The Alchemy Live performance is among the greatest live performances of all time.
Absolutely. I was somewhat disappointed that wasn't what BP was watching.
Dude, the live extended jam is the bomb, where their live performance showcases everyone's skills. I recommend highly that you revisit the song. I'm sure someone in the comments can direct you to the right video. Cheers!😁
No joke.
What I came here to say.
@@mookie7688 What I just said and I should have known that most of us would feel the same:)
Most people are going to tell you that you need to do a reaction to the Alchemy Live version of this song. You will be blown away, it's a great live performance and way more hopping than this version.
👍👍
i don't get it. I'm a rock fan, 70s/80s fan..and this song is not great to me. Its okay...
@@redzwestisbest I really only thought the song was just ok or good at best, but the Alchemy Live version is pretty damn awesome. A lot more energy, and the little add-in lyrics make all the difference in the world to me.
Funny thing is, he’s got Mark Knopfler doing the Alchemy gig in the thumbnail for this video.
"Was this ever on the radio?"... Oh man, hahahaha!
Only a billion times!!! 😂
Mark Knofler just released a new album this month - he is 74 now and still one of the greatest guitarists alive.
Mark Knofler is my all time favorite Saw Dire Straits in Toronto 30 or forty years ago.
Check out the Alchemy full versiond
You should have reacted to alchemy live version! That's where the magic is!
This this this
without a doubt one of the best live versions ever
That's what I thought this was and I was "Oh dang, not the live version?!"
YES! It’s a crime that they cut off the end of this video!
You are so correct! It’s the best live performance of Sultan’s I have ever seen!
Cutting that solo off is criminal.
FACT ⬆️
Like not listening to the final part of Stairway to Heaven or Prince's solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
@@kovie9162 Ohh thanks for the reminder about Prince! I haven’t listened to that work of art in a while 😉 🌊
I was about to say the same!! Every time the guitar solo comes on I crack the volume up and make the guitar solo with my voice🤪.
And in their official video nogal. Not to mention the missing verse.
Mark Knopfler has just realised a new album. He is a very unique sound.
PLEASE watch the Alchemy Live performance of this song! If you liked this one, that one will blow your mind! Mark is solidly in the top 10, probably top 5 guitarists of all time.
Sorry, wrong video of the song, it ends when the best part hasn't even started, sooooo sad!!!😢
It's a unique song --- it's a rock song that's ABOUT jazz. But Mark Knopfler's guitar is what makes it really special. There's nobody who sounds like him. Enjoy!
Yeap. One of the best guitarists of all time. And you can tell if you listen to his solo stuff from the past 20 years. His guitar style is just amazing.
except maybe his brother? a little bit? gods, what would it be like to be mark knopfler's brother? paying a heavy karmic debt there.
Agreed, Mark's guitar in this is very special. Those melodic fills strewn throughout the song are fantastic and his outro solo on Sultans is probably among my top 5 "solos" I enjoy. I primarily like "old school" metal, with my 3 favorite bands being Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. I also play guitar, so I key on that element in most songs. That said, if I were to name my top 10 guitarists of all time, I'd include David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler; they both had an amazing ability to elevate any song with their playing. Their use of bending, phrasing and especially with Marks unique finger-pluck chording, their guitar is like another voice in the song. Both very skilled and I must recognize their high skill, despite landing outside my "usual" tastes.
@@jeffreyboyer3714 That's a great tribute. I'm not a guitarist (I'm a drummer) but I can appreciate what Knopfler and Gilmour have in common -- their technical skill and phrasing deliver the emotion called for by the song. You deeply "feel" their playing. My tastes run more toward classic rock, roots rock, punk and blues but the best players transcend genre -- they make you stand up take notice because of that gift.
@@citizenghosttown Classic rock and blues eh? Well, truthfully, old heavy metal may be what I say is my favorite, but I listen to everything and probably really have to admit hundreds of actual favorites if I'm pressed; I am also very keen on blues, old punk, classic rock, jazz, classical and maybe even throw in some disco if I'm honest (I mean who can deny some of those great bass lines?). Given what you've said, I might suggest one for you...check out Dunlop Sessions: Eric Gales here on YT. See what you think.
There was a time when you could turn the radio on any time day or night and hear this song.....sometimes on more than one station at the same time.
Alchemy live !!!! It's gonna blow your mind !!!!!
No no! This is the radio version of the song (yes, it played on the radio constantly!) and they cut off the end. Even if you don’t do it for the channel, you owe it to yourself to watch them play this song at the alchemy live concert. The musicianship alone is mind blowing.
No, this is NOT the radio version. Let me re-phrase that. Every time I have ever heard it on the radio, and it has been a lot, it would always include his historic solo near the end of the song. I imagine this version was thrown together and posted by some dufus non-music loving exec.
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy Live) is the best live performance ever! His guitar solos are awesome and the drummer absolutely kills it on the Alchemy live. You won't regret listening to it and it may give you that magical moment!
Big hit on the radio...late 70's into 80's. You really ought to listen to their song Romeo and Juliet.
Like they all said... Alchemy Live. Honestly one of the best live performances ever recorded.
Best finger plucker of all time
Try the Alchemy Live version of Sultans of Swing or Telegraph Road. You be rewarded!
I love Brothers In Arms. That song was one of my favourites during my teenage years 😉
Anything from the Alchemy show is 🔥🔥🔥
This is the studio version. Dire Straits shine live.
Was it ever on the radio?!? Boy was it ever on the radio and STILL on the radio. Also this video cut out the banging guitar jam at the end.
It's called "Rock and Roll."
Yeah, you definitely need to react Alchemy Live performance of this song. You get to hear the fantastic guitar solo that this version fades out on. Also, it is just a masterclass on how to turn a successful studio track into a live performance that makes fans so very glad they came out to hear you live. Very true to the studio version in the best ways, but expanding on it and giving the audience more of everything they came to hear.
Mark is one of the best lyricists and storyteller. Combined with his unique guitar skills. If you want a story check out Telegraph Road.
When I think of Dire Straights, I think of "Money for Nothing". You should definitely check that one out!
Right, this is Dire Straits miming to the studio track. They cut the excellent solo off the end. Doesn’t do them justice. Get the live Alchemy performance up to see what they’re really capable of.
The tightest band EVER!!!
Laura from Baltimore USA 😊😊😊
You need to watch the Alchemy "Live" performance video.. It blows the socks off of this version!
The lyrics were inspired by a performance of a Dixieland jazz band playing in the corner of an almost empty pub in Deptford, South London. At the end of their performance, the lead singer announced their name, the Sultans of Swing; Knopfler found the contrast between the group's dowdy appearance and surroundings and their grandiose name amusin
He's also name checking a couple of guitarists who he really liked Harry Vanda & George Young of the Easybeats - they went on to become writer producers and notably produced the first 5 or 6 AC/Dc albums. George Young's younger brothers are Malcolm and Angus from AC/DC. Guitarists love Friday on Your Mind by the Easybeats because it sounds simple but George Young is actually doing insanely difficult chords just because he can and because it's fun for him to do it.
Sure I won't be the first , but the Alchemy Live version is different gravy. Bit more tempo , far more drumming and a guitar segment that is absolutely mind blowing. Trust me , you will get more requests for that than anything else....
Love his syncopated cadences “Harry doesn’t mind.” He has fun with his delivery. It’s as creative as his guitar “conversation“ with his fingerpicking style.
Alchemy "LIVE" is the one to experience!
You are overthinking and it is Rock.
Where to place it😀 granted they are not generic🫶
I'd say Rock Ballad.
You should have listened to the Alchemy Live concert. It is fantastic.
I agree, Alchemy performance is the best, amazing drums. If i remember correctly, Money for nothing was their first video to come out on MTV. Walk of life and so far away are good ones too.
He hits EVERY note on the guitar and some that don't even exist, Mark could whistle through one of his songs but as long as he's got a guitar in his hand he has his voice ❤ Alchemy Live is an ABSOLUTE MUST .
Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarist.
You really need to see the alchemy live version
Mark Knofler's guitar work on Brothers in Arms makes me cry.
The (real) live performance is the one you need, about ten minutes, fantastic solos and build-up.
Alchemy Live concert in London.
should watch the live performance of this with the long guitar solo and they start jammin
"Telegraph Road" off their Alchemy Live concert is musical perfection! Subbed
Absolutely!!!
Telegraph Road was written while the band was traveling on US highway 24, which runs about 70 miles through Michigan along the border of Detroit. It is about the fall of the city and the blight that takes over, in this case, Detroit. However, the song could be adapted to any large city that has fallen into hard times.
Now you've heard the parade lap version of Sultans of Swing, you need to check out the full foot to the floor Alchemy Live version..!
Yes, they played this song on the radio back in the day alot. Brings back lots of awesome memories cruising with my friends on the weekend. The Alchemy Live version will blow your mind. A must do!!!
I agree that you should watch the Alchemy live version and Telegraph Road from the same concert. Both are amazing performances, and you will not be disappointed.
You really should have checked out the performance that you have set as your thumb nail. The concert is Alchemy Live. It's just an extended version and you really get to see the band the way you need to experience them... It's the go to reaction and you'll have people come to see that version over the others available.
The “Dude” is Mark Knopfler Scottish, killer musician 😎🎸
You’ve GOT to check out the Alchemy Live version so you can see the insane musicality from this group. Mind blowing!
Oh, yeah, is was on the radio. And it has been non-stop for 46 years. An absolutely seminal piece of music and the introduction to the word of Mark Knopfler's genius.
You have to watch Dire Staits live from alchemy,fire,fire!
The live version is nutz!!
Alchemy Live in London.
Dude, look up Dire Straits Telegraph Road, especially the Alchemy live performance. One of the best live recordings ever. Mark Knopfler, the lead guitar / vocalist, was inspired to write the song while sitting at the front of a bus going down Telegraph Road, a real road that runs throught the heart of Detroit.
I used to love "Brothers in Arms". A slow and sad one. It's rock music from the 80ies
THIS IS 70DZ GOLD
That was written during the Falkland war.✌
Yes, please react to it! Then react to Home Free's cover.
Used to love? Why not till? Brothers in Arms is an amazing song
@@Enochulator Okay, this was wrongly expressed. 🙄I still love it. ❤️I just haven't listened to it for a long time. But after this reaction video I listened to it and it's still an awesome song. And its message is timeless
YOU HAVE TO SEE THE LIVE VERSION. THEY CUT THIS SHORT, THEY ARE ROCK FROM UK. CHECK OUT WALK OF LIFE, MONEY FOR NOTHING OR SO FAR AWAY FROM ME....PEACE!
DITTO! 👏👏👏
DITTO like a thousand times!
Mark is amazing - and he’s as good live as anyone I’ve seen!
You know when you put on the ONE performance, the band synchronized, the mood, the flow..and you HIT IT 100%, ....that was in ALCHEMY....
Mark Knopfler was a preeminent guitarist and, yes, this was big on the radio. You just listened to a shortened version. For a much expanded version that shows off his skills, along with the rest of the band, a view of the Alchemy Live version is a must.
You should have reacted to alchemy live version. It is one of the best live music performances of any band!
This is the studio version of "Sultans of Swing" from their 1978 debut album. PLEASE check out the live version from their Alchemy live album/concert film, released in early '84. You'll be blown away. I promise you.
Got the 12in single of this, blown away . + 2 tracks on the flip
One of the greatest and immediately recognizable guitar solos of all time. Thanks for covering.
It's Dire Straits, and you might want to do “Money For Nothing.” The video and the live. Yes, it was on the radio a lot. This came out in the late '70s. Check out “Walk of Life” too.
The official music video for both of those songs is best! Money for nothing has its lyrics pulled from an overheard conversation from two delivery men watching an MTV video ( actually happened).
Walk of Life uses sports videos to show that you have to go through some tough times in your walk of life experiences. It starts out with bloopers and ends with wins. Warning! This tune is catchy and you will be humming it for days. You may even spontaneously break out with a "Woooo whooo" every so often!
70DZ GOLD 4 SURE
Was a teenage in the late 60's early 70's, the radio played everything from The Beatles to The Letterman to Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan. Nobody thought of genre. It was music and if we liked it we listened to it.
Amen
"Did they play this on the radio?" Oh man......
Of course it was a huge radio hit
@@hollycook5046 You took the words right out of my mouth!! Jeez Louise!
Dire Strait is a great band!! Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarist ever. The guitar solo in this one is crazy. The Alchemy live version of this song is fantastic.
My favorite band of all time.
Dire Straits has always defied being labeled. Just super solid musicians and song writers with an incredibly crisp and unique sound.
Forever on my playlist.
I've always loved dire straits music. But then, i am vintage myself 😂. This band was world famous, and popular .
Mee too
Walk of life is a must listen as well
This was ABSOLUTELY played on the radio back in the 70s.
"Their first single, "Sultans of Swing", from their 1978 self-titled debut album, reached the top ten in the UK and US charts." I almost peed my pants from laughter when you asked if this was on the radio. A kick ass song that is still played on good rock stations.
Dire Straits is one of my favorite all time bands. I agree with some other commenters that the "alchemy live" version is better and really showcases Mark Knopfler's amazing guitar skills. You can go into a deep rabbit hole with great Dire Straits music. I'm sure you would be familiar with "Money for Nothing."
Check out the live version for this song
Alchemy Live concert in London.
An instantly recognisable guitar sound, courtesy of lead singer/gutarist Mark Knopfler. I won't be the first here to say watch the Alchemy Live version - it blows everything else out of the park. Dire Straits had a string of hits throughout the 80s, from the lovelorn Romeo and Juliet to the chilling Private Investigations. Well worth checking more of their songs. Don't worry too much about trying to pigeonhole the style. And congratulations - I hope everything goes well for the birth!
He is a unbelievable guitar player!!!!!
You Must check out the Alchemy version. It's a masterpiece.
Personally, I have always thought this is the most perfect song ever written and performed. I feel like the tone and every. single. note. Is exactly right.
It's Mark's guitar playing......every note clear as a bell
You'll find no argument from me! 🤙🏼🤘🏼
This video cuts out 30 seconds too soon as my favorite part of his solo was just coming up. Yes, this was on the radio and still gets lots of play on rock stations. Mark Knopfler is a great story teller and a beast on guitar.
I was a wreck, and 47 years ago this song made me pick up the guitar. Unfortunately, you ended up watching the commercialized version. This song changed my life’s trajectory. Today I'm a successful and happy musician.
Good for you! Have a great day!
Hi Friend, you haven’t heard awesome until you listen to Sultans of Swing Live Alchemy! That will go on your playlist very quickly 😊 🎸
As a rapper you would appreciate Industrial Disease by Dire Straits.
I've been a music head my entire life. There are a couple of guitarists that were cool with being understated, Clapton and Knopfler of Dire Straits. Either one of those guys could have melted crowds and brains but the way they played was so something. They almost look like they're playing slow, almost to prove a point that they were so good they could make it look like riding a bike.
As others have suggested their performance of "Sultans of Swing" at Alchemy Live was on a much different level to this. It is so different that it is worth a seperate reaction.
As someone from a military family, you might enjoy their song "Brothers in Arms."
Absolutely! “Brothers in Arms” ❤️👍💐
B. P. This version did not have the iconic Guitar Solo and it did not have the energy of better Recordings of this song. I remember when this song came out. I was in a bar band at the time and everyone was going nuts over this song and the Different Groove it had.
Again the 70’s & 80’s had so many Genres of Music and everyone had Some Amazing Artists. Great Time for Music. I Grew up Threw a lot it. Graduating H S in 1978. What a time to be a Kid!!!!
This song was one that always made you feel good when it came on the radio. It's one of those that you could just chill out while cruising down the road. Just something to put on your play list when you want to feel mellow.
One of the best Guitarists of all time. If you want to get blown away, listen to the 14 minute long "Telegraph Road." My first "band love". His guitar picking is amazing.
🙌💯 YES! This! So much this! 🔥
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hello. You HAVE to do the live version
This is the radio version, which was everywhere. Check out live version, live at Alchemy....incredible vibe and so much better! Lots of fun and interplay amount group
Brings me back to my childhood listening to it on wplj New York, never gets old
This played on the radio all the time. We appreciated ALL types of music back then.
Today, all the music uses digital components that makes it all CRAP! Most of today's "artists" ( yes, I am being sarcastic) cannot carry a tune in a basket. A lot of them cannot play an instrument, either.
Dire Straits has talent. Mark Knopfler could not only write music, he could sing and perform in front of huge audiences, while being put into the category of being one of the top 5 guitar pickers of all time.
Categorize them in the pure raw talent genre of the 70s and 80s. That is a category that has surely been lost!
Yes….this was on the radio A LOT! 👍😂 In the ‘80’s!
Hi. Great song....I highly recommend listening to extended live version of this song. The performance is insanely good. You'll agree once you hear it. 🙂
It’s all about his guitar, which is unique and incredible.
Live alchemy performance is out of this world, would be amazing if you reacted to it!
Mark Knopfler was ranked number 27 in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the top 100 guitarists of all-time. "Money For Nothing" is their biggest hit and I'm sure you have had to of heard it at some time or other.
No. 27? That is sacrilege. He is surely among the top 5.
Who were the 26 in front of him.
@@darrylhilbig6459 Well, just had a look at the best 250 guitarists and there Mark is at 96, with Jack White at 33 (WTF?) and Joni Mitchell at 9. How the hell do they compare guitarists? In the top 100 he is at 44. I still think you cannot compare his virtuosity with guitarists e.g. like Van Halen or Brian May.
Proves Rolling Stone doesn’t know shit!
@@lawwdogg1digrThey haven’t since the 80s
He's a brilliant writer & No extreme vocals but his singing is a great example of how to use light & dark to allow the story & music to captivate you.
Man this video uscks. Just like the radio edit, it cuts off the BEST PART of the song. His guitar solo at the end of the song. You have to listen to the Alchemy Live performance of the song. One of the best guitar solos of all time.
There is an extended live version of this song that is unbelievable!!!
I love this song… it’s interesting that they were several versions of this song… This one skips the end of that guitar solo which to me is one of the best guitar solos ever! It’s so good! I love watching you discover these really great bands from yesteryear.
Someone below has suggested the Alchemy Live version! Spot on!! Mark Knopfler is a brilliant songwriter and for me the best guitarist that ever lived!
"Someone" as in about 100 of us already:)
Lol he'll ya !! It was on the radio ! Rock and roll !!!🤘
This song played regularly played late 70's / early 80's on the pop/rock (versus heavy rock) radio stations. It's now considered "classic rock" by many. It's a rock song about a Jazz musician aka, the Sultan of Swing per the title. Yes, the song is basically a story over a set of riffs. (sorta like Ren's story telling) The guitar solo is iconic. However, when MTV came out and Dire Straits produced "Money for Nothing" there was quite the conflict among their fans as it that a totally different flavor of their music. Many 70's rock (might be called soft rock or folk rock sometimes) were story style songs (think Crosby Stills and Nash, Jim Croce, etc.)
He is from Scotland but the band is considered British. Mark Knopfler is widely regarded as one of the greats in the world of rock music and guitar playing. His distinctive guitar style, characterized by intricate fingerpicking and emotive solos, has earned him immense respect and admiration from both fans and fellow musicians alike. Knopfler's contributions to Dire Straits and his successful solo career have solidified his place among the legendary figures of rock music. His influence on guitarists and songwriters is undeniable, and his work continues to be celebrated as a significant and lasting part of music history.
"British" people are from the British Isles, it's not limited to only the country of England. But if you happen to mention that to an Irishman who's had a few in him, make sure you're out of arm's reach beforehand!
Scotland is part of Britain 🏴🇬🇧
@@bobprivate8575 I'm aware British is technically the entire U.K. Mark and David Knopfler were born in Scotland but raised in England. John Ilsley and David Withers were born in England.
You are correct. Trying calling a Scotsman or Irishman British and you are looking for trouble.
Born in Scotland to an English mother and Hungarian father but soon after the family moved back to his mother's home town of Blyth, just north of Newcastle where he was brought up, hence his Geordie accent. Early songs reflected on his experiences on Newcastle quayside and in Whitley Bay.
Mark Knopfler was raised in the North East of England not Scotland. He's a beloved northern son alongside Sting, Eric Burdon (Animals lead singer) and more recently Sam Fender. If you haven't seen anything yet you should check Sam out, I think you'd enjoy him.
