My gosh man this is why i dont understand the internet, cat videos with millions of views and this peice of gold sittin here with 130 thousand. Its a damn shame your amazing paul.
Paul W Wells, take a bow. This is a masterpiece, an incredible piece of piano playing to capture one of the best live performances you’ll ever see. Truly brilliant.
Paul W Wells, this exceeds perfection. This is my favorite song of all time and I cannot believe you were able to capture the entire Alchemy Live performance on the piano. Do you know what you have here? This is solid gold... SOLID GOLD. Easily the most beautiful song written in the history of music. I tip my hat to you dude. I am speechless.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I agree that this is one of the most beautiful songs written in the history of music because the riff is so relaxed and gently explores neighbouring chords with no harsh surprises. Amazingly, the chorus has no vocals which further attests to the brilliance of the pull of the riff. This rips up the text book on how to make music with a 'hook' because the verse has already built up the momentum and the confidence of the chorus stands on its own without the need for an earworm lyric and melody.
+paulwwells yes man! I totally agree! Great way of putting it! The chorus offers that perfect release and consonance after such a glorious verse! Are you on Facebook? Just watched this again btw. Can't get enough!
I totally agree this is also one of my favourite songs ever my family has been listening to this song for generations my dad used to listen to this when he was young and also all my other brothers and now me
I'm sad to just find this video now. I've loved Dire Straits for years. If Mark has seen this. Or ever does. He can only agree. It's flawless. I'm so glad I looked. ;-)
Thank you for your support and encouragement :) It is an interesting thought what Mark Knopfler would think of this video - I really hope that it would show him how positive an effect this song continues to have. I felt the urge to put together a solo version of the whole song to show how keenly people still listen.
Incredible. I've lost count how many times I've watched this. By far the best piano version of a classic song. Would love to see this on a grand piano.
Thank you. There's probably a textbook somewhere which advises against attempting that final solo - which just makes it all the more tempting to have a go.
@@paulwwells I know, that is the same way I feel when I do my Pink Floyd covers also.....When I do solos, I combine two different piano sounds and a piano w/string sound, to fatten it up....
@@paulwwells sorry, pure laziness...I have never uploaded playing my music into TH-cam....big part of the problem is I don't know where to begin: what do you record with? I have never even done a video on my IPhone....how does one get good sound quality to load to here? Yes, I am that useless when it comes to these matters....yet, I have a complicated midi rig that I use for my recordings, blending 4 keyboards and several voice modules....but this whole video thing, again, don't have the foggiest......
@@DrGargani Ah - well as it happens I have made a couple of videos on this very subject recently: th-cam.com/video/LlT3KeBtB3s/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/MtiMfrTbFpg/w-d-xo.html
I am a forced student from the old days catholic school. . at least to lessons and week. i hated it ! Now i could not be more grateful . It's like a learning another language if you you don't use it you loose it. I have been so inspired by you r videos and many others to learn again. thank you pretty cool what you are putting out in the world . I see you my friend.
I really love this cover! It matches the tempo of the actual piece almost perfectly, inclusive of all the little nuances that makes their performance of it so wonderful. Thank you for making the time to learn and record this!
Masterful, :) I can't stop watching it. It's very addicting, amazing and encouraging. :) I may have to play it a thousand times to learn it. :) Thank you for all that you are. :)
thks you so much for this version ! I grew up with Supertramp and Dire straits with my father, and if I only knew to play this way !! I dedicated it to him.
Thank you for your comment. It's a powerful song for reasons I have never been able to fathom and which just seems to be improving with time. I am glad you like my humble rendition.
just amazing.. you rock... i m impressed.. congrats
Best cover I've seen
My gosh man this is why i dont understand the internet, cat videos with millions of views and this peice of gold sittin here with 130 thousand. Its a damn shame your amazing paul.
Because most of people have no idea how much work you have to put to play like this. They open those eyes when they try to do something like this.

Thomas morais that’s awesome man!!! This song will stand the test of time. Keep on loving Knopfler!!!
Still sounding magestic
JUST MIND BLOWING
best cover ever.
I usually don’t give likes and comments that easy.. but your performance.. it’s superb!!!
Thank you very much. I know what you mean, I too am not moved to comment often.

"Sultans of swing" is so great that even my easy piano cover sounds good, but what Paul Wells does is more than good, it's wonderful. 👏👏👏👏
The best piano cover for this song! No other piano cover comes even close to this! Hats off Paul !
Thanks Abhijit :)
@@paulwwells pleasure listening to your covers!
Incredible. I've lost count how many times I've watched this. By far the best piano version of a classic song. Would love to see this on a grand piano.
I am a wannabe piano player and am totally blown away by what I am watching. It is other-worldly. What an incredible talent. Remarkable.
holy shit, this version is completly insane, cant stop listen
"It ain't what they call dubstep" - loving the alternative lyrics! Superb piece of music played exceptionally well
I thought I was the only one who attempt to do that final solo on the keyboards! LOL.....great job, I'm impressed....
Thank you. There's probably a textbook somewhere which advises against attempting that final solo - which just makes it all the more tempting to have a go.
