We as a society should give more praise to such storytellers, the joy he brings every time he picks up his instruments for us to enjoy is beyond words. We have lost some greats and no one filling their shoes, don’t get wrong lots of talented people out there but some people just have the gift.
The music industry is no longer designed to find talents like Knopfler and modern society doesn't produce people like him, at least not to the same degree. The music industry fundamentally changed in the early 2000s to be more about created products than actual artists. They want complete control to push their own narrative and ultimately make more money. Independent artists have to much autonomy.
This is great to see that people here understand the genius that is Mark Knopfler... In a messed-up world there ARE places to seek refuge in great music and Mark is a huge part of that.
We all listen to Knopfler's lines - of course - that's why we're here - but listen to Richard Bennett's guitar accompaniment on this performance - WOW!
Not just the best version of this song but possibly one of the greatest live performances ever imo. Everything was perfect and that final solo was beautiful...Played from the soul
It is a great performance,I just dig his stuff too,ya man,he's a great 🎶 musician,he does create a beautiful sound out that box don't he bruh* ossome*****
Back in August 2001, my family and I travelled from Birmingham to Hartlepool (close to County Durham, in the North East of England) for a family funeral. At some point during the car journey, this appeared on the radio. It was the first time I heard this song. It captured the melancholy mood, somewhat.
By far , the best version ever made to this incredible song. One of his greatest songs. Here in this occasion he's both singing the lyrics and playing the guitar so perfectly. Bringing so much to this performance. Nobody plays and sings knopfler like knopfler.
+Best KNOPFLER's channel thanks so much for filming this. Capturing this rare near perfect version and filming in a way that lets us watch the unbelievable genius guitar work of this gigantic talented legend.
I get lost in the beauty and remarkable simple build of this fabulous song... I saw him perform it at Red Rocks in Denver in 2001... what a great night.
He just gets better with age. Some can't pull it off when age changes the vocals. But I'm even more intrigued by his voice, songs and style of playing now than when he was all hot with muscles wearing a sweat-headband back in the older day. He's aged so fine. Love this guy. Never get enough of him
+Ian Wilson Scottish - yeh right - to an English mother and Hungarian father and lived for all but seven years in England. But, heh, hang on to whatever you can.
Thanks for the video. Hey everyone, if you haven't hear the studio album version, it's gorgeous, with James Taylor playing the role of Mason. They work perfectly off each other.
Mark is amazing, but let's give credit where credit's due, and the rest of the band is great, but the way that the piano player adds to this is incredible.
Mark and David Gilmore in my mind are two of the finest musicians ever. Each with their unique style. Would love to hear these two play together. What a performance that would be.
I was thinking of David Gilmore while listening as well. I don’t have the musical vocabulary to describe what I find so similar and wonderful about these two, but I agree.
OHHHHHHH, What a moment!, It's sure for listen Many Times, great musicians, and sintony.😃😃😃. God bless them. Thank you very much for posting this Great! moment. God bless you.
Et dire qu'il est classé 40e dans le top 100 des meilleures guitaristes selon Rolling Stone... www.le-coin-du-guitariste.com/guitaristes/100-meilleurs-guitaristes-au-monde/
Quentin Terenzi je pense qu'il ne faut pas faire attention a ces classements bidons. pour avoir fait plus de 15 concerts de ce type, je peux t'assurer que le public, lui, ne se trompe pas
Quentin Terenzi pas mal, j'ai 62 balais et je ne m'en lasses pas. tiens, vas donc voir le duo qu'il a fait avec tom jones, la tu vas comprendre ce qu'est un vrai gratteux
It's really not right to pick a best version no matter what song he plays that's the best thing about this great musician you never know what ya gonna get but you know it'll be good God Bless Mark Knopfler
Esse cara e monstro simplesmente o melhor dos melhores Mark knopfler ,suas harmonia seus solos ,não dá pra explicar quem é dinossauro, na música ,muito bom,ótimo
In a world of failing musicians one man was sent to Earth by the guitar gods to save mankind from shitty music. All hale MK genious here is a link to some of the finest improvisation at 6:31 simply unreal I hope you like it Tunnel of Love Dire Straits San Antonio '85
MK could play a broom handle and get great sounds, he is just a freak of guitar, can't be easy being nexy band on stage, just sublime. Have alook at these two great recent songs. Mark Knopfler - Privateering - Málaga 2013 - HQ Audio (Multicam). and this Mark Knopfler - Hill Farmer´s Blues - Córdoba 2010 - HQ Audio
Mark toujours extra-ordinaire.Égal à lui-même c'est-à-dire un feeling et un jeu de guitare inégale et juste ici inégalé sauf peut-être Chris Réa.S'ils pouvaient faire un album ensemble avant de trop vieillir ce serait formidable.Ils ont tous les deux le sens de la mélodie et leurs guitares font plus qu'accompagner leurs voix.Elles ont chacune leur propre mélodie sobre et pure....
This the penutilmate in live music, so serene and hauntingly beautiful, great song and great lyrics, if you have the time or the inclination to view this masterpiece it is as good as this song one of MK's best Mark Knopfler - Hill Farmer´s Blues - Córdoba 2010 - HQ Audio
La mejor interpretación de este tema en directo, en giras posteriores lo tocaban a un ritmo más lento con lo cual se hacía más y más pesado, aparte de eso aquí la guitarra de Knopfler suena increible.
I live in Milan, I'm from south of Italy and I rranslated many songs of Mark. I Love him. He is also a great composer, with a special care of social problems

The best UK artist in my lifetime - legend.
Thanks Mark for your music

My Mother favourite Song..now She is Gone !!! Love You Mom !!!
This is such a beautiful song, being a son of an immigrant to America this song really resonates with me.
Best regards to all listening in 2022, ❤
What a lyrical genius MK is. This song really makes me visualize the whole story as if I watching it as it all happened.
Back in August 2001, my family and I travelled from Birmingham to Hartlepool (close to County Durham, in the North East of England) for a family funeral. At some point during the car journey, this appeared on the radio. It was the first time I heard this song. It captured the melancholy mood, somewhat.

+galdylan yes! ;)
+Best KNOPFLER's channel thanks so much for filming this. Capturing this rare near perfect version and filming in a way that lets us watch the unbelievable genius guitar work of this gigantic talented legend.
by far one of the greatest live versions of any MK song. From out of space.
Try Habib Koite , the Malian legend. You'd be pleasantly surprised if you aren't already aware. Age is surely catching up with MK in terms of singing.
I suggest you STP played in rome in 2011. My favourite version
I get lost in the beauty and remarkable simple build of this fabulous song... I saw him perform it at Red Rocks in Denver in 2001... what a great night.
Mark Knopfler is a guitar master! Emotional...
MAGNIFICENT SOUND OF MARK, UNFORGETTABLE ! MARK & DIRE STRAITS FOR EVER !!
Because he is the perfect musician.....we truly love the instrument..... it's our love......
He just gets better with age. Some can't pull it off when age changes the vocals. But I'm even more intrigued by his voice, songs and style of playing now than when he was all hot with muscles wearing a sweat-headband back in the older day. He's aged so fine. Love this guy. Never get enough of him
I learnt guitar by watching and listening to this guy. He really is an all round pro
Me too. It's weird to see someone so technically proficient who concentrates so much on melody. Beautiful.
MK guitar's skills are undeniable, but I also love the way he "sings" and his demeanor: pure poetry!
Terrez Mark, you are quite a treasure , makes me remember
way back when of my younger days. You are priceless !!
Knopfler, a true modern day poet of the quality of Robert Burns, and yet another great Scotsman to grace us.
Alba Gu Brath
+Ian Wilson Scottish - yeh right - to an English mother and Hungarian father and lived for all but seven years in England. But, heh, hang on to whatever you can.
+John Gibson
Is he Scottish or not ?
Simple enough question
+Ian Wilson Does he live in Glasgow or London? I think he has made his choice.
what do you mean by saying another great Scotsman, great Scotsmen are like memorable Belgium's
Like Audrey Hepburn. What an ignorant comment; Scots have punched well above their weight, arguably we wouldn't be on here now without one.
Tears are coming when I ' m listening this incredible song!
Can't stop watching this masterpiece. No other version comes close to this one.
If only there were McCusker's whistle and McGoldrick's flute in this version. It would've been absolutely sublime
The 6 people who gave a thumbs down wouldn't know talent if it dropped on their heads!
Maybe they were dropped on their heads as children.
Mark Knopfler - a true guitar hero.
no doubt ! one of ...
yep
The subtile licks he makes with that guitar in this song is nothing short of amazing. World class right there.
What a genious, great rendition, MK gets better with age just the best
Nim I hear you just a genious on guitar, lyrics and performance delivery
Mark,the best,this song is on the street to heaven....
Thanks for the video. Hey everyone, if you haven't hear the studio album version, it's gorgeous, with James Taylor playing the role of Mason. They work perfectly off each other.
A perfect colaboration of beautiful voices, glad he had James Taylor to sing this with him ,two wonderful singers from different places
He’s one of the best lyrical writing storytellers in the industry and his guitar playing is next to none.
The pianoplayer is awesome as well, between 4 and 7 minutes, just great.
Могу Марка слушать бесконечно.
The sound quality on this is superb.
Best artist to come outta UK, FULL STOP. Mark, thank you for giving me the soundtrack to my life and those whom i love. LOVE U M8
Thanks for the upload. What a beautiful song. One of his best. Can never get over with this song.
how great and how awsome you are,Mark!
What a great sound, great band The guitar 🎸 wow******
A true master of his craft.
thank's God i found this video. best performance ever this song and brothers in arms
Mark is amazing, but let's give credit where credit's due, and the rest of the band is great, but the way that the piano player adds to this is incredible.
Well said. All great musicians, blending together perfectly.
Mark and David Gilmore in my mind are two of the finest musicians ever. Each with their unique style. Would love to hear these two play together. What a performance that would be.
I was thinking of David Gilmore while listening as well. I don’t have the musical vocabulary to describe what I find so similar and wonderful about these two, but I agree.
Thank you for uploading this video, Kostya. Nice to actually see Him do this incredible song

I already loved this song...this version is good....most of his solo stuff has more of a country sound and feel to it...he fits it well
M.K.is in a class of his own.
Absolutely wonderful.
Great Great Tune everyone must enjoy the live footage of this guy!!
MK AMOR pra sempre!! O BRASIL te ama ❤🇧🇷❤🇧🇷 Quando virá aqui novamente...😥😥😥😓😓😓😢😢❤

Cant get enough of his guitar
Mark Knopfler er bare best.

La version mas hermosa de Sailing to Philadelphia de todas la que ha hecho Mark Knopler. El sonido de la guitarra es eterno

Knopfler it is best !
He’s a genius. Watching his guitar fingering, is second nature to him, I’d have to study for years
He is the best
the way he plays note at 6.45 proves he is the king of kings
Incantevole canzone!
Stupenda!

MK could play a broom handle and get great sounds, he is just a freak of guitar, can't be easy being nexy band on stage, just sublime. Have alook at these two great recent songs. Mark Knopfler - Privateering - Málaga 2013 - HQ Audio (Multicam). and this Mark Knopfler - Hill Farmer´s Blues - Córdoba 2010 - HQ Audio
He's never lost that cute smile xx
one of my fav solos on this version...also found on his "Guitar dreams" album. 4:23 - 7.14 = beautiful.
Mark toujours extra-ordinaire.Égal à lui-même c'est-à-dire un feeling et un jeu de guitare inégale et juste ici inégalé sauf peut-être Chris Réa.S'ils pouvaient faire un album ensemble avant de trop vieillir ce serait formidable.Ils ont tous les deux le sens de la mélodie et leurs guitares font plus qu'accompagner leurs voix.Elles ont chacune leur propre mélodie sobre et pure....
Agreed. Best version✌
Watching this drunk at 3am is the best choice ever

Awesome.
Lyrics:
I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I'll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth...
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They'd cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker's boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society...
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
The Mason-Dixon Line
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois...
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Gome up and feel the sun
A new morning is begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here...
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
The Mason-Dixon Line
গানের কথা:
আমি Jeremiah Dixon
আমি একজন Geordie ছেলে
আপনার সাথে এক গ্লাস ওয়াইন, স্যার
এবং মহিলা আমি উপভোগ করব
সমস্ত ডারহাম এবং নর্থম্বারল্যান্ড
আমার নিজের হাতে পরিমাপ করা হয়
জন্ম থেকেই এটা আমার ভাগ্য ছিল
পৃথিবীতে আমার চিহ্ন তৈরি করতে...
সে আমাকে চার্লি মেসন বলে ডাকে
একজন স্টার গেজার আমি
মনে হয় আমার জন্ম হয়েছে
সন্ধ্যার আকাশ চার্ট করতে
তারা রুটি বেক করার জন্য আমাকে কেটে ফেলত
কিন্তু এর পরিবর্তে আমার অন্য স্বপ্ন ছিল
পশ্চিম দেশের এই বেকার ছেলে
রয়্যাল সোসাইটিতে যোগ দেবেন...
আমরা ফিলাডেলফিয়ায় যাত্রা করছি
কয়লা টাইন থেকে দূরে একটি পৃথিবী
ফিলাডেলফিয়ায় যাত্রা
লাইন টানতে
ম্যাসন-ডিক্সন লাইন
এখন আপনি একজন ভালো সার্ভেয়ার, ডিক্সন
কিন্তু আমি শপথ করছি তুমি আমাকে পাগল করে দেবে
পশ্চিমারা আমাদের দুজনকেই মেরে ফেলবে
আপনি ভোলা Geordie ছেলে
আপনি স্বাধীনতার কথা বলছেন
আমেরিকা কিভাবে স্বাধীন হতে পারে
একটি Geordie এবং একটি বেকারের ছেলে
ইরোকুইসের বনে...
এখন মাথা উঁচু করে ধরো, মেসন
দেখুন আমেরিকা সেখানে পড়ে আছে
সকালের জোয়ার উঠেছে
ডেলাওয়্যারের কেপস
উপরে যান এবং সূর্য অনুভব করুন
শুরু হলো নতুন সকাল
আরেকদিন পরিষ্কার হবে
কেন আপনার তারকারা আমাদের এখানে গাইড করবে...
আমরা ফিলাডেলফিয়ায় যাত্রা করছি
কয়লা টাইন থেকে দূরে একটি পৃথিবী
ফিলাডেলফিয়ায় যাত্রা
লাইন টানতে
ম্যাসন-ডিক্সন লাইন
Take me there
cool and relaks
There's only one Guitar God Mark Knopfler
beautiful !!!
Silky Smooth Fans!!!!!!!!!!
