You are talking about one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived and he,s still doing it, no need for shreding and volume just beautiful feel and musicality
@@unchz In random order Mark is in my top 5 list. Also because he is playing with his bare fingers. Now that I am thinking about it: Mark is number one at my list of guitar playing, lead-singing and composer of the songs.
@@unchz Oh just stop with this crap, please. Dude literally said "one of" the best guitarists who ever lived, there is literally no need to argue, and to be frank I prefer MK to any of your three suggestions. Funny thing is a lot of it is subjective, I prefer Slash to Buckethead for example, and dgaf if BH is better technically, it's about the feel of it. "Another level", smfh.
I was at this concert in '86 & one of my favourite bands of all time. Dire Straits are one of the only bands that sound better live than studio recorded. The live Alchemy album is testament to this. I don't think we will ever see bands like this again.
a musical period where people still thought about how a song was written and performed. Nowadays it's usually at the touch of a button and they have a tune.
Dire Straits is indeed live always better than at the studioversions. Mark is a genius! I went to 2 of their concerts in the 90ies and one soloconcert. 3 of the most beautiful days of my life. I can Highly recommend their song: Telegraph road live at Wembley. A real masterpiece between their other masterpieces.
Thanx Highly for reaction to my request.. In the 80tis Mark Knopfler whas voted the best guitarist for a view times by his college's like slash Eric Clapton and many more.. ☺🤘 much love from me Jacco 🇳🇱
Hadn't heared this song in years, and never even seen this live version before.....but so amazing! That build up towards the end is just magic. And then imagine this wasn't some obscure materpiece, back in the day this was actually a chart topping hit song in several countries. Incredible.
When you've watched a few of these you'll start to notice be never seems to play the songs the same way twice. He throws in slight (and sometimes big) changes, just for his own amusement.
Such a great band Dire Straits! Iconic song and great musicians. You should really listen to Sultans of Swing live or Telegraph Road live! You will really enjoy
You like absolute perfection in a live performance? Then you should give a chance to yourself and listen to Alchemy Live. They placed the excellence bar so high that only very few bands, if any at all, got to the same level.
Still in my top 50 best songs ever... If you haven't react to Romeo and Juliet yet, please do... Use the live recording from 2016: th-cam.com/video/vyI9flHHT2Q/w-d-xo.html
The brothers in arms tour 85.Thirteen nights in July at Wembley Arena with Live Aid in the middle on the 13th.Was at both,saw Dire Straits on the 14th great band, great show, back when you could get tickets for a gig at the box office ☘
in essence it+s a Philip Marlowe story in music. mark is certainly a top 10 guitarist and it takes someone of that caliber to not just play the music but channel the emotion .
So you were 2 years old in 1985? Judging by your comments you never made 3 ! What the "f" is an electric acoustic guitar? Maybe a change in career should be considered?
Perhaps a google search should be considered. Last time I checked the numbers, my career was doing fine. Should probably research hemorrhoid cream too... May help you get rid of that butthurt...
How could I have missed this on your site?! Because at home I have all their cd's ofcouse.😁 It's magic indeed. The whole composition is. Every second you hear another note from a different instrument. So...isn't it time for the 9th symhony of rock? Their song Telegraph road. And since we are digging anyway, let's do Sultans of Swing too. Let's make a Dire Straits day! 😂 Sorry I did not miss this one. I even subscribed. But a long time ago. So let's digg further.

mark is a great gitarist but yk randy rhoades, ritchie blackmore and jimmy page are on another level. Also a different style honestly

You said it MK makes all his guitars sing, and his words are poetry

If you were there, you can pass away in peace.
I prefer the album versions

I can Highly recommend their song:
Telegraph road live at Wembley. A real masterpiece between their other masterpieces.
The album versions are of course always best
@@Io-Io-Io Yes ofcourse they are not.
Unless you don't care about hearing the drums and the pianist better.
Do trolls care about that?
mark knopfer react to mark knoplfer ????
Gutair used was a Chet Atkins Special . Mark knopfler had the teachings of the master Chet Atkins (RIP).

Dude, you LOOK a lot like Mark Knopfler. WTH?
Great live version of this iconic song.
Mark Knopfler reacting to is own music… i swear they look like twins…
When you've watched a few of these you'll start to notice be never seems to play the songs the same way twice. He throws in slight (and sometimes big) changes, just for his own amusement.
Yes and then looking like he just found out the other string is better. 😂
Such a great band Dire Straits! Iconic song and great musicians. You should really listen to Sultans of Swing live or Telegraph Road live! You will really enjoy
Yes! The ones at Wembley.
A masterpiece no other word to describe it
You resemble Mark Knopfler.
If you want to hear Knopfler smooth, listen to ",your own sweet way". Notting Hillbillies. Mark up front. Honey and cream.
Together with Telegraph Road these are my favourites.
Such a beautiful song from my teens, love hearing it😁.
listened to this and telegraph road a million times when i was doing my final year in high school back in 1995
Did the same...in 1985
This song should be listened to when you lay on a couch or bed, with a nice set of earphones on. Such a marvelous song!
If you look up smooth in the dictionary the definition will be Mark Knoflers's guitar playing
You like absolute perfection in a live performance? Then you should give a chance to yourself and listen to Alchemy Live. They placed the excellence bar so high that only very few bands, if any at all, got to the same level.
So glad someone finally did a reaction to this great song!
It is a classical (spanish) guitar :)
Still in my top 50 best songs ever...
If you haven't react to Romeo and Juliet yet, please do...
Use the live recording from 2016:

I love this song. The cd from them is in my home. I love the gitarplaying. Good band, and there music is great. This is music with a great M.

How I wish for those time to come back. Tickets at the box office for normal prices.
You got that right man, he's the guitar genius, tells a story with his music. With or without lyrics.
I love that you get these guy's and what they are trying to achieve, no pretence, no BS. Just pure music and story telling.
Wonderful!!!
Jack Sonni almost steals the show! Absolute perfection, Dire Straits live!
I love them, Mark Knofler on Guitar,
this is the greatest song of all time !!! speaks who we live with !! and around !! we are all private investigators, wake up and see your enemies
Yes Dire straits . I love it. His guitar sounds So Amazing.
I remember this one! Great music.
in essence it+s a Philip Marlowe story in music. mark is certainly a top 10 guitarist and it takes someone of that caliber to not just play the music but channel the emotion .
Should be locked up playing an acoustic guitar like that 😳🥺😵
This is music from another world.
Highly the acoustic guitar is an eletro acoustic
Check out telegraph road and sultans of swing live
This is basically a noir mystery done as a poem put to music.
its an electric nylon string guitar..sounds exactly as it is supposed to...
So you were 2 years old in 1985? Judging by your comments you never made 3 ! What the "f" is an electric acoustic guitar? Maybe a change in career should be considered?

Makes you wish you were actually present at that Wembley show.
I was actually there, epic show.
How could I have missed this on your site?! Because at home I have all their cd's ofcouse.😁
It's magic indeed. The whole composition is. Every second you hear another note from a different instrument.

Sorry I did not miss this one. I even subscribed. But a long time ago. So let's digg further.
If you loved this, you'd love the arrangement of The Man's Too Strong. th-cam.com/video/tmatuQxzF4w/w-d-xo.html
You should also listen to Telegraph road live version, great gitar playing and piano also, great lyrics
🤝🙏👏👍👏👏
It's a clasical guitar with nylon Strings.
This is the performance of the millenium, both pre 2000 and after 2000 !
Very reminiscent of classic film noir private eye movies.
You look exactly like mark knophler it is crazy😮😮😮😮😮😮
