Musically we've been blessed during our time on earth Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler have given us their all . Two giants in the writing and performing of so many musical treasures . Well done indeed .
I get tired of hearing people say he is under rated or she is under rated or this band or that band is under rated, if their favorite artist or band truly are under rated there is a reason for that but those with real talent can not be appreciated by the public yet they are held in high esteem by their peers. Mark Knopfler is anything but under rated.
I don't think really so, he had and has so many appreciations! But to some point ure right, cause he deserved more appreciation......Cause he must be in same league with Jimi Hendrix!!
Mark , a musical Angel gifted to us,, his fans who are his very large Family,are eternally grateful and blessed to have this genius and his talent here for us all to watch and listen in awe….
This is sheer pain and love....so glad I happened on this version.with years in my eyes,I endorse the comments regarding mark knopfker's guitar,but I am humbled to have grown in the same generation as Robert zimmerman.there are not words to describe him,just love in my heart.
I guess guitar players, like music in general, is a very personal thing. There's nothing wrong with Rory, I just prefer Mark (It might be the songs. I don't know.). But that's just me.
One of the great classics, played with immense feeling. Beautiful. This was played at my younger brother's funeral by one of his close friends, so has much sentimental meaning to me too. "The Lord is my shepherd that I shall not want..." - Peace to all TH-camrs and your loved ones.
@@RS-nm2ic Thanks for your kind thoughts. Living by the philosophy of “better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” Appreciate all one has. Wishing you and your loved ones peace and strength ☮️
Seguo Knopfler dagli anni 70 e la sua musica, il suo sound, mi appartengono nel profondo. Grazie Mark per tutte le emozioni donate nei decenni, certe melodie ed il modo di interpretarle non possono che fuoriuscire da una grande persona.
Summer of 1976, Binghamton NY, the opening act for Bob Dylan and the backup band were some guys called the Knopfler Brothers. The Brothers opened for about 45 minutes. Then Dylan came out and joined them for about an hour. Dylan never plays very long. After Dylan did his encore "Hurricane Carter." The Knopfler brothers came back out and said we would like to play a little longer. They played till f'ing 2:00 am the next day and closed with "Knocking on Heavens Door." The second time that night and the better version. The first of few times I got to see what became Dire Straits. Man that song will be stuck in my head. Go watch the Grateful Dead's version. They too were a Dylan back up band about that time.
The children singing in the background were the surviving class friends of the children and teacher who were murdered at Dunblane School. Breaks my heart every time I hear this song. Beautiful version.
Prepoznala bih njegovu gitaru među tisucama drugih, Mark je najbolji gitarist, normalna osoba, skroman, jednostavan, a njegova muzika me odusevljava od 1977. g i dira u dusu pozivio nam jos dugo🥰❤🥰
This is the best version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Mark Knopler is a virtuoso with the guitar. He doesn't bang it like so many guitarists. In his hands, it's like a "voice."
RS magazine is one of most shittiest & bullshits magazine that human kind has ever created.... Comparing Clapton with the extraterrestrial Mark Knopfler, is like saying that Justin shitty Biaber, is better vocally than Elvis Presley .... MK is so bloody obviously some thousands light years ahead any biological creature that has walked, walks and shall walk for the next 1999 years, as far as all the musical components are concerned; lyrics of masterpiece level, an anthology of English language itself, only the Telegraph Road, is more than enough to verify this, the virtuosity in music writing and guitar playing are simply unrivaled by no human, and the band's career... it looks so ridiculous to compare The Cream (EC band) with Dire Straits and their impact's size in the infinite Empire of the art form called music. Full stop.
Eh prefer Dylan's acoustic version is more haunting Lol at comparing guitarists lt doesn't matter your opinion is just an opinion. Mark is just another guitarist and I could careless about virtuosity douchebags who idolize guitarists use that word to show their fanboy Music is personal opinion no need to type some long winded fanboy worship of some dude who is just another guitarist. Electric guitar doesnt do this track justice, and his writing isnt all that spectacular I've heard better.
Unire due poeti così, l'uno delle parole e l'altro della sua statocaster, è semplicemente SENSAZIONALE. Hearing two poets like them, one with his words and the other with his stratocaster, playing together is simply SENSATIONAL.
A Bob e' sempre piaciuto Mark. Fin dagli esordi di Mark, Bob l'ha sempre cercato. Volendolo piu' volte come chitarrista nei propi lavori. Io mi ritengo un privilegiato ad aver avuto la fortuna di crescere con la musica di Bob......
Put these guns aground. More than ever ! Anything children should hear in this world is music that arises from the musical hearts and souls like Mark Knopfler's guitar 🎸 ♥️
The occasion was so utterly and deeply sad. The music so emotional en touching the soul. Always found this one of the best songs ever, but this rendition surpasses everything.
Mr. Benton hit the nail on the head! I think the correct way to put what makes MK so unique and in a whole different class and makes his playing so supirior to anyone else is not the technique (althogh the sultan's solo was clearly groung breaking) but rather that Mark makes his guitar sing!! Clapton paved the way but MK takes it to a whole new level... Throughout all the DS songs his guitar is singing a gorgeous second voice to him that often is a whole new seperate tune that meshes in so perfectly....(very pronounced on communique) and the solos are a duet to his singing - Maybe being a true musician is what makes the magic and sets him apart from all other guitarist who are just that. He turns the guitar from a guitar (that many play so incredibly well) into a real musical instrument that produces amazing music..... Similar to what Steve Gadd can do with a drum kit... Did anyone say best guitarist ever.....?
How could anyone give this song a thumbs down? A fabulous version and a fitting tribute. I think this is the only time Bob Dylan ever allowed someone to alter or add to his lyrics...
This version melt my heart, and lets my thoughts flood free to all off my love ones that already pasted tough a door to there Heaven. Bless there souls.
Thank you Mark, for such a beautiful song. Today is my deceased brother's 14th anniversary and he played guitar🎸🎼and loved to play this song and enjoyed listening to all of your music....God Bless his soul and keep up the wonderful music "Mark" you're an inspiration and a great legend.🎸🎶🎤 The 23rd Psalm was perfect for this song. That was the prayer we prayed with brother during his passing.🙏 Thank You so much.😇 You're one of our Angels watching over him.🎸🎶🎼🙏
Agree ... like so many artists of his caliber.. however I see Dire Straits was inducted in the Rock and Roll hall of fame .. and his main band mate acknowledged Mark even though he wasn’t there ... they are a phenomenon.. and for sure Mark is up there with Dylan , JJ Cayle and Clapton ... they will live on forever ... they are true geniuses in the fusion of good lyrics and music ... they all give me goosebumps when I listen to them !!!!!!
These two geniuses cannot be replicated , it is priceless. "MarkKnopfler", with his guitar playing ! Bob Dylan, was and still is way ahead of us in time, still with his lyrics, beauty in motion !
MK....by any measure would not be considered undertated by any musician in the world. How does he do make those guitars sound so entic8ng and beautiful. Grew up in the sixties/seventies and I remember 1978.......first year of college, what a rush !
I remember that awful March morning so clearly. And the heart wrenching feeling I felt as it was broadcast on the radio while on a tea break at my place of work. I like to think, that this song helped bring some kind of peace, to those that were left with the immense lose and heartbreak that this act of evil had brought into their lives.
Many thanks to the person who posted this version - I discovered Sir Mark Knopfler, OBE, through this posting. I was young adult living in San Francisco during the Hippie/Rock Music era but never listened to Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing" - knew they were a top selling rock group, but never knew anything about the members of the group or their big hit. Now love listening to the original version and Mark and Emmy Lou Harris's duets. Hard to believe he wasn't more well known in the US then - think the Beatles and the Rolling Stones got the most attention then.
Great version. When I was a college radio DJ in 80-81, I used to play an incredible version of this song by Pete Carr and the phone lines would light up
I have a fondness for the Warren Zevon version recorded while he was indeed knocking on Heaven's Door. This is good too, I am huge fan of Mark Knopfler, one of the guitar greats, needs more appreciation.
I remember my uncle sending me the first Dire S. album the moment it came out, before anyone I knew had heard of them (back in the days of cassettes). He told me that MK had been in Bob's backing band and now he'd started his own show. Therefore, my uncle wrote, one to watch. Well, he picked that one right.

Musically we've been blessed during our time on earth Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler have given us their all . Two giants in the writing and performing of so many musical treasures . Well done indeed .
Knopfler is anything but underrated. He's been playing for stadiums full of people for decades. His whole band is amazingly versatile.
I think even if he was regarded as the best musician of all time I would still say he was underrated 👍
Musical genius. Loved his stuff since day one.
He is fully appreciated by those who realize what good playing is.
I get tired of hearing people say he is under rated or she is under rated or this band or that band is under rated, if their favorite artist or band truly are under rated there is a reason for that but those with real talent can not be appreciated by the public yet they are held in high esteem by their peers. Mark Knopfler is anything but under rated.
@@1979bobhd He is just not rated high enough, what ever scale you are using, it is just not high enough for Mark Knopfler.
I saw them both in a concert in Berlin. Knopfler was awesome. Dylan was awesome. Together they were like out of our planet. Fact.
Mark Knopfler is the most underrated and under appreciated man in music, I think he's genius
he is a genius and most everyone knows by now
Absolute genius
I don't think really so, he had and has so many appreciations! But to some point ure right, cause he deserved more appreciation......Cause he must be in same league with Jimi Hendrix!!
@@petergunner8666 True!
and he is one of the best guitar-players, also very underrated
This song is already one of the greatest and Mark made this so much better. He is a true legend
The unmistakable, immaculate guitar work of MK turns this song into an epic classic! 🎸❤️
Mark Knophlers version of this song is masterpiece.Genius in the making fantastic music
He is "the guitar genius"
Mark , a musical Angel gifted to
us,, his fans who are his very large
Family,are eternally grateful and
blessed to have this genius and
his talent here for us all to watch and listen in awe….
That ended way too soon. I could listen to Knopfler go on indefinitely. Every note is gold from this guy. Really special player.
Mark Knopfler is one of a kind.
He has never disappointed.
Mark knopfler makes every song special, he puts soul into music.
The only live artist who gives me involuntary tears!
About a month ago my wife,was knocking on heavens door,when her sugar was low,glad she made it,glad for the emergincey guys shes ok
We are all just a knock from heavens door. We just don't know when. Live life prepared to die.
I totally agree that Mark Knopfler is underrated by many. He deserves so much more for the sheer amount he puts in. A true Guitar master.
Except for his music, he prefers to keep a low profile
100% true!!!
The most talented guitarist of all era's ,none could even come close to this genius on lead ,He's magical ,what true brilliance
I agree wholeheartedly!
This is sheer pain and love....so glad I happened on this version.with years in my eyes,I endorse the comments regarding mark knopfker's guitar,but I am humbled to have grown in the same generation as Robert zimmerman.there are not words to describe him,just love in my heart.
Mark is not the fastest player in the world, or the loudest, he is simply the best. No-one can match him for putting emotions into his playing.
Well said.
John Benton finger pickin he ´play
He is the only player I've ever encountered who can put emotion into an electric guitar.
John Benton Gotta disagree big time. Rory Gallagher does exactly that, which is why he's my favorite rock-blues guitarist. Love Knopfler though. too.
I guess guitar players, like music in general, is a very personal thing. There's nothing wrong with Rory, I just prefer Mark (It might be the songs. I don't know.). But that's just me.
Knopfler adds an unearthly dimension to the song. Incredable!
Mark Knopfler, truly one of the greats.
Love his style of playing, pure feeling like David Gilmore. This is a beautiful version, almost a hymn ❤️👍
I was going to say the same, like Gilmour. His few tasty notes, each one penetrating to my bones.
Believe it or not , David Gilmore Borrowed from The Late Garry Moore
I love Mark's sound and the way he plays it. Just so dynamically.
One of the great classics, played with immense feeling. Beautiful. This was played at my younger brother's funeral by one of his close friends, so has much sentimental meaning to me too. "The Lord is my shepherd that I shall not want..." - Peace to all TH-camrs and your loved ones.

Fore me is the Best version the Origenal from BOB DYLAN th-cam.com/video/rnKbImRPhTE/w-d-xo.html
Timeless.... Mark Knofler as usual just brilliant

Knoflers playing brings a new emotion to Dylans voice,
Are you sure that's Dylan singing?
I am pretty sure that's NOT Bob
The name of the singer is
Ted Christopher
I guess we both should have read
the description in the first place😊
Bob's been my favorite since my youth.I am 65 now and still feel the same.God bless him,and May stay for ever active.

How can a guitar be played so slow, yet have so much feeling and power of expression. Well done Mark...
A marvellous example of the genre of Rock and Roll.
A Dillon classic and a vision of excellence.
Simply fabulous.
