    Mark Knopfler performing a great version of "Money for Nothing" during "Music for Montserrat", live from Royal Albert Hall, London - 15 September 1997.
    Mark Knopfler - vocals, guitar
    Eric Clapton - guitar
    Sting - backing vocals
    Guy Fletcher - keyboards
    Phil Palmer - guitar
    Phil Collins - drums
    Ray Cooper - percussion
    On the evening of September 15, 1997, legendary British music producer George Martin (who had risen to prominence with the Beatles) held a benefit concert at London's Royal Albert Hall for the small Caribbean island of Montserrat, which had recently been devastated by a volcanic eruption. All of the invited superstars had recorded some of their biggest hits at Montserrat's Air Studios, which Martin had founded in 1970, and this shared history gives Music for Montserrat an added sense of enjoyment among friends. Despite a few vocal dropouts and forgivable mixing problems, this outstanding concert has been captured with impressive fidelity, and while each artist performs songs appropriate to the occasion, they share the stage (along with a house band, choir, and orchestra conducted by Martin) in brilliant combinations that bring out the best in everyone involved.
    The show hits full stride with Mark Knopfler's exquisite "Brothers in Arms," which segues nicely into "Money for Nothing" with guest vocals by Sting, who then performs two hits from his Police years. And while Elton John and Eric Clapton form the centerpiece of the concert (especially Clapton and Knopfler's acoustic "Layla"), by which time Music for Montserrat had given its royal audience a show they would never forget.
    Enjoy!

    I don't think anyone can appreciate how Knofler has impacted the world of guitar. He created his own sound by playing fingerstyle - which is particularly difficult on electric guitar, creating so much sound, very unique. Chet Atkins and Merle Travis also fingerpicked - but used their thumb to create primary a bass line to their fingers - Knofler claws, sometimes playing bass line with his thumb - sometime not. He's so good, so unique - he makes it look easy. He's a true pioneer and probably won't be emulated for a very long time.
