Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark
It’s raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain’t what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
and he makes it fast with one more thing
‘We are the Sultans of Swing'

The drummer definitely understood the assignment 🎸🥁
What a really really excellent drummer is correct - too bad he’s using his talent for the world instead of his maker Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 🙏

YUP
LOL, Jesus isn't real. @@alberthamel6039
Hot!!!
Don't care what anyone else says, Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitarist of his day.
yes Sir..,
No dir ,2 off but u page I forgot@@tezlloyd
There's as no bit kommu and no players like this lot still available
Baby are you here with me?? I love you my pretty beautiful woman
The drummer dude...man that guy was unconscious. Took it to another level
Pick Withers
@@niallpbyrne Nope, that´s Terry Williams!
Love how Mark gives each member of the band their own 'space'.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Recomiendo SODA STEREO
Terry Williams one of the best drummers ever, so fast, so concise and the timing is always perfect.
This is by far the best version of Sultans ever played. Period. Full stop.
my absolute favorite
There’s not even anything to say... Just listen and cry... Dire Straits - geniuses
can we talk about the drummer !!!!!!! holy shit
I completely agree. The drummer is, like the rest of the band, something else.
Terry Williams, the drummer, was epic in this performance 👏 🙌 👌
2:30
Even Mark was like "Damn Terry, your fucken rockin it!!!"
Gingeresque. Perfect.
OMG! We were blessed to have such talent in our young lives.
One of the most powerful songs ever. Ageless. Mark Knopfler's guitar solo is something not from earth. Thanks, from Brazil.
Never gets old 2023

I want to lough and to cry the same time. Amazing, unbelievably, I love it. This was and is music.
I am 67 always loved the guitars and drums with these Dire Staits boys of the band
The drummer is incredible. Unbelievable how he is banging the drums
Knopfler's guitar is just an extension of his arm . Genius.
The drummers timing is impeccable
Best drummer I’ve heard for yrs Terry Williams
Yes indeed.... that guy is the best rock drummer I have ever heard!!!
So much so that it's an extension of his mind and doesn't even need to be plugged in ....
@@Markus-ih4gt yes I like it haha very true though , the man is an all round musical genius .
more like extension of his Mind, Immagination and Talent.
I’m 78 and listening to it now May 2, 2024, for the millionth time, that’s how good this is
Bendiciones 🙏
Great performance but do you still wait for that last few minutes? All the best. 👍🏻
May God bless ❤❤❤❤uuuuuuuu
U just a few girls away from me 😂😂😂😂😂
When Mark knopfler is playing the guitar YOU know Mark knopfler is playing the guitar 😮😳🥺 👴🏼 🎸 👌🏼
Who's still listening in 2024 ? I will do this forever
He just auctioned all his old geeetars for $11 mil, where else to see the man at work?
Timeless brilliance!!!! Awesome!!
me now im listening...
Moi tous les jours
To me this is the most perfect live performance that I have ever heard. I have been listening to this version for years and I won’t be stopping.
I still remember celebrating my 18th birthday (self treated) at their concert in Melbourne in 1983. Skipped last class in Year 12 just for their concert. They played this song of course, about almost as good as this version. I still remember that like it was yesterday.
Well skipped.
@@ruthlessgoat3702lucky you.
Cool!
Best move of your life!
The drummer is phenomenal. Such talent!
I love it when rock Gods go freestyle on their solo entirely different from original .....
John's bass is soooo vital in this song. Nobody is saying that. It gives a lot of groove to this masterpiece in the record (like in six blade knife and in the gallery).
John simply deserves more credit.
DRUMS!!! DRUMS!!! DRUMS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a feeling the 80ies were
Terry Williams had a monster night in Hammersmith Odeon. This must be a performance of his life. Absolutely insane. Incredible..
Same goes for Hal, John, Alan and Mark himself. He was never able to duplicate this performance.
I'm not diminishing the amazing guitar work but that drummer could teach a master class in his craft!
You have never lived until you have heard this version of Sultans of Swing - definitely inspirational!!!!
The absolut perfection !!! 😮😮
❤❤q 9:23
Right, this is crazy🎸🔥🎸🔥😍
The drumer is on fire
Terry Williams, Welsh rock drummer!
Don't just listen to the guitars. Listen to the drums. Awesome.
I agree !! - the drummer is playing FANTASTIC !! - he is EXTREMELY good !!
Terry Williams! You did it this time as no one!
Dire Straits were probably one of the best bands at changing volume and tempo repeatedly throughout a song and bringing out every subtle nuance in their performance. This is what live performances should be like. Even if you're not a musician, there's something that everyone can take out of seeing and hearing something unique. It also allows the players to avoid being overcome with boredom -- playing the song the same every night. It does, however, require that the band have that deep connection and know how to play together, and play off of each other. This is a clinic in how to do that. Utter brilliance!
Perfeito!
Swwĺ⁹
Wholeheartedly agree with your assessment 👍 🍻 Salud!
100% agree! They create an experience With their music
Chingones todod
The best song and guitar solo ever and still listening to it in 2024 never feel bored with it..!
same
I agree.. 😊
I concur !
ffffffff@@robertocampos9671
Dude could make that Strat really sing. Wow!
Loved Dire Straits but just in the last few months I have realised how insanely good this Alchemy version of Sultains of Swing is. The best live version of a tune ever with all band members giving their all except the drummer who was nuts!!
YOU ARE THE KINGS OF ELECTRIC GUITARS
This drummer is the very best that I have ever heard and seen! Bravo!!!!
you are absolutely right. the drummer is as good as mark. or better.
Perfect..
How he hit the skins... 😮
I heard this first when I was 31 and I still listen to this masterpiece when I'm 71. That says it all. Will always love Dire Straits!!!
78 and still listening
Terry Williams was a mighty god that night ❤cheers 🤟
Dear Lord this is one of the best live I ever listen! Absolutely fantastic!
This is one of the finest live recordings there is. Knopfler is obviously something else on this, but it's the rhythm section of Hal Lindes, Terry Williams and John Illsley that create the foundation for this version to be as good as it is.
In fact, the entire album is up there. The Tunnel of Love rendition is probably their masterpiece.
I listen to this several times a day! What a perfect performance!
@@buckachiddy W45yxuyxt3tr2
❤😮
Incredible version of this song. The whole band was on fire!
😊
And they were playingTOGETHER not trying to prove something against each other. The way they looked at each other and smiled.
There is no better version on net.
God Terry Williams was on fire superb
Musik Oscar für den Schlagzeuger🥁🥁🥁🥁
They were ON FIRE! Best live performance ever!! EPIC PERFORMANCE!! What I would have done to have been there!! Dire Straits....BEYOND AMAZING!!
standing the test of time.. over 40 years later we still jamming to this awesomeness...

This song will be relevant as long as the human species are 😅
Clásico entre los clásicos. Melodía hecha para trascender. La armonía no tiene geografía, nadie puede apropiarse de genialidades como ésta. Debería declararse patrimonio inmaterial de la humanidad. Gracias Dire Straits por este regalo que alimenta el alma y nutre el espíritu. Cali Colombia Suramerica
De aedo onig
Still a masterpiece 40 years later. I like listen to it again and again ...
C'est vrai, dire straits est un groupe, le groupe de pop/rock de ts ls tps. Merci à toi, Mark de ns faire vivre et revivre de tels instants. La génération actuelle devrait prendre modèle sur ce groupe.
mythique.
I gotta get my daily fix!
Terry is a beast on drums holy shit.
Mark is titan with that Strat.
You don't forget that keyboard guy = sensational.
Glenn Hayes Terry Williams was and is the best drummer they ever had.
Glenn Hayes This is not a strat, it is a schecter
Home base banbury
They win. Stop!
Drummers never get their credit! This man was unbelievable .
'Insane' is another adjective that comes to mind.

Williams the drums as they call him in Wales.

Yes, he really tied everything together and made the band sound really tight, especially in the end part.👍👍👍
OMG,who’s listening this beautiful live performance in 2,023.You are awesome!!!!!!
Bio je to početak. Prva dva albuma, jedan za drugim , i mislili smo to je to...ne može više nista bolje od toga.
KAKO SMO SE PREVARILI!!!!
Genije ne prestaje da niže bisere, već decenijama! BRAVO MARK...❤
This has been my favorite for as long as I can remember. This live performance is beyond being awesome. What's sad is everyone aging and things no longer like they used to be. This music keeps me young... Thank you Dire Straits and thank you TH-cam...
It's def one of the most beautiful songs ever.
2:22
One of the greatest live performances in pop/rock history. True or what? Can you imagine any modern performers doing this?
You're right. There's no way any modern artist/performers can do this live. This is beauty.
@@theakwrdguy2449 for me it's wrong I saw, and I see many bands, different than dire strait , but making great, fantastic ! live performances , Live Music will never die...
@@francksoulat It's pretty easy to say the more close to soberness artists are, the best they perform on stage. No member of Deep Purple was alloid on stage if he wasn't sober for example, there was a time for the job and time to party once the job done.
I have listened to this version at least a thousand times over the years and every single time I’m blown away.
Genio genio
I've been a huge fan of Dire Straits for years and what I think makes them a fantastic band is they are all individually great musicians in their own right. Of course Mark continues to have great solo career
So does John Ilsley he has a great band give him a listen
fantastic i love it
La colazione con i Dire straits burro marmellata e crema coffee latte Happy birthday
Happy Birthday 🎂
One of THE best live performances of all time.
Dire Straights - one of the worlds best bands and Mark Knoffler, you are one of the worlds best guitarists ever! Another great performance from great musicians
Ditto encore!

Как будто солнечный весенний Ветерок залетел .Обдал Свежестью !Новизной !Сочностью! Бодростью!Чистотой !
Whenever I listen to this song I can not really tell who plays better, all did an amazing job. Terry Williams, the drummer, plays at heaven level, not to talk about Mark.
마크노플러?
Thank you veryveryvery
the drummer rocks
The drummer, Terry Williams, is the best drummer I have ever heard. He literally sets the tempo for this cut and without him Dire Straits would only be half of what they are here. The people filming this agree due to the amount of time they spend cutting to him, something rarely done in videos. I love listening to perfection.
Try Neil Peart of Rush! Amazing drummer as well!
Maybe I don't know the history well enough. When did Pick Withers leave? (Okay for that matter, is it David Knophler still on rhythm guitar?)
@@Derickbass ....Hal Lindes on rhythm
@@Derickbass ...That's Hal Lindes rhythm guitar
@@hennagaijin100 Thanks. I guess I need to bone up on the history. I thought Mark's brother had played in the ban at one point?
Everyone in this performance is literally needing the fuck out so hard and it’s amazing. Chills. Effortless, and the fucking drummer, fucks sake, he’s destroying this song, it’s insane how good he is. Blow away and moved emotionally every time i watch this.
Mark Knoffler is one of the best gutarist of all time.Will be on MY Top 10 Best guitarist ever.. and that is EASY!
What a performance! The guitar solo is one of the best that has ever been played, but the drummer performance is also extraordinary!
Extraordinary!!
Me to also Jimmy Hendrix😅
I agree - those drums are doing serious work!
These guys are in a class by themselves - and that drummer is INSANE!!
Terry Williams underrated animal
Mark Knopfler playing the Guitar 🎸 makes everything else disappear
@@italogabriele534 drummer definitely makes himself heard it’s awesome when you put em together
Absolutely fantastic version, THE WHOLE BAND--- WOW😮😮😮
What a fantastic drummer!
The way the drummer goes mental, and the reaction of the rest of the band... Best version of this song, one of the best performances ever in my opinion.
James Toh
Yep noticed it.
Perfection captured in Time
James Toh dangerous
traveling sorow pink Dassouli what do you mean?
James Toh sa rend fou sa guitare électrique et meilleurs guitariste de tout les temps
James Toh c'est fou
10:46 minutes of perfection from every performer.
I’m always mesmerized by his guitar playing but that drummer! Take a listen to him mostly next time, my god🙌🏻
When you think of all time "EPIC" live performances there is "Sultans of Swing(Alemy live)" and Santana at Woodstock "Soul Sacrifice". The common dominator?....a once in a lifetime drum performance that takes a exceptional group over the top.
But Knopfler replaced both Hal Lindes and Terry Williams shortly after this.
@@hennagaijin100do you know why?
What a great band. The guitars sound incredible. The drummer is unreal ! One of my all time fav songs.
Don't forget the keyboarder!
Could be the best band ever. The tallent hear is ridiculous
Social Conditioning, it is all fake stuff. Alchemy live...says it all
Terry Williams best drummer on the planet
@@switch12345678He is unreal
This is literally a masterclass in rock drumming dynamics.
Drummer has a nice conversation going, please end!!
Early Dire even just on CD is awesome. Drummer I took for granted all these years. First album was the best for me, Brothers In Arms later classic. I dont know all those music type terms I just know its special. What I grew up listening too, I will leave listening too, kids today don't know Jack!!!
listen to some grand funk railroad
Terry Williams is a beast! At his best here
@@hsvgts4349 Never been one to really give the drummers a lot of credit other than in solos, but this dude totally drove that song from front to back, kudos for the rest of the band for keeping up with him, you could even see Knopfler looking back and smiling several times!
Timeless one of the few records that the live version is miles better than the studio one and to see every one thrashing their instrument to an inch of its life awesome
It's simply one of the greatest ever rock songs. Perfect, timeless. Whenever it comes on in the pub, randomly, someone ALWAYS breaks the conversation to say, "How GOOD is this?" -only for everyone to agree.
The video is a bit fuzzy, but the camera guys are on it.
Magic.
Ive been listening to this version since i was about 15( 30 years now and hundreds of times) and i still get goose bumps everytime. Surely one of the greatest solo's of all time, although its a full band effort. Just an amazing piece of music
As someone who's born in the 90's, I listen to Sultans every day before work. It's like my priming song. Sometimes I feel I missed the greatest era of music, but TH-cam makes it possible to appreciate great performances like this one
you're right. except I wouldn't say ONE of the greatest solo's, I would say, it is THE greatest solo.

@@AdolfoRufatt Grats on 80 bloke. Keep up the good work huh?
I'll forever consider Pink Floyd as my favourite bande to play live but I have to admit this is the best live performance I've ever seen
I remember when the song came out I was a little kid and I was in love with this song and doing guitar imitations with my hands...I'm still in love with the song just like then!!! Eternal music.❤❤
Cant stop feeling this one. Drummer is insane + 3x guitars + Keyboard in a perfect moment of time.
Dire Straits is one of those rare groups where I like their live versions even better than the excellent recorded versions. Here, for instance, the drummer really let's her rip, and Mark Knopfler shines on the guitar.
all the greats are better live
Wiliam Brothers In Arms 🎆🔅🎆 th-cam.com/video/lLeEYkkjUX4/w-d-xo.html
The thing with Sultans Of Swing is, most of the time this song is performed live it seems to be way better than the studio version, live version have something that makes this song extremely special.
Not the version to post that comment on
... I'll skateaway ... that's all
this is how real rock'n'roll supposed to work.
For me the crowd in the background bring it to life
its a faster tempo
Fantastici !!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭❤
Hey guys... The drummer is a beast...Terry Williams is the one and the best i love his style
I love the fact that you can see tons of different languages in the comments section. Makes me think how music is universal and touches different people from different cultures. Awesome! Great song and great performance!
Agree. Great comment. And not a beg.

No other song in my 73 years of life has rocked my soul as much as this masterpiece, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. T
Great number, indeed. I was considering Job from the Bible... He was in "Dire Straits" ... I had to hear Sultans of Swing one more time!
Maybe Just maybe R.E.M. Loosing my religion...😄😁😆
i could not agree with you more. simply amazing. i have heard it a 1000 times . never tired of it.
A song that will be eternal.
Hieno ♥️
This must be the finest live version of this song - it’s absolutely flawless✌️😎
Alan's piano part as overture in guitar solo missing here. THAT is a HUGE flaw. You can hear it at "On the night" concert. Absolutely amazing piano part.Everything else is absolutely perfect.

Knopfler was perfect and yet Clark and williams destroyed
Pure perfection on drums
Using whatever criteria, including even Mozart and the performance itself, this is, without doubt, one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
I think people in mozart’s time we’re having these kind of experinces
Mark knofler one of the most talented lead guitar/ singers in the 80's. dire straits rocks

For me this is the best version! Never gets stale. Now approaching 70yrs, difficult to find other live songs with such near perfection😎😎
Set
Yes
Yes
Completely agree
Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd live from Pulse..goosebump stuff
That drummer is on fire! Amazing. I wish I could single out the drums and hear just him. The man is totally in control.
Hes actually not. His time changes when he pays fills. He speeds up slightly. Its a no no in the drumming world.
Mark Knopfler einer der besten Gitarristen auf diesem Planet! Aber Drummer Terry Williams kommt mit Sicherheit von einem anderen Stern!!!! Unglaublich!!!
After 36 years NEVER EVER forgotten just how good this is! Tight. Magnificent! Um, WOW!!!!!
One of the hardest melodic solos ever. Full of different techniques. I don't know if anyone ever mastered this solo beside the great Mark Knopfler.
He has said even he struggles and would argue he never gets it right. But he may need to see this video before making that statement
Per me forse è il più bell assolo nella storia della musica una melodia perfetta orecchiabile è un grande chitarrista uno dei più bravi al mondo Mi dispiace di non aver mai visto un concerto dei Dire Straits grandi e super bravissimi dei veri professionisti
So blessed to have been there. Alchemy is my most loved album (double CD) since 1983. Now I am age 73.5 and this is still my all time fav. This album 'sends me'. God bless Mark. What a masterpiece and piece of magic. It will live forever. :)
👍
I'm 67, and the version of this song gets me rockin. Incredible performance. They are the "Sultan's" Don't hear stuff like this anymore. Incredible musicians! All of them!!
