Look at the way they are looking at each other and smiling it's as though they can,t believe how on fire and in the zone they are it's one of those rare times when it all falls into place and they can do no wrong. They know they are going to blow the roof off. Musical perfection
Almost no one does finger picking lead guitar. Eddie Van Halen did it at times but mostly all use a pick. His smoother tone comes from the softer sound of the fingers on the strings. Just a great style.
@HRConsultant_Jeff yeah and knowing Mark knopfler is a left-hander and plays a right-handed guitar blows my mind. If you could see inside my living room you would see bits of brain 🧠 and skull 💀 all over the walls 😂
Do yourself a favour and listen to the entire concert performance at least once. Alchemy Live is a musical masterpiece of performance, composition, spirit. Even if you don't listen on here, it's something you'd want to listen to at least once. Telegraph Road, for instance, is just off this planet, indescribable. There are probably a few like that on that album really... ❤😊
After I've viewed this live version of Sultans of Swing, as I must have a hundred times, I feel as though I've run a flat out mile without stopping! This is phenomenal in every sense of the word. Mark is definitely the GOAT.!
The drummer, Terry Williams, had his father in the audience for the first time and he was a little hyped, thus the slightly faster pace. You can see on Mark's face he was amused, and they all had no choice but to keep up. I have the concert on disc and it is awesome. 🏕 My introduction to Dire Straits was the album Communique. 1983 A friend brought the CD along camping. It was late, and we were really tired from the days 🧗♀️ rock climbing up at Devil's Lake in Wisconsin, with a few cold beers 🍻 and a few shots of Jack Daniels🥃... We sat around the dying fire, just staring at the undulating glow of the coals. The sky was full of stars that night, no moon. It was magical alright, I felt like I was under a spell. Communique is the perfect album for a quiet dark place of comfort. My late-husband and I got to see them once, 1985 in Milwaukee during their Brothers in Arms tour. It was the same friend who had brought the CD camping that scored tickets for the concert. Both gone now. My husband at 48 and our friend at 55, both from heart attacks. I imagine they're having one helluva time on the other side and I am jealous. ❤
I think his dad was there, possibly for the first time with him in Dire Straits, pretty sure he saw him play in other bands previously(MAN, Rockpile etc) Terry always played like that!
Don't be jealous, enjoy your time here with us. All of us will go to the other side eventually. I'm sorry for your loss, hope you have a great life, full of hapiness.
Never gets old. One of the true greats. I was at their concert in Chicago 1985. 2 hours plus of real music, real instruments, brilliant musicianship and vocals. Great concert!
Oh my god you speak my language!! Im now 71, my musical tastes stretch from 1940's Big Band Jazz through the Beatles Pink Floyd CSN to probably the late 1990's when it al started to go tits up!! Wonderful to watch you enjoy our Boomer music. I saw this Dire Straits concert back in the mid to late 80's, best live concert I've seen since seeing The Faces back in th 70's. Enjoy the ride!!😁😁🇬🇧
The whole concert "ALCHEMY LIVE" is MONSTRUOUS, ridiculous so much they're good! The sound production, is better that today😂The melodies, rythms, ecerything is fantastic! It's phenomenal, like Led Zeppelin live at the Madison Square Garden 1973, Jimi Hendrix live at Woodstock or with the band of gypsies, etc... You can't explain why it's so perfect! It's a kind of magic like Queen said😂Apparently, your followers tell you to watch great performances!👍 Peace from France, my cousin of Canada😂✌️👍
Terry Williams on drums is going off, as his dad was in the audience that night, so Terry really gave it some stick. Mark Is a pure finger picker, no plectrum required. You know a Knopfler guitar piece as soon as you hear it, he is unique in the rock world.
I just love it when Mark looks into the camera and smiles as if what he's doing is nothing at all. He's completely ridiculous not using a pick and another thing, apparently he's LEFT HANDED. He's a genius songwriter, performer/storyteller and God bless him. 🙋♂
Dire Straits, I mean Mark Knopfler, has another talent which is very very rare in music. He just doesn't play the guitar, he makes the guitar speak and tell you a story which you cannot put in words but live it. That's what it makes this music fell like magic.
1 word,"WOW", if this Song was a Painting it would be considered a Masterpiece, No Doubt another thing try not move to this Captivating Majestic of a Blaster of a Tune 🎶 they all went 2 Heaven & Back, Banging out this on
This has to be one of the best performances ever and one that I never get tired of watching as every time I watch it I see something different in it that I never spotted before. MDreezy you have done a great job letting the video play to the end before you commented. Unlike some who pause the video 2 or more times to comment, so well done and keep up the good work.
I'm a reaction addict. I wish there was a database of the songs where there is just a particular "best version" for reactors. There are tons of songs where it doesn't matter. But THIS is one where THIS Alchemy Live one is absolutely the best one. I watch at least 2 hours of reactions every single night. I'm sure that if I checkd out your first reaction to this, that I didn't bother watching after I realized it was the "wrong" one. I watch so many reactions, that I don't have time to watch ones that will disappoint me. So I'm SO glad you did this one. Love you so much. You are one of the reactors that I've subscribed to. The drummer in this vid KILLS it. OMG so good. And that last organ note at the end!!!!! Yes, this is just the ultimate version to react to
I can honestly say, I have never heard a drummer go off like this guy , you have to keep time for the band , and he constantly fills and fills and fills Fan frickin tastic
I appreciate your eloquent commentary on where music has gone. It is wonderful that you can introduce such talented and genuine musicians to your generation. You are so right in saying how music can have a profound affect on your psyche. Dire Straights was one of the best. If you want to explore more great live performance bands check out the Grateful Dead. An insane amount of live concerts to choose from.
Mark just auctioned off a lot of his famous guitars at Sotherby's for charity. There is an interview by him on UTube before the auction started. He is now 74, very humble and funny and has a new album coming out in April.
Best live concert I ever saw. Saw them live in Houston, TX 1985. I feel so fortunate to have had that opportunity. I was a fan for life from that day forward.
Your generation really needs to listen to music from the 60s-80s. That is true music at its purist. Glad you enjoyed it MDreeezy. Keep listening. So many great bands from back then.
There will be a day when Mark Knopfler will share mention with Mozart, Bach, Gershwin, Copeland and the like in music appreciation classes. Still making new music in his seventies with a new album dropping in April.
I listened to this version for the first time a couple of month ago. Wasn't a Dire Straits fan when I clicked on the video but I was when it ended. Since then I have listened to all their albums and there are so many good songs. Great reaction I hope you will react to more Dire Straits like Telegraph Road from the same concert it is a real masterpiece.
Dire Straits is not music, it is a series of tales, you can hear Mark Knopfler making the guitar speak and tell you a tale which you feel but cannot put in words. A good example for this is Where do you think you are going > Private Investigations > On every street.
I love hearing you talk about the "vibration" of music! A lot of music from "our" earlier years tended to uplift more, in my humble opinion. I like your vibe, MDreezy! Subscribed! 🙌
He's not using a thumb pick he's not using a finger pick he's using all of his fingers on his right hand and coordinating with the fingers on his left hand. He doesn't use guitar picks he picks with his fingers picked with his fingers this is from the 1970s.
Big props to you Friend for taking the time to listen and appreciate what rock history has to offer. Ask anybody.. This is one of the greatest recorded team performances ever. My daughter is a millennial and I regularly feed her autotune-free, samplin-free, mixing-free, authentic and heartfelt music performed by those purely for the joy of it. Look at their faces. Just love and spreading it out. This is what our country lacks...Unselfish and giving humans
I love it! I’m so glad that you didn’t talk all the way through the music (as SO MANY “reviewers do!). It’s as if they only like hearing themselves! Great review. I’ll be back! 👍
I saw Dire Straits many years ago at Finsbury Park Theatre. They were brilliant then, and I am still stunned whenever I see them now, as in this amazing video.
The 1978 studio version of "Sultans of Swing" you reacted to before was on Dire Straits first album and was a huge hit single that launched the band's career. This 1983 concert features almost completely different personnel from the 1978 original band. Drummer Terry Williams in particular, and the addition of an additional keyboard player are total upgrades.
I really enjoyed landing here today..I feel you to a very sweet man, I grew up in Bay Area California, which was the BEST of times for music…and you are so right about the vibes…I hold you in Love🌀♥️
I was 18, I was there! The star for me was Terry Williams on the drums, he played like that the whole gig! It was towards the end of the tour, didn't look like it! We thought it may be a bit soft, no way, one of the best concerts I've been to! 40 Years later it still stands right up there (feeling old now) This is what happens when a group of master musicians get together and have fun Now watch Telegraph Road, it was the encore!
Man you said it! Negative energy in modern music is killing. Im a guitarist and my idol is Mark Knoplfler, i play like him, at least in my mind, on my Custom built 76 Gold and candy red Strat! My most prised possession! So goid to see a young man appreciate crafted music , keep it up, Bud!
Somewhere along the line in the mid-90s music became corrupted IMO. It became more about the glorification of the ego, "The self "and less emphasis on the band or the music . Man I miss the 70s and 80s ...🤟
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗 What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having. Making your living like that wouldn't suck.
Mark is a musical genius, obviously. One of the best guitarists in history! And, yes, I was waiting for smoke to start coming from the drums. So fun to watch. One of the best live performances of all time! I knew you were going to love it!
He doesn't have fingers on the strings. He has ice-skates. And that drummer... he's leading an avalanche. By the way, everyone HAS to the music, and everyone with a brain will eventually ask, "Gee, what came before?" and they'll dig back until they find a Key Performance to motivate more archeology, more digging, more treasures. One great thing: "listen to albums, NOT singles." Albums may be junk but you'll only know that by listening to them. There will be many more gem, real treasures among Album Bands. And Dire Straits is one of those wonderful album bands. You have a leg up already: "This is only 10 minutes and they've been playing so long before this." EXACTLY. This is an album band from the beginning.
Sultans of Swing was recorded in 1980 over 45 years ago. I can still listen to this 24/7! Love the drummer. He's the best!
It was realised in 1978.
It was written in1977.😮
I don't have to say when the studio version was recorded. But the Alchemy album was 84..
@@Mozza-g2m ...which was recorded two nights at the end of the Sultans of Swing Tour '83.
@@heisenberg69 sorry its an error in my typing yes I know it was it was the 22 or 23rd of July yeah?
Phaps I should slow down in my comments yeah 😂
One of the greatest live performances of any band in any genre, ever! Just facts! ❤️🇦🇺
Yep pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

John Illsley says the same thing is his book My Life in Dire Straits
Thank you for telling me. I didn,t know that. So for the first time in my life I was right. Ha Ha@@laurajack139

Knopfler’s style is so smooth and effortless. It’s intense, yet delicate. He’s definitely one of the greats.

LOL
LOL oh for sure! hahahaha
I'll give you your 50th 👍
The drummer, Terry Williams, was definitely on fire. His dad was in the audience for this show, seeing his son play live for the first time.
LMFAO
Has to be one of the best, if not the best, live performances ever in the history of music...of any genre.
Have to agree it’s an absolute beast of talent in the raw
I believe it is the best performance I’ve seen in my 67 years! Masterpiece ❤
I'd say it is the best I've seen/ heard, ever!
I have played this so many times. Love Mark!!
Danm dude! You spoke more with your silence than most reactors yapping away.
Definately earning Subs!!!
I appreciate that!
I'm getting such a kick out of watching new/younger generations experiencing such iconic performances for the first time 😁
Me too. 70/80s was sooo great 👍 nostalgia mate. Cheers from London Town UK 🇬🇧

THE? No. Matter of taste. See more players. Mark is wonderful and very talented player. Although many lists could be made of comparable players

Thanks for adding this! I also heard that Mark, knowing Terry's dad was there, told Terry to "go for it". Such a cool back story!
I think his dad was there, possibly for the first time with him in Dire Straits, pretty sure he saw him play in other bands previously(MAN, Rockpile etc)
Terry always played like that!
Don't be jealous, enjoy your time here with us. All of us will go to the other side eventually. I'm sorry for your loss, hope you have a great life, full of hapiness.

Never gets old. One of the true greats. I was at their concert in Chicago 1985. 2 hours plus of real music, real instruments, brilliant musicianship and vocals. Great concert!
I watched them in West Germany on same tour when i was in British army !

Perfect example why Live versions are my preferred way to listen to a song. More visceral. More emotionally satisfying,
I just love it when Mark looks into the camera and smiles as if what he's doing is nothing at all. He's completely ridiculous not using a pick and another thing, apparently he's LEFT HANDED. He's a genius songwriter, performer/storyteller and God bless him. 🙋♂
I love his smile. It's like at random moments he surprises himself. So authentic. I guess I'd be smiling too...
Just like Jimi and Rimgo
He earned that swagger with hard work too
@@joannasimmonds3706 Absolutely!!!
The most nonchalant kickass guitar player. He is stupidly talented and confident.
I must have seen this performance about 100 times, I never get tired of it. It’s the greatest
Now "Telegraph Road" from the same concert is a must.
Yessss
Yesssssssss

The entire concert i say
My fave. Telegraph road is the best

Playing live better than on album was a thing in the 80's, Supertramp, pink floyd and Dire straights all amazing live

So glad you did this! Lot's of joy in your reaction, try Telegraph Road from Alchemy also. Epic!
