#AlanClark #PrivateDancer #AboutTheSong
Alan is very humble and decent guy. And incredible player. A soul of Dire Straits for sure.
Incredible, as you say.
The transition from Making Movies to Love Over Gold was like night and day. I've always harboured a suspicion that part of the reason was the musical contribution of Alan Clark. I've always thought it a shame that this has gone unrecognised.
Alan played in making movies also.
No
Now that Tina is dead, bringing out the original version of the Straits would be the best tribute anyone could pay to this great queen who gave us so much. Thumbs up if you feel the same way!!
Thank you Mr. Clark for being a part of this masterpiece. Truly one of the greatest songs ever made.
Love these stories Alan. You should write a book 👍🏻
Oh man, you are a good soul 😊
Love your stories.. thank you
I actually think Beck’s solo on “Private Dancer” is one of the most lyrical and beautiful I’ve ever heard. I know Mark slagged it off, but I love it. I put it up there with any of Jeff’s best.
❤❤❤❤❤
On the night Romeo and Juliet. The end piece he did on that version was simply out of this world.
great story, great Alan, great Tina
Hola Alan. Tengo 56 años y,a los 4 años,me regalaron un disco simple con "Sorry susane" de un lado. Mis padres lo pusieron en el tocadiscos y, me encantó. "The Hollies" es mi grupo preferido de la decada del 60.Muchas gracias por tanto talento y por haberlo compartido. Dios te bendiga Alan!!!
Bloody love this....Dire straits wrote private dancer......."i wanna live out by the sea.." my mantra ...forget the husband and some children....Legends
As a huge Dire Straits fan, I came here because I ofcourse knew that they wrote Private Dancer for Tina Turner. Rest in peace, Tina! Rock on!
Alan's fingers make the stars in the sky sing. And Tina... well, she's Tina!
My favourite composition, fantastic Em to Major G and check the way back Cism dim to C7 waw... 🥰
Wish Dire Straits would have kept the song but just brought in a female vocalist. Or, if Mark would have recorded the guitar on Tina’s version. What could have been.
I believe Mark played the guitar on Tina´s version. He has played the guitar and written songs for at least 3 of her albums. They admire each other very much.
@@Pabzmusic jeff beck plays on tina's version. Mark called the solo on the song the 2nd worst he has ever heard lol
@@Punttipate62 I am very surprised that he was not on Tina´s version. He has written, produced and played in several of her albums. It does not make sense that he did not play that guitar solo on a song he gave to Tina. I think Jeff Beck sounded great but I am not a guitarist.
@@Pabzmusic Agreed👍
Wait...Private Dancer was written by Mark Knopfler and first recorded by DS??! Well bugger me!
Fab. I didn’t realise it was actually recorded by DS - is there anywhere we can hear that version?
Nope, I've never heard it, carefully guarded in the vaults if it even still exists. Interestingly, Private Dancer has a similar melody and timing in the changes/lyrics as the song Love Over Gold. Compare the chorus'...
@@benjaminluscombe7199 DS should’ve included Private Dancer instead of Love Over Gold. It’s a much better song.
@@timbaker4253 I don't agree...at all.
It IS Dire Straits playing it.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver He's refering to the LoG session take. I suspect it was a new take for Tina's version.
Great backstory on the song and Tina. Is the song available with Mark singing it?
The melodic line of Private Dancer chorus sounds quite like Love over Gold itself. I'm glad to be used listeng to the latter, rather than the former on that album...
The drum pattern on the verses are also like the intro of Telegraph Road. Not sure it would have worked to have had both on the album.
how comes the dire staits version is nowhere to be heard?!?
I dont think its ever been released.
RIP Tina Turner.
Great song written during the LOG sessions. Jeff Becks solo was atrocious unfortunately.
It's crazy how recent racial segregation was in the US. People weren't allowed in a hotel because they were black.. wow.
I thought he was geordie? Not another 'geordie artist' ashamed of his natural accent, Alan, you are in great company, ie, Bryan ferry, sting, Robson green, Jimmy nail(sometimes geordie, sometimes not) tim healy is still using his natural accent, good on him! You can still be articulate and have geordie dialect, yes, some can't I know😂, but c'mon lads, don't forget where your'e from🤔😊
Jeff Beck's solo sounds quite weak to me. I would be interessed to listen to the DS version one day.
