Incredible. I'm 73 and I started listening to Dire Straits any many years ago, and will continue to listen the rest of my life. I will request Brothers in Arms and Telegraph Road for my final music choices. MK is simply the best musician I have heard in my life. Thank you Mark for your genius and the emotion in your music.
Mark has retired now and I wish him all the best.Time to have a rest.He has made millions of people happy with his music and songs.God Bless him always.Thank you Mark.❤️He is still producing his music though but no more concert's.He is 72 years old now.
Yes what we forget is we wear out as we get older, one video I've seen after this one he shakes his wrist after playing this. I'm 75 now and pain is normal, it's hard work playing that guitar with a wrist that hurts. I don't think he'll stop completely, but no touring and concerts, it's probably his life. Jeff Lynne's the same he's still performing and he's 74, doesn't look a day older than when he built ELO. Both worthy of Knighthoods and I hope that comes true before its too late. I've just rediscovered both on here after many years and I listen with my ear buds and dance in a fashion 😅 Long may they reign with good health...
Probably this is the most divine version of Telegraph Road... what remains is that schools of music must include this performance into their study books... its' not only the guitar playing, listen to the piano, the drum, percussion, everything there is simply divine. All sounds coming out from the instruments, take you to somewhere you've never been before... a million thanks to Mark and his brilliant band....
MK is 60 here,....... Iam still awestruck at his style & beauty.....I criedwhen he announced his retirement....... Don't believe or let him!!!!!!! I am so sad. love you Mark ,,,,,,,,,,till I die......... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Le Morceau de référence de Dire Straits. Toujours la même signature du Meilleur guitariste au monde. Merci Mark Knopfler. Thanks for all you have done ! Adel Houdrouge.
I have been listening to guitar players for well over 50 years. NONE equals the magnificent finger-picking Mark Knopfler, including BB King of my youth! None!!
This song - and the way Mark Knopfler performs it... it has always been and undoubtedly will always be my most favourite piece of music. A precious work of art and a beautiful, deep story at the same time. Thank you.
The song is a journey. For man who only set out to be a musician and not a star, MK is just fantastic. A true master of his craft. I'm so glad that I am not the only one who appreciates musicianship of a higher order.
The brilliance of Knopfler on full display. At times his performance is so magically understated that I have to look twice to confirm to myself that he is actually picking. I have not long left on this world, but I intend to spend an inordinate amount of it listening to Mark. He sends my soul.
Undoubtedly that Sir Mark Knopfler remains the "Shakespeare" of music of all times... what a brilliant performance, a classic symphony of modern times...
This is absolutely sublime. An artist who never stops to mystify an audience with his amazing songwriting, musicianship and by far his virtuoso guitar. Genius
does it get any better........smooth, a dear friend turned me onto Dire Straits, way back in tha day. loved them and him ever since. especially as we've matured, i find him sooooooo comforting. he only has a few of his caliber.......and they make it "Look" so easy. SRV RIP, Mr. "Slowhand" himself of course thats the great Eric Clapton, the Late George Harrison & Roy Orbison. there are others. so soulful and they don't have to jump around, and get all 'CRAZY' to express themselves. Watch Roy in 'a black & white Night' he barely moves but he's rockin it big time and knockin it outta da park. I feel that Mark's mellowed like the finest wine, esp since he's been out on his own.....beyond Dire Straits. Keeps me coming back all the time.
Today's Oct 23/'19. I've been listening to MK for 3 or 4 hours. I'm going' down Telegraph Road again... This one resonates with me, but then they all do... One I start, I can't get enough... Yeah, he's older, but W0W, he's still got it... I'll be doing this again b/c I can't stay away...
I had the pleasure of seeing Mark when he was in LA last September. I am very late coming to enjoy his incredible musical talents. What a master! I still am a Deadhead but now i am a Markhead.
We were in LA at the time...would have loved to see him but the ticket prices were a bit steep for me. Should have gone into debt though really...it was the chance of a life time. Love his music and have the feeling he's a top bloke.
I remember after Jerry died, the brutal gaping wound that some of us thought could somehow be healed by the rest of the band carrying on with another brilliant guitarist in Jerry's place. This was before all the versions of the dead, dead and company etc etc that were to follow. I remember the top contender amongst plenty of us at the time was Mark Knopfler - not that he would have wanted/ taken the gig - but he has that same special kind of touch. We are lucky to have been born at this time in history - such treasures we have found.
This guy is a legend, he can't even stand up with his guitar anymore, he has to sit down. But HE IS HERE SINGING and playing in pain obviously but here he is doing it so everyone can enjoy his music. This man is what music is all about.
I love your country Thomas.... especially your coffee shops ;) it is so Sad That this year Mark Retires ..... but we have a surprise for you all ......
One of his best performance for the past 5 years. Simply awesome Guitar playing. Bravo Mr Mark Knopfler and bravo to his amazing Musicians!!! This song is a gem!!
I am surprised how great musicians can play such energetic songs (especially the solo in the end) without much movement and sitting still. must have been really hard but he makes it look effortless...This is what greatness is all about..Thanks mark for making my life better😊
First saw Dire Straights in the late 1980 at Julies nightclub in Newcastle upon Tyne,where i worked on the door,they were unknown just about and burst into song with Sultans of swing,took over the club and ive loved them ever since.
An absolute classic. The interplay of guitar and piano; the range of dynamics - and of course MK's soulful playing. I do prefer this to later live versions where he uses a more distorted guitar - something about how the purity of the clean sound works better for the song IMO.
The line I like best in this is "Then there was a hard time, then there was a war", and in 11 words Mark has summed up the depression of the 1930s and World War 2. This is a subtle, emotional history of the founding, the rise and the post-industrial fall of the American mid-west in a little over 10 minutes. Just brilliant.
6:48 on . . . bitter and heartfelt lament on the results of globalization, that grand betrayal of the American Worker . . . and this is what got DJT elected, go figure.
Det här skulle dom som gör ” musik” till melloeländet lyssna på....MUSIK när det är som bäst! Mr Knopfler är en gud som gitarrist och låtskrivare! Såg Dire Straits 1985,och är förbannad på mig själv att jag missade honom i Stockholm senast....welcome back! I’ll promise to be there!! 👍
I agree. Im sure the good Lord will put another talent as well as a kind soul . not to replace MK bc its impossible. But someone new and he or she will belong to new generations
Trop top je kif concert en 1979 à la Villette à PANTIN whouaououuu bisous à vous tous merci 🙏 belle époque premier concert briquet lumière 💡 folie très beau souvenirs mémorables

Truly one of the greatest ever. So much emotion and atmosphere you're hooked for life
Amen and Amen……
I'm completely agree, truly the best ever
I feel so too
Could not agree more. Thank my lucky stars to have seen him 3 times in about the past 40 years. Long live Mark Knopfler ! ✌👏💪🎸😃

Está es la música q le da vida a mí hermano durante su enfermedad
Privileged and deeply honoured to have been able to attend his concerts in the last 10 years each year all the way from Mumbai(India). Thank you MK.
This is the best live performance of any song I've ever seen.
Probably this is the most divine version of Telegraph Road... what remains is that schools of music must include this performance into their study books... its' not only the guitar playing, listen to the piano, the drum, percussion, everything there is simply divine.

Never too late,I play telegraph road three times in a row every day in a week, great music by mark
SIMPLY SOME OF THE BEST CLASSY, FINE AND HARMONIC MUSIC EVER!! GOAT!!!
I have been listening to guitar players for well over 50 years. NONE equals the magnificent finger-picking Mark Knopfler, including BB King of my youth! None!!
Thanks Dad (rip), you've shown me what good music is. MK my idol now and forever
Extraordinario Concierto con un sonido fantástico Muchas gracias Miguel Angel
Phénoménal solo final - ca joue profond et vite , chaque note est soupesée , le tout est à fort pouvoir évocateur ....
magistral .....
Esse homem é inconfundível, inesquecível... E melhor músico do planeta. MK ❤💃🇧🇷
A masterpiece of a great great great genius !💕
Thank you so much Mark !🙏🎶🎶👋👋💕
Cuando Dios hace musica es para la eternidad
No flashy musical gymnastics. No contorted expressions. Just stunning music.
This song - and the way Mark Knopfler performs it... it has always been and undoubtedly will always be my most favourite piece of music. A precious work of art and a beautiful, deep story at the same time. Thank you.
The song is a journey. For man who only set out to be a musician and not a star, MK is just fantastic. A true master of his craft. I'm so glad that I am not the only one who appreciates musicianship of a higher order.
Of course, I was a teenager when the Dire Straits was borne. Their music has impact my life.
I so agree. What a guitar God is Mark Knoffler. Just mesmerizes you.
he has been my guitar hero since 1977
I am so Sad that this year Mark retires..... I did many years ago...... but we have a surprise for you all...... Regards Terry
Not so sure about that. I think he had in mind to be a rock star and progressed into a magnificent musical genius. Love it.
174 thumbs down. How can this be I ask? Marks music reaches down into your soul. And creates kindness and LOVE.
L'envolée lirique finale, est époustouflante..you are the BEST musician MARK ✌✌🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇵🇹
Makes me happy, gives me goosebumps for +30 years now.
The brilliance of Knopfler on full display. At times his performance is so magically understated that I have to look twice to confirm to myself that he is actually picking. I have not long left on this world, but I intend to spend an inordinate amount of it listening to Mark. He sends my soul.
He is really brilliant
Beautifully said Bullwinkle. I'll see you there Brother...
Same !
Me too
Bullwinkle.....you said it for many of us old fans !...this particular song hooked my forever
This man is so stunningly talented - always has been - magnificent performance!
Extraordinaire !!! J ai toujours autant de frissons en écoutant ce titre après Alchemy tour 83
Undoubtedly that Sir Mark Knopfler remains the "Shakespeare" of music of all times... what a brilliant performance, a classic symphony of modern times...
The Greatest of All Time 🎸🔥my favorite from DS, goosebumps even after all those years❤️
This is absolutely sublime. An artist who never stops to mystify an audience with his amazing songwriting, musicianship and by far his virtuoso guitar. Genius
Knopfler is special, he adds laid back vocals to beautiful guitar work, its captivating.
does it get any better........smooth, a dear friend turned me onto Dire Straits, way back in tha day. loved them and him ever since. especially as we've matured, i find him sooooooo comforting. he only has a few of his caliber.......and they make it "Look" so easy.

Pure Genius doesn't get any better than this!
I've been listening to many Knopfler shows, i think Cordoba 2010 is one of the greatest.
me too
One of the best songs ever written, how come we never get tired of listening to mark knopfler songs
The most beautiful guitar for the best guitar player!
What a beautiful take! The sound is so clear! Thanks!!

May like it or not, but Mark Knopfler is one of, or is the best Guitar Players in the world
Que gran video, que gran músico,simplemente MARK KNOPFLER
This guy is a legend, he can't even stand up with his guitar anymore, he has to sit down. But HE IS HERE SINGING and playing in pain obviously but here he is doing it so everyone can enjoy his music. This man is what music is all about.
His songs are like keys.. each one of them to open another treasure of memories. God bless your soul Mr. Knopfler.
Greetings from the Netherlands
I love your country Thomas.... especially your coffee shops ;) it is so Sad That this year Mark Retires ..... but we have a surprise for you all ......

Excelente presentación de MK !!! muy buen sonido y canciones
I am surprised how great musicians can play such energetic songs (especially the solo in the end) without much movement and sitting still. must have been really hard but he makes it look effortless...This is what greatness is all about..Thanks mark for making my life better😊
he had back pains during this tour so that's why he had to sit
First saw Dire Straights in the late 1980 at Julies nightclub in Newcastle upon Tyne,where i worked on the door,they were unknown just about and burst into song with Sultans of swing,took over the club and ive loved them ever since.
Tuve la suerte de estsr en este concierto, y aun se me ponen los pelos de punta. Impresionante.
A Masterpiece, plain and simple.
i love you so much mark ,, sins i was 14 years old at 1975 ... same age as you now...and hope for living as well
And I have loved him too, 45 years now x
kocham go najcudowniejsza gitara na swiecie myslalam ze bedzie w polsce slucham go jak mialam trzynascie lat kocham
Di una bellezza incredibile. Grandissimo chitarrista.

@@bobrisse9823 one of my favourites of MK
Maybe my favorite version of TR Mark is like fine wine he just gets better with age. Great stuff many thanks!
Totalmente de acuerdo con el grito que le lanza un cordobés del publico .......ole tus cojxxxx
Awesome!! just a fantastic musician...lost for words!..
Impresionante. Yo estuve allí, en el ruedo, muy cerca del escenario. Vaya sonido del 10, hombre... Gracias por el aporte.
absolutely fantastic... each and everytime !!!
If you are on the road - in this weather !!! this is for you all.
Happy Monday...
Can't agree more!
great tune... he does it the BEST
Ayfer Ahmed Like his collaboration with Dire Straits too!
Agreed..
Ayfer Ahmed super music makes driving a pleasure.
This Pensa... What a sound!!
Also an incredible orchestration here...
I wonder who Mark Knopfler was the opening act for at this concert. Must be hard being the next band on stage after this? Astonishingly good
Straordinario 😃😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Det här skulle dom som gör ” musik” till melloeländet lyssna på....MUSIK när det är som bäst! Mr Knopfler är en gud som gitarrist och låtskrivare! Såg Dire Straits 1985,och är förbannad på mig själv att jag missade honom i Stockholm senast....welcome back! I’ll promise to be there!! 👍
ES verdad cada dia que pasa gusta mas escuchar a este hombre que talento de la musica.
el mejor guitaristi del seculo 20!!!
Absolutely the greatest guitarist/ songwriter ever. This is Beethoven / Motzat/ Shakespeare/ Steinbeck rolled into one.
😍♥💙🧡🤎💜😘🥰
When I was working on air at an FM station in Melbourne long time ago, this was my "get coffee and have a smoke" track, hehe. Life and glorious music.
Unfortunately we all get older and one day we will leave. Some should live forever to share their art for many, many centuries !!!
Psalms 37:9-11, 29 and Revelation 21:4 goes right along with that thought.
I agree. Im sure the good Lord will put another talent as well as a kind soul . not to replace MK bc its impossible. But someone new and he or she will belong to new generations
Thank God for forums like UTube to capture great music. for eternity.
I dreamed of seeing Mark since 1985. I finally saw him 2019. Heaven on earth. The dream lives on in happy, joyous memories. CO
We come back
There are no words....absolutely spectacular ♡♡
Excepcional,y el publico muy muy participativo.La clase vamos...
Madre mía cómo suena ese "Telegraph Road" con los años. ¡¡BESTIAL!!.
Que buen sonido tiene! Enhorabuena por la grabación. Es perfecta!
Fabuleux solo à 9mn 28 .... a fort pouvoir évocateur comme toujours
Best musician on the planet! End of.
Le meilleur guitariste au monde , une musique unique, une légende

Thank you and all the best.
