Telegraph road reaction just finished ☑️ here th-cam.com/video/jvO0MwyCu6E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NOQqofMTIs4n_Zmu watch
Drummer is a lad from Wales in the UK called Terry Williams 🤘🏴🤘
"I want to cry, bro"
I am 60+ and I cannot tell you how much it means to see a young music lover have this reaction to the guitar playing of Mark Knopfler. ❤🙏💋
I’m just as surprised as you that there is anyone that hasn’t heard of Dire Strights.
Heard of em, alot but didn't pay any attention... until i did. A very small amount of musicians can bring a tear to my eye but these guys... just wow. Love the drummer and his energy, loved him even more when i realised we share the same first name lol. @@johngrosshans1040
mark Knopfler just a outstanding guitarist of all time sir
Indeed, it hurts hard, i feel the same... 55y.
this 'I want to cry, bro'...
🔥🔥🔥💥
The drummer is Terry Williams. He was known for hitting the drums very hard. He was on fire during this show. He is now 75 and retired in Swansa, Wales. Mark Knopfler, the lead, is one of the best guitarists in the world. This is widely considered one of the best live performances of all time.
Terry Williams is playing first time front his dad on this video. Mark told him to go nuts on drums for this :)
Should've seen me sing it karaoke style in Dubai, damn free shots got me! That was a performance! 😊😅
@@auto167 Sorry to burst your bubble but this is an internet myth, Terry had been in several bands for years before Dire Straits and his parents would have seen him platy many times
Apparently, his parents were there, in the crowd. Great performance by everyone ❤
What is even more remarkable to consider, is that this was Dire Straits' FIRST single, and the first song they recorded. Take this into account when listening to the composition, the layers, the way the lead guitar interacts with the keyboard, the complexity of the drums, the tempo changes, the build up, the solo,....... it is a modern orchestral piece, in a way that modern music regularly fails to even come close to.
The effortless way that Knopfler plays the riffs, the picking, the sheer amount of notes, the amount of bends (the pushing of the strings on the fret to increase the pitch of a note), the guitar is an extension of his soul. No other way to describe it.
Yes.
Red suit is Mark Knopfler. Guitar God. Black tank top guitar is Hal Lindes. Keyboard and piano is Alan Clark. White suit is Bassist John Ilsley. Drums is the legendary Terry Williams having the performance of his life. If you;re looking where to go next, Telegraph road from the same concert is phenominal. Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms, and a bunch others.
Tommy Mandel was the second keyboardist. It's him at the top right, dancing while he's not playing just to keep the energy going strong. He is the one in white t-shirt with curly hair. The boards are to the left and right of Terry on the drums.
He's a guitarist and never heard of Mark Knopfler??? Not likely.
To call Knopfler a guitarist is to really sell him short. He wrote all the songs, sang all the songs and played guitar on them all. He's written film scores and can play just about any genre of music. He's really remarkable.
Go with"Telegraph Road" from the same concert. Dire Straits were a great British band with album sales of 130 million. The whole band were exceptional musicians but Mark Knopfler is a giant among singer/songwriter/guitarists.
Better "Telegraph Road" from the 2013 tour.
@@agross12345 2013? Dire Straits broke up for the final time in1995/6 so how is this possible? Maybe it is a Mark Knopfler solo performance.
Telegraph Road. man!
@@simonashworth8825 👍
i will post that soon
First time here. Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
My dire straight story.
It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 p.m. . A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won two tickets via a radio DJ to tonight's "Brothers In Arms" tour show (1986) at the Boston garden and he can't find anyone to go with him because of midterms. The concert starts in about an hour and a half and these two guys both say no, he looks at me and says would you want to go? I responded in a heartbeat yes even though I had two midterms the next day. We picked up the tickets at the door. I couldn't believe it They were 6th row center on the floor. I've never been so close to a major rock and roll band for such a long time, it was absolutely unforgettable. His fingers fly, no pick... Folks didn't want to leave they came back out for a second encore song. It was really a very well done show. I didn't do all that well on those two midterms but it was worth it.
Cool!
It's s much fun to watch somebody enjoy something for the first time that I have loved for forty or so years. Still gives me chills when he's hitting those high notes.
Mark Knopfler, one of the best guitarists and songwriters of all time, the Dire Straits Abum "Brothers in Arms" was one of the best sold albums of all time, it sold over 30 million copies
That was the first CD I got back when CD’s were still a new thing.
Almost as good as Chet Atkins guitar!
Almost...❤
@@Steve-gx9ot You know they made an album together?
th-cam.com/video/43dK4edJ4XA/w-d-xo.html
That’s what we had Brother. I’m 63 and love watching you young guys enjoy what we had. Tunnel of love from the same concert, Alchemy live. Just as awesome. Keep jamming 😊
I was blessed to actually see these guys in concert back in the day. This whole Alchemy album is amazing.
Same. Saw the Love Over Gold Concert in Sydney Australia. Will Never.... Ever.... forget it.
Me too. Fantastic concert in New Zealand back in the day. Concert ticket was the same price as an album at the time.
AND don't forget Mark wrote these songs too. And hes STILL writing songs
Mark Knopfler and his band Dire Straits have a special place in guitar history. If you like it, listen live my friend. Look at the concert recordings. If you like guitar sound, you won't regret it...
Hey
This is the best live perflormance ever!❤❤❤
Best show ever the participation of the publics was amazing.
Its so fun being so old and knowing what's coming up at any given point! Watching the youngsters get enthusiastic about Dire Straits. Beautiful.
All my teenage years grew up with Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler is so great on the guitar solo.
You need Dire Straits in your life. Spread the word. Mark Knopfler can induce any emotion out of you with a guitar in hand. Loved your reaction 👍
I love seeing youngsters reacting to things we did, back in the day, when this was brand new. I will never forget seeing their performance on the Old Grey whistle test, in 1978❤
Terry Williams on drums !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Originally in a great Welsh rock band called "Man". Check out "many are called but few get up" or "spunk rock" or "bananas" or loads of their stuff. Hugely underrated.
FIRE, ABSOLUTE FIRE 🔥
This concert was live in London…
I think it was 1982
Not enough Drum beats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
83 Hammersmith odean
One of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of all time. Knopfler is a total genius. Proud he was born in 🏴!!
Telegraph Road. Do it, some concert. Amazing Keyboard amazing song amazing concert.
One second in you just know you're listening to greatness!
Every single time it blows my mind..
Consider this is 1980 - listen to how clean that live recording is! Whoever was on sound engineering deserves a medal or something.
This is a song where, once you've heard the live, beats the album entirely. Solos, drummer, the energy in the building... look how much fun everyone is having on stage - that's so cool
Mark Knopfler ("Nawp-flurr") - Lead guitar / Terry Williams - Drummer
Thanks for reminding us all about the superb quality of the sound here! I'd certainly overlooked it, like many others, I'm sure. Now, with that awareness, it's even better!
Terry Williams (drummer),,his dad was in the audience, and this was the first time he saw them play live 🤘🏴
It's great to see younger people getting to know some of the artists from the past. And Sultans of Swing? One of those performances you are always disappointed when it ends.
The GENIUS that is Mark Knopfler wrote the words, music, arranged it, sang it and played his guitar as only he can. Most of his early work, his own experiences.
Everything from this performance, is from Mr Knopfler.
1983 unbelievable really....
WOW, I forget I am old. I was at that concert, Alchemy Tour. Your reaction as priceless as mine in 1981. Knophler is one of the greatest guitarists to live. This is from their debut album, you got another 9 at least to go. Check out "the notting hillbillies" a Knophler side project. On the same album is Tunnel of Love with the carousel waltz intro, will blow your fucking mind
they can play around with the song because everyone in the audience already knows the song and loves it
Best live concert ever performed. I became fan 35 years ago because of this song (hearing it drunk at a party lol)
Mark turned to look at the drummer as he was building it up to a frantic pace..unbelievable
I am so blessed to have seem them live in 1986. They were a phenomenal band and their concert was ABSOLUTELY stunning. No opening act, just magic for 3+ hours. So glad you enjoyed their work. One of my favorite bands ever!! I still listen to them on a regular basis. Keep digging, there are many, many, many super songs from them. They always move you.
Mark on the guitar. Pure talent with his 3 finger style of pickin. Iam 83 and still enjoy this band. Pure talent
What a wonderful Show. Mark Knopfler is exceptionally talented - I know this about 40 years. His way of playing the guitar is unique. And the others are great musicians too. The drummer is crazy.
It makes me smile when people discover dire straights
Well done.
..Historical performance!
According to Mark this is a thing that actually happened. One rainy night he was wandering around South London & came on this fairly empty club with a big hand playing. At the end of the night the band leader announcing they were the Sultans of Swing. & so one of rock's most memorable anthems was born.
One of the best live performances ever.
Should really follow this with Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb live Pulse concert 1994, another absolute EPIC guitar player.
Smiling so hard at you dancing to the outro solo !
I worked in a sewing factory when this came out back in the day. They usually let us play rock in the afternoon because it increased production. When yhis song came on production went down because everyone had to bebop along with it. Sped us up when it was over tho!
That piano player is the number 1 player in the band there as theres actually 2 on stage, well his name is Alan Clark and has 5 rows of keyboards to play, one of witch is the piano. I saw a live concert in Sydney Australia where he had to handle 9 rows of keyboards on his own. Hes one of the best.
Haven't seen such an enthusiastic reaction in a long time, lol 🤣This is why I watch reaction videos 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing and keep checking out Dire Straits. "Telegraph Road" live from the same Alchemy show is a blast too. Cheerio🐝!
Loved your reaction. Anything from this Alchemy concert is fire. Looking forward to more.
SUBSCRIBED. 🤟😁
Thx
Dire straights are no BS bad ass musicians who came out of London England in the 1980's and are still out there playing and getting people excited to see them play. It is too good to see new people get turned onto this good of music.
Hmm, not disagreeing about how great they are, but, as a northerner, I have to remind people, Mark Knopfler is from Newcastle-upon-Tyne
@@karengray662 Hmm,Mark and David were born in Glasgow then moved south to the north.
Brothers in Arms live from Nimes 1992 (On the Night).
So pumped you discovered Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits through this Alchemy Live performance of "Sultans of Swing." One of my fave guitarists and bands!
And if you are still interested in discovering other greats, here are a few you will not regret checking out....
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble:
"Texas Flood" (at the El Mocambo, 1983), "Voodoo Child" (at Austin, 1989), "Riviera Paradise" (studio album), "Leave My Girl Alone" (at Austin, 1989), "Life Without You" (at the Capitol Theater, Passaic), "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love," "Mary Had A Little Lamb" (Austin), "Couldn't Stand The Weather," "Pride And Joy" (Montreux, 1982), "Dirty Pool" (at the Tornado Jam), "Love Struck Baby"/"Rude Mood" (at Daytona Beach), "Tin Pan Alley" (with Johnny Copeland), "Look at Little Sister (with Jeff Healey at one venue, and also just with Stevie and the band at Austin with a string breaking and a guitar swap without Stevie missing a beat), "Goin' Down Slow (with Jeff Beck), and a wealth of other performances. Fantastic music videos of theirs, too... such as "Cold Shot" and "Superstition." And a soundcheck (captured on amateur video) where SRV wipes the sleep from his eyes to come blasting out the gate like a bull at rodeo. Hardly a mere soundcheck. More like a mini concert with no warm-up at all!
Another artist is Steve Marriott (first with The Small Faces, then with Humble Pie, and also solo). Try "Itchycoo Park" with the first band; "Black Coffee" with Humble Pie and backup singers The Blackberries, recorded live for The Old Grey Whistle Test program; and a much later solo performance by Marriott of "Five Long Years." Incredible vocal pipes, and he was no slouch on the guitar.
I can't forget to mention Tom Jones either. A six-decade career and still going. Check out his 1970 "I Who Have Nothing"; 1969 "Long Time Gone" collab with the band CSN&Y, a duet of "Raise Your Hand" with Janis Joplin, also in 1969 on his TV show; songs and performances like "Carrying A Torch," "If I Only Knew," a cover with John Farnham of AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock And Roll)"; and Tom's impromptu performances on The Voice UK where he's been a judge and coach for some time (you can find TH-cam compilations of his best moments on the series, whether singing solo, or singing with another of the judges, like Jennifer Hudson, or having an off-the-cuff duet with a contestant. Tom's album two years ago shot to No.1 on the UK album charts and a song from the release charted high on the Billboard 100. Time hasn't dimmed Jones' voice, charm, or swag.
Subbed so I can tag along on your journey. Omigosh... there's Steve Perry and Journey, too! You are gonna be a busy man.😅
You are so right bro! They PLAY rock music! They simply rock it! DAAANG
..... &, its over 40 years old!!!!! This was their first record, and, they were pushing it as their demo, when they were getting started!!!! Awesome band, I was lucky enough to catch em when I was your age!! Go search for some of their other stuff, you will love it!!
I saw this band play twice, and I saw the solo concert of Mark Knopfler twice as well. I picked up their first album just by chance when I was in a record store when I was 18. It was newly released and I played it so many times I wore it out and had to buy another one. I bought their next album and the next and then they came to town in 1981 or 1982, 4 years after the first album. Tickets might have been $35? Incredible show. I was a foot off the ground when I left. I didn't want it to end. Then they had the Brother's In Arms tour and I went to that in Vancouver where I'm from. Another epic show. I'm an old guy obviously compared to you but I wouldn't change a thing. I have been their biggest fan forever. There isn't a throw-away song on any of their albums. Even Mark's solo stuff is so great. I've seen him in concert as a solo artist. The concert at Queen Elizabeth Theatre was legendary. Listen to Dire Straits first album. so many great tracks. Wild West End is such a well-written song. Lady Writer off their next album, Communique, what can I say about the guitar in that song. Skateaway in Making Movies. I can go on for hours. Great band, great unique sound. So happy the newer generations appreciate what I have been a fan of from the beginning. Enjoy. Most music now to me is painfully shitty. Drake? Ugh. But that's a generational thing. My parents hated my music, asnd so it goes. I suggest you listen to Rush. Another fave band of mine. Tom Sawyer is an epic track. I love Genesis as well. Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was a double album and I listened to that a lot too. Carpet Crawlers is such a great song. Too many bands and songs to list for me. Enjoy these 70's and 80's bands. 'Real' music. Dude.
The whole group are phenomenal they are all exceptional musicians, Mark Knofler makes the guitar seem easy to play, he doesn't use a pick and this makes him a unique guitarist with a different sound, thanks for your reaction to a great band. 🇬🇧
Hardly unique. John Etheridge phenomenal player will play extraodinary licks with just his thumb. Not rock but try Isaac Guillory. RIP.
Great reaction! Thanks! Red suit is lead, indeed 🙂Mark Knopfler. This was the Alchemy tour in '84 and they were contracted in 1977. Mark Knopfler is one of my personal top favourite songwriters. This really happened when he walked into a pub to shelter for the rain (same goes for Money for Nothing. Check that story and remember the time period back then with the real MTV). IMO Knopfler is the very best guitarist ever for many reasons. And this performance is one of the (In my oppinion) three greatest all time (Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb @Pulse 1994 live,. The live version of Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil from the "get yer ya ya's out" album - 3 minutes insane solo by Keith Richards and Mick Taylor. And this one). I don't know about the audience . May be some vips in front and plebs in the back? , but Terry Williams (drums) had his dad for the first time there at a live show. So, he wanted to impress him, and well, he did. He started uptempo (compaired to the studio version, which is good indeed, but this performance was insane) and Mark Knopfler has no difficulty at all by picking up some extra tempo, improvising 70% of the solos, using his strat as a Banjo, Timing is SPOT ON, Not a single miss on a clear strat, and even then it just looks like he is doing his groceries on an Saturday with all the time in the world. Terry is a freacking monster there at the drums, absolutely killing it. But Mark Knopfler is just scary.... It didn't even looked like he needed to put in some effort. I think he only showed 50% of his capabilities there.... EPIC Performance
Well done young man!! Reliving 40 years later to a familiar reaction many of us experienced.
Song itself is 46 now. I'm 47, ouch.
Their Tunnel of Love performance, from the same concert I think, is something you might wanna check out too.
Consider yourself blown away. I’m 74 the same age as Mark, seen them twice back in the day.
watch/ear all this concert...Fantastic show !!!!
best song by them and Mark is a magician on a guitar
Now you need to do Telegraph Road and Tunnel of Love from the same Alchemy Live concert. Tunnel of love has the best instrumental outro of any song ever in my opinion. 5 minutes of guitar perfection. Continue to be astounded 😊 Also if you want to check out something else with a phenomenal guitar solo then React to I’d rather go blind by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa live in Amsterdam. This will blow your mind 💥
I will second the outro on Tunnel of Love!
Mark is a legend. The drummer is not half bad either.
Dudes could play, no doubt about that. I remember when this album came out. It was a very cool time with a massive amount of great music.
GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER. I am glad you liked it like us….. Simply the Best. This is what makes music best
Listen to "Two Young Lovers" from this Alchemy Live album. You get the addition of the great saxophone player Mel Collins.
Telegraph Road from same Alchemy concert is amazing.
Acompanhando aqui do Brasil sua sensacional reação a extraordinária apresentação de Dire Straits.
The entire group seems to be having great fun, along with the audience. Joy!
Another great live performance was by Phil Collins, " In the Air Tonight", his iconic song I first heard on the show, " Miami Vice"
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising.
It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗
What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
Making a living like that wouldn't suck.
Goosebumps all the way, every time hearing this song👍peace
😂😂😂
Idk why you saying "well, well, well" made me crack up.
New subscriber! Like you young man! I cry during that guitar solo a lot. ❤
Marc Knopfler , vocals, I believe he wrote this, his guitar and in my family we call this our California Guitar gig… ♥️🌀love your enthusiasm awesome
Love to see you react to the Beatles “Help” live cover by John Farnham and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Loved your reaction to Dire Straits AAA+
{I saw them 3 times on their 1st tour & was in physical fight with them over %'s on the door . . . . .} . . .so as I have been playing for 40 years . .
I'll give 5 other European guitarists to checkout live - anything by:
Rory Gallagher
Alvin Lee (10 years after)
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Bill Nelson (Bebop Deluxe)
Robin Trower
All very different - but brilliant
Live music is the BEST, and this is a great one! Since you liked Hey You from Pink Floyd I'd like to suggest a few of their live songs that will blow your mind: Sorrow, Comfortably Numb, and One of These Days from the Pulse concert, and Dogs of War from The Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. 🤘🏽
For guitar fans, maybe the only thing that tops this is David Gilmore's Comfortably Numb solo recorded on Pink Floyd's 1994 Pulse tour at Earls Court.(I was there, and i'll NEVER get sick of being able to say that.)
The drummer is killing it! Way to go Terry Williams ❤
Hey love your reaction😊. Can you please react to either Calling Elvis or Brothers In Arms from DIRE STRAITS- Live "On The Night" 1993 concert. Ones a rock song with lots of little surprises at the and one is the most emotional song you could ever hear and see, respectively. All the best, cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸🎸
I love this band, one of the best in history. Mark on lead guitar and vocals is one of the best guitarists in the world. Love it. ❤️
Great reaction, thanks for letting me experience this with you.
It was so fun watching you see this for the first time. Yes, this is one of my top favorite live performances - it's stellar! They say good music raises our vibration (you can feel it when it does) and this song definitely does that!
TELEGRAPH ROAD from ALCHEMY LIVE this same concert please.
Just as good as this....
This was awesome rain!!! They really awesome band 👏 I did have a reaction for ya its in the community post because for some reason it deletes it here but awesome reaction!!!
Ok
If this is one of your first experiences of the Golden Age of rock, your next step should be an introduction to Led Zepplin! Whole Lotta Love for the classic rock feel, and Stairway to Heaven to have your mind blown!
Great reactions! Keep it going!
Loved your reaction and concert prices were low.. artists brought people in and the real money was made on buying their albums
. I'm an old guy so I got to see some great live concerts and I had very little money but still bought albums of these great artists very lucky!
Songs of my time!!! Love your reaction!!!
I love your reaction absolutely awesome
Finger pick perfection best ever. Clean sound...80s big..big!
Dire straits are the best! If you want to see another, phenomenal, live performance, then I strongly recommend Tunnel of Love from Wembley, 1985. This song is autobiographical. Knopfler met a girl when he was a teenager at an amusement park called The Spanish City. They agreed not to give each other their names at the end of the evening they left. Years later, he still thinking about her and wrote this powerful song with a poignant, outro guitar solo that is possibly the best ever in rock ‘n’ roll history.
It was that good. You're now ready to listed to Prince at the George Harrison memorial gig playing While My Guitar Gently weeps. He doesn't sing on it and he doesn't need to. He didn't show up for rehearsals and he didn't need to.
You need to check out,,So far away,,,dire straits
Bless you for discovering true music no auto tune needed pure talent
My favorite Dire Straits song is “Private Investigations,” about the singer’s introspection into his own life. Has a Wagnerian vibe to it.
Yes, yes, amazing.
Telegraph Road Same concert!! Gotta do that one!
Knopfler beats twists and turns that guitar into a crescendo that rocks you to the moon simply phenomenal performances by all 👏
Awesome Reaction their Solo is the best especially when they were in Concert
I never saw Dire Straits in concert but for other major bands of the late 1970s, I can remember paying $11 - $25. We would camp out overnight on the sidewalk in front of the venue box office to get good seats.
I am in my 50's and was blessed to be able to enjoy them in their prime. Mark Knopfler is a guitar god. One of the best of all times with a very unique style and sound. It makes me happy when the younger generations of music lovers find and embrace these gems.
you can listen to another 1000 performances from a 1000 different groups and you will be hard pressed to find one that compares to this one at alchemy. yes! it can make you cry, sing, and dance all in 10 minutes. you are right when you say us older people had better music in the 70's thru the 80's. among other things. true talent will always shine through the ages and transcend any age gaps. nice to see a young guy get hooked on the best music of any age.
So glad you're doing music again
Some reporter once asked Prince (rip) what's it's like to be world greatest guitar player....... Prince respond "I'don't know ask Mark Knopfler"
Looking back through your video catalog, I can guarantee you a wild musical discovery. You are already going in that direction.
I was there when all of this happened. Do what everyone else does on these channels and play the official music video of RUSH, Tom Sawyer, being recorded live in that cool, Canadian, recording studio, Le Studio that they used a lot for some of their best music.
