    Great rework. This was one of my bands growing up. Mark Knophhler, the lead guitarist and singer. He’s literally a genius. He’s written sound tracks for movies The princess bride ,,, prob his biggest box office success. Huge movie in the 90’s. If you want to know more about him and research if unique finger style guitar playing. He highly regarded as one of the best ever finger style guitarists ever. And he’s such a great story teller in his songs! That’s what makes him truly truly special. No one did what he did…. The way he did it. He is and was a gift to us. And music fan.

    This song got Dire Straits' career started, but the 1978 studio version is much shorter than this and has almost completely different personnel. The band went through changes and this "Alchemy Live" concert from 1984 features the new group, most noticeably to me the new drummer, Terry Williams. Now I can't listen to the original any more. Luckily there's a live album of this concert.

    Dire Straits, they have quite a lot more masterpieces...each masterpiece is telling a story...takes you along that journey with the song. The 'embracing' as you described it...😉 Some masterpieces are so great and powerful that it will bring tears to your eyes...fills you with incredible emotions...and that's the Gods given unique talent of Mark Knopfler...the songwriter, lead singer and guitarist...these masterpieces can make you feel a certain way or hit straight to your soul 😉. It was great to see Sultan of Swing had brought some smiles on your faces...cheers to that 🍻!

    • @mamaflush9945
      @mamaflush9945 2 роки тому

      I will give you a bit of the back story about this song, so as to possibly make it intriguingly enough to give it a listen. At the time Mark Knopfler (Lead vocalist, guitarist) was reading the novel "The Growth of the Soil" by the Nobel Prize winning Norwegian Knut Hamsun (while traveling on this very road) and he was inspired to put the two together and write a song about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades. This road really exists, it runs for 79.828 miles (128.471 Km) as a major north-south state trunkline highway from Bedford Township at the Ohio state line, thru Metro Detroit and was built in 1847. Not trying to interfere in your reaction, only to add context to what the songs about, hope this helps.👍🎶

    Outstanding Reaction!!!! Done the correct way...no interruptions, play it through then review. Andy, watching you throughout the song was a joy to me. Can't tell you how much your obvious joy reflects exactly how I react every time I listen to this rendition. Now I want you to do what I've always done; I almost always listen to this, and other Rock songs, when I'm driving. Try driving and letting your natural love of this song respond. You end up looking whacked out. At 76 now I try not to listen to rock when I'm driving so as to avoid having folks call ahead for cops and an ambulance.
