That part at 8:46 where, after that gorgeous, building, epic solo, after that entire anthemic masterpiece of a song, Mark gets ready to back out to showcase that so-pretty-you-could-cry piano, and just toggles 2 notes back and forth a couple times..... those simple notes never fail to give me goosebumps, decades after my first listen. Thank god I lived at the same time this existed.
So blessed to have seen them multiple times back in the day. I've seen a who's who of bands and artists from around 1979 on over the years in all kinds of genres and I've always said I'll put Dire Straits up against anyone. Phenomenal live band.
@@imgoodatmoaning9561 Thanks for your comment. It's only 2 years since he passed but we'd been together for 47 years since we were 14 and I can't get used to him not being there. They are happy tears that I shed. What a lovely caring person you are x
Carol, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s my favorite version of my favorite song. You may find it consoling to know that the reason Mark stopped playing this live was because it was his Dad’s favorite of his songs too; when his Dad passed he found it too difficult to play. All my best to you.
The guitar playing is fine, but the vocals are out of tune (especially in the first two verses) and the drumming isn't a patch on Pick Withers' whose rolls sound like thunder on the studio version and on this, they just sound like drum fills.
es la mejor version de todas las que he escuchado. el final es maravilloso, he llorado algunas veces oyendolo. Pero no he visto el video en youtube! porque no esta???
Heal the Guard - I think I know the version you refer to, was on TH-cam but got taken down (breach of copyright or something) - had the great sax intro. Been trying to find out what tour it was so I could get the DVD just for that one track. Any pointers would be truly appreciated.

One concert, one take, one album. In my opinion the best live album ever recorded.
Agree
Your not far wrong mate but everything knopfler does is pure class
Yep !
Uno dei migliori in assoluto, sicuramente.
Uno dei migliori di sicuro!
This was my late husband's favourite track. Always makes me shed a tear.
Carol Underwood always feel sad to read comments like yours even though I don’t you. Sending you my best wishes.

Carol Underwood thank you. 47 years! That is a great achievement and something to always be proud of.
My prayer with you. May you find strength.

This is the greatest recorded version of any song ever.
Can't explain how much I love this. This performance will forever be one of my favourite pieces of music.
Mine too
Ahh the memories, 'Alchemy Live' is my favourite album and I had the pleasure of being at the concert live. This track is just pure class.
Gordon Soans-Wade I’m jealous. If there’s one place I’d want to be it’s that concert
Wow, that truly is the most amazing album ever recorded, gives me goosebumps on goosebumps. Hope my Dad can still hear this in heaven.
Simon Lovett aww, I hope he can too.
How could he not. This is the stuff of angels.
It never fails to end too soon, and maybe that's the way it was intended
Se me ponen los pelos de punta cada vez que la escucho. GRACIAS MARK
Absolutely the hight of his powers here Mark....No one could touch him tbh
Mark Knopfler guitar solo almost makes me cry....

The very, very best. It has an energy and vitality that was never matched in any other live performance. The original and best!
The guitar playing is fine, but the vocals are out of tune (especially in the first two verses) and the drumming isn't a patch on Pick Withers' whose rolls sound like thunder on the studio version and on this, they just sound like drum fills.
Flawless!
