It isn't. Scientists have been missing a link. This guy must be the missing link. School girls, on the other hand, have been looking for the kissing link.
Beyond total mastery of his guitar. No words, in my opinion, to describe the genius of Mark and what he does with an axe. He makes the impossible look EASY as he doesn't even break one bead of sweat as he rips off the most fantastic riffs.
That intro is so frickin badass, I think I've watched it a bazillion times. I think my heart stopped for a few seconds. Holy mother of God!...He looks so freaking hot!!!! He just owns the stage! Like a King! At 0:32 when he gets that sound just by doing whatever on the fret, so hot! and then from 0:52 to 0:54 just those few notes... and his look?! Killer!
@@Ozzie143 Late, but thank you for that! He just places it so perfectly. Since the time I flipped out on this intro, I have managed to see him live, last summer. Glad I did, I don't think he is going to tour anymore. The boy can still play! I think he changes guitar almost every song. Beautiful guitars.
Over in England, all their great guitarists revere and recognize the true great talents of Mark Knopfler. Regrettably, it's in the U.S. where if you found someone who knew who Knopler is, almost all would say something like, "Oh yeah, didn't he have some hits in the eighties?" It is true and regrettable that the U.S. music scene is controlled for the most by corporations and air play of songs is programmed by pinheads who are only interested in their stations numbers. Knopler is one hell of a great singer-songwriter but especially a phenomenal guitarist.
You're talking about guitarists in England and after you talk about normal US population. Start by comparing apples to apples before saying dumb things.
My God this was not band it is THE BAND, what a performance, 2 drummers, everybody from Straits knows the business. This guy on Steel Pedal Guitar is so cool...I don t know what the youth of today listen, is Lady Gaga still in or whoever because i don t use TV. I am happy that am grow on this stuff. Maybe is this music education reason why i am stil normal while people around me eat some crazy pills and kills them self with chinese wodka and beer from 2 liter plastic bottle for 2 Marks.
I agree hundred percent with all comments... He is a master, and I feel blessed like this guy saying thank you, you are right. I uploaded a version of this song that I love also, and will be honored if you check it out, someday. It says Heavy Fuel Dire Straits by Joe Galvan, (that is me) Fantastic example of composer this unbelievable Mark Knopfler. Keep going Mark.
J'étais à ce concert ou à celui du lendemain. J'avais 21 ans. Il pleuvait beaucoup. Knopfler a fait le job, très bien, sans forcer, un son magnifique, une facilité déconcertante, pas une note à côté ou de trop, mais il avait l'air de s'ennuyer....
Deniz Oktay we'll considering Knopfler sold over 150 million albums including with Dire Straits I doubt it's a hundred times more 😜 But yes I get your point. I love them both too !
Knopfler is an awesome songwriter, (plus his unconventional guitar tecnique), Gilmour has a great "feeling" too; but he has a wonderfull voice... and most of all he 's been part of Pink Floyd; I luv them both but you cant compare any Dire Straits work w a thing like "the wall" or "Animals" (or DSOTM);
5 Dislikes, ... hmmm How Many Of Them Are OCD Attention Starved To Be Semi-Noticed as Non-Conformists. He Is GREAT Guitarist>> Good Big Light Show Also. True, live Versions Are Not as Attractive, in 1 Way, as Pre-Recorded Mixed, Ideal Acoustics Studio Versions But They LIVE Action In Person To Witness The Human "Electricity" Of The Performance.
Most of the Metal people would say Steve Vai, Satriani or Malmstein, but 4 me Mark is still Nr 1 in subject E Guitar i know something about music i played Bass my own. He is so Gentleman in hes playing, he don t need to play with tongue, ass or dick to prove hes skill. Is not that i say he theoretic cannot, guess he can do it with everything, but he just don t need it. He is like conductor on stage, a manager that every one else looks to Mark before own solo... Kinda like daddy can i do my own game for little while?
I will hire these guy to promote my fuel from Recycling plastic from the Mid Pacific Gyre. The Heavy Fuel is #4 Bunker Oil made from waste. HEAVY FUEL by GYRE STRAITS

I love how Mark Knopfler just looks so nonchalant, bored even, while he's dominating that guitar. It's awesome.
Its called , GIFTED, like Hendrix, Clapton, Page etc, great stuff
Thank you for the words i couldnt find
Love MK and his amazing music 💕💕💕
The intro alone, I cannot understand how that is even humanly possible, I seriously cannot
It isn't. Scientists have been missing a link. This guy must be the missing link.
School girls, on the other hand, have been looking for the kissing link.
Sends fucking chills up and down me ol spine!

true, and in actuality a talent like this appears maybe only once in a millenium. only a few have an ear and mind to detect this. mk guitar virtuoso
and the tone, raw clean powerful chords, no pic, nothing like it
And he is lefthanded...
Yes, 100% true and spot on!
Best ever lived! Period.
I am running out of words to describe how magnificent Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits are.
It really can't get any better than the raw power of Mark Knopfler.
it can't
This guy is in a league all of his own, the benchmark

That "whatever" is just him doing hammer on and vibrato

@C. L. SM: Haha, yes great isn`t it? Best guitar player that ever walked the earth!

Eh.
It's what it is.
Your comment doesn't make any sense. 🤦♂️

I'm USA and recognize Knopfler as being in a league entirely of his own
One of THE Best Bands on the Planet!!!'
Talent like this rolls around once in a century, maybe
Guthrie Govan
Checked out Guthrie, gifted Guitarist. But basically another Joe Satriani, light lunch.
Yes but it is not how good u play guitar it is what u get out of a guitar as a matter of creation ....
@@heeshammomad9876 There you have said it mate. 100% true!!!
Good heavens, that intro alone! Unbelievable talented and gifted guitarist! Just awesome...
Totally agree !
the truly talented artists make it LOOK easy. Mark Knoplefer is a GREAT example
One of the best guitarists!!!! A master! !Virtuoso! 💥💥💥💥💥💥
That was one hell of a tour !!!!!!!
Dat tone! :-D
Soldano!!!!!
There is always a point in MK music where the magic begins. In this piece it is 0.59. You can feel it.... perfect!
Never in my entirety have heard a guy grab the neck of a guitar and produce this kind of sound
Une profonde fatigue se lit sur son visage......Mark Knopfler a trouvé la paix en solo.
The master himself ! the one & Only!
last time I was sober....... great upload
Legend speaks for himself.what a musician.respect for u sir
Oh my God!! Mark Knopfler is out of this world, what a master.
the most bad ass intro of the rock & roll history
Seriously!
yes it is, crazy, nothing, no one, compares
Killer Intro!
Wade Xanders and hes doing that by fingers! no picks
My God this was not band it is THE BAND, what a performance, 2 drummers, everybody from Straits knows the business. This guy on Steel Pedal Guitar is so cool...I don t know what the youth of today listen, is Lady Gaga still in or whoever because i don t use TV. I am happy that am grow on this stuff.

Paul Franklin on steel guitar; it don't get much better.

Thank you!
Sharing is caring.
Look at Mark's confidence
Adel Houdrouge : Amazing Intro ! Wow
Leila Houdrouge . The Sultan of électric guitar.
Like a Boss
What a BIG man, a son of God
2019...stille here! No ugly trap music for me!
There is nothing to do ... when I need a charge I always come back here !!!!!!! How about? Let's get on this train together ???
Every time I connect this song with biker movie "Running cool" with Andrew Divoff! Cool biker movie with cool soundtrack!
he is a great guitar player who doesn't get enough credit i love the way he finger picks the guitar just like Lindsey Buckingham.
Hectic song.Heavey
I run on heavy fuel ;)
Ohh..yeah...
I WAS THERE !!!!!
I recorded this on TV the night it happened!
Chris White - Saxophone & stuff
idk about the sax but about the stuffs you are right :D
Le patron
Triple Ginus !!!!!!! 👍

wow men You`ve got 666 videos...my favourite number
Him and David Gilmour are underrated guitarists I find.
Mitchell Toulouse i don't think Gilmour is underrated but Knopfler is
Deniz Oktay Knopfler underrated ?? He sold more then Gilmour ! Knopfler is nbloody awesome
simon grech in case you forgot Gilmour IS Pink Floyd so he probably sold like ten times more than Knopfler but I love them both
Deniz Oktay we'll considering Knopfler sold over 150 million albums including with Dire Straits I doubt it's a hundred times more 😜
But yes I get your point. I love them both too !

That intro is the most casually PISSED-OFF soloing I've ever heard him do!
5 Dislikes, ... hmmm How Many Of Them Are OCD Attention Starved To Be Semi-Noticed as Non-Conformists. He Is GREAT Guitarist>> Good Big Light Show Also. True, live Versions Are Not as Attractive, in 1 Way, as Pre-Recorded Mixed, Ideal Acoustics Studio Versions But They LIVE Action In Person To Witness The Human "Electricity" Of The Performance.
i think that the live version's of most of their song are far better that the studio version
Most of the Metal people would say Steve Vai, Satriani or Malmstein, but 4 me Mark is still Nr 1 in subject E Guitar i know something about music i played Bass my own. He is so Gentleman in hes playing, he don t need to play with tongue, ass or dick to prove hes skill.

GREAT INTRO... 0:51 is simple and great...
The UK Steam Engine
What's going on in the percussion section at 1:18. i'll take what he's having.
They have balls. Heavy fuel!!
de la gratte que du bon
Omg
If you want it!
Show
Louder!
The Knopf beats everyone
just the intro
Estou a ver em 2020. Hugs from Portugal
Self taught!!!
I will hire these guy to promote my fuel from Recycling plastic from the Mid Pacific Gyre. The Heavy Fuel is #4 Bunker Oil made from waste. HEAVY FUEL by GYRE STRAITS
I think it was on 5TH september not 29TH
How does he make it look so easy????????? Because it ain't!
J'étais à ce concert ou à celui du lendemain. J'avais 21 ans. Il pleuvait beaucoup. Knopfler a fait le job, très bien, sans forcer, un son magnifique, une facilité déconcertante, mais il avait l'air de s'ennuyer....
Motorhead should have covered this
Jesus. What just happened?
How long did it take Chet Atkins to figure this out? Less than a nanosecond
But this is not Chet Atkins! It's B.B King!
I thinkh i'm underrated...but mark ...are you serious?
True that Mitchell Toulouse; they're probably the best at the top end of popularity
Never liked the other fool in Pink Floyd
“Write my suicide note on a hundred dollar bill...”
MK Guitar, Meaner Than A Freight Train, Way Meaner
Mark Knopfler, all else is light lunch in comparison
ever wandered why entro is dragrd out..
he's not your God's son; is my GOD
I think Terry Williams and Pick Weathers are dire straits best drummers.
1:19 Slipknot member.
I don't like this drummer. Terry Williams forever
Pick Whithers
@18 seconds, looks so disinterested lol doing something hardly anyone can do.
I don´t think this is Dire Straits. On every stree was Mark Knopfler solo album...
Rui Ribeiro take it however you like it. It's still great music
Todos os álbuns dos Dire Straits são, no fundo, albums a solo do Mark Knopfler.
It's a Dire Straits song
On every street is the last Dire Straits album :)
disappointing,sounds half hearted
Better sound, video in Basel/92 and Mark is also happier:).....smiles most of the time! :D
Le son ? Ah ? Le son, aucune importance. Il fallait juste être là-bas. Sinon, couper le son, couper l'image et regarder ailleurs.
YOU play it, Katty-chick
Motorhead should have covered this
