@@FVT-tn8ji Knopfler is playing live on stage with Eric Clapton in this video. Years earlier, Clapton had a hit song called "Lay Down Sally". In this live performance Knopfler introduces Eric jokingly as a "last minute guitarist" who has "played before" 4:00 and then later he works the words "Here comes Johnny playing Lay Down Sally..." 4:52 into the song instead of the usual lyrics. In all, it shows the love and respect that Knopfler has for Clapton. The usual lyrics are "Here come Johnny singing 'I got a woman'".
Knopfler and Clapton are not the epitome of human excellence. The epitome of human excellence would be Dr. Jonas Salk, or a doctor working tirelessly to find a cure for childhood cancer.
I love Eric Clapton as a musician, but as a personality he is a problematic figure to say the least, far from "signifying the epitome of human excellence".

EC & MK had a wonderful time together on stage there. Played a lot on each other's gigs and gave us some of the best live music ever! Thank you, heroes!
I was at this concert. The Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday concert Wembley Stadium June 1988. What a day! Mark wanted Eric to sing more of his song but Eric refused saying it was their gig. So they settled on Eric playing Wonder Tonight
There are just a handful of guitarist that are just special....there's David Gilmore and Brian May and these two..I was blessed in seeing all 4 at some point in my life and none of them disappointed me in feeling it down to head to toes in just how spectacular and special a night they made for me.
As Tina Turner said - Simply the Best!!!! Almost wore out my CD's with Dire Straits in the 80's and 90's. Never gets old. Love them and Eric of course, the legend. I remember The Creme. We need more music with more soul. Amy Winehouse comes to mind. So much joy to behold.
Eric plays a lot of the lead, probably MK could play it equally well, but the respect between the two is obvious. Doesn’t make a difference. Just to see the two legends play together is the best possible thing. Just brilliant.
A lot of people don't realize this but when you don't have to deal with vocals and you just get to play your guitar like Eric did in this video those are some of the best moments ever!
I enjoy the mutual respect between two giants of English Rock Eric and Mark.... plus Eric was at a time when his guitar work was so edgy and raw... masterclass this stuff is
This band plays music like nothing I've ever heard. Their sound touches us deep down inside. Something very exciting bounces up inside of us, as it touches our hearts.
You know its going to be a great show when you've got two genius guitarist backing each other up. I mean who wouldn't want to see these two genius working together, anybody?
Saw these guys live in a pub in south London a week before sultans of swing became the huge hit. Had a beer at the bar with Mark. They were their own roadies and had a green Tranzit dual wheel van. Great times. There were corrugated fences in the East End with Clapton is God painted on them. ❤❤
Cadê os brasileiros de bom gosto que curtiu e curte até hoje essa maravilha aí . Hoje e dia de relembrar as antigas hoje 29 10 22 estou curtindo esse sucesso ai em casa em Uberlândia MG más alguém do passado ou do Brasil que está curtindo esse sucesso ai
Wenn ich die Musik von damals höre, geht's mir einfach nur gut. Erinnerung an die unbeschwerte Zeit der Jugend, die nie, nie wieder kehrt. Denn dann heute ist nur noch ein Elend.g an alle von damals... Ksrin

Mark Knopfler is one of the most talented musicians and song writers ever to have taken the stage. And he is still going strong today.
HE IS GREAT GOOD MIX AND THE BEST. HID BLESS THEM THK YOU LORD!!!
THKYOU LORD FOR THEM CAROL .
❤❤❤😂😂great

Eric with all his worldly accomplishments so stoked to play this amazing gig with Mark and his amazing band!
I love how he changed the lyrics to "Here comes Johnny playing Lay Down Sally" to honour Clapton.
I don't get it, would you please explain it to me?

@@petercohen3966 oh ok, I didn‘t know the song, I will check it out right now, thanks for explaining!
Still doing it 36 years later ,🥰
Ya.....life was simple then....but beautiful!!!😊❤
Two of my top five greatest guitar players in one video. Mark Knopfler and Ol’ Slowhand. What a night that must’ve been
Two of the best in the world
Indeed. Whether it's Mark leading and Eric on second guitar, or the other way round, the result is always brilliant
Mark 1
Hermosooo Mark.Siempreee un caballero!!Banda fantástica.Pasa el tiempo te encuentro y lo disfrutooo a lo mas.Grandeeee ERES ayer hoy y MÑNA 😂❤
Both Knopfler and Clapton signify the epitome of human excellence. Sadly such quality is rarely visible in music today
Today's music is only money.
exactly the reason Im still listening to the real tunes of
of our days past🌬💨💕
Totally agree 💯

I totally geeked out at this...two guitar heroes together!!!
Mark and Eric -- two GREAT guitar musicians...
The best
They're both great but Clapton "screams " , they don't mix well .
nothing ever better !!!

How great is Knopfler you ask...? He has Clapton playing backup.
I will only stop hearing 'Walk Of Life' when I die. Good memories that i keep with this song.

❤❤❤❤❤I love these guys. ❤❤❤❤
Good times when Clapton was on every single concert in Britain
Wow ! Mark and Eric on the same stage...what a treat !!!
For me the best guitar player ( Mark Knopfler ) and best Rock Group ( Dire Straits ) Ever !!!!!!
I was at this concert. The Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday concert Wembley Stadium June 1988. What a day! Mark wanted Eric to sing more of his song but Eric refused saying it was their gig. So they settled on Eric playing Wonder Tonight

You know you've made it big when you can get Eric Clapton to come join your band to be the rhythm guitarist
Clapton was lucky to get the invite, way out of is depth, crap playing
@@ranuiqh ha ha I'd think they are both legions in their own right, only thing missing is JJ
Mark and EC are loved and respected all over the world! Only for one reason ...the boys can play
Mark also played rythm for many eric lives
Ahhh the best guys, nothing more to say!
This was the times when music still was music
Mark et clapton ....des forces tranquilles du rock'n'roll , quel bonheur .... Merci à eux et qu'ils continuent de nous de nous régaler....
What a great collaboration! Those 2 are terrific together. Make my day!

Complicity and respect between my two favorites guitar heroes. heaven on earth🎉

What do you mean mark could PROBABLY play the lead. He wrote walk of life!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark always played the telecaster on this song to play the main riff
Complements to both from both
Just the best!, love both these guys
Two legends on ONE stage, What a TREAT!
his concert, and standing behind. What a humility.
A lot of people don't realize this but when you don't have to deal with vocals and you just get to play your guitar like Eric did in this video those are some of the best moments ever!

Mark is on another planet
These guys are unreal..
Damn! Eric is an amazing addition to this live performance!
Agreed. If your wear some good headphones and listen to this, you will hear Eric's playing through the right channel.
Super Eric et Mark
I wish the Straits would do one more show (with Clapton) and film & record it and make it a double disc live album!
Te olvidas de jimi hendrix
Not a chance. Nowdays Mark is only doing some sort of campfire jamming shit that bores even the cows dead.
@@bababaysmith damn
Mr. Clapton invited Mk to play Layla too
Comme d'habitude c'est fantastique, j'adore 😭💓👍😍❤️🤩💕💞😘
2nd best version of Walk ever, this time it really rocks, only Paul's steel is missing.
Grew up hearing such great artists and wonderful songs. We don't Get to hear such amazing music since some time ❤ to both n full team
That's the way to go!
Now that’s what I call ROCK AND ROLL
