lets my thoughts flood free to all off my love ones that already pasted tough a door to there Heaven. Bless there souls.

Two wounderful voices in perfect harmony.
Beautiful song with two great world-class musical artists: Bob Dylan and the guitarist Mark Knopfler.
According to the description under this video the singer here isn't Dylan, it's a guy named Ted Christopher. Just saying...
Seguo Knopfler dagli anni 70 e la sua musica, il suo sound, mi appartengono nel profondo. Grazie Mark per tutte le emozioni donate nei decenni, certe melodie ed il modo di interpretarle non possono che fuoriuscire da una grande persona.
Remembering all our loved ones in heaven. Thank you for such a beautiful song.❤🙏🎸
Great version. When I was a college radio DJ in 80-81, I used to play an incredible version of this song by Pete Carr and the phone lines would light up
Mark is the best . Such a haunting version of the song .
How could anyone give this song a thumbs down? A fabulous version and a fitting tribute. I think this is the only time Bob Dylan ever allowed someone to alter or add to his lyrics...
❤❤❤stupenda la chitarra di Mark il suo tocco è inconfondibile sempre magico❤❤❤❤❤❤
A marvellous example of the genre of Rock and Roll.
A Dillon classic and a vision of excellence.
Simply fabulous.
👍🇦🇺
One of the master pieces in music history
Great 👍
Thank You Mark!
You are really simply the best!!
The best of ALL!
MARK, you are a master on the guitar !
Hey man, I can listen to you all day !!
Every guitar player that's ever heard of Mark Knopfler wants to be like him. Pound for pound he's the best there is. So clean...always!
Sem dúvida a melhor versão. Extraordinário.!
Glad I found this, Happy Birthday Mark one of my favorite singer💜
two of my favorite artists at their very best.
J'adore cette version. Deux artistes et guitaristes exceptionnels...... Respect total.🙆🙆🙆🎸🎸🎼🎵🎶
I remember that awful March morning so clearly. And the heart wrenching feeling I felt as it was broadcast on the radio while on a tea break at my place of work. I like to think, that this song helped bring some kind of peace, to those that were left with the immense lose and heartbreak that this act of evil had brought into their lives.
Mark Knopfler, best guitarrist ever
Oh yes!
No one plays the guitar like him!!!
Although- there`s still Eric Clapton. But then: nothing...
Gabriele Möller david glimour and jimi hendrix
doctorhrdware Chris Well Hendrix is more influential.
And Gilmour is one of my favorites, but Knopfler is better.
No, sorry. Jeff Beck is the greatest guitarist ever. Mark Knopfler would undoubtedly agree.
A beautiful version for a sad ,sad event. Love Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler together !! Simply divine ;)
How can a guitar be played so slow, yet have so much feeling and power of expression. Well done Mark...
Thank you, you are incapable of failing to entertain, l have sought out you music over the years and you have yet to fail to please. Thank you for sharing
I can't stop crying, it's beautiful.
Estupenda versión y con el mejor guitarrista..
Magnificent song and interpretation: Three different, Bob, Guns, And this💥all bringing SHIVERS🔥🎶it’s great cover🙏🎵really Sensitivity 💥I’m like very🎵💕
Meaningful and sorrowful. Great.
Timeless.... Mark Knofler as usual just brilliant
Lindo demais!! Mark Knopfler é sem igual na guitarra ...a melhor versão!!
Wonderful
🎹🎶🎼⭐️
Knopfler speaks guitar language!...
Beautifully!
Ok, this is the best version of "Knockin' on Heavens's Door". Mark is so so so soulful guitarist!
This is spine-tingling. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
Unire due poeti così, l'uno delle parole e l'altro della sua statocaster, è semplicemente SENSAZIONALE.
Hearing two poets like them, one with his words and the other with his stratocaster, playing together is simply SENSATIONAL.
A Bob e' sempre piaciuto Mark. Fin dagli esordi di Mark, Bob l'ha sempre cercato. Volendolo piu' volte come chitarrista nei propi lavori.
Io mi ritengo un privilegiato ad aver avuto la fortuna di crescere con la musica di Bob......
Two of the world's best singers. Fine harmony.
Wow. Absolutely heartbreakingly wonderful.
Agree ... like so many artists of his caliber.. however I see Dire Straits was inducted in the Rock and Roll hall of fame .. and his main band mate acknowledged Mark even though he wasn’t there ... they are a phenomenon.. and for sure Mark is up there with Dylan , JJ Cayle and Clapton ... they will live on forever ... they are true geniuses in the fusion of good lyrics and music ... they all give me goosebumps when I listen to them !!!!!!
Genialne!!! Najlepsza wersja.
Prepoznala bih njegovu gitaru među tisucama drugih, Mark je najbolji gitarist, normalna osoba, skroman, jednostavan, a njegova muzika me odusevljava od 1977. g i dira u dusu pozivio nam jos dugo🥰❤🥰
Inconfondibile e toccante tocco sulle corde di Mark ogni volta che suona è una magia
Meaningful and sorrowful. Great.
this performance blew me away, so soulful
So awesome Psalms are to be sung and bring Peace in troubled land across the Globe; thanks Mark and Bob 🙏🏽☮✌️💚

Fantasztikusan jó zene. Ezt a gitárjátékot ezer közül is meg lehet ismerni!!
How awesome, to hear music from the heart, this one is and always be short and sweet !!!
This IS a great version!!!! I happen to love the version on the "Before the Flood" live album with the Band. The organ is so nice and Dylan sings with so much intensity. This version is definitely in the top 2!!!
Mark has been at the top of my list from the start. Brothers in Arms is an example of emotional guitar playing and the solo in Telegraph road is unbeatable.
My favourite guitarist, sublime and superb innovative music.
I used to play the Going Home theme from Local Hero as i used to land at Teeside Airport after travelling back from Saudi Arabia, it ' Switched my head back on to realty '. Magic !
