+XUAN NUONG LAM The joys of a guitar solo seem to be all but lost! I was born too late to enjoy this music at the time, but thanks to my Dad, I love it!
These guys really had a lot of fun playing together. You can plainly see that on Clapton's face. Mark, Eric and the bassist all got into the keyboard riff. Loved the way they were grooving with it.
I was lucky enough to see this combo play live back in either 87 or 88 in New Orleans. Of all the times I've seen Clapton this was hands-down the greatest show. He and Mark compliment each other amazingly. It's one of my fondest music memories.
***** no need to get your knickers in a knot. people just have different tastes and preferences. that's what makes it interesting. fancy calling someone a fool just because they don't know something - that is foolish
Billbill80s excellent rant. not only is Knopfler a far more accomplish musician and player, he also has great charisma and personality. Clapton's playing gets boring real fast and is way too predictable. "What is his big song to date, Tears in heaven, for letting his kid fall out a window while he shot up heroin..." priceless.
When I saw that there is a video of Clapton and Knopfler playing "Cocaine", I already knew that I was going to listen to it over and over again. I did not expect that I would do it for the keyboard solo though!
Mark Knopfler is underrated. I think he is up there with the handful of best guitar players of all time & well Clapton....we all know he is one of the greatest :)
my dad met eric back in 1969.. he's a great down to earth guy.. easy to talk to and funny man... eric still is my dad's guitar hero and he's 71 years old now...
This was just the beginning of Clapton's rise back to greatness. He's looking and sounding much healthier in this clip than he did in the early-to-mid eighties. After years of boozing and a string of mediocre albums, Eric came back strong in 1989 with the "Journeyman" CD, and he's been producing great music ever since. I saw him live in concert back in 2004, and he was on top of his game!
Well - fact is that Clapton and Knopfler have, and always have had, the deepest respect for each other. As guitar technicians, each of them could easily duplicate, note for note, the other's finest work without too much practice. Neither of them have a desire to engage in one-upmanship - that is just a fantasy in some people's heads. Aside, from that - their styles are completely different.
what restraint mark knpfler showed with the guitar work!!!! eric and mark is a match made in heaven!!!! they both share equal respect for each other which is a rare commodity with musicians this day and age!!!!!
desde españa, que recuerdos inolvidables,la musica que te hace volar al pasado ,guao,saludos a esa generacion de los 80 que escuchamos misica de la buena .
Ich habe peter gabriel das erste mal als sänger der band genesis live gesehen und war fasziniert. Als er genesis verließ brachte er als erste single sullsbury hill herraus und ich ging zu seinem ersten konzert, dass er damals noch in west berlin gab. Der auftritt von ihm war schon eine sensation. Er kam nicht einfach auf fie bühne sondern ging durch die sitzenden wartenden konzertbesucher singend auf die bühne. Er hatte silberne kontaktlinsen , so das seine augen wie blitze wirkten. Damlas war ich 15 jahre alt und es war ende der 70er jahre. Vor corona habe ich peter gabriel hier in berlin wieder gesehen mit einem Symphonie orchester. Das Publikum war in meinem alter, also wahrscheinlich auch fans der ersten stunde 😊. Was soll ich sagen der mann hat es noch immer drauf. Das konzert war ausverkauft und sein geld echt wert😊👍. Sorry um das zu schreiben reicht mein englisch einfach nicht
People argue about whether Clapton is truly "great" or "overrated" (as if there's nothing in between) as a guitarist. But he's seriously underrated as a singer. Great, great voice.
This is not a Clapton song. It's JJ Cale's , the most underrated guitarist/song writer ever. Influenced Knopfler and post 80's Clapton who cut covers of many JJ songs : Cocaine, After Midnight, They Call Me The Breeze,Same Old Blues Again.
In so many videos you comment this. Yes it´s a J.J. Cale song and Eric covered more songs of mister Cale. He respects the man and his music. They made an album together, he made a tribute album when he passed away. Look at crossroads guitar festival where they play together how much Eric respects J.J. Cale.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! Now that's more my style, absolutely LOVE his tone on that one, it's got some effect on it but it lets the amp breathe it's wonderfully full tone!!! Good call bro, thanks for the vid suggestion, just added it to my favorites!!!
Credits end and tune starts at about 2:00. This is brilliance -- cannot thank you enough for promoting it here. If you were ever moved to post a version at a higher bitrate (if your source material's good enough to support that), it would be even greater.
Man, that's a tasty lick Knopler is playing through the intro.
Eric Blair sounds a bit like "a song for sonny liston"
+Eric Blair did he play "wolf whistle" when the ladies were introduce? :)
+deepfieldspace It's actually "No can do" :)
+Eric Blair me suena a No can do
Jorge Camilo jiktfeber
I love it, this song never died, and so does the music by Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler.
+XUAN NUONG LAM The joys of a guitar solo seem to be all but lost! I was born too late to enjoy this music at the time, but thanks to my Dad, I love it!
Written by JJ Cale, but agree! He recently passed away and Eric made a tribute album with Mark featured.
XUAN NUONG LAM
Man that groove the band is playing at the start is killer. Mark is killing that feel big time :) Love it
Wow, you're a youtube veteran. Love your channel, man!
That will transform into a lovely song called No can do from Knopfler's amazing 1996 record Golden Heart
the little riff of the band with knofler in the presentation of clapton was epic
LOGAN PARKER It's from his song No Can Do :)
patrik streng thanks
Glad I could help
Mission accomplished my friend
They call me the breeze
There really are no words to describe the enormity of Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler sharing a Stage 🎸🎸
I love how mark knopfler is playing the intro for 'No Can Do' one of his own songs doing the intro :D
This number just sends chills down your spine!
It does not matter if Clapton is better or Knopfler is better. They are both entities in the guitar pantheon. Together...it is simply amazing.
1:50 Mark Knopfler can whistle to girls with the guitar.
TRue!!!! hahahah that's sooo great!
No egos competeing. Just two GREATS having a good time playing together 🎸🎸❤
Cookin' with grease!!
My two favorite guitarists playing together, simply perfect.
If you people like the intro, look up "no can do" by Mark Knopfler, its on the album "golden heart".
I was listening to the Golden Heart the other day and was like "oh that's cool that 'Cocaine' song is on here!" then realised it wasn't.
Nathan East on bass....one of the very best.
he's a legend
True
Two Masters... Slowhand and Mark Knopler
These guys really had a lot of fun playing together. You can plainly see that on Clapton's face. Mark, Eric and the bassist all got into the keyboard riff. Loved the way they were grooving with it.

Knopfler is owning it from the start.
well said dude
I think Knopfler wins just by being the least 80s.

***** I think your post needs more lol's
Simply the most powerful guitar player on earth. His soul streams to his fingers. Amazing.
Yeah Mark is great.
Eric Clapton is alright too.
When I saw that there is a video of Clapton and Knopfler playing "Cocaine", I already knew that I was going to listen to it over and over again. I did not expect that I would do it for the keyboard solo though!
This is awesome! Clapton, and Knopfler are both amazing guitarists.
Mark Knopfler is underrated. I think he is up there with the handful of best guitar players of all time & well Clapton....we all know he is one of the greatest :)
OK, before someone wants to correct me & say, "Clapton is not 1 of the greatest, he IS the greatest." Well........I agree he probably is !
As Eric might say, don't be silly... there's Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker and Guitar Slim just for starters.
Guys, have you ever heard about Joe satriani?
Jo si
Francisca prats soler No tots entenen el catalá aquí(bueno, jo sí, però, la majoría parla anglés)
To me, this is the best live version on TH-cam
my dad met eric back in 1969.. he's a great down to earth guy.. easy to talk to and funny man... eric still is my dad's guitar hero and he's 71 years old now...
7:02 , east and knopfler grooving in sync! epic!
You're right, my friend. The Knopfler/Clapton world is an amazing one.
Classic !! Awesome !
Two of the greatest guitarists together on the same stage. It doesn't get better than this.
Die 2 besten Guitaristen der Welt zusammen, was will man mehr?
:-))
People can like whatever they want to like, and many likes both Rock and Hip Hop.
And... Classick rock will never die!!
jesus that line up is killer
Drums~The Great Steve FERRONE! 1 of Tom Petty & The 💔er's 2 Great Drummers! Best's, dtf🕴POGO Or Dance!
There is no one to compare to the late, great, beautifully unassuming genius that was J.J. Cale. Miss you J.J.....
im 63 years old love the sound but hey i love all music bring it on
2 of the best
maybe the best rendition of this song ever
the stuff theyre playin the first two minutes is just brilliant! cant get enough of that
That intro riff by Mark..
Call me the breeze............ The perfect Song!
i honestly give it a 10..
This was just the beginning of Clapton's rise back to greatness. He's looking and sounding much healthier in this clip than he did in the early-to-mid eighties.

so smooth Clapton
No one can play Knophler off the stage, but he can play with anyone.
so good.. timeless!!
They're both awesome in their own style and together they make magic !
Alan "Hurricane" Clark - made my day
What does this reference?
this is what i call a guitare who talks !!!! respect from Algeria to this legend !
best of the best
2 of the top 5 guitarists of al ltime !
Still snording to this in 2016

In the beginning mark plays the riff from his solo song "no can do", which was released 1996, 8 years later!
What is that intro ???? Genius
Pinkman it is from Mark's song 'No Can Do'
+patrik streng oh thanks I was searching that too
what restraint mark knpfler showed with the guitar work!!!!
eric and mark is a match made in heaven!!!!
they both share equal respect for each other which is a rare commodity with musicians this day and age!!!!!
This is my Music!
desde españa, que recuerdos inolvidables,la musica que te hace volar al pasado ,guao,saludos a esa generacion de los 80 que escuchamos misica de la buena .

This is EPIC, Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton two of the best guitar players in the world!

Even if you are so far away, you are inside me...good night my love
Awesome of you to remember. Sooo overlooked.
That god damn voice. Holy shit
People argue about whether Clapton is truly "great" or "overrated" (as if there's nothing in between) as a guitarist. But he's seriously underrated as a singer. Great, great voice.
People that think he is overrated are just jealous, and yes he is underrated as a singer.
He is a modest, attentive player at heart which is why he can completely fill the room even when not playing.
aujourd'hui MUSIQUE MUSIQUE, ça fait du bien
Énorme version !!!
How about the keyboard playing of Alan Clarke
This is such a great piece of time.
mark knopflar wolf whistling at them girls xD CLASS
pas des guignols!!!!!!! les gars, magnifique et merci pour ces bons moments
Man they make a good couple. Knopton?
+nocab28 Clapfler?The kids would have tentacles for fingers.
mark's little gitar groove jam in the beginning is awesome, i love both the sound and rhythm of it.
This is not a Clapton song. It's JJ Cale's , the most underrated guitarist/song writer ever. Influenced Knopfler and post 80's Clapton who cut covers of many JJ songs : Cocaine, After Midnight, They Call Me The Breeze,Same Old Blues Again.
Didn't Clapton also do an album with Cale? I seem to remember one. But, it might just have been an album of mostly Cale songs.
They cut only one album together just before JJ Cale died. The Road to Escondido.
Thanks. Thought that they had, but, couldn't remember for sure. Let alone remember what the title was.
Clapton in Tokyo 1985
In so many videos you comment this. Yes it´s a J.J. Cale song and Eric covered more songs of mister Cale. He respects the man and his music.

I love this performance
Remember! Never do coke! Only Pepsi!
***** But if you have ice, then you need something to put it in. Pot for example. And I don't mean marijuana.
But you need a girl to have that with, say Molly?
and I don't mean ecstasy.
lots of these nasty jokes in mother russia ?
WONDERFUL performance. Tks.
1:21 "Im gonna say something...nop, nevermind."
Drummers just gotta love this Bad Boy on tha drums...Man, he has got it goin ON~
Love his phrasing ...just immaculate and so soulful~~~
Who needs drugs when you can get high on music?!
Kim Pallett Buen comentario amigo.
Kim Pallett apparently the musicians that make the music.
Right, but sometimes both together could be a really nice coke-tail ;)
So much effortless talent, all bases well and truly covered. Wonderful.
I hate cocaine, I just like the way it smells
you probably hate originality too
You talk about originality under an Cocaine video... funny.
the joke is old i know, but who cares
Thiago
Which joke?
your life
Two of the greatest together .....it dont get no better!!
Good song STFU about cocaine. The song rocks!
this is so good. honestly, also the beginning when eric clapton introduced the band. this is musiiiiic!!!!
idk if id say mark knopfler was part of "clapton's band"
Would be an insult to Mark, I'd say.
This mussic gives me chills!! Grew up listening to this. THE REST IS IN THE BOOK !!😉
To bad Jimi was long gone ...
Jimi so better
IM only 26 and this was and still is a great song bring back the 80a
She don't like, she don't like, she don't like, Meth.
Timothy Cole not it chief.
there's no one like clapton and will never be. this guy was blessed.
Excellent performance by all !
???? Touche pas à çà !!!!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! Now that's more my style, absolutely LOVE his tone on that one, it's got some effect on it but it lets the amp breathe it's wonderfully full tone!!! Good call bro, thanks for the vid suggestion, just added it to my favorites!!!
he has a receding chin
Amazing and beautiful live version.
Amazing perfomance, that intro is fantastic!
