Those guitar chords were everything i ever wanted in a song. Simply put, this song is musically "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
Man! He had that crowd in the palm of his hand clapping to the coolest of all rhythms. Absolutely fantastic!
Amongst great live performers, no one that i've seen is as calm as Mark Knopfler while doing the level of things he does.
❤
Musica che non ho mai ascoltato ma i Qeen e Freddie Mercury non hanno eguali
Facciamoci prendere dalle Emozioni che la Musica ci dona
I’m 89 and listen with wonder to all of Mark’s work. There are no others
Who have done what seems easy for him
Quando impari a non far paragoni é quando impari ad apprezzare davvero la musica@@luisagaliazzo2879
I love how people from all languages comment on how great MK is. Loved world wide……
@@direstraitsofficial123 Thanks.
Dire Straits🎸💙🖌🇮🇹
After more than 40 years, we still enjoy hearing it live. THANKS Mark from Germany
Nach mehr als 40 Jahren hören wir es noch immer gerne live. DANKE Mark
Every accord from his guitar and the rhythm of the band touches my soul and heart! The performance over years is amazing
The man is a genius. No doubt.
" you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force" how true today!. Prophetic and significant words with superb music. Best ever band, still unrivalled.
Truly an amazing song.
This song is absolutely beautiful and Marks guitar playing is so talented it’s like child play to him. The whole band did an amazing job thank you guys
This is the best DS formation. Alan Clark added depth to the music, and we still have the wonderful Pick Withers with his accurate drumming... For me, the peak of DS was the early 80s.
Unfortunately you are right :-(
The drums and the bass are supreme in this song.
It takes a Band to prop up some words
It doesn't get any better than that.... thank you UA-cam!
Great to see this early version of this song with the original drummer. With MK he never plays a live song the same, he's always improvising to keep it fresh. Played this on his last tour and is still a classic. Class 🎸🎸
My Dad got me into Dire Straits when I was a kid always remember being in his van with him with the Straits on tape..he past away 14 years ago iam 52 and to this day I still listen to this band..really wish they would get back together they still have a lot of fans
Que grandes estos padres
Es la herencia musical que nos dejan y orgullosos de seguir escuchando esta banda bestial
My husband has had this song as his ringtone forever. Mark is truly one of those musicians who always stood out. There was always a magic to his sound. It still leaves me stunned and amazed!!
wow, I believe he has never picked up his phone since....
I also love the original
This version is so magical
Who can appreciate that before Knofler, this guitar sound was unknown.
It still sounds so new and fresh to my ears all these years down the road.
All you need to hear is a couple guitar notes, and you immediately know it's Mark. My favorite guitarist of all time!
After 40 years of MK's guitar hypnosis, I can fully admire the pleasure of Pick Withers'es drum playing and JI's bass.
Fantastic video by the one and only Dire Straits, Mark K.!!😍
Such a great performance! Mark was great as always but how wonderful it is to see Pick Withers at the top of his game!
It never gets old listening to this Awesome band, from their beginning i still play their music everyday, ❤
The way Mark commands the stage is amazing... You can really see how much his bandmates respect him, he's a natural leader.
Yes 👍
Has to be one of the best guitar players ever.
It’s like he’s a conductor managing all the instruments while being the virtuoso guitar player and singer of awesome lyrics that he wrote. Amazing talent!
@@susantulleynehus5054those thoughts were bouncing around in my head, but not nearly in as concise a way as your words clarified. Perfectly well said and perfect timing for me.😊
I like the fact that you only see the musicians and their instruments, nothing else. Nothing distracts! That's when good music is needed!
Man I wish I could've seen these guys live!
J'écoutais dire straits grâce a mon père quand j'étais petit maintenant ca fait 40 ans que j'écoute toujours sans jamais me lasser !
L'art de faire des mélodies avec une guitare electrique , une vrai légende pour moi 😍
Idem pour moi. Je me souviens des portraits du groupe sur le verso de la pochette du premier album. Quel batteur ce Pick.
I remember watching this as a kid, it was awesome then and still is!
The Best one One Upon a time in a West !! Thank You Mark ....
To still be blown away by Mark and band after all these years, says so much of how incredible they are. Just utterly unique and legendary on every level. Astounding.
Hi Ben. Long time no hear. Remember me from the forums BBB😊
For me this was DS at their very best. I loved it when Alan Clark joined. Such a great sound that reminds me of my teenage years buying bootlegs on cassette tape and playing them to death in the car.
@@nigeldignum3919 hey bud, of course I remember a dear fellow knopflerite haha. I'm not on Facebook so you may have thought I'd deleted you. Lol. Hope you're all good and have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2023. 🎄
Muchísimas gracias❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
amen.
I don't care what anybody says, this is a masterpiece
Dire straits with Pick Withers is my favourite era
Zo goed. Ongeloof hoe goed iemand op een gitaar en saxofoon spelen. Wat een eer om dit te mogen beluisteren en bekijken.
Reminds me of how good Dire Straits were and still are. TIMELESS
Starší verze byla super dnesni verze je úplně na dně nevím ale akorát melete HOVNA
Yes 👍
Deserved more accolades and airplay.
My first time seeing this performance…..what a band! Gonna repeat!
As raw as it gets. Amazing footage. You can tell they just love to play.
The feel and light and shade from drummer Pick Withers are wonderful on this performance. His dynamics give the whole band a lift when needed and when he lays back gives them space to breathe.
He really was missed when he went. And the difference is just that, the dynamic command he had, which neither Terry Williams or Chris Whitten ever quite had, although they too were great drummers. Just not quite the same.
@@iainclarke524
Totally agree on all counts. Terry and Chris both fantastic drummers who fitted in very well with the band but Pick had very difficult shoes to fill. Such a beautiful feel he gave to every Dire Straits song, the original in in my opinion the best drummer for the band.
Pick was the best, I loved watching him play on this clip. Love Dire Straights.
I am no drummer, or musician of any kind, but Pick's playing during the final guitar solo in Telegraph Road is probably my favorite drumming performance of all time. I don't know if there's any legitimate science behind this, though :-) I also like listening to Terry Williams, but I have a feeling he was playing "too much" at times, as if he was trying to compete for the spotlight with Mark.
@@iainclarke524 essa música é linda demais
In 80's , I was in Epsom shopping. Heard fab music and they were just playing in the Park there free..I loved them and still do. Bought Sultans of Swing that week 👍😊
wow. which park in Epsom Jill? i'd like to visit said park.
@@firdausHITMAN near to shopping parade
@@JillHayling thanks Jill. Is there a name for the park by any chance please. many thanks
It was a wonderful feeling to listen to this song and watch the band and remember a wonderful time that will never return.🙋♀️I was lucky that it was the time of my youth. What a fortune!!💗🍀🙋♀️
Same feeling i have.
Very fortunate to have these type of songs or music to listen to and be reminded of our younger days.
@@shahrul1962 Thanks for the nice words. I wish you all the best.🙋♀️🌟🎸🌟
@@spomenkazlokolica3061 Music binds the world.
Mark Knofler's binds us his fans.
Take care.....from Malaysia.
@@shahrul1962 I absolutely agree, music brings together people of the same affinities.I suggest you to visit Agustinknoofler channel, Mk's concerts recorded from the audience, wonderful feeling as if you are really at Mark's concert. We get along well. Look ...🍀⚘️🙋♀️🌟🎸🌟
@@spomenkazlokolica3061 yes im already a subscriber
Mark was my crush during my teenage years. 😄🥰 and I loooove this song. The album ALCHEMY is one of my favs of all time.
Still my crush 40 years later 😂
Just a filthy groove!! Reggae, R & B, country chickin pickin, just incredible!
My favourite Straits song!
They were such a tight band full of energy...MK greatest writer ever
Great version ❤
wow, I remember this tour. I was already a fan, but 1980 was the 1st time I got to see them live. many more since, and they never get old to my older ears.....
An amazing song and singer.
Music at it's BEST!!! LEGENDS!!!!
Wonderful, Magical, Immortal Music!!! I bow before Your Genius! 🙏🙏🙏👌✊🌟❣️🌹
❤❤stupenda anche Questa puo cantare e suonare magistralmente mitico Mark❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To see Pick Withers is so amazing.
The best guitar of all the time.
Timeless classic
My pops got me into the Who, Zz top and Pink Floyd, who I've seen live the division bell tour. Kudos to anybody who''s seen dire straits live. They really do jam like no other
I saw them twice and it was completely amazing
Absolutely fantastic! 🎸 🥁 💯
Once upon a time but with....DIRE STRAITS.....manner...yes....perhaps this team know perfectly what means that....its means....youthful....courage....love....bravery....and.....its simply our loose golden age....never return....thanks.
This song and the perfomance is so good that it actually makes me emotional of pure joy
Absolutely brilliant...love this song
We were so lucky to see them from the beginning
Man! Pick Withers was a great drummer...that fill he did in the beginning is a little different than the album, and the footwork on the bass drum looks really cool.
And the roll and cymbal crashes at the end of the song are so good!
M.N. Juste nous envole loin de ce monde impitoyable par son Talent ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
love this band. Complete package, something for all types.
I love this man 🎸🔥🔥
Oh yeah, once upon in Perú now! Dire Straits! 🙋🇵🇪
Possibly the greatest performance by a drummer ever!
I have to admit that this song is breathtaking! The performance on Alchemy is stunning!❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥🥁❤️🔥
Stunning 😍
My favourite soloing on the Alchemy album
@@TheHumbuckerboy I completely agree!! This performance is superb! Hurricane force!! Beautiful.🎶🌟🎸🌟🎶👍🙋♀️
I must admit the DS are not among my favourite bands, I mean I like very much the way MK plays and how he looks so humble in spite of being a legendary guitarist; but till now I only knew their hits such as 'Walk of Life', 'Money for Nothing' etc. This evening UA-cam has let me know this song and it's left me SPEECHLESS. Surely it'll get straight into my personal playlist! Thank you DS for such a work of art! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Check out Mark’s solo work too, a bit less guitar hero but very authentic.
LOLOLOL so you never heard Alchemy live?
@@2004lus No, I confess 😅
Fantastique, juste un son d une autre planète, reste abasourdi cet été 1978 en entendant « sultan of swing « sur la plage en Espagne ( Moraira)
On se réjouit de tout le plaisir qu'ils nous donnent. Wow
ALWAYS GREAT FROM THE BEGINNING TO TODAY. SO MUCH FEEL GOOD TALENT.
We are so lucky to be able to pull up performances like this to remind us of our divine selves.
This is the first LP that I bought. Circa 1983. Ur the best
The percussiveness in his playing is what gets me. The snapping of strings, ever so slight muting. The feel he plays with is evident!
❤🎸🌹💕 SO BEAUTIFUL, Thank you so much Dire Straits❤🎸🌹💕
What a groove. Love the drumming.
Que de l’Amour pour ce Groupe qui a tant de Talent, Inégalable !!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Legend group,love group,legend guitarist 🎵🎶🎸🎼✌️🍀👌
Yo descubrí a Mark Knopfler relativamente hace poco pero no me canso de escucharlo. Su voz es un susurro que me llega muy profundo. Es como si narrará la canción. Ningún artista me ha impresionado tanto como el❤❤❤❤
I brividi non mi danno tregua come la prima volta 🎉
My man!
❤❤❤❤che suono stupendo le sue manicantano insieme alla chitarra magico Mark❤
for me, '80 to '84 they were at their absolute best.
I'm a huge fan of Mark and all the band members to date.....but love the way they match their strats! Mark wore red a lot...I can't help wondering if he was matching with his beloved strat!
Dire straits talented n professional entertainers
Мені було років двадцять, коли почув цю пісню. Вона зі мною все життя.
A great compliment to the movie
Was Mark there?
Communique is my favourite Straits album. And this looked quite impressive on my 55inch Samsung. Cool 👍😎
This song is soooo fabulous!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Forty two years ago, I am still listening
Amazing ❤️ dS forever 🎸✨💯

Love the extended jam out…👍🎸❤️☮️

Un abrazo desde Santiago de Chile, tremenda Banda los Dire Straits!!!!!
Слушаешь как добрую сказку. За окном идёт дождь. В руках чашка чая с лимоном. Идеально
Oh. Un whisky. Du jus de citron. Trois glaçons. De l'eau et Rosa qui ronronne.
Oui, parfait.
Whoa- stunning delivery. Love it!!
