Probably watched this 30 or 40 times.. Never gets old.
Found this going down a musical rabbit hole, just now. Great cover of this tune. That bass note drop at the 4:00 mark rattled my core.
Tommy improvising that solo @ 2:48 with his eyes closed amazing
Well it been about 60 times now. Still one of greatest live covers ever.
@@willb6442 I agree. Probably the best live improv ever..He’s utterly amazing.
I couldn’t agree more! Love this this version of probably my most favourite song of all time
Mind Blowing
How many of you have seen it several times ?
Multiple times
Yash G 8 times
@@simonth9626 Tooooo many times....
Hundreds cant get enough of it.
Many many times.. 👏👏
They know all the chords
Yo digo que saben kungfu
😆😆👍
😂son unos monstruos!
LOL
🤣🤣🤣You are the master of understatement.
You could sure tell they are having fun playing together.
One thing that has always deeply impressed me about Tommy Emanuel is his total egoless appreciation of other musicians so evolved and mature. Very, very, very few musicians are that secure in themselves
He seeks them out like a Greek language Scholar seeks compatriots to share and savor the nuance of the language with .. Purely for the joy of the experience..
He implies ideas are best shared.
@@Divocwax lest they be of no purpose..
Yeah, and he's the big swingin' d!@k in the locker room. He's an amazing ambassador for the art of music. Does meet and greets before shows. Brings kids up on stage to play often. I think he's officially Billy String's uncle now. Great all around guy.
could not agrer more,bro
Pedro is from Spain, John is from USA, Tommy is from Australia
this masterpiece rendition is a marvelous proof for "The only best language in the world is music" :D
oh... let's not forget about the excellent bassist and percussionist from Pedro Trio Band :D
Amen! (to both of your statements!)
Wagmore Barkless
your comment is wonderful, but i just have to say that both australia and america speak english
Thanh Huynh YESSSSS!!!! =)
When it’s my time to go, I want to go, wherever it is, listening to this song and this version…
Can we all appreciate the bass guy, he is killing it
"INDEED"give credit where credit is due ! ! 💋
And the drummer / percussionist.
A free form jazz odyssey in front of a festival crowd?
Eso mismo! Y el bajista?! Ni siquiera lo enfocaron una sola vez y es un hacha el tipo, parece un metrónomo.
Hell yeah!!!
I have watched this possibly 100 times. I am a bedroom vanity guitar player. Been playing for 50 years but I am not talented. So for me I just love the masters at work. I think that in order to appreciate genius you have to understand what players like this are doing. They are doing it.
Agreed. Guitarist to guitarist actually see/know/feel what’s happening even if they can’t replicate it. I wish the music flowed this easily out of me...
Tommy, John & Pedro sound incredible but... listen closely...... that bass player is absolutely killing it! awesome!
Correct, very smooth, I often watch it 4/5 times in a row! Timeless, with three totally different techniques that, for the most part ( take the ego's out towards the end), blend flawlessly.
My soul and ears are grateful to this 3 super talented artists for melting together in a sublime way
This video never fails to impress me - Pedro is definitely in the driver's seat - he sets the tone and the meter. Tommy kicks in with some rhythm, John kicks in with a beautifully light instrumental, after that, Pedro and Tommy take turns with the lead, and then all three join in with a powerful rhythm to finish the song. It is interesting to note that Pedro is actually communicating visually with Tommy - they evidently have some sort of system - it appears to be almost telepathic. Any any rate, the musicians quickly pick up on each other's cues. This is the mark of a true musician. This is the definitive version of Sultans of Swing. Thanks!
But that Tommy's lead... He made his guitar give it's best. Magic.
I feel sorry saying so, but I do not like the way Pedro plays.
@@mailander2911 Well, I can't say that I don't like the way Pedro plays; he is a master of his craft. But I do get a very different sense from Tommy and JJ in the way they view their contributions to the whole. Maybe that's because I know them; I don't know Pedro. I do know that Tommy and JJ are always mindful of supporting their co-performers, and that's very evident in this masterpiece.
С моим английским языком, я понял, что с Вами я не согласен! но возражать не буду!
The bassist deserves some love as well. Sounds awesome!
haha
brett neuberger tommy probably is doing that too😂
brett neuberger : Can you help me, what’s the instrument sounds like piano in background @2.30...
&& $$ tu tu tu tu ....

Baller Simpson : I don’t think this is from Pedro ?? Do you.
Amazing performance by all five musicians! This performance also underscores Mark Knopfler's genius as a guitarist/composer - Each of these three master guitarists have their unique touch and tone,but they all stay close to the original structure of the tune. Almost all the melodic figures/riffs (even a lot of the little grace notes) can be heard on the original Dire Straits version. Even though the lyrics to the song are great too, Sultans has become an instrumental classic that stands well on the music alone. This one is a fantastic example!
Well said!
Steve Armstrong Thank you!
Yes, very well said. You summed up very eloquently my thoughts. I'm a huge fan of Mark and of Tommy. Pedro and his musicians are now on my radar too but this was just outstanding.
abztractbeats Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback! This is a real gem of of a video, and like you, it really put Gonzalez and Jorgenson on my radar. The two sidemen were amazing as well (percussion & bass).
That percussion and bass was done so softly and beautifully... and complemented these two brilliant guitarists... I suspect we'll never run out of such brilliance... there are others using finger style playing.. but this was? Pure class
It’s magic when the players really get into it. The smiles on their faces and the pure energy and enjoyment- PRICELESS ‼️ Outstanding performance ‼️☮️
It's really the best thing about playing music... the timeless grooves you share with your bandmates and audience. There's just nothing in the world like that.
This is a truly stunning interpretation of Mark Knopfler's masterpiece.
These are the SULTANS!
musical ambassadors of their countries and are of the highest caliber.
Years of dedication.
Yes sir
One spanish guitar player and one player that later years play gipsy guitar and one that can play it all... Pure joy!
Tommy Emmanuel is absolutely amazing! How humble he is and such fun to play, like a boy that just owned his first guitar. It will be a dream to watch Tommy and MK playing together
10 years ago but, how fucken good was this!!!!
Hey, who are here, December 2019? Tommy is the best acoustic guitar player ever!!!
Hi Roman. I'm here on December 26, 2019. Tommy's pretty special but naming the "best ever" is a tough call. So many fab guitarists over so many decades, picking just one ... I admit I'm old but I couldn't pick just one! xx
I might cite mr Steve Vai close to original: Tommy Emmanuel is not the future of guitar playing because even in the future I don't think people are going to be able to play like him.
I'm here January 1st 2020
Here January 2021... Mark Knopfler remains the Sultan of all sultans of swing 😉
7 million views ... I've listened to this at least 50000 times. And i'll never get enough of it.
Pedro Javier amazing!!
The Spanish guitar playing come from the sadness that there people went through.
That's the difference between him & Tommy
Make no mistake Tommy is one off the best in world. I had the privilege of meeting Tommy @ the Sydney Harbour side brasserie. You cannot beat that Spanish sound!!! The guitar was born in Spain &
It's sound was from their pain. God bless Spain.
Saw Tommy Emmanuel earlier this year. Fantastic
Around the 7:00 mark is where you see three seasoned veterans having fun like they just simultaneously nailed their first solo at age 9 in the garage with their buddies. Incredible.
Die 3 sind in dieser Zeit in ihrer eigenen Welt. Sie nehmen nichts mehr um sich wahr. Fantastisch. :)
@@rolandkeina239 ich bin begeistert! 😍
...around all video mark is everywhere, mark knopfler
Sultans of Swing is a masterpiece in it's own, and this is a great acknowledgment of the song by Dire Straits.
A joy to watch Pedro and Tommy play together. And Nick Nolte did well on the strat too.
I think it’s Alexi Lalas, without the ball of course.
Loved Sultans all my life and seen many great versions of it... but I was today years old when I found this one and have to say, it's the best. Truly amazing.
Lesson in life: do what you love, love what you do, and enjoy who you do it with. Look at these guys. This was no mechanical performance. It was pure joy.
If I had to choose one song and only one song to listen to the rest of my life, this would be it. And this would be the version. Truly magical. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Shally
2 more great songs, setting me up & sweet surrender
👌👌👌
Absolutely amazing performance
The absolute best version my ears have ever heard❤ I have watched this several times and it will never go old❤
El toque de la guitarra flamenco es formidable!! 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant interpretation of one of the greatest rock guitar songs. Pure joy.
Respect to the percussionist too, he kept it together very well. Stellar performances on guitar and wonderful bass too.
Agreed. And he didn't even get a credit.
Only God knows how many times I've watched this.
Props to rest of the crew as well, the bass player and percussionist especially
Tommy's soul literally runs through his fingertips into his guitar and back again!!! Incredible player.
He can play that guitar just like a ringin a bell
I love 3 grown men being so playful and yet so focused! Tells me more than a thousand words!
I’m overwhelmed and on my knees every time I come back to this .. much gratitude to the composer, the musicians, the video clip and the post (🙏🏽) and all those who have appreciated this absolute gem ✨
I love Tommy! Wow! One can feel his passion with every guitar play. So much talent on one stage!!!
The joy on their faces while playing is priceless!
I'm one of those guys who laughs when he bubbles over with joy. This quintet's musical, magical gift made me burst into laughter throughout this 7-minute joyride.
Well, every time I'm watching it made me burst into laughter because I know I can't be so good in 1B. years!!!
Im the same i burst out laughing at unbelievable guitarists most of the time its Django who has me laughing the loudest
My gosh the energy around them is amazing! True masters of their craft!
These gentlemen soothed me like nothing else could lately. They are phenomenal. Their band will be played in my house for years to come.
Tommy.... Always full of emotion....
Yakaladım seni Evren Başkan! 😎
Selim Bulgan ben kaçıyomuydum ki hacı cav cav
The three of them harmonizing is absolutely mind-blowing.
Besides the amazing performance of this great song, I love the facial expressions of Pedro González!
And the bass player tucked over on stage right holding the floor down like a boss!
(Just keep it together and no one will know you don't belong here) - me when my version of these things happen.
If you've never seen Tommy Emmanuel play live you owe it to yourself to go to his website, find a venue and go see him play. This might be the best thing ever on TH-cam.
Tom Sturgis I have seen him a few years ago in Vancouver and he was truly amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
I've never seen someone preform so passionately. He waited and met everyone and was so polite and kind. Always smaller venues and cheap tickets. What a true legend
I've watched this countless times...I even hear this in my sleep.. I am so totally speechless at this level of perfection. This goes beyond music that you listen to...This is music you feel.
Sultans of Swing, specifically the version from Alchemy, is my favourite song of all time. This. Was. Astonishing.
I never thought anyone could cover that version (studio version is another story) and do it justice, but here we are.
The obvious joy all three of them are feeling comes through in the music. Beautiful, happy, joyous (and technically ridiculously skilled) playing. Thank you for posting.
Mark would smile wide listen to this guys.
he must proud too.
seriously one of the best jams I've ever seen in my life. heavenly.
Extraordinaire. Love to watch the nonverbal communication between the musicians. They all recognize they are among their peers!
Absolutely amazing
Two of the very best guitar players on earth. I say two, because I'm totally sure that Tommy Emmanuel is from a different planet 🙂
Chet atkins Knew it.
Thanks Mark Knopfler for such an amazing song,Masterpiece!
Jorgenson has killer tone.
Just like Mark Knopfler 👍
This is about the 110,000th time I have listened to this. Admittedly, it's now starting to wear somewhat thin.
Obsessed. Probably the best thing I’ve ever heard and best performance to watch. Never fails to raise my mood!
Who would love to see Mr. Knopfler fitting something in here?
Definitely I would ;one of my favorite guitarists....
that will be epic
Well,he did write it.Must count for something!
Mr. K was the fourth man in the fire here, since he wrote the song.
'Step right up to the microphne'
Jolted out of everyday mediocrity, enthralled by the brilliance of these three musicians playing against, yet with each other, that for a moment, I felt I was a part of the magic that they were creating. Surely it doesn't get much better than this.
Edward Barber I felt the same way. Especially around dhe middle and end!
There in lies their genius. To make you feel part of it.
Amen brother.
Excellent take.
They are all mesmerizing to watch and they are not trying to outdo each other. However Emmanuel is extraordinary and is the obvious amongst these equals. I just keep replaying it and never tire of it. Beautiful performance. And complete acknowledgement to Mark Knopfler for this brilliant piece of music
Probably the most versatile piece of music written, played by the most versatile musicians? Excepting the originator! Great stuff.
There ain't gonna be another performance as awesome as this on this particular song... What an incredible undertaking and breathtaking performance it was! Simply outstanding! Bravo legends!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Dude, you're goddamn right! Been saying this for years! 5 to be exact & I still can't get enough of this performance & it never ceases to blow me away every time even having seen/heard it probably 10,000+ times
Yes, especially since today's auto-tune generation doesn't even know what a guitar is.
AMEN! Aside from the NEARLY ORGASMIC sound, what an utterly beautiful execution PURE PERFECTION

"We are the Sultans.
We are the Sultans of Swing."
We're lucky to have been born to watch their playing in our life.
I've watched this 100 times I never tire of this trio. They dance so well together. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think you three just received a huge standing ovation from around the world. Great performance 💕👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸. Loved every part of it, this is definitely a keeper to watch over and over again.
WOW! To play such electric lead guitar runs with THAT accuracy, speed and tempo on an ACOUSTIC, shows just how excellent guitarists these men are. Tommy has more facility, as he plays this style more often, but Pedro as a trained classical guitarist, shows just how much skill he has as well. Such a wonderful surprise; AND has me appreciating the tune even more. How much were THEY enjoying it?
Pedro really is amazing~ the classical training really does cut a lot of unnecessary movement
Tommy reminds me of Gary Moore, so much energy, like a racehorse waiting for the gates to open, all three of great players, i'm gobsmacked, thank you whoever put this on line.
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Tommy Emmanuel live. An incredible guitarist. 👍👍👍👍
That performance brought tears to my eyes
wow, what a jam! That is what music is about!
+Greg Pett not just music, but life!
THEY ARE AWESOME / PERIOD !
I e been in the music industry for over 20 years doing security . I've seen many musical acts . Huge names and unknowns. But this is by far my most favorite part of this industry. Legendary music performed by other legendary musicians with their own flair. SO SWEET IT IS !!!! BRAVO TO THEM.
Three guitar geniuses having a BLAST, getting to playfully “show off” for each other AND a lucky audience!
Seven minutes of pure happiness! I want to experience this live!
My apologies..7 minutes and 40 seconds! :)
Nope! 7 minutes and 38 seconds. ;)
I want to play this live 🤐
😂 I'm a simple man. I like when I see tommy😂😂
ОХЕРЕТЬ...
THE THREE BREEDS OF GUITAR UNITED
The Tender tone of Classical
The Limitless Acoustic
The Cries of the Electric
God bless
Three absolute MASTERS pushing each other in that rarified air that borders on the Divine.
One can’t but recognize the magic they brought in that performance. It’s not just that they are masters technically, but they together elevate the song and each other. Thank you ❤
Tommy is so generous here letting the other players shine ..he is really the child genius he always was....I met the guy once in Western Australia late one night. I said "I love you man" and held out my hand ...he shook it and said " I love you too man." I said..'no dude...you are a genius...you are a freak.." he laughed and we parted ways.. He has ALWAYS been able to listen to a piece of music and then play it perfectly, immediately after hearing it..he has been able to do this since the age of 9yrs....the guy is a Guitar Beethoven.
Pedro looks so cool playing....no stress.......beautiful music....
Clearly one of my favorite TH-cam-clips! Imagine no less than 3 super-guitarists playing a song made by another great guitarist!! Lots of LOVE going on here!!
Loved it
Two years ago, you asked how many have seen this video multiple times. Love to see you still coming back to this masterpiece
@@poroudez Yes...it's a masterpiece indeed :)
เกินมนุษย์ทั่วไปจะทำได้
I've listened to this video about 2 dozen times and I still get the same amout of enjoyment out if it as I did the first time 😁
What a chemistry between them and what a version! I remember seeing it two years ago and it doesn't get worse - it only gets better. Simply amazing.
This has got to be the most epic acoustic guitar jam of all time
Tommy makes it exciting because he enjoys every second and draws everyone in as well
Not only these masters play amazingly well, it's also really delightful to see how they are enjoying theirselves, especially Tommy!
Exactly!
Yea, Tommy is such a trip. He can't contain himself. The energy he has and how passionate he plays! Incredible.
All incredible musicians. Tommy is another level.
Rubbish.
Soooooo beautiful,,, every time I watch and listen,, I start to tear up ... Mark Knopfler surely didn’t know what kind of impact this song would have ,, with so many variations and styles of instrumentation,,, amazing to say one least
Much Appreciation to Mr Knopfler for the amazing song. Wonderful Performance.
Thank you, Lord for awesome old men who have dedicated their lives to their passions. And thank you for computers, and QSC amps and JBL speakers, and a little time to listen.
+John Paul Jones Amen!
JBL ? John Bradshaw
+Desi guy JBL speakers (brand name)
+John Paul Jones Thank you for JPJ
James B. Lansing
As with every musician, you will not have too many times that, you experience a "sweet spot" in a session. These guys had it through the whole presentation.
Genuine guitar masters!
They surely play above the rest!
I got to see and hear Tommy at walnut valley festival in winfield ks several years ago. Made me love the music. Now work there.
Well see... now I have to sit here and just watch this for the rest of my life! What an amazing celebration of music. Perfect balance and amazingly sensitive ensemble playing by ALL of the musicians! There were no egos proving who was the best - the music was the best - and my goodness did these wonderful musicians serve that music beautifully! I could watch this 10 more times in a row... in fact I think I might just go ahead and do that!
Слава Богу за таких гитаристов, просто цепляет их исполнение, браво!!!
Слава богу хоть один русский коммент!
alex bushuikin Поздрав из Србије
это рвет мозг они аждый по своему играют но будто всю жизнь сыгрывались
One of my favourit songs by those guys. Thank you. Far too kind. Saved it up for friday nite.
This evokes such feelings of joy at the wonderful interplay between these great musicians and their appreciation of each other Wor thy of many replays..
