    This concert holds a special place for me. It was on a Saturday, I watched the show, while working actually, later that night, I met my future wife. We've been together 35 years, so I always remember that day and that concert

    Two sacred monsters on stage but MK has an unmistakable and inimitable style. He plays with a disarming naturalness. His music has accompanied my life and we have grown old together. Before I die I will be able to say the same words that Ulysses said about Achilles and Hector: "I lived in the time of the giants"

      MK changed my (not only musical) life: I remember it was my football club's birthday party; I had to go, but my fear was that I would miss the radio broadcast of this concert. I slipped away to listen to the concert on the car radio in my father's car. I had discovered Dire Straits two years before and it was really the most important thing in my teenage life. The Dire Straits phenomenon was huge at that time. It was afterwards a long time to wait and hope for a new album that finally came out in 1991. I went to the Paris Bercy concerts in 91 and 92 with my father; he was as stuck as we were by the musical level. More than 30 years later, nothing and nobody has equalled MK.

    I watched this in September 1988 on TV. That was the first time I ever saw them both. Since then, I'm in love with their music and listened to this particular concert through for like a few thousand times. The coda to 'Sultans of Swing' is timeless. And 'Walk of Life' here is the best of all versions, particularly because of the boost from Clapton.

    Sempre fui fã do Dire Straits, mas essa foi a primeira vez que vi Mark Knopfler tocando! E junto com Eric clapton! Meus guitarristas preferidos eram amigos e tocavam juntos!
    Eu tinha 16 anos na época. Fiquei em" estado de graça "...🙌

    Very good quality of the video. Live Aid 1985 and Mandela concert in London are the best ever music event of the last 40 years . Remember that Dire Straits and Simple Minds has dominated this Mandela concert 1988.

    I watched this on TV at the time and their performance astounded me even though I wasn’t a huge fan. Sultans of Swing is incredible but it’s the ending of Brothers in Arms that is just astonishing. Watching it at the time gave me goosebumps. I doubt MK ever played it as well as that night. He was totally in a zone.

    What a beautiful gesture in the part of the musicians to to have a Mandela benefit concert back in 1988. Wow I am blown away, especially when being a South African. Playing to 600m people is no mean feat. Love it. I wonder if Julius Malema, a leader of an political party knows about this concert. A very deranged and angry person, a racist too. Listen to the music and humble yourself Julius. Maybe you may learn some love for all people. God bless the members of the musical team, and all the people supported the concert.

    I recorded this off the TV in 1988! Still have the VHS cassette!
    Funny how Mark made the Pensa guitar sound like a Strat and a Les Paul! He found one guitar that did the job of many!
    I never liked the Pensa and the Floyd Rose bridge is horribly unnecessary when he didn't use it! He went back to Fender Strats in the last two decades.

    Mark is the man that turned chicken pickin into rock. What a talented man. He started as a guitarist and got tired of being sacked by not being able to control his own destiny so he learned to sing and I always give this advice to young guitarist. there is only so much room in the world for great guitarist and these days they are a dime a dozen. You need more than that to make music your entire life on your terms. Learn to sing the songs that you play.
