masterclass masterpiece. drummer just like ac/dc was so great and was noticed by many. but marks guitar playing is so crispy its ridiculous lol and then with his story telling voice. piano player superb great band nuff said.
Great reaction to an amazing performance It was filmed in July1983, in London at Hammersmith Odeon I know this because I was there, I was just 18 and thought this sort of performance was normal! Take a bow Dire Straits: Mark Knopfler - guitar, vocals Alan Clark - keyboards John Illsley - bass guitar, backing vocals Hal Lindes - guitar, backing vocals Terry Williams - drums Additional musicians Tommy Mandel - keyboard They were all superb, but Terry Williams on the drums absolutely smashed it! This was the encore, what a finish!
Wow it must have been awesome watching them perform live. It’s been a long time but I’m sure the memories still linger. Thanks for watching and I appreciate you ❤️
I was there too, I was 20. But I first heard Straits when their first eponymous album came out in 1978, I think it was. There was a local record shop in St Albans called Kithaeron, and I spent much of my paper round money there, so the owner knew me well. One day in 1978. I walked in and he said, "Al, just listen to this!" I put the headphones on as he played Down To The Waterline, I had never heard anything like it. When I heard they would actually be playing in St Albans, I hoarded my paper round money to get a ticket. I was hooked ever after. At the age of 60, I have seen them more times than I can remember, rather like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Yes, Dio (RIP)😢 and Pink Floyd' I think Telegraph Road is my favourite DS track, though I think the second live version of Sultans gets close. I also really like Where Do You Think You're Going?, Skate Away, It Never Rains and Tunnel Of Love. But I don't know a Straits track that I won't listen to.
Growing up as a teenager and just getting our drivers licence and cars back in the early 1980's all my friends and I would argue what was the best song, Sultans of Swing or Telegraph Road. They all said Sultans while i was the lone Telegraph Road fan, until they saw this and then they all agreed this just beat Sultans.
People who say that Sultans Of Swings is their best song have never heard Telegraph Road. One of the best songs and performances of all time.
Hahaha you can say that again 😂😂
I agree. Always my number one favourite
Could not possibly agree more with you.
