Give this man the Noble Prize for literature. Best guitarist, lyricists, and overall pleasant chap in the world. Such a humble man. Wishing MK fantastic health for many years. Thank you for letting us share your story for all of these decades.
Dear Mark Knopfler! I'm not sure you will ever understand the significance and meaning your life has been as a role model and guitarist/singer/bandleader/writer/musician/human/friend/familyman..etc etc etc...but rest assured, those of us who grew up on your music as the front man of Dire Straits will always be grateful! Your finesse and masterful guitar tones and playing as well as your wonderful vocals and magnificent writing can't be compared to any other. You sir, have given the world, the best of the best, first class act, and shining example of a compassionate, man of music. May the lord bless you and keep you. Thanks Mr. Knopfler! Thank you from the bottom of my heart....forever an American hillibilly...and loyal fan.

Cheers, man. True words. Thanx.
Mark Knopfler is, to my knowledge, one of the guitarists with the greatest musicality, with a touch, a sound, recognizable from the first moments.
He has a marvelous speaking voice. It conveys calm, peace and authenticity.
So true
I agree for sure!
Best guitarist in the world
+Yassinnus Hours and hours and hours of practice. I heard stories that he would just wake up in the morning, prepare a cup of coffee and play the guitar all day. This kind of talent and genius , - we dont see just how much hard work goes into it.
And one of the best human beings around. God bless you Mark.
tabletop581 haha so funny cause that’s my days now, hope I’ll become just half as good and I’m happy as fck
Naw
Tracker is such a beautiful album ! Most of the songs make my heart sink..... He is a True Poet.
I've been to all of Mark's concert tours since 2008, ever since I had the money to do so. I flew across oceans to watch him play and sing. My admiration for him keeps growing, I'm as much in awe today as I was when I heard the first(1978) straits' album in 1982 - it was a cassette given by a friend. Eddie Van Halen died the other day, and that must be so devastating for his fans. I'm sitting here in my living room with a drink this evening, watching hour long Mark's videos (lovely ones with brian johnson & john illsley), and thinking - it feels so good that he's around - what'll I do when someday he's not. And my short prayer is - lord let mark be with us many more years. Spare him for this planet. It needs him.
@biaora I like what you wrote. I’ve been a wicked lover of Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits since 1978.
His music continues to be medicine for my heart and soul. These videos of Mark are a gift and are so appreciated.
My sincere prayer is that Mark is healthy and doing well. 🙏🏽❤️
Peace, love & prayers,
Denise from MA
Mark is still around after all these years, and still is creating beautiful music. Legend.
True talent endures.
In 1978 was the first time I heard him and have been following him ever since. Dire Straits you could hear that J.J. Cale influence and my wife hadn't ever heard of him and she was so glad that I had discovered him as she is now a Huge fan!
What a wonderful, talented, unassuming guy he is - the world is a far better place for musicians like him.
Absolutely love this beautiful person, this genius writer singer guitar player extraordinaire.
I'm so loving this music. I'm just 15 years old but I really love the music Knopfler creates. I went to his Privateering tour as well and I'm seeing him in Amsterdam the 6th of June! Mark Knopfler, you're the best!
I have only known of Mark for a year or so. I used to be a truck driver and listen to the radio going down the road and I'd hear what I thought was Bob Dylan on the radio and I thought "boy Bob really did a good job on that song. I quit drivng a truck a few years ago and heard the "Walk of Life" and asked someone, who was that and they told me it was Mark Knopfler. So I started researching his music and was I shocked. Mark is a year younger than me and I never heard of him, so I have been researching his music and documentries and have learned a real love for him and his music and song writing. I missed a lot of his music and life but am trying to catch up now.He is an incredible man!!
that snippet with Ruth Moody brought tears to my eyes...the way he is moved by her performance....
A musician writter a speaker philosopher and... So...so much more. XX and XXI century Stratosphere and... so much more. Simply The GREATest !!!🎸
There are artists who makes you happy and artist who makes you think and take you on a journey..Mark does both of them..a wonderful album to listen to
such a humble guy. such a poetic storyteller. next to being an amazing guitar player
Indeed, what a humble and a brilliant musician! His and David Gilmour's guitar playing gives me chills everytime
I could listen to Mark talk music all day. #Legend
I really love Dire Straits, but I think Mark's music writing is just getting better. Glad he's kept the Celtic feel.
+rob poynter This album is just so enjoyable, its crazy.
his new stuff is soo great!
What a thoroughly nice man - not to mention CREATIVE GENIUS!!!!
Saw him live in 2005. The best concert I've seen in my life! Thank you MK, you've made our lives richer.
Mark Knopfler is a regular guy and yet so much more. I am and will always be a Mark Knopfler fan. It's inspiring to see someone reach their FULL potential and then continue to evolve and change as a songwriter. This man is such an inspiration to so many of us who grew up with him and have followed his amazing career. There aren't' many people to look up to out there for both children and an adults. Mark is one of these diamonds in the rough who anyone of any age can admire, enjoy, and deeply respect. His humility is inspiring. I hope Mark lives to be 100 and that he will keep making music for us all as long as he continues to be inspired. The music really is a gift. Mark you obviously have good taste in women because Ruth Moody is just fantastic. I hope to continue seeing her on your fantastic records. Guitar legend and terrific human being. Thank you for sharing your talent
Even after ALL those years, after all that he's made & done & played and been trough.. Still such a humble guy and such a gentleman. MK for life. Pure class. Thanks for uploading.
I first heard Mark play on my big brother's car stereo back in 1978 when the first Dire Straits album came out up here in Norway (by golly, where did the years go?). It was something completely "different" in the sense that here was this rock'n'roll guitar player who didn't use distortion - and he didn't even use a plectrum! In the following years I learned every solo and every little guitar fill on those first records. I've listened to and been influenced by many players since, but Mark's music has been a continuous source of inspiration to me these last 37 years.
Looking forward to hear the new album! All of Mark's guitar tones through the years have been sounded fantastic, but I must say it's really nice to hear him getting back to the clean strat tones.
I too first heard Mark and Dire straits on the car radio of a friend who was much older loved it right away been a fan since 1978 Sultans of swing
this is what music really is ! Mark Knopfler will always be a legend !
Such a brilliant performer, writer and man. Blessed we are to have him!
So deserving of a knighthood! One of the priceless treasures of the UK
This amazing and talented man has had an enormous impact on me and on my adult life. Music is always interwoven with our life's events, he has been with me through many things XX
Great voice, fantastic guitar player, and a continuos evolution as a composer. Better and better like a wine, producing fantastic songs.
Thank you Mark,
As we travel on our journeys, you have shared with us more of your love and music which we will listen to and remember together.
I respect him so much. A genius. Getting better with age.
guitarists & song writers don't get any better than Mark.
would soooooo love to see him!!
3:25 When Mark sang "Welcome To London Town" I suddenly heard a voice in my head saying "Welcome to Sadiq Khan" and then there was this profoundly sad and painful moment that almost brought tears in my eyes thinking: London was indeed a great city once! Alas...
was that when Boris was running things ? (into the ground) .
Khan is a sick POS. I pity you Brits at this point, I truly do.
I love Mark Knopfler songs. I have to listen to a couple before going to bed! My favorite albums are Brothers in Arm and On Every Street! My wife loves Shangrila!
I love to hear Mark talk about the writing process. Let it happen, that's the only way. That's how I work. It gets me into big trouble sometimes. Then I have to get myself out. I still say, it's the only way.
Mark, you are truly amazing...I love hearing you play, or sing or even just talk about your music...you have so much passion with it that it is inspiring to other artists, like myself...not just musicians which I am not...I had such a big time crush on you when I was a 10 year old little girl and you were still singing for Dire Straits...and re discovered you and remember why I loved you as much as I did...what a talented musician/ songwriter you are... you are an original and there aren't many of those left in the world...you are one, Mark, I wish could live forever...thank you for all you have given...the world will not be the same when you leave
Just recieved my Tracker CD in the mail. This "track by track" commentary by Mr Knopfler makes such a difference when listening to the wonderful songs. Thank you Mark Knopfler, and may you keep writing, recording, rehearsing and touring for many many more years. And be sure to make a loop through Texas when you do!!!
You're in for special experience. This is the best album I have heard in years.
What a man!! Just a genius
Great little film...good insights...funny though...my favorite song on the CD is "Long Cool Girl"...and he doesn't comment on it...fabulous story-songs...he's not slowing down in any way...and for those who want more rock...go to a concert..he can still let it rip....
it's just awesome to listen to my most favorite musician (for 30+ years now)….especially in a video like this…where he's just opening up his soul, and talking in a way that we never really get to hear. Love that old Martin…a lotta miles on that beauty.
I can't explain the influence this MAN had on me
communiqué - i learned how to play guitar then
beatles pink floyd and Mark
they are ALL always #1 for me
On and on we go... Can there be a better artist for producing interesting characters and stories to moving and engaging music? There's so much to learn from his songs too.
BB has died.. so had Lennon.. so had Richard Wright ... I am afraid when MK will die .. How I would be able to
continue.. the greatest loverboy guitarist ever ever .
Mark played Dublin Ireland last night - I was there - excellent show
Those stories give another spin to the songs when you listen to them .
I'm like 15-years behind on Mr. Knopfler's music because I just not ready to go beyond the Sailing to Philadelphia album--but I will!
Mark makes me wish I had taken lessons many years ago. Now I just enjoy relaxing and listening to his music through my Beats Studios. Beautiful.
Ah Mark, you genius. I love you!
Thank you Mark.
Breath taking and tear droping
An exceptional songwriter, he & the band have qualified as performing my favorite release of 2015
Musical genius
Absolutely amazing Mark Knopfler is a true legend from an 18 year old like myself you are the man i look up to, mark i will always follow your music to the day i die my father got me into dire straits when i was a boy and i have not stopped listening to you since keep producing these great melodies time to pick up my dads old guitar i think :)
and bless your father too, hope he's doing well.
Glenn your words echo my life exactly...I'm just a tad older at 33. I once used scotch tape to reattach the magnetic tape on my dad's Alchemy Live cassette...just so I could hear that solo in Sultans of Swing over and over. Still one of my favorite live albums ever (Alchemy). Truly some one who preserves and carries the highest honor of musical integrity. Cheers!
Brian I did that to tape from some cheap cassette I'd gone down to San Francisco during Haight Ashbury days and taped some AM radio stuff that had not yet come up to Seatlle- got back and - oh how cheap, so sad LOL. I began to seriously become an AM dx'er (haven't grown out of it lol) - hopefully you can afford CDS now! rotfl
I have been following this man since I was boy and love this album. I wish he would come back to Oz and play the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Thank you Mark for all your great music. Long may you continue.
I could watch this guy talk music all day! I find it mesmorizing. He must be an introvert, like me. He may not always say much, but there is alot going on in his mind, & it's captivating & enjoyable when he opens up. He can say so much with so little words. Fascinating. I have been a fan of Mark Knopfler since 1985, when i was 10. Whether it be Dire Straits or solo stuff, i still love it.
The best guitarist of our time and one of the best songwriters also, right up beside Bob dylan
could not agree more!
Amazing album!!! Loved it!
Congrats MK, Guy, Glenn and the rest of the crew!
Wonderful... Thank you, Mark Knopfler, that's all i can say.
Tracker one of of my Favorites by Mark
Mark K..................into the studio and for Tracker.............this guy has been a hero to me for decades........thank you for this and i cant wait to go right out and to get my cd copy.... i hope there is vinyl :)
Would have loved to of heard more about Silver Eagle. It’s my favourite of all his songs. (a position not to be taken lightly!)
No matter what he plays it always sounds very musical, I kind of strive for that rather than flashy riffs, feel very inspired watching this to keep writing & recording more tunes no matter what happens as it is the very thing that keeps me going and relatively sane, it's all about enjoying the journey..thanks Mark for your many years of enjoyable inspiring music from one musician to another !
This is just gorgeous. I wish he did this track by track thing always, it helps me a lot understand the messages of the songs and then they just kind of make sense. It makes me understand the process of thinking of this genius. It also helps me with the guitar when I try to play them later. I love how he tells stories related to the songs and anecdotes. It just makes me see the song differently. Magnific. Thanks a lot for the work you have done for music through all this year's. Greetings from Spain. Hope you do concerts again. I never had the chance to go to any. I was too young.thank you
Bravo, you're my inspiration and started picking up the guitar because I grew up with your music. You are a legend and will always be!
The reason I started to play guitar is called Knopfler. Thank's mister, you're the greatest with Sir Eric Clapton
After listening to MK's music l immediately feel better. Has worked perfectly for 37 Years.🌾🐾🎸
Grazie per le emozioni che mi dai....
the best of the best ever
His songs made part of a lot of brazilian people's life. I thank him for this. Oh, God.... How i would like to be back on that time. Dire Straits: one of the best bands ever....
We are fortunate that MK is still writing songs. We cannot expect the same guitar tricks and skills as before for obvious reasons that he is too old now for that but nevertheless his signature feel is always there and thats just enough for the listeners. Long live MK!
Cheers.
have you seen mark play lately? he is a more proficient guitar player now than 25 years ago,,
having seen Bruce Springsteen go through softer phases and still come back with some hard rocking songs...and as David Bowie's recent work also was pretty strong...i think Mark Knoplfer could still write something rockier...and it be good ...and it still be enjoyable for him....i don't know...maybe he got bored with doing the Dire Straits stuff as he has gone through a lot of different phases...but i think for sure he has it in him to write a great rock song..if he wanted to of course. :D
thesunreport
...and i do love the Beryl song :)
thesunreport Mark Knopfler and Bruce Springsteen are my favorite musicians hahaha I must say that I love Bruce's stuff, but I love too Mark's stuff, both are fantastic! But they are different anyway, Mark is happy with this kind of music, and we have to admit it. Long live BS and MK!
yes i agree....but with MK i get the impression that he almost doesn't believe in himself as a 'rock star' anymore....i like the way he writes in different styles like country...but i hope he hasn't forgotten that he is definitely allowed to rock it up if he want's to...i for one would like that :D
I love Mark Knopfler! But this album was so sad.
So enjoyable to listen to Mark shedding a light or two on his creative process. Such talent and never had the big ego...the best types of people. A fan since '78 and imo gets better as he ages.
a musician to admire !
Thanks so much for sharing your insights into your wonderful songwriting, Mark.
Beautiful film! Thanks!
So thankful for the ripples of your life and music, Mark.
When i think about how i buyed my first Dire Straits tape in 1989, obviously it was "Money For Nothing"...and now Knopfler is still making music. I know a lot of bands from every genre, but nothing accompanied me for such a long time.
Mark to me is probably the most gifted musical artist caught between two centuries. I originally started to listen to him when I tired of another artist and also got depressed over the state of world affairs. My streaming service claims to have between 60 and 100 million tracks but when I get my monthly review it always comes back mostly Knopfler and Dire Straights. I decided to listen to music rather than pay attention to the news. (Best decision I ever made.) Then I started to track the lyrics of each of the songs and became amazed. Why would an artist from Scotland and raised in England write a song about a highway that runs between Detroit and Toledo? Or about the Mason Dixon line? Then I read the lyrics to Why Aye Men and realized that I knew some of those economic refugees when I was stationed in West Germany in the late 70's and early 80's. Thank you Mark Knopfler!! P.S., "Yer no Chet Atkins though..." :)
what a great dude
You Sir are a treasure and a true artist.
My Hero! Thank You.
Parabéns pelo seu lindo trabalho maravilhoso te amo te admiro muito, você é um gênio
I love this album, perhaps the best ever by Mark Knopfler.
i think golden heart or shangri-la are a bit better but tracker i still an amazing album
my usual favorite artist
What a genius. Can't wait for the album to drop - hopefully tonight! What a truly class act Mark is. Bravo.
love his solo stuff much more than the dire straits stuff! go mark!!
You seem so humble. I almost enjoy listening to your stories/narrative/interviews as much as the music.
Uma pessoa, uma personalidade que contribui com a sua verdadeira e boa música. Obrigado!
the action on the strat is crazy high, great for slide
MARK, you and your philosophy runs deep, like you said, let it happen, your gifted,!!!!
YAY. Another album from the maestro.
I so enjoy these videos with mark talking us through and giving us his perspective on the process...as a singer songwriter i relate to many of the things he talks about. I feel his emotions and joy about the craft. That kindred feeling is rarely understood or reciprocated simply because i dont often mix with other songwriters, but with youtube i get to do it with the best of them. Love your work fan, always been a great fan
Please Mark , Come to Europe in 3 years. I want to hear you at least 1 time in Warsaw, Poland .
Wonderfull, delightfull album.
Siguiendo tu consejo lo he adquirido estimado Pablo!
You have made a difference, a wonderful difference! Thank you!
tracker is such a great album!! one great song after another
It's wonderful, hearing Mark talk about the process of creating his songs is expressed not only with his words but also with his body language ... You don't get tired of seeing him😌😌😌😍😍
C'est dingue il me rappelle mon oncle pourtant il est pas guitariste
MK is a living god
This guy's thumb plays guitar better than I ever will
