      First time I saw this, I thought about that video of the "Drummer overqualified for the gig.` 😏No, seriously, he slayed it, though if
      @samlawrence4670 is correct about that story, it didn't seem to bother the rest of the band any. Go for it Terry!

    Mark Knopfler is a guitarist’s guitarist. Brilliant finger picking style that is his own.

      Yep. When it comes to purely instrumental compositions, Joe Satriani is my fave, but I admire a lot of guitarists out there, and Knopfler for me will always be "Mark The Long Thumb"😄
      This song is an evergreen; as I'm from Poland I know kids from polish music schools, for whom it was a point of honor, learning to play "Sultans Of Swing" or "Brothers In Arms".

      All while looking like he just came back from a run after his first job interview in the 80's. I unironically love his unusual fashion sense and casual nature. And his talent of course. Grew up with Dire Straits, thanks to my dad.

    The concert was in 1983 in London. The fashion was very 80s, including the unstructured jackets with the sleeves pushed up and the sweatbands. Dire Straits was a British band, but the rhythm guitarist was American. The lead guitarist, Mark Knopfler, is still working at the age of 74 and released a new album in April 2024.

  • @arisultanik

    Glad you watched this. I was 16 years old, in high school when I heard this for the first time. I never heard of the Dire Straits before that. A friend gave me his Walkman and said that I must hear this. It blew my mind! I bought the double cassette and wouldn’t stop listening to the concert. Then, with the little money I had, I bought their other cassettes. Then Brothers in Arms came out and the Dire Straits came to Israel for three concerts in 1985. I couldn’t go 😢. I have all of their recordings and all of Mark Knopflers solo recordings. 34 years later, I fulfilled my dream and saw Mark live in Budapest in 2019 and sat with my wife in the first row😀

    Recorded in London, at the Hammersmith Odeon. Proof too that pre autotune that bands live sounded as they did on the studio version, but with a performance thrown in. Of course the Queen Live Aid set you did shows it too. A time when music was magic. So Telegraph road from the same Alchemy show is a must see. Hoping you and yours are and remain well. Have yourselves a fine week.

    I was there. I was somewhere ourt in that crowd. And I'm a singer and guitarist. Mark tore the fucking place down for the entirety of that concert. Terry, what can I say? He was locked in to the "pocket" of every cut. These videos where you see him singing along with every solo to feel it, to ride the wave of the song and pass that along to the rest of the band... That's the kind of drummer you want behind you when you're standing up front and just giving it.

    Billy Joel started, sometime in the 2000s, not selling tickets to the front rows of his concerts, because they were usually bought by scalpers and sold to rich people or companies, and those folks were there to be seen, not for the music. Once the concert was about to begin, his people would then go out to the cheap seats and find music lovers to be invited up to the front row for the concert.

    One of the very greatest guitarist of all time and criminally underrated by music journalists. The usual lists are often topped by people that play relentlessly hard, fast and loud, but jamming so many notes together it sometimes sounds more like a technical exercise than a song. Knopflers playing is deceptively technical with a control of tempo and volume that is second to none and every note feels so deliberate. It's like between his lyrics the guitar also has a voice and something it wants to say. Telegraph Road and Brothers in Arms are a couple other famous examples of his great "duets" with his guitars.

    Remember YOUR MIKE IS ON, so LOUD, especially with excitement over trivial items for the most part AND LOSING OUT ON THE NUANCE of the SONG!!!! TURN YOUR MIKE DOWN!!! Enjoy it, and talk about it afterwards-WOW

    Telegraph Road from the same tour is also epic.
    I worked these shows as security (Seemore Security) in London and they were brilliant concerts.

    Lucky enough to have experienced Dire Straits in April 1979 at Center Stage in Canton Michigan. A small intimate venue that'd hold around 1000 people with best acoustics I've ever heard.

    One of the best live performances ever! Terry Williams kills it!

    Take each individual performance on stage alone was amazing. Then try and do it all together, and not miss a single timing. That shows a group that just clicks. You can see Mark acting as the conductor with nods and looks throughout. That is the most impressive part of this performance for me.

    Awesome reaction my dudes. Big hug from Sweden. This music means alot to me im born 1981 and my old papa used to put my legs on his feet at just 5 years old and made me learn the rythm in this music. I Swear this music made me appreciate dancing and rock in general. I will forever cherish this memory thanks to Dire Straits music. My old father is gone 7 years past now but memory remains.

    I love in older videos when the drummers are moving faster than the cameras could keep up, makes them look even more ridiculously fast, ludicrous speed.

    Their live version of Money for Nothing on the live Aids from 1985 is a must see. Sting sings along with them. Great job guys for all your reactions.

    Mark is a genius songwriter/performer/storyteller and one of the UK's finest ever musical exports.

    PLEASE react to "Telegraph Road" from that same concert! It's one of the best live performances of any song ever, period.

    Please give credits to sound engineer.. nobody talks about the quality of sound..i mean it was LIVE and it sounds better than studio version.If you see cables connected to their guitars let me know..i think it was very first time when a band used wireless gear.AWESOME reaction btw.❤❤❤

    Great review! One of my favorite bands and yes, this version is the best. Just watching the guitar solo, the drummer and then the rest of the band being able to make it all come together so smoothly.

    This is from their live album Alchemy. I love Dire Straits, but they are definitely at their best live. So good.❤
