@@nathanwhitten8950 Totally agree. I still remember when I first listened to it back in 2002 or so when RPD came out, and after the fade out the only thing on my mind was: "damn this will be good live". I was so sad when he didn't play it at first, but I'm glad he changed his mind. To anyone who hasn't: check out the Music Banks London extended version from the Privateering Deluxe edition, it's awesome.
This is the perfect version of this song, Mark's outro blows the pants off anyone and that Les Paul needs a smoke and a beer to cool down. Pure perfection, a masterpiece!
Брат,я не могу каждую песню переводить к сожалению (!!! Мне даже музыки хватает...Ты тоже не всего Чехова же читал...,а фильм может смотрел..С Кеану Ривзом,про ограбление банка
He's simply brilliant. I've come to think that the statement you made is not a conscious effort on his part. I believe it is an innate ability. The music flows from his soul and directly through his fingers. An unobstructed pathway. And in that, he allows us to be privy to that most personal part of himself.....the emotion. If he only performed in this fashion on occasion, I wouldn't say that. But he never fails to move me, as I know he does many others or give me the ability to get lost in his music. And one of the best parts of all of this is that he is so "Humble" with respects to the true talent he possesses. And for many years, it's in his music that I find my soft place to fall when I feel the need to do so. For me, his music is warm, welcoming arms. Now, should I tell you how I REALLY feel about this man.....lol!
Hill Farmer's Blues is the song I pick when I need to get started on a big task. I love the change in the song when sings "Going into Tow Law | To fuel my fire". Over the years Mark Knopfler's songs have become more distinct and subtle.
I've listened to this hundreds of time, this exact version, and I hear a different layer each time. The background in the first half sounds like a slowly building thunderstorm that you barely notice, then when you do, it just makes it so much richer. Pure genius.
I simply love this man for his talent, intelligence, creativity and sheer musical genius. Over the decades, he has sacrificed a great deal of his life that could have been spent with his family and friends, so that he could share his music with us. He could have retired on top with "Dire Straits" but chose to continue sharing his music with his fans around the world. In doing so, he brought some of the most beautiful sound into our lives.This probably sounds corny to most people, but I truly believe music is a powerful thing that enhances and enrichens our lives, can touch our emotions, heals the soul and it has the amazing ability to be the caretaker of our most treasured memories. How does one thank someone for giving us such a gift?
Miss great comment, I share your passion, wonderful words, there are some of us MK die hards from the early DS day to now, you are right he brings us to much joy at his expense, to you Richard Gamble, Simona, Luciana, Nasro, Carol Spencer, Patrice, Amanda Walker, I wish we could all meet up for an MK concert, it is in my bucket list, to all of you best wushes, lot"s of kisses and let's keep the MK faith
Miss, I listen to his music every day, it brings me calm and peace to what I have in store as an IBM Senior Manager, the lyrics and that guitar playing give me strength, I have it on my USB stick in my BMW, I'm seen humming the melody, my colleagues think I'm nuts, but I'm not,
Peter West PS I Think this song is a musical master piece, as is the live versions, of Privateering, I Dug A Diamond, Kingdom Of Gold, and Boom like that, and...........all the live DS stuff
A superlative summary of Mr. MK. Could not have said it better. I just don't get how he seems to be the Rodney Dangerfield (no respect) of music. His core fans are dedicated, but he just doesn't seem to have mass appeal he so richly deserves. MK is the music of my life, and will not miss an opportunity to see him if possible.
Mark Knopfler lends nobility to the human race with an electric guitar...his art...his grace...his humble voice finds a profound place...we are in "Dire Straits" as a a human race...his words find higher meaning....
Miguel A. Thank you and your excellent mobile phone for allowing me an ancient lady now to see this wonderful video. Mark truly is a GENIUS. Keep up the good work 😀
@OfficialMarkKnopflerChannel You've already tried this once, and I've answered, please go away and find someone else to try it on. What's the weather like in Nigeria? Byeeeeeeeeeeeee
Disregard them. Brilliant music requires brilliant minds to understand it. Those who can’t appreciate nuance will never get it. Anyone can make noise, it takes talent to create music and it takes a connesurier to enjoy it.
One of the great aspects of having such amazing talent is that you're able to attract an amazing group of musicians to play with you. What a fantastic performance!
I think youre right and its not only this concert in cordoba but the whole tour he was on fire, i know because i downloaded every soundboard recording that came online. 2010 was the pinnacle of his soloyears
MK is the greatest ever. Enjoy his music everyday. He is so very very talented. Best guitarist for sure. Loved him with Dire Strait This is one of my favorite songs. Hill Farmers Blues. No one can ever teplace you in the music industry. God blessed you with a beautiful voice indeed. There is only one Mark Knopfler.
what cant this man do? I am late to the party with Mark but what a true genius he is. It is all that I listen to now. Saw him in concert in LA, blown away. He is a maestro in all he touches.
@@beth12svist That's what Mark says. Glenn Worff confirmed in a interview that Mark says that, but he also said that Mark can also play bass with no problem at all.
This masterpiece should have more views than 171 thousand, come on all you MK/DS fans click on the link and spread the word . MK is the master guitarist which we all worship
Hard to say a guy that has sold as many records internationally is underrated but there is no musician in the world that plays a guitar sounding anything like this. I've been fortunate enough to see him live about 10 times and this group of world class musicians play soul touching songs over and over again. Knopfler is a genius you need to see live before he's too old to care about touring.
Great comment John, embarrassed I'v only seen 4 shows all Dublin 91/96 the show with Emmy and last one with Dylan, I'm amazed he never released Box sets of all the great tours Get Lucky Privateering and Down the Road....Blu ray especially 💎 I'd buy em all☘️🎸👍
This great song is too simply too short on the album, never understood why it fades out so quickly. And here we are years later and finally I found out I can listen to the complete song as I always imagined it should be... Not sure why it took me so long. Thanks for the upload!
Mark Knopfler is the definition of true brilliance. From the composition of his music to the performance. He makes everything he plays, seem effortless, all the while showing his passion, emotion and love of the music. He can play a song hundreds of times and yet when one watches and listens to him, you would think it was the first time he ever played that song. Everyone up on that stage during this performance shows how it should be done. They have set the bar extremely high for those following in their footsteps.
Peter West Thank you for your kind reply. Mark Knopfer has an ability to give us the most profound messages and on the other hand he can reach evoke the deepest of our emotions. Like I always say, it's one thing to entertain your audience . It's quite another to move them. And he rarely fails to do just that for me. He is simply the best of the best in my humble opinion.
Missy I posted a comment on Guy Fletcher's website, I thought there were 50 guitarist on stage and a 100 musicians, what a master piece of music, best wishes. Log onto Guy's web site for the latest MK Albumn news www.guyfletcher.co.uk/index.php/page/Forum
Such a hauntingly beautiful song. The melody kept rolling through the back of my mind for days which made me look this video up. It's so awesome to see all of the players playing their parts.
The tone he gets from that Les Paul is unbelievable. Top musicianship right there on that stage. The drums and bass line when Mark is playing the outro is top notch.
This is pure unadulterated genius. All I used to listen to was Pink Floyd in the past, and they are genius in their own right. But no one tells the musical stories with such clean music and with such a lovely clear voice like MK does. Digging up album after album of his now and trying to listen to everything. This is such a lovely song, a hidden gem deep in the middle of the album. Thank You Mark :)
Funny I was thinking of that same comparison the other day. The layering of the instruments in some of Mark's songs is similar to that of the great Floyd albums.
Just look at him....Oh my lord??? His facial expression for his own guitar play....don't know about you but for me he is God's gift to please.....Much love to you Mr Knopfler
When you think that this man was in so much pain he had to sit down , but did he cry off and go and lay down and feel sorry for himself NO he got up on stage found a chair and gave his adoring fans what they came to see and hear , that's at God level long live MK
The Mark of a genious. Nothing better than his lyrical guitar talent on this song, great lyrics, great band, great production, live music just doesn't get better than this, period
Thanks Luciana, myself, Simona and thousands of fans get so much pleasure from MK's music, he is the best balladier, songwriter and most of all the best, best guitarist we have heard in our time, best wishes and lot's of kisses
Peter West we are thousands and thousands of connoisseurs, Peter, and we always will love MK's marterpieces, even if we don't hear him in mainstream music ... Have a happy day my friend!
As a guitarist, vocalist, writer and band frontman, Knopfler takes a backseat to no one. Neil Young is up there in all areas, but he does not have the technical skill of Knopfler on guitar (that's not to say Neil is not as "expressive" or even more prolific). Both continue to be creating new and GREAT music into their 70's....wondrous. Still, as an ensemble, I will take Mark and his bandmates any day....right up there with Bruce and the E-Street band, the Stones, The Who, any of them, in their primes....
I'm 75 now, and can honestly say after your comment, Mr Knopfler and his Dire Straits right up until now on his own with new band mates, are the best that will ever be. The mans a GENIOUS I've realised that, I was there with all the other great groups and bands in the 70's and 80's but no one can match Mr Knopfler and his creativity. Long may he reign.....
The band members are awesome, each one of them contributing to a beautiful tapestry... I can hear the lead backup, bass, drums playing into Mark's lead /vocals. very cool!!
Anda que no hacía calor aquel día en Córdoba y en aquel concierto, creo que es el día de vida que más calor he pasado pero valió la pena una y mil veces. Repetiría ahora mismo si pudiera. Nos dio un concierto inolvidable a pesar de estar convaleciente de una cirugía. Todo un genio de la música. Gracias maestro por ese recuerdo maravilloso que permanecerá en mi para siempre. ❤️
One has only look at the expression on Mark's face to see his ongoing love and passion for the music. After all these decades, he still feels the music.
Miss D you, Ginger and thousands of us know how great this guy is, everything he does is touched with gold, whether the lyrics, the production or that guitar playing which brings us back again every time. And un-like modern musicians he enjoys it, modern musicians seem to be media driven souls hell bent on the almighty dollar, sad, they should check this guy out to see how if is and should be done
@MissDistarr60. You should watch his live concert in Malaga 2013. He plays a perfect hillfarmers blues that concert. He plays it so beautifully and also has that expression on his face. Its like you can see his soul. Amazing!
Era un invierno frío, muy frío y de Luna grande. Extraño como las melodías que guardaron todo en sus notas. Sin embargo vino ella a calentarlo. Al recibir de nuevo esta canción, hoy, se instalaron todos los momentos vividos aquel 2015 en que tantas lágrimas me haría derramar al recordarle. Hoy. Justamente hoy en que todo parece romperse en las desgarradoras notas de su guitarra... Y aún no cumplimos el deseo de ir allí al lugar del Índalo en el que ya vivimos otra vida.
Great sound, great production, great guitar, great lyrics, how in God's name does he keep doing this, MK is simply the best musician of our time, he keeps deliverying for his humble subjects so much musical pleasure
mark knopfler is the greatest! I love him for what he does. like i heard his back hurts and some say his fingers too.... but he knows that we all need his music to live with. the songs are milestones for peoples... and for us he is still on stage... thank you mr. mark knopfler.my first concert was in basel.... when i was a little boy
I noticed that as well; that wallowing bass he’s all over that neck; wild. He’s making love to that instrument! And I think he’s using a pick... which is OK.
While you are listening to it seems you are being held back of the the edge of a mountain! So since you are there, please enjoy the view!!! So amazing...
Wow, what a beautiful song, the music is fabulous. So very very talented Mark Knopfler is . Wonderful band . Listen to this and all his other songs. Enjoy them all so very much
Never overdoing...just the exact notes and beats to get your mind to the pitch perfect right kind of high....every single time.....only genius men can be so perfectly limited in so many limitless number of ways....Mark....you hit the bulls eye mark every time....oh boy....oh oh boy.. And to add: Only top quality musicians like him attracts such top notch musicians willing to just blend in the background following your lead. Sublime stuff.
quarante années d'enchantement musical, mark est la musique, la vraie, celle qui prends aux tripes, merci mark, danny, glenn,et tous les autres pour ce bonheur sans fin
brilliant song and production, simply a master piece in live music those guitar licks are to die for, and the crowd went nuts. I for got to compliment the bassist, Glen Whorf, probaly the best bass guitarist in the the universe
I THINK YOUR FIRST SENTENCE SHOULD BE PREFACED WITH IMHO. IMHO Mark’s a genius & all round magical musician. He’s an inimitable, legendary guitarist, whose musical skills include prolific songwriting with unique storytelling lyrics, & arrangements. His versatility in giving a voice to the protagonist in the song lends it gravitas, humour, affinity & emotion. Those who arrogantly dismiss any of the latter attributes, are being very naive about how the whole composition actually becomes so awesome when performed Live, and are definitely not speaking on behalf of the majority of forever DS or MK Solo fans. I❤MK
Thank you so much for posting this. I just saw Knopfler perform night in Charleston and was blown away. Chills & tears simultaneously. This song is just too good.
This song is a perfect example of just why Knopfler is such a genius, and may I say one of the greatest song writing guitarists of our time.
Why yes you may. He is a true "Wordsmith".
Yes of cource you may say so, because it's absolutely true. There is none like him and no one even homes close.
💙&🙏 Always

@MissDistarr60. You should watch his live concert in Malaga 2013. He plays a perfect hillfarmers blues that concert. He plays it so beautifully and also has that expression on his face. Its like you can see his soul. Amazing!
Era un invierno frío, muy frío y de Luna grande. Extraño como las melodías que guardaron todo en sus notas. Sin embargo vino ella a calentarlo. Al recibir de nuevo esta canción, hoy, se instalaron todos los momentos vividos aquel 2015 en que tantas lágrimas me haría derramar al recordarle. Hoy. Justamente hoy en que todo parece romperse en las desgarradoras notas de su guitarra... Y aún no cumplimos el deseo de ir allí al lugar del Índalo en el que ya vivimos otra vida.
2:30.. puedes sentirlo? Es ritmo, corazón, magia, sentimiento!!
Great sound, great production, great guitar, great lyrics, how in God's name does he keep doing this, MK is simply the best musician of our time, he keeps deliverying for his humble subjects so much musical pleasure
Take me now lord, I have witnessed perfection.
There was a time I thought the same thing after listening this song, but wait till you meet the Lord Himself.
This guy is the real deal and a real treasure.
I love the way MK’s lyrics finish and then the band have what seems like a jamming session that could go on forever!

I love him for what he does. like i heard his back hurts and some say his fingers too.... but he knows that we all need his music to live with. the songs are milestones for peoples... and for us he is still on stage... thank you mr. mark knopfler.my first concert was in basel.... when i was a little boy

The BEST ...MARK KNOPFLER..
Look at the bass player going wild!! Love this song!
I noticed that as well; that wallowing bass he’s all over that neck; wild. He’s making love to that instrument! And I think he’s using a pick... which is OK.
While you are listening to it seems you are being held back of the the edge of a mountain! So since you are there, please enjoy the view!!!
So amazing...
Sound of the background guitars just add´s great feeling into this song, amazing.
yep, great post, best wishes
Speaking as someone from the small town of Tow Law, this is magnificent.
Wow, what a beautiful song, the music is fabulous. So very very talented Mark Knopfler is . Wonderful band . Listen to this and all his other songs. Enjoy them all so very much
Mark is so good live and always tells a cool story!
Never overdoing...just the exact notes and beats to get your mind to the pitch perfect right kind of high....every single time.....only genius men can be so perfectly limited in so many limitless number of ways....Mark....you hit the bulls eye mark every time....oh boy....oh oh boy..
And to add: Only top quality musicians like him attracts such top notch musicians willing to just blend in the background following your lead. Sublime stuff.

Malheureusement pas reconnu à sa juste valeur. Il est pourtant unique
From a musical perspective, tonight I think I am in heaven
Breath taking, a musical genius, I keep coming back to this song, music heaven, those guitar harmonics at 2:22, just to die for
There're beautiful songs, and there're magic songs like this one. 🌠💓

Un génie de la musique. Ce titre est magnifique. J'adore !

Una voz sencilla, familiar.. pero acompasada maravillosamente con el sonido geniál de la guitarra. Beatiful ,precioso sonido... Me encanta 🎸🎶🎶
brilliant song and production, simply a master piece in live music those guitar licks are to die for, and the crowd went nuts. I for got to compliment the bassist, Glen Whorf, probaly the best bass guitarist in the the universe
" ....... LYRICS MAY NOT BE MUCH, BUT THE MUSIC IS OUT OF THIS WORLD !
ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS, EVER ! ====== MATTS'
Yes, but the lyrics are super interesting too. We've all been there in one way or the other, come on.
The lyrics made me cry. Someone cheated and he still sings "Don't get me wrong, you were the only one"
I THINK YOUR FIRST SENTENCE SHOULD BE PREFACED WITH IMHO. IMHO Mark’s a genius & all round magical musician. He’s an inimitable, legendary guitarist, whose musical skills include prolific songwriting with unique storytelling lyrics, & arrangements. His versatility in giving a voice to the protagonist in the song lends it gravitas, humour, affinity & emotion. Those who arrogantly dismiss any of the latter attributes, are being very naive about how the whole composition actually becomes so awesome when performed Live, and are definitely not speaking on behalf of the majority of forever DS or MK Solo fans. I❤MK
Great truck and performance. So underrated. Magic Knopfler!
Oh goodness, this is breathtaking...thank you!
Another master piece by the master.
a pure masterpiece of live music, the harmonics on the the Gibson guitar at 2:25 is to die for
*_This man is just Magical !_*
I could not be there, but the whole concert seems to me really magic. I would highlight this theme and Marbletown. The Great Knopfler!
There's only one MK. Unique. Must hear this version of this song every now and then. Just wow!
Simply amazing, breath taking permanence. what a bunch of musicians
Impresionante Mark.
Muchísimas gracias por tu extraordinaria música y voz
El mejor guitarrista de Siempre, único, inigualable.
Thank you so much for posting this. I just saw Knopfler perform night in Charleston and was blown away. Chills & tears simultaneously. This song is just too good.
he adds meaning to my life.
Same my friend! In ways we will never be able to describe! Let the music talk.
Gran canción y gran knopfler, larga vida maestro!
That style, and that smirk.. you know a good song is coming....!
Sending full supports and ton of love for this music.
From Split, Croatia
Para mí una de las mejores canciones!!!
This is a live MASTERPIECE.
