Arguably one of the best songs ever written.
No argument one of the best songs ever written and one of the best live performances ever.
I just love the change in tempo it all flows and to me it is a masterpiece so cleverly done so much has gone into it, I never tire of hearing this song. and all of Dire Straits music .
Not arguably, simply is one of the best ever
Musically..it is the finest song/ music ever written. Mark was / is a genius..and the other musicians are just the best....beautiful music.
@@samlawrence4670yes
there's another masterpiece: Private Investigations
My favorite
That is what they call talent.
My late dad took over teaching English from Mark Knopflier at a tough school in Loughton on the outskirts of London. In those day teachers just had to pass or fail their first year on their own. But Mark Knopflier regularly came in to help him, especially with the most difficult classes. Even thought he didn't have to, wasn't paid to.
My dad said he was hard to follow as he was so well like by the pupils, and such a good teacher.. In those days you couldn't buy teaching resources, you had to make them. He gave my dad his as he said he wasn't returning to teaching. And that Mark Knopflier was a kind and lovely man. .
Nice, very Nice. Good Times 👨🏫
Tunnel of love and Romeo and Juliet are also amazing. Glad you enjoyed.
Two very happy faces says it all. Thank you❤❤
The Telegraph Road is a major north-south 70 mile thoroughfare in Michigan. Mark Knopfler was inspired to write this song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road. At the time, Knopfler was reading the novel The Growth Of the Soil by the Nobel Prize winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun and he was inspired to put the 2 together and write a song about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades. This was a metaphor for the development of America and the ruining of one man's dreams in the wake of its decline, in particular focusing on unemployment. Now must listen Tunel of Love (wembley 1985), Brothers in Arms (one the night, 1992), Private Investigations (on the night). All live, DS must listen live versions
Spot on , marks writing is incredible, the musicianship is sublime
Telegraph Road is actually US Highway #24. It is a horrible road to travel. Traffic is always congested and nothing but blight and decay on either side. When it rains , it floods. Freezes in the winter and nothing but construction in the summer. I used to have to drive everyday. It was more stressful than my job. I am so glad those days are done.
The Tunnel of Love is about a fairground I used to go to as a kid called the Spanish City in Whitley Bay. They closed it for a long while but have now revamped it putting the lyrics to the song on the steps. I always wondered where the Telegraph Road came from as a younger man (before internet) and now I know, so thanks for that.
It's only the tip of the iceberg! Your never ending journey for Dire straits has just begun !
Dire Straits and the lead man Mark Knophler(the singer, song writer, lead Guitarist and the composer) is an Institution!
I'm 60 years old , it all began when I was 17.
Still my all time favorite group of musicians.
Every one of these guys are amazing
@@michellefranco5648 And I'm 62 now and my friendship with Dire Straits and Mark had started when I was 14 and the friendship is still on❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, Mark Knopfler just released his 10th solo album and also wrote the music for a few movies, like "The princess bride"
You guys mailed it - Telegraph Road is a m=masterpiece and is a better song that Sultans of Swing. I am a lifelong Dire Straits fan - first heard them in 1979 as a 15 year old. Telegraph Road is their best song - I was fortunate to see them 6 or 7 times, and then saw Mark Knopfler solo many times.
Sometime it is 😊 but we don't always have 14min to listen 😢. So saltans is 😃
It's kinda a opinion there my friend and I strongly disagree. Brother in arms is well above this one in my opinion. Dire straits has so many great songs It's to hard for me to narrow it down to a favorite.
Also consider Brothers in Arms as their pinnacle!
Love over Gold is a severely underrated (and almost forgotten) album. I would contend that both Telegraph Road and Industrial Disease are better songs than Sultans.
@@jeremyhitchcock9182 - Brothers in Arms is a great song as well - totally agree. It gives a different feeling, not saying better or worse, just different.
This is my all time favourite track and performance of Dire Straits. Awesome ❤❤❤
Telegraph Road is a masterpiece, and that's probably the best live version out there. The entire band were incredible on the Alchemy Tour. The pianist, Alan Clark, really delivered a phenomenal performance. Glad you guys enjoyed it, this is one of my favourite songs of all time. The lyrics and composition are genius. Mark Knopfler, too, is a musical genius.
You have absolutely right, Alan Clark brings so much emotion to songs and the way he plays is unique. Especially on this song it is pretty much a dialogue between guitar and piano. Other song where I love Alans performance and contribution is Romeo & Juliet, especially live On the Night 1992 version. I’m so happy that I had the chance to hear band live in Helsinki on their final tour 1992.
Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms…
Rumour has it the drum kit was carried out on a stetcher and on life support! Such a flawless performance, a true masterpiece. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Life support failed. It was (briefly) buried in Pant Cemetary! Check the history of Pant at the time!
😅😅😅
Mark Knopfler narrates the story and his guitar sings it. The Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler music is the best.
It's absolutely wonderful that such young people are so surprised and smiling. Your reactions are wonderful, THANK-YOU ❤
One of the best songs ever written. From the music to the lyrics a masterpiece. I heard it when it came out ( yes, I'm that old ) and I still know the lyrics by heat.
Have you both heard Brothers in Arms ? This really hits your soul
Great reaction you two, for me there's nothing better than watching you youngsters transfixed by master musicians..oh and don't worry about feeling like crying, most people do.
Dire straits Tunnel of love Alchemy live ❤
Wembley 1985 is even better th-cam.com/video/6rlk34NuIoI/w-d-xo.html
Have you seen Wembley 1985? More polished version and arrangement.
You must have listened to 👂 and watched it.
@@dg76 Its excellent but I prefer the Alchemy version.
I actually prefer the Wembley performance for Tunnel of Love than Alchemy
Hey guys ! My favourite track from the album Love over Gold is Private Investigations , in my opinion , it's a masterpiece , Worth listening to with your eyes closed .
Great reaction !
Agreed. That was my favourite lp for a long time.
Nice to see your smiles at the end of this groovie song..... Thats what Dire Straits do to people.... 😀
Musicians playing 'effortlessly' just show they are masters of their craft - these guys know music and musical storytelling.
Hands down the best outro in rocknroll
You're not the only people who feel very emotional listening to this. It hits me the same and I've been listening to it for 40 years!
It hits you in the heart and soul. And you're right that it's as relevant and relatable now as it was then.
So glad you enjoyed it ❤❤
The masters of story telling, Mark is a modern day minstrel. Fantastically written magnificently played, totally involving master class.
Dire Straits doesn't sound like anyone, and no one sounds like Dire Straits. Beautiful musicianship.
I try,but I can't really imagine what it would have been like to be there and see this EPIC moment of musical magic live ! Marks fingers are just magical to pick the strings as he does!❤ ABSOLUTELY unbelievable!😂
I was walking up to Eldon Square in Newcastle, in 1978, heard the Sultans of Swing as a 13 year old, and was so blown away. I went into the record shop and bought the single... Hooked ever since. The Telegraph Road, and the Love Over Gold album is my favourite. I know Making Movies was in-between with the brilliant Romeo and Juliet, Skate away, and Tunnel of Love. The fact they sing so many songs about the place I am from makes it more relatable, and for all of you who don't know these places, you should research them or better still visit them. I love to sit on the steps of the Spanish City in Whitley Bay listening to the Tunnel of Love with the lyrics literally sat beside me, it's a great way to lose yourself for a little while.
After I bought the Love Over Gold album, this was the first track. When it was over, I thought Holy...., what did I just hear? I had to move the needle back and play it again before I could listen to the rest of the album. Not many songs hit you that way
Ditto !
Once you're a Dire Straits fan your a fan for life. There's something about their music that takes you places. Genius ❤❤❤
I totally agree. Had their first album on 8 track and here I am!
Love seeing folks new to this grow smiles as this song unfolds in all its beauty and incredible musicianship. It feels like welcoming others to the ride! Love that you loved it.
Really enjoyed your two Dire Straits reactions, glad I found you.
Thank you guys for your reaction. Telegraph Road Is a masterpiece of rock .i sow your emotions,evry time i go in paradise with the Guitar of Mark .
I got to see Mark play a solo show in Indy about 20 years ago. It was magnificent.
I adore this band! For me this is their masterpiece. Creates pockets of music, the story telling, the journey... Classic Mark!
What an angel Carol is,you are a very lucky guy.
Truly, it's a rare gem, a pure classic. An ultimate composition. Loved your reaction.
🇨🇦 In my humble opinion, the Best music created, written or sung in the last Century, was performed between 1959 and 1989 ! This was 1982 ! 🇨🇦
Agreed. it's almost like we reached our peak, took it all for granted and let it all fall apart!
Good Times 🎸🎶
Great reaction! The great blond American guitarist, Hal Lindes, left the band a year later to dedicate himself to being a film score composer. About 8 years later he had a daughter who became a top model.
Simphony and poetry 🎸🎶🎵🇧🇷
Carol,,,you said everything about this song, you didn't just take it as a "song", you understood the composition to it and explained your emotions truthfully,,,well done you, your both top class reactors and have my like, and sub. God bless you both. ❤ 👏
Once Upon A Time In The West
Romeo And Juliet
The Walk Of Life
So many more
I agree with all the comments - what a song, and what a delivery by the band! I haven't heard Telegraph Road in decades, but the storytelling lyrics, the mix of melancholy and exhilaration, the layering of instruments, the changes of pace, are just wonderful.
Ive heard that song live 100 times,never ceases to amaze
Man , this band was absolutly fantastique
I had a feeling you might like that one!
:o... I thought you'd never do it. ❤🔥 TY guys
I don't find it in art, literature or mathematics. I only find it in music. It is these vibrations and frequencies that can only be expressed with music.
I concur.
Everyone praises Mark Knopfler on guitar and Terry Williams on drums (and rightly so), but let's hear it for Alan Clark on keys and piano. He's the unsung hero of this song and others such as Tunnel of Love.
The orchestration of these songs is superb, particularly the interplay between guitar and piano. Mark just hands over some of the most important melodic lines to Alan and he carries the whole song at these points.
This is a masterclass on how musicians should play together in band...
Amazing performance! Thanks guys big fan awesome reaction as usual!
Yes more dire strsights
All of the Dire Straits songs are stories. Some personal, most true. Sultans of swing was one such. This song came while on tour. Mark Knopfler was reading a book (I forgot the title but someone will know) on the tour bus crossing the USA, and thinking about the rise and fall of things as society develops. Et Voila. One of the great story songs, and arguably their best recorded live performance. Tunnel of love if you get the right version is great too. Largely autobiographical, and talks about places he'd known then. In the stone steps outside of the Spanish city (a building in the north east of England) a line from the song is etched. A love story of sorts, and homage to his past, even down to the use of the Carousel Waltz as an Introduction. Romeo and Juliet is a great song too, and Brothers in arms, Walk of Life, and all of them really. Great reaction, good to see the love of things artfully rendered. Hope you, family friends and all who drop by here, are, and remain well.
Just another walk in the park for Mark as he nonchalantly melts your face off and finger picks the F out of his guitar!
I'm 59 years old, I grew up with Dire Straits and other bands of that time
I won't write anything more
I love your reactions
I cried
'Telegraph Road' is a fabulous track off their amazing 4th album, 'Love Over Gold' released in 1982. If you sit and listen to it all the way through, you immerse yourself in a quality musical experience. There's only 5 tracks, but it's an amazing 40 mins.
I know I've already said that several times, but I'm so happy to see young people discovering these masterpieces from Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Supertramp etc... perfect music, awesome guitar/piano/drums/.../... skills , and meaningful lyrics 👍🤩
And I love your reactions 😊
Mi banda preferida, mi guitarrista preferido.. y una obra maestra de esta increíble banda.. una leyenda y una de las mejores de todos los tiempos.. la voz de Mark siempre es como un instrumento diferente que la hace única..
Gracias por difundir esta genial banda a las nuevas generaciones que no tuvieron la suerte de vivir los inigualables 80s ..
Por último, les recomiendo escuchar de este mismo concierto el tema.. TUNNEL OF LOVE... masterpiece..
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Tunnel of Love, also from Alchemy. Pure genius
What a brilliant song, they have so many great one's 👍👍
Sheer brilliance!!!!!
Sultans of Swing is your favourite meal. Telegraph Road is your favourite restaurant.
Wonderful appraisal you made of this fantastic composition by Mark Knopfler
Wait for it!
The first time hearing that song is a life changer
Tunnel of love from Wembley 1985 classic Dire straits ❤
Yes indeed this is on another level absolute magic !
You can tell by their faces as they played together towards the end that they knew they'd pulled off something very special. .. incredible concert. Was privileged to see them live and Mark Knopfler solo a few times. Great reaction guys
Quality,nuff said,great reaction 👍🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️
Simply incredible, after nearly 40 years I still get goosebumps
At their very, very best.
Best song ever 👍👍 They have so many though.Romeo and Juliet live 👍
Love the reaction
One of the best live albums in rock and easily one of the best live shows.
This is from a great album called "Love Over Gold" which features two of my favorite lines in music 1) From "Industrial Disease" - "Two men say they are Jesus, one of them must be wrong" and 2) From "It Never Rains" - "Oh, but it's a sad reminder
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent"
Mark Knopfler is such a good lyricist to compliment his amazing guitar skills.
Es musica atemporal. A mi sigue emocionandome !!! Y me alegra que a vosotros también.
Elie and Carol, your enthrallment with the music, so freely shown and expressed, bring an even more beautiful dimension to the experience. Thanks for that!
I just love those long jams that never seem to end 😅😊
awesome, love you guys
TUNNEL OF LOVE ALCHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was inspired to write this song by travelling down an actual road called Telegraph Road which runs through Detroit in the USA
I'm with you , this one is up there .
Another great reaction.😃😃
Great reaction...I grew up with this music....They have many more...good luck..🥰
First... Love you guys, all reactions. Now... this is THE BEST DIRE STRAITS SONG. The story-telling, the subtlety, the transitions, the artistry, the band-members' individual performances. It's a rhapsody, is just superb. Of course I love the other tracks (Romeo & Juliet, Sultans, Tunnel, funny-enough, not-so-much Brother in Arms) but this is THE ONE.
Such a great version.
Passion, joy and talent. The "Love over Gold" album is one of my favorite 80s records and still on my Spotify playlist. Great choice - guys...Cheers
My sister had this record, I was 12 and listened to side A before going to sleep, this is magic, such a great song and band, and record. Love over gold is the name of the album
Damn you appreciated it more than me!
Mark Knopfler, Lead guitar
Hal Lindes, Rhythm guitar
John Illsey, Bass guitar
Terry Williams, Drums
Alan Clark, Keys
And for these shows July 1983 additional guest keys, Tommy Mandel.
And all of them the best of the best and possibly the best line up of live musicians of any band
Excellent reaction 👍🏻
What a fabulous choice of song to react to guys. Legendary song and insanely great live performance. I highly recommend you continue with the live performance of Private Investigations from the same concert. Can’t wait!! Great reaction guys.
One of their longest tracks and a really good one. From the same studio album Love over Gold 'Private Investigations' is another great track-Colin Ward
I just subscribed to your channel. Good reactions guys🤟
Mark Knopfler is still singing, playing and composing music. He has just put out a new album in the last couple of months. Please keep going through both Dire Straits and Mark's solo catalogues. If you want another banger, check out Industrial Disease...
Beautiful song...I saw it live in Manchester
Nothing great about growing old except i am old enough to have seen them live on a few occasions never forget how good they really were.
Great reaction. Let your emotions flow up👍❤️
Ed è bellissimo dopo tanti anni sentire una ragazza che dice "Telegraph road è la canzone più bella che abbia mai sentito!"
Hey guys just loving your reactions to my favorite band and artist Mark Knopfler. I really recommend the song Brothers In Arms from the performance Dire Straits Live " On The Night" 1993. Every reactor I've seen said it had a massive impact on them and it's hard not to cry on this one. This time he uses a Pensa guitar that goes right through your body. Anyway Cheers and all the best from Australia
👍🎸🎸🎸
I recommend Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Live (On the Night 1993). It's really nice to see you reacting to songs like this. Big respect for both of you 😉
Yes it is a Masterpiece.
The story of what we call progress , and moves through religion, law, and war. Unfortunately we then see the demise of society , no work, and business closed , leaving people in a pit of despair.
This has become my number one song of all time as it tells a vivid story of what is happening in our world through greed.
As a fan of 60s music, Beatles, Stones etc this song took story telling with masterful musianship to another level and this is LIVE.
Absolutely incredible.
Every time I watch this I cannot believe the talent that is there before me.
EPIC is the right call on this.
Yes I take the point regarding you hit the height , but don't forget The Beatles wrote some brilliant music but this track is another level.
Brothers and Arms and Romeo and Juliet are 2 other great tracks.
Loved your reaction, thank you.
