Wow Bre!!! Remember I requested this like a year ago?! 🤨🧐🤔😂👀 Oh boy! This is one of my favorite all time live performances!! Great song, great band! Terry Williams also tears those drums up!! 😳🥁🎸🔥🤘
Yesssss he did Big Pete!!! This here is another one of those blocks that just recently went thru🤦🏽♀️😂🤘🏽..it's crazy in these YT streets, but I'm here for it! Great request as always!!!!💙🎸
This is a rare group because everyone of the group members are brilliant musicians, Mark Knofler is in my opinion one of the best guitarists in the world, he doesn't use a pick he does it all with his fingers, thanks for your reaction
There is a great clip with Brian Johnson of ACDC and Mark Knopfler talking about how the lights in smaller venues used to make you sweat like crazy (they don't so much these days, they're LEDs), and so Knopfler started wearing a Bjorn Borg set of tennis sweatbands, and Johnson started wearing his signature newsboy cap. It's great, because they're both Geordies and they have the same accent, and the same sort of upbringing.
Bre i totally loved seeing you rockin ' to Dire Strats. Im a Brit & ive seen Dire Straits twice live and wasn't disappointed whatsoever they were AMAZING.this was a Brilliant reaction to this band. By the way you look Absolutely Gorgeous !!!!!
Great reaction Bre🥰🥰🥰Thanks for this. And remember Mark Klopfer plays the guitar without a pic!!!!! Just his fingers on both ends that makes those sweet sounds!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! So says Stephen in Austin Texas!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🤘😎🍸
What makes it even more amazing is that the Album Alchemy Live was recorded on one night, there are no overdubs it is just as it was. Probably one of the greates live concert albums ever. Loads of great music on this album. Also remember mark Knopfler has made 9 solo albums to date, plus loads of film music.
Absolutely! Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour, the best guitarists ever. And with this live album you can also see the genius of the drummer. Incomprehensible!
Yes! David Gilmour! The “Pulse” concert is simply amazing!! I was confused at who the drummer was here but looks like Terry Williams, and seeing it Live he also gets a TEN!! Wow love it!! 🔥✌️
When my first child was born in 1980,and we moved to Canada from Ireland we used to call him the little sultan of swing,this is how old this song is and still amazing, the little 40 year old sultan is still doing well living in London.
The sweatband thing. It might be a good idea for a young rock star to start wearing one early for the male pattern baldness he might experience later in life.
love youre reaction " All things be " they done a great live version of this at the Nelson mandela birthday concert in 1988 from wembley stadium in london its epic and from the same show you have to react to " ROMEO AND JULIET " the saxaphone work is just pic also " 1988 live from the nelson concert " Dire straits featuring Eric clapton
@@Foreverbre93 " Trust me All Things be you have to react to " Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits live from the Nelson Mandela. Concert in 1988 from Wembley stadium in London the studio version doesn't even compare to this live version "
A great way to end the show. The great Hank Marvin of The Shadows and one of Mark Knopfler's guitar heroes growing up (hence the red Stratocaster) used to sometimes join the band on stage just to play that tune with them. The Shadows recorded a version for one of their albums.
The fact that this ex Meatloaf, ex Rockpile genius is clearly singing Knopfler's solo whilst drumming en point shows that he was and is a great musician.
My Dad died a few months after this came out (he was 45) but being a kid of 14 myself at the time, my jaw dropped at this old man lol rolling down the windows in the car and cranking the radio when this tune came on. All the more I love him and miss him.
For me the best live perfornance until Pink Floyd´s Pulse. "Alchemy", the best Dire Straits Album ever. I love sitting outside in the garden on summer evenings, drinking a cold beer or a good wine and listening to this album. Greetings and love from Germany. Listen to "Telegraph Road" on this Album. Unbelievable.
This is takin from in my opinion the greatest live album all time , alchemy live , most live album are overdubbed in the studio to block out mistakes, alchemy was recorded and released as is , no overdubs which makes it even more remarkable and proof of the incredible musicians
I've been playing guitar and piano for fifty years and I learn new things every day. Music doesn't care what era you play it in, and it doesn't care who plays it.
This is the definitive version alright. There are a lot of great moments but my favorite is near the beginning at 04:30 when Mark and the bassist look back at Terry Williams the drummer after he plays those fills.
Bless all of you reactors for going through all of the headaches you bump into trying to post reactions for us. I know it must give you a bunches of frustration. Dire Straits is one of my favorite bands. Their songs are so unique. They take you on a journey when you listen.....especially with headphones/earbuds in. Thank you for going the extra mile for us, Bre. Hoping you are feeling good... you are looking good! Hugs to you and Mr. O..... Take care and be well. Peace.
This goes to Dire Straights + especially to you Mark. God has blessed me in this human life. I played in 3 different bands in which one , l played with a guy that played for Jerry Lee Lewis, another l played with a guy that played for Johnny Paycheck , and one more guy l played with , he played for Holly Dunn. Now l said all of that to say this , they were all pro's , that for sure , but l love the way you play , love your style better than any I've ever heard + l would give anything if it were possible to set down face to face and learn how in this world you play so awesome. I remember when I was younger l would hear "Sultan's of swing" you would sing , "listen to guitar George , he knows all them fancy chord's , l always wondered who it was that could play so fantastic. You're awesome Mark ❣️‼️. Thanks to TH-cam that makes it possible for me to watch and listen to you anytime I want to. God's blessings to all. Don Conrad
Bre, now you get why us "old farts" love Dire Straits, their concerts are an amazing experience, pure joy, for the love of music, this is engraved on the essence of our being I'm so thankful I grew up in the UK during this fantastic musical era.
What a band , Mark Knopfler is a genius on guitar, like David Gilmour he has that instantly recognisable tone . He also produced and played on a few Bob Dylan albums and tours. Although he moved to England aged 7 he is actually Scottish, born in Glasgow. Nice reaction as always
No, he is not Scottish. He may have been born in Scotland, but his mother was English, from Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England. The locals are called Geordies, and he has a Geordie accent. His father was Hungarian Jewish, and his surname is pronounced Noppfla.
Oh Bre ya gorgeous lovely thing hehe, this is such a great live rendition of a classic song and I am so so glad you reacted to this. Mark Knopfler is a super guitarist and as much as he has been lauded in musical awards I still think he should be more..
On one of there tours The Brothers In Arms tour I had a 3 week vacation so I spent it following them. I saw them 3 times in Canada then 2 times in the states.
However great this performance was, being there in that audience was even better. Mark Knopfler is my all time favourite artist & Dire Straits were my all-time favourite band. Gotta say Bre, watching your reaction to the performance was priceless. Thanks for brightening up my day. x
Bre: "I wanted to go full circle on this chair about 4 times"😂😂😊😊 *Have you listened to Telegraph Road and Romeo and Juliet, from the same Alchemy Live concert? Gorgeous too.
Many great songs and beautiful melodies. Check out Love over gold melody. Too bad the only song that is aired in the US on classic rock is Sultans Of Swing studio version. Terry Williams definitely a giant but didn't feature in brothers in arms studio album except for Money for nothing intro which was awesome anyways.
Wow Bre!!! Remember I requested this like a year ago?! 🤨🧐🤔😂👀 Oh boy! This is one of my favorite all time live performances!! Great song, great band! Terry Williams also tears those drums up!! 😳🥁🎸🔥🤘
Yesssss he did Big Pete!!! This here is another one of those blocks that just recently went thru🤦🏽♀️😂🤘🏽..it's crazy in these YT streets, but I'm here for it! Great request as always!!!!💙🎸
Thanks, BigPete S!
@@cnatview Of Course!! 😎
Is the second guitarist David Knopfler, or had he left by this time?
@@TheoZoffrok David had left, this was Hal Lindes.
Even after 30 years this song still gives me chills every time listening to it! Peace and good work
This is a rare group because everyone of the group members are brilliant musicians, Mark Knofler is in my opinion one of the best guitarists in the world, he doesn't use a pick he does it all with his fingers, thanks for your reaction
The drummer is amazing!!!
Terry Williams - his dad was in the audience and Mark told him to go all-in. To make dad proud. :)
Guitarists, organist, the drummer ...oh my goodness, the drummer!
Oh my goodness is right! They are awesome!
The drummer is a guy called Terry Williams & he is proudly Welch & the sweetest guy you could ever meet.
There is a great clip with Brian Johnson of ACDC and Mark Knopfler talking about how the lights in smaller venues used to make you sweat like crazy (they don't so much these days, they're LEDs), and so Knopfler started wearing a Bjorn Borg set of tennis sweatbands, and Johnson started wearing his signature newsboy cap.

You're so freaking sweet!!! Thank you so much!!
Great reaction Bre🥰🥰🥰Thanks for this. And remember Mark Klopfer plays the guitar without a pic!!!!! Just his fingers on both ends that makes those sweet sounds!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! So says Stephen in Austin Texas!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🤘😎🍸
Just amazing!😊
Telegraph Road, It Never Rains, Love Over Gold... they are a a goldmine of incredible music trust
Mark Knoplfler plays guitar solos that you hope wont end. Seen him play four times and Dire Straights twice. He is a genius.
You're so lucky😊
Listen to Dire Straits 'Brothers in arms'.....it will bring you to tears !.
Saw Dire Straits in concert back in the day, was definitely something checked off my bucket list. Bre, great reaction, love your channel.
That’s awesome!! Wish I had seen them Live!! 🤘👏
Thank you for your support!!!!😊
Great Terry...great....
What makes it even more amazing is that the Album Alchemy Live was recorded on one night, there are no overdubs it is just as it was. Probably one of the greates live concert albums ever.

Masterpiece comes to my mind❤
No matter how many times I've watched this video! I still say WOW!!
Terry Williams is amazing isn’t he?? He drives this song with such precision!!😊even he knows he nailed it!
Nailed it!!🔨
@@Foreverbre93 I completely agree ..
One of the few times the live version is better than the studio version
Road trip and Dire Straits on.. Nothing better...
Mark Klopfer is the guy with the headband!! He’s a genius!! Shreds the guitar like very few! A LEGEND!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Absolutely! Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour, the best guitarists ever. And with this live album you can also see the genius of the drummer. Incomprehensible!
Yes! David Gilmour! The “Pulse” concert is simply amazing!! I was confused at who the drummer was here but looks like Terry Williams, and seeing it Live he also gets a TEN!! Wow love it!! 🔥✌️
Yes, Petey NY, he is.
He shreds without even using a plectrum.
*Knopfler
Music brings us together, great reaction from a beautiful lady.
Thank you so much Phillip💙
“So, is there going to be a good guitar solo? I hope so…” Just wait, baby. Strap in for a crazy ride.
"There had better be something wicked about to happen"
"We got ya 😉"
Hehe! Right!😊
It was 39 years ago! And still unsurpassed!
When my first child was born in 1980,and we moved to Canada from Ireland we used to call him the little sultan of swing,this is how old this song is and still amazing, the little 40 year old sultan is still doing well living in London.
Blackfoot - Highway Song live from Zurich is another great live version too
Amazing fingers no pick....genius.
Queen live aide concert is a big 🎯.
11:23 the moment you became a head-banger...love it!
Peace & Love from Germany :D Best regards Mam you rock :D
"Is there gonna be a guitar solo?"
You have no idea.
Love too see you react to money for nothing from these guys
Great reaction girl!!
Thank you!!
Telegraph Road Alchemy live from the same concert is also amazing!
as you rightly commented...these guys....were artists....no other way about it..
Great reaction, you are a beautiful person.
Thank you so much Davis! Likewise☺️
The sweatband thing. It might be a good idea for a young rock star to start wearing one early for the male pattern baldness he might experience later in life.
Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists going. Always just enough, never too much!
One of my favorite lives ever!!!!
This is rock you can dance too
The other live performance that's great IMHO, is Fleetwood Mac Rhiannon
Ses la plus belle époque de la bonne musique
Mark taking Page, Clapton, and Urban to school.
Wonderful as always.
Great!
Mark wears a sweatband to hide the fact that he is losing his hair at a young age. He is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest guitarists!

Lead Guitar in red - Marc Knopler
If you like this song you should really listen to "Telegraph Road", it is Mark Knopflers masterpiece with Dire Straits
I think Mike Reno of Loverbow wore one in a vid or 2..
Brilliant
You got to do telegraph road
Sultans of swing alchemy live
haha is Mark Knopfler Related to John Mcacenroe ore are they just fan both ways
Che gruppo i diare strates!
do you have a video reacts to reo brothers cover of sultan of swiing
Check out telegraph road and tunnel of love live
Sultans of Swing, the backstory: th-cam.com/video/lrCpVoMIWxw/w-d-xo.html
Id never norm say check studio howev it allows y to catch the smooth a lil better ..just sayn
Do what you have to do. Pause a second.
If you have any energy left cheque out Going Home same album last teack it's 100% instrumental
A great way to end the show. The great Hank Marvin of The Shadows and one of Mark Knopfler's guitar heroes growing up (hence the red Stratocaster) used to sometimes join the band on stage just to play that tune with them. The Shadows recorded a version for one of their albums.
Mark is a finger picker as he plays guitar without a pic.
British music at it's best. We're poets not artists. Williams on the drums is a machine of a man.
Last 3 mins of Terry Williams' drum-playing is just fire
All of his drumming was on fire!
No joke. This whole band is tight as can be.
The fact that this ex Meatloaf, ex Rockpile genius is clearly singing Knopfler's solo whilst drumming en point shows that he was and is a great musician.
My Dad died a few months after this came out (he was 45) but being a kid of 14 myself at the time, my jaw dropped at this old man lol rolling down the windows in the car and cranking the radio when this tune came on. All the more I love him and miss him.
You will learn Grasshopper, no matter how old you become, your soul is always 17, especially when it comes to music.
@4:25 Terry Williams smoking that drum set, and @4:31 Mark Klopfer Realizing it and a priceless reaction!! 🤣🔥
My favorite moment in the song, just musician digging what the other musicians are doing
@The CCP is a parasite Yup!! Gotta love it!! 💯🍻
Knopfler 😉 Very likely the name has German origins, and it means something like "he who works with buttons" 🙂
Drums on this version are crazy good!
For me the best live perfornance until Pink Floyd´s Pulse. "Alchemy", the best Dire Straits Album ever. I love sitting outside in the garden on summer evenings, drinking a cold beer or a good wine and listening to this album. Greetings and love from Germany. Listen to "Telegraph Road" on this Album. Unbelievable.
Agree with your comment in its entirety perfect summer listening,top down cruising the coast road music ripping 👍
This is takin from in my opinion the greatest live album all time , alchemy live , most live album are overdubbed in the studio to block out mistakes, alchemy was recorded and released as is , no overdubs which makes it even more remarkable and proof of the incredible musicians
This is why Eric Clapton calls Mark Knopfler the lead guitar player "Easy" !
That drummer earning his pay. Great stuff!
Great reaction!
Thank you!!
I get chills every single time. I feel this song in my bones
Me too bro
I truly miss the era people mastered an instrument, and really played music from the soul
Absolutely!
I've been playing guitar and piano for fifty years and I learn new things every day. Music doesn't care what era you play it in, and it doesn't care who plays it.
@@davisworth5114 But instruments are veeery rarely used in todays radio music. Pop is pretty much 100% computer generated
If you think this is good you should react to Telegraph Road from the same concert Alchemy Live. It's my favourite live performance of all time.
Totally agreed David, Telegraph Road, is the standout performance IMHO.
Love Dire Straits was lucky to see them in concert lots of times in the 80’s my 2 favourite guitar geniuses is Mark Knopfler & David Gilmour
This is my favourite version and i've listen to it the last 30 years. everytime i see Terry Williams at 8:28 i feel happier than the second before 😅🙌🙌
This is the definitive version alright. There are a lot of great moments but my favorite is near the beginning at 04:30 when Mark and the bassist look back at Terry Williams the drummer after he plays those fills.
Yes! I love those moments
This is my favourite version and i've listen to it the last 30 years. everytime i see Terry Williams at 8:28 i feel happier than the second before 😅🙌🙌
10:30 FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS !!!! ( last warning )
Completely different, and IMHO better version, than the original with drums insanely good!

They are the bomb!!😊
Knopfler was a top-5 or even top-3 guitarist of his era.. and that included some mighty names. He ranked right up there with the best.
What a band , Mark Knopfler is a genius on guitar, like David Gilmour he has that instantly recognisable tone . He also produced and played on a few Bob Dylan albums and tours.
Although he moved to England aged 7 he is actually Scottish, born in Glasgow. Nice reaction as always

I have always loved the style Mark Knopler has.l would love to hang out with you for a few days Mark. We'll do that when we all get to heaven !
Brilliant reaction Beautiful Lady i love how you just get right into the music loved it !!!!!!
i love how they all "check in" with all the others. "still on same page? having fun? lets go"
Oh Bre ya gorgeous lovely thing hehe, this is such a great live rendition of a classic song and I am so so glad you reacted to this. Mark Knopfler is a super guitarist and as much as he has been lauded in musical awards I still think he should be more..
Thank you!!😊
thanks babe!
Big pete always makes great suggestions
Yes he does! So grateful to have him around here on the channel💙
Mark Knoffler is Pure genius, but Terry Williams is light years ahead..a beast on the drums, he's unbelievably GOOD!!
Thank you so much for considering the artists and the songs. That always keeps me coming back.
Thank you always for your continued support 💙
Lead singer & guitar player's name is Mark Knopfler ........1 of the greatest lead guitar players in the history of R&R :)
On one of there tours The Brothers In Arms tour I had a 3 week vacation so I spent it following them. I saw them 3 times in Canada then 2 times in the states.

Great Concert. It was from 1983 - Yup! Mark Knopfler (red coat) is NOW 74 years old. And can still play incredibly.
Awesome drummer , oh, great guitar to👌
There you go - some of the best guitarists of all time! Drumming not too shabby either!
i love mark..but kudos to drummer😍😍
Bre: "I wanted to go full circle on this chair about 4 times"😂😂😊😊 *Have you listened to Telegraph Road and Romeo and Juliet, from the same Alchemy Live concert? Gorgeous too.
🤣🤣♥️
He is easily in my top five favorite guitarists. Plus in my opinion he got better looking with age!

well Sheena Easton had a sweatband but with an exercise outfit
