![FIRST TIME HEARING - REO Brothers - Sultans Of Swing | Dire Straits [REACTION!!!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4WeDSCEBcGc/mqdefault.jpg)
I would highly suggest also checking out their live version of this song, title will include ALCHEMY LIVE in it. They look like they're having too much fun live. Love this song
Right , the Live version is in the ''OMG'' level category ...
Alchemy is Without Doubt, the very best version of S of S that DS ever did.
Mark is one of best lead guitarists in the history of the instrument.
You’ve jumped into a right Rabbit-hole here my brother.
Unbelievable level facts.
💯
This song launched hem.
I've got to agree with the comment though... We all heard this version first, and i is what you've heard here. but the Alchemy Live version is quite simply one of THE great live performances...period.
The Alchemy Live version is absolute must. It's one of the best live versions of any song there is. Not only is Mark Knopfler his usual amazing self, the drumming in the Alchemy version will blow your mind.
💯🤘
Absolutely agree!
As does the piano player who ties it all together.
It is. It has over 230 million views because of it
I couldn't agree more. Amazing.
I consider Mark Knopfler one of the top 5 guitarists, and the top songwriter. All his songs are brilliant tales. Got to see them in November of 1982. Watching Mark’s fingers play over that guitar for hours was magic! Glad you are discovering them!
Next ones should be Telegraph Road, Romeo and Juliet, Industrial Disease. That will give a broad spectrum.
You need to listen to the full version. This cut off where the real guitar solo was about to begin. Love your reactions.
This version should be taken down from TH-cam. Feel bad for first timers.
Unbelievable - it cut out the best part of the entire song. Knopfler's solo on this is outstanding. You need to watch another version for sure! Mark Knopfler is considered one of the top rock guitar virtuosos, known for his fingerstyle playing. He's a very elegant player with great tone. Money for Nothing was basically their cash-in song. Their earlier stuff is really good.
This is one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time and it is cut off! A crime!
Yes! The studio version has the guitar solo at the end that’s my favorite part of the song!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yep, studio version is the way to go…we get both fantastic solos.
PLEAAAAASE re-react to the studio version! The solo goes oooooonnnnnn. You're missing out!
I can't thumbs up more than once? What bullshit is that? Two fucking thumbs up!
Yea, this is an example of a TV performance that cuts the song because of time constraints.
Agreed, & although yes, the Alchemy performance is fantastic, I like studio better because we get both solos which are among the most recognizable & greatest guitar runs ever.
This video faded out before the final guitar solo! You have to look at videos, and always go with the longer video. Too many videos are cut short for some unknown reason??? Mark's final guitar solo was very tasteful, building on the pattern he created through the song. It totally fit with the way he spoke-sang the lyrics. This is one of the two best guitar solos of 1980's, the other being "Comfortably Numb". Go back for the full version of this song, just another 20-30 seconds? There are also great live performances of "Sultans of Swing".
Well technically both Sultans of Swing and Comfortably Numb are two of the best guitar solos of the 1970s (1978 and 1979 respectively, although the single of the latter wasn't released until 1980). 😉
I enjoy a lot of guitarists, but for me there is clear separation between Knopfler and Gilmour at the top of my favourites list and all the rest.
@@jjc5407 Hi JCC, thank you for the fact-check. Yes, once I thought about it, you were right. I was listening to The Wall in 1978-9. And while Straits exploded on the radio during the 80's, I did hear Sultan in 79. It's the old joke, "if you remember the 1970's you weren't there!" Usually that joke is about the 60's, but it works for the 70's just as well.
This is my favorite (?) Dire Straits song. BUT that said, you MUST listen to the live version from the Alchemy tour. OMG. I totally agree with the previous comment.
Please do the Alchemy live version it is next level same song same band. He plays without a pick.
Great reaction
Most versions including this one end before the real solo at the very end.
My favorite song by them!!! Please listen to the long version. His guitar solo at the endxis awesome!!!
Like most people at the time, my introduction to Dire Straits was hearing this song on the radio in 1978. I loved their music and vocals immediately, and still do. This is definitely one of their very best songs. And the debut album that it appears on is excellent, more low-key and bare-bones than much of their later stuff.
Great reaction as usual! As others say, you have to hear the Alchemy live version, because it becomes a transcendent song: the band takes off and flies. You need to walk down this road, because it’s truly one of the best live performances in the history of rock. It swings and floats through the center of the soul. Really that good.
I think the best word for his talk-singing is libretto, but others might correct me. Be well friend!
One of the most gifted guitarists in rock. Mark Knopfler!!!!!( NAH-FLER) The video cut one of his genius solos.
He’s kind of more like Bob Dylan in his delivery- “ talking blues”.
He’s singing about an actual jazz combo he saw called The Sultans of Swing.
You skipped the great guitar solo at the end. It is the best part of the song. You played the short version by mistake. Play the full album version.
This was the original Dire Straits from their debut album in 1978... Mark Knopfler (vocals & lead guitar) and John Illsley (bass) were the only members who made it to 'Money for nothing' in 1985 and the end of the band by 1993... ex-members - David Knopfler (guitar) is Mark's brother... Pick Withers (drums) left a few years later.
The music video was edited... the full song had an incredible guitar solo at the end by Mark Knopfler... 🔥🔥
Dire Straits was very versatile musically; they even had country songs in their catalog ('Setting me up' ... 'Portobello Belle')
This song is definitely a vibe, love it!
Of special note is that Mark Knopfler has been rated in the top ten of guitarists of all time by several lists by such as Rolling Stone magazine and the like. Also of real note to me, is that Mark Knopfler is a finger-picker (sans pick!) and hence the amazing dynamics he achieves. Watch the video and close-ups of his picking hand. As to 'Open Tuning'... a guitar is normally tuned low E, A, D, G, B, high E. A chord is made up of 3 notes, the 1st, 3rd & 5th of the chord. Like a 'C' chord is played with C, E, & G and by 'fretting' (pushing down the string to make contact with a fret) effectively 'shortens' the string's length making it higher. So, an open chord of C you fret the A string at the 3rd fret (a C note or the 1st or root note), the D string at the 2nd fret (E or 3rd), play the G open (un-fretted), the B string at the 1st fret (high C) and the high E string open. So just 3 notes are played (the C & E are repeated but an octave higher). All 'Open tuning does is change the tightness of several strings (or all of them) with the tuning 'pegs' to play just 3 notes of a chord (some up an octave) without fretting them. A real common alternate 'Open Tuning' is "Drop D" tuning which drops the 2 E strings to D (look that one up as Knopfler and many famous guitarist use it.) Sorry this got a little long winded, but I play and love the guitar!😏
Sultans of Swing is one of the best songs ever recorded, glad you enjoyed it
Oh mate you HAVE to do Alchemy live.. THEN you will see the real masters.. 👍❤
Another vote for the Alchemy Live version, which takes this to another level. Also Telegraph Road from the same concert which imo is one of the greatest live performances ever
Hi, Loving your channel.. This song live Alchemy 1983, or Sydney Final Concert 1986 are well worth checking out. Also recommend the song Calling Elvis from Dire Straits Live On The Night 1993. Youll freak out with a few little surprises at the end that you dont see very often these days in bands. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸🎸
Please, do 'Brothers in arms' by Dire Straits... THATS a guitar solo! Best ever, hands down.
I am from South Africa and remember hearing them all over the radio during the 80's. One of their less played songs is Romeo and Juliet ,I love that song. Someone who flew under the radar around the world except for South Africa during those times is Rodriquez. I would highly recommend checking out the entire Cold Fact album. A South African eventually tracked him down after 20 + years of us South Africans listening to him only for him to discover he did not even know he was famous here as well as he never got his money from royalties
That's interesting. When Dire Straits headlined the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1988 Mark mentioned that they'd been banned from South Africa in 1979, just a year after their first album (and this single) were released, due to their opposition to apartheid. He was clearly very proud of the fact. It's nice to know that despite being unable to perform there, their music still got plenty of airplay.
Oh no, that's the super short version. Oh my God man it's one of the most iconic guitar solos from this era and they faded out right at he's getting into it I guess for super short radio play but I know I heard the longer version on the radio all the time and it's perfectly matches the single that I bought for sure. You've got to hear the whole guitar so at the end man that's incredible.
This is my favourite Dire Straits song and it cements Mark Knopfler's position as one of the top guitarists of all time.
Great song unfortunately an entire section is left out!
Always do live versions. We know all the words but we didn't have video of our favorite songs back then.
Great song, I've loved this song since childhood, I'm 52 now. The "MUSICIANSHIP" of this song 🎵 is ONE OF A KIND!!!!
THE BEST debut single of all time!!! This is the FIRST time people ever heard this band!!! 😳🤯🤯🤯
BTW here's a clip of the full outro solo left off the end of that video. Others will tell you the live version has an amazing solo, but this stays true to the recorded song! Enjoy! 🥰 th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxF1-dqZ-icEgmMrE2mcE9Egij5pXZ2yGI
He plays for about 11 minutes in the Alchemy Live concert!
Grandgrandpa 72 here. It's Swing. Gipsy finger picking. Rapper later learn a lot from his singing style. (Other metric)
You missed the end!!!!!!! Get the full studio version, etc!!! Must hear!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The live version of Alchemy Live of this song has an amazing guitar riff!
Someone once asked Paul Stanley what it was like to be the world’s greatest guitarist. He replied, “I don’t know. You should ask Mark Knopfler.”
'Wild West End'... Considered a deep cut off their first album (like 'Sultans of Swing'). One of Mark Knopfler's displays of guitar mastery. Of note is the lack of a solo, but riff after riff throughout to create those 'ear-gasms' that Dire Straits guitar work brings. BTW, you'll note this done during the same session (same wardrobe). 😁 If you ever get a bug to react to an album... their first is it!
Do anything from their legendary Alchemy tour.
The guitar work from Knopfler is heaven.
I hate how so many of Dire Straits best songs have shortened versions that can get mistakenly played rather than the amazing full versions on the albums. If you do Brothers in Arms, make sure it's the full album version!
They're the radio edits. Dire Straits songs do tend to be on the long side. 😃
@@jjc5407 Thanks, I understand that they are radio edits. Still don't like them :P
Told ya bro. Legend
Shoulda done the ACTUAL live performance! This is a Great, but the real live version is Galactically Next Level!
One of my favorite songs from one of the first albums I ever bought. There are longer versions with longer outro solo on TH-cam. I can't remember where but I'm mentioning it hoping that someone will link to it here.
Tunnel of Love is a good one by them as is Telegraph Road. Tunnel of Love was written because rock was fled with American geography references but little from the UK. Knopfler decided to write a song about growing up in his hometown in Britain
I am seeing a lot of references to the Alchemy Live version, but I swear there is another live recording where he plays longer.
@@bobbybobbatunday9959Sydney Final Concert 1986 version I think is longer than Alchemy. Its my personal favorite.
I ABSOLUTELY love this song and used to air guitar the solos when I was little. 😐 Ok, still do as a grown ass woman. Lol
Leo Marachaoli’s Frog Leap Studios has an awesome cover of this.
I never got to see DS, but I saw Mark Knofler play a solo show in indy about 20 years ago. It was magnificent, and the crowd was impressively excited, for Indianapolis.
I suggest Telegraph Road, Love Over Gold, and Romeo & Juliet.
Band I go to on a dark rainy day. Kicked back with some weed. Chill vibes. Esp SIX BLADE KNIFE from same album.
this is the studio version; however for the video they cut short the outro....the finger picking just keeps going in full version.....
That's a great way to think about it where you kind of offer up Johnny Cash on the other hand and then spoken word in the middle and then rap on the other hand and there are so many other things that show up in rock music that are related to all of that. And most of it goes back to the really old black blues. The rhythmic storytelling.
Someone already said ...but I must insist....the video you watched cuts the smokin' outro "solo" too short.....stream the full studio version....also, there are a few excellent live versions on YT as well. For your non-reaction ...consider "Down to the Water" and "Wild West End" on their first album "Dire Straits" for his guitar work at different tempos. The album reflects his experience in late 70s London. Very different from the music coming out of NY or LA during the same era. Follow along with the lyrics.... and listen with headphones, naturally.
Love Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits!! Mark is a world famous finger picking guitarist. This song is about a honky tonk bar he visited and the band that was playing to a small crowd.
The band used to drink in a pub in London before they were famous the pub had a group that played regularly and they were called "The Sultans of Swing.
FINGER PICKIN GOOD!
I hate how the video just cuts in the middle of the great guitar solo at the end. WHY?
No response necessary, Man! I leave my comments to boost your algorithm and to spread good suggestions to whoever skims the comment section. Their "Telegraph Road" is my next best favorite after "Sultans of Swing". Cheers!
As all of you, I love music. But im by no means an aficionado. As far as guitarists go, Mark Knopfler has the most recognisable sound. Both he and Eric Clapton look as though the instrument is an extension of themselves. Other guitarists May be better, but they look the most comfortable.
ALCAMY LIVE VERSIONS! Redo Sultans then do TELEGRAPH ROAD!
The solo that's been left out is one of the most iconic of the last 50 years, in a song that catapulted Dire Straits to fame. It would be a shame if you don't enjoy it in it's entirety.
Such a fantastic song, these guys just nail it & Mark just kills the guitar…& we get two amazing solo runs! A lot of people suggest the Alchemy version which is good but the drawback is that the second solo is cut, same as this performance unfortunately. The studio version is best by far. The riff in this just sounds so dang good. Everything flows!
Actually if you were a guitarist you would know just how face melting and special his playing was in this song. It's just not face melting in the sense you are thinking I guess like loud and over driven etc but the actual technical side of his playing here is ridiculously good.
You got cheated out of the second guitar solo. It should go quite a bit longer before the fadeout.
His guitar playing is quiet but clean and lyrical. Its unique for sure.
Live Alchemy version good as well
You picked the wrong performance to watch. Need to do it again but listen to the Sultans of Swing (Alchemy Live). You will not be disappointed doing it a second time.
And may I just say “pretty pretty Mark Knopfler!!”
Alchemy live has the best guitar solo and is soo much better ...sultans of swing alchemy live. My favorite is brothers in arms. It’s about war.
Live alchemy version, lad.
It's 🔥🔥🔥
That guitar solo is deceptive. It sounds simple but the way he plays it with very specific fingerings, bends and other techniques makes it one of the hardest solos to play properly.
It's not just the solo either. You see quite a few covers, and whilst they might get the licks down they rarely if ever have that right hand in perpetual motion the way Mark does. They just play the fills between lyrics but Mark never stops. He has this amazing ability to play lead and rhythm together. The Reo Brothers version, which seems to get a lot of views and a fair few reactions is a prime example.
I agree with you that Sultans of Swing is a more enjoyable than Money for Nothing. The story behind both are great and the musicianship is top notch. But Sultans just tugs something in my soul
Way better than Money for nothin !
For an official version, this is very cut-down. The standout solo is in the outro which was cut, and there's also a verse missing if I'm not mistaken.
- By far better than "Money For Nothing", which was one of their more commercial songs.
- "Sultans of Swing" (and all songs on self-titled, "Dire Straits" album, 1978) on the other hand, have artistic "finesse", especially in Mark Knopfler's unique, pleasing guitar style.
- Definitely check out other songs from this album (and not even necessarily for TH-cam reaction: just enjoy on your own, for music's sake :) ...).
You must…must listen to the Alchemy version…it will blow you away…considered one of the finest live performances ever recorded and presented, it has very few equals in the land of music…do yourself a huge favor…you will not be disappointed
Hands free. No pick. Legend 2:27
Away by Cam Cole will blow you away but don't worry,.. he brings it back home in the end!!!
Please you must listen to Dire Straits Alchemy live version of this song it will blow you away it’s just pure perfection and the solo guitar version on this song is so magical it’s a must listen
Really really don't miss their song tunnel of love
Well as many of the comments I'm sure have said there's a very special live version and there's multiple live version so you need to do the specific one lie from alchemy as it is the solo of all solos and outros it just is so much better than the original LP or those other live ones you'll find out there I hope you make your way to it one day it really is worth it...
Yeah I like everybody they go with the official video instead of the live from alchemy You really really have to check that one out It is so worth it
Brothers in Arms is another great song from the Brothers in Arms album. And for more Keith Moon fun (of which these is many, along with Bonham, the Eagles, and the Who if you go readings (I don't recommend reading the terms Baby Groupies though because you will never see the musicians the same way again). The Real Me by The Who is a good one as well. Unless you heard it. My memory sucks.
This song was cut short, this not the regular longer version....
As a drummer I always look forward to hearing that time bell ring. Not done on the live version though.
- - - - - ALCHEMY LIVE - - - - -
It cut off the end! You have to hear the epic guitar end.
It's like he's speaking with the flow, if that makes sense.
Definitely check this one out
You'll like Walk of Life by them, too.
There were a few lines left out in this video I don't know why but they mentioned creole.... creole I feel jipped every time I see this video
Alchemy Live version is perfection
That was cut a bit short.
There's a cool live video of this in "Alchemy Live." They're a good band, especially Mark Knopfler's playing. But, they weren't the best '80's band.
For a while in the mid-80s, on the back of the Brothers in Arms album, they were basically the biggest band in the world. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more accomplished group of musicians. 'Best' is simply subjective.
You really should Listen to Music with headphones or Earbuds. It's like you are there in Concert, I should know I've seen This Band a Few Times.🎧
You wanna do some interesting research, the Wall of Sound!
I actually can’t stand the ending to this version because the real guitar solo is just beginning as it fades out. 😢
Agreed. Better 8:59
Please do the Alchemy live version. ✌️
GRATEFUL DEAD!
GRATEFUL DEAD!
Stagger Lee!
El Paso!
Me and my Uncle!
Ripple to start! You wanna educate some sleepers, this is the Way!
Sadly they cut off the ending solo which was a must hear ! Listen to the live version you wont be sorry :)
Alchemy Live Version pleeeeeease
If you want even more versatility listen to "Brothers In Arms.
You missed the whole guitar solo commercial cut why you missed about three-and-a-half massive face-melting
I imagine Mark meant the song was dull simply because the sound of the National Style O resonator guitar didn't suit it and that it really came to life with the electric Stratocaster. The song just wasn't right for the National, unlike Romeo and Juliet which is the most famous song Mark plays with the National (which is the guitar that features on the album cover of Dire Straits biggest selling album, Brothers in Arms).
If you try to play this don't worry Gerry Rafferty said you will get it right next time......
Bummer they faded out one of the greatest guitar solos during the outro😢
Also why are you sleeping on the band Steely Dan?
This version of the song is cut way short, the best part was omitted 🤨
