Of all the many many versions I’ve seen him performed this song, this final solo part truly shined his magical improv that’s simply endlessly variant worthy of being a GOAT. Salute to Master Knopfler.
This may be my favourite version of Telegraph Road EVER. The vocals are more emotionally sung than any other version I’ve listened to. Not to mention that outro solo... Pure magic! 👏🏼
This performance, as well as many others, has got even more feeling than on the record, where it fades out. I don't understand how he does it, but his songs always grow when he plays them live. It has always been like this, since -78, as far as I can tell. Mark Knopfler is such an amazing and unique live performer. What a fantastic musician and songwriter he is, (and his band too). ❤️ Always. 🙏/ Carin
Probably this version is one of the most powerfull and successful live version. The final solo is absolutly AMAZING....!!! I love this song, clearly one of my favourites songs of MK (please, don´t miss to hear a Cordoba 2019 live version of Telegrph Road: is abolutely fantastic !!! )
A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness He built a cabin and a winter store And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travellers came walking down the track And they never went further and they never went back Then came the churches then came the schools Then came the lawyers then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was - the telegraph road-
Of all the 2005 European concerts this stands out as being the holyshit tight OMG WTF is this he is doing .. aha i see its in Amsterdam .. dont hate me but the weed is strong with this one :) Not that there is anything wrong with that ... just Perfect
The one negative of this is how he chose to set-up his Strat sound. The original studio sound was clean with some reverb and compression; the tone was crisp and jangled as only a Strat can. Here it is overdriven and the tone is muffled - it loses it's vitality. It doesn't do justice to his fingerwork.
Well he can't be astounding in everything can he, you've got to give him a teensy bit of legroom, being as he wrote the words, music, arranged it, sang and played his guitar as only he can. I'll say again you've got to give him a teensy bit of legroom. PRAT.

Mark Knopfler, the best guitarist and composer ever in the world!!!!!❤🎸❤
Not saying knopflers the greatest guitarist there ever was but he's certainly in the top 1, fact 👌🏻 👴🏼 🎸
Never before have I ever heard anything so correct, well said sir, you're a gem.
He certainly is in the top ONE on this planet. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Agreed. Number one in uniqueness. And number 1 by a mile for nonchalantly jamming and finger picking an insane solo!
Of all the many many versions I’ve seen him performed this song, this final solo part truly shined his magical improv that’s simply endlessly variant worthy of being a GOAT. Salute to Master Knopfler.
You probably have heard it already but just in case check out his Cordoba 2010 version
אין אפחד שישווה למרק ממש גאונות של מוזיקה🥇🎸💞

God damn, just look how he is playing that guitar! He is so awful good, out of this world!
Yes❤
Amazing 😄, perfect!💗👍🎸🌟
Knopfler is the Master of Spirit flowing through the Music. . .
best song ever to crank max volume for air guitar when all your neighbors on the whole block are asleep, trust me they will thank you.
Yes 👍😂
Absolutely mesmerising guitar solo - better than any telegraph road solo from his early days
Yes, very strong version!
The best ever!!!

The lord !!MARK knopfler is the BEST off the BEST..🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇵🇹🇵🇹
Tocco magico! MK unico nel suo genere!🎸🎸🎸🎸❣️
Broke the mold. Totally unique. A freaking wonder. WTF.
This performance may be good, but it can’t hold a candle to the precision of his Munich 2005 peformance.
Magico MARK 💋
mind blowing
Yes 👍
Adorei demais!! Meu amor ⚘ te amo ❤
That strat sound is fantastic better than the surh
I agree. Fender strat sounds best. I never liked the sound of any of the Pensas for that matter.
Genio
"Telegraph Road" explayando con soberbia su extraordinario lenguaje. Todo un lujo este icono del rock.
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came walking down the track
And they never went further and they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was - the telegraph road-
Thank you 👌
He is a god!!!
Indeed, wish I could sing that badly
Gênio!
So nice Mark ❤❤❤❤❤❤😆
Love it Mark ❤❤❤❤❤
Of all the 2005 European concerts this stands out as being the holyshit tight OMG WTF is this he is doing .. aha i see its in Amsterdam .. dont hate me but the weed is strong with this one :)

Brutal...
The drummer is very good too.

Here it is overdriven and the tone is muffled - it loses it's vitality. It doesn't do justice to his fingerwork.
He's going for a more Clapton "woman tone" here with the neck pickup only and the mids and treble cutoff. Different for sure but it's also quite good
At least he experiments with different tone and set-up..unlike EC...my opinion only ofc 💕👍
❤🎸❤💫🎸❤💫🎸❤💫🎸❤
monstro
What Messi can do white a football Sir Mark does white a Red electric guitar not from this world 🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👌😇
Don't be so shy. I'm sure you can.
Unfortunately for him he got older. The solo at 1983 live was spot much better and precise and faster
Great version but the guitar sounds a bit too much "crunchy"
The closest thing to sxx-
nearly better- 'cause you can repeat it over and over and again....
Masterclass guitarist that can't sing.
Shut the fuck up.
I do a very good MK vocals cover & I can't sing either, lol. I'm sure that's why it's so good:).
Well he can't be astounding in everything can he, you've got to give him a teensy bit of legroom, being as he wrote the words, music, arranged it, sang and played his guitar as only he can.
I'll say again you've got to give him a teensy bit of legroom.
PRAT.
