What blows my mind is that this song can just be performed with a guitar, a bass and the drums.. That's all. Even Rythm can be optional. Knopfler is a genius.
My dad took me to an Eric Clapton gig in 1991 aged about 14. Clapton was good but Ray Cooper stole the show for me. What a dude. Nathan Easts' teeth lit up the arena on their own.
It sounds like Eric Clapton's guitar was going screwy and he was reaching to turn it off with one of his pedals at 0:11 (instead of Knopfler telling him to F off while he's doing his intro).
Every time I see this it just leaves me speechless. Each and everyone on stage performing at the absolute max and Clapton is an absolute monster. This entire concert is amazing by the way!
I LOVE this song !!! A hymn to music. Good memories of that time. It's a shame, in 2021, 2022 there are no rock bands like Dire Straits, Ac Dc, Foreigner... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The type of rock n' roll, which won't make you want to bang your head but make you want to appreciate the music in depth! I really want the time when music was made by *musicians!
The dream of my dreams rock band... Just missing John Illsley, Chris White and .. Paul Franklin Superb musicians, supreme music.. they are the hint that God Is there ..somewhere.. but sure peacefully listening to them...
🌎💝🕴️🎸🎤ERIC CLAPTON JUNTO A ELTON JOHN 💝🕴️🎹🎤CÓMO LA VOZ PRINCIPAL nuestro querido KNOFLER 💝🕴🎸🎤💝️me hice presente a escuchar mi glorioso cantautores guitarristas la cual este tema es difícil tremendamente difícil y quedarse quieta hasta los muertos bailar al escuchar este glorioso el interprestado por dos grandes de la gloriosa música 🌎🎧💝🕴️🎸🎤🕴️🎸🎤🎼🎵🕴️🎹🎤
The song is cut in the end - the original lenght of this live version is 6:05m . This version with this six minutes doesn't has the sync problem that you can see here.
Singing a verse about a rich rock n roll "queenie" with an earing while Elton john is actually on the stage with you just adds another layer to the satire. Its almost like they're saying "See? STILL richer than you!"
Just realized they have ray Cooper banging on bongos (well congas really but who's counting) "like a chimpanzee" as well! Love that that they cut to him right on that line. Thats an editor who knows what their doing!
@tigervv6437 Mark is credited with authorship, so he takes all responsibility. Besides, I'm sure he heard a few other words spoken that did not make it into the song. The words he used conveyed exactly what he wanted to say.
Elton John was the one who defended Eminem for using the F slur in his songs and how Eminem was rapping about what was going on and not what he thought which is the same in this songs case so 99% sure Elton wouldn't give two tosses if he used the F slur. Mark removed the F slur from every live performance of this song. Just for class and in good taste I think.
@@tigervv6437 And yes agree. So silly how people still don't believe that to be the case. Like please do some research first before spitting out these crazy allegations about people.
Look up this. Record it in your eyes and brains, because non of you will see this again. Regeton, trap, and autotune, killed all these artist. No more drums, no more, guitars, no more keyboards... NO MORE TALENT...NO MORE MUSIC...
1985 год. город Сеген (ВНР). Ресторан Гамбриниус. 2 часа ночи. Работает видеотека. Гоняют какую-то муру, от которой хочется спать. И тут раздаётся мелодия, чем-то напоминающая шум... После пятой кружки "Вилагоша" в голову чуть-чуть туман и хочется чего-то нового... Тем временем на экране появилась вставка "Dire Straits", сон немного исчезает. На танц-поле пара парочек застыла в недоумении. Все смотрят на монитор экрана. И тут...Марк Нофлер...начинает ... свой риф...Бля! Ноги толкают меня в жопу и не знаю как, но я оказываюсь в центре танц-пола. НЕ помню, чё я там вытворял, но по окончанию песни мадьяры (с трудом поймавшие меня) взяв за руки и ноги выкидывают из ресторана. Наружу... С тех пор эта песня - моя любимая.
these versions have a problem : Phil was on drums but we only can listen to Steve!! Who was the sound engineer ? it's the same for layla and with a little help from my friends
@@jaedanashok9737 The problem of this version is that is cut in the end. The original lenght of this song is 6 minutes and 5 seconds. But if you upload this version and you're not an enterprise who has Money for Nothing rights youtube will bring down your video. It sucks.
knopfler and clapton always bring out the best in each other. awesome and impressive.

@@Rbrowno97 For sure! As always!
Possible the best rock riff ever delivered by a human being
Yes, you are right!!!
Knopfler is the coolest guy in the world.
Couldn't Agree More!!!
😍👌
Absolutely!
Rather than listening to Rap or shit, make young people who listen to really bad music listen to Knopfler, Clapton or Elton John! This is real music!
Amen 🙏
Love Knopfler's vocals during this era
From the Beatles to the end of the 90's we had the best music of all times and most of it came from the UK!
Sorry, Bro... till late 80's. All the 90's are pretty bad
you're wrong....these guys (who you named) come from mars
@@Samana009 true, the only true great British rock band from the 90s was oasis, the rest was just spice girls and back street boys🤮
Oasis is trash
Beatles? Pfffff
Knopfler +Clapton is not legal in a lot of countries
lol
they got banned in south africa
Schnidler why’s that?
Come to my country
@@jackturner5363 They realised how over-rated they are.
Marks face just lights up when he smiles ❤❤
Know why ?
It's because his smile is sincere and not "staged".
This is sensational! Don't think I've heard such outstanding guitar work combine as one before. Superb talents all of them!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Knopfler, top 10 guitar of all time, makes it look effortless, oh yeah he's a great singer songwriter too.
What blows my mind is that this song can just be performed with a guitar, a bass and the drums.. That's all. Even Rythm can be optional. Knopfler is a genius.
excellent comment
I agree!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Money for Nothing with Legends in Concert! Mark Knopfler & Eric Clapton.
and elton john!
@@superweak phil collins on drums!
0:11 "Go back, man." 😂
Lol goddamn I think everyone missed this. Savage and hilarious. I mean I guess Mark knew his was selling 100 million+ records in the 80's.
How dare he.
Long I have wonder about this. Maby he just laid the hand for fun becouse he could (with the riff).
Looks like he's going to adjust the pedal effects and he was saying "No it's good"
My dad took me to an Eric Clapton gig in 1991 aged about 14. Clapton was good but Ray Cooper stole the show for me. What a dude. Nathan Easts' teeth lit up the arena on their own.
One of the best versions that I've ever seen!
When the girls came in ,it went to another level. Every thing was rocking. Wow the whole performance fantastic
Even my 81 yr old Dad thinks Knopfler is a great guitarist. There's still hope for us Genxers.
My best choice: Mark Knopfler! 😀🎸❤🙋♀️🎸🎤🎸❤🎤🎸❤😀
That intro like a total boss!!! So many legends on one stage, surprised the roof of the RAH stayed put!
Am happy everytiime I see MK smiling😍🎧🎸🎤🎶
Mark is unrecognizable without the bandana

Siiiiiiiiiii,Amoooooo"!!! este temaaaaá"!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I was 10 when I got a DVD with a compilation of the 1987 and 1988 Rock Galas. Immediately fell in love with the 80s. It changed my life.
馬克很少笑, 偶爾一笑十分迷人, 他此時笑得相當多, 很是難得. 這首歌是經典, 最好的年代唱最好聽的一首歌, 謝謝分享~
This performance inn this night was the best ever any any award shows. The talent was crazy great
Mark looks happy 🙂
Siiiiiiii,Amooóóoo"!!!!esteeeé temaaaaaaa"!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
The type of rock n' roll, which won't make you want to bang your head but make you want to appreciate the music in depth! I really want the time when music was made by *musicians!
I wasn't born in this time, but if I can go back in time I'd go to 1988 to see this concert.
The best
This band on this great night was off of the charts. The talent all together when will we ever see it again.
❤❤ANCHE questa è stupenda come la canta e la suona da Dio inico grande Mark da ascoltare sempre ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How am i just seeing this version now. Amaxing
Eric, prá trás!!! O show é meu!!! hahahahaha Ótimo ver o Mark sorrindo e o balanço dele tocando, marcando com os pés e ombros, bom demais :)
Realmente, poucos perceberam. Ele pediu ao Eric pra voltar. Kkk
@@carlos17082808Nada disso, Eric só tava apertando o pedal da guitarra no chão
This is pure dream to see these legends together.
WOW ❤
Knopfler, Clapton, Elton John....Damn!!!
dont forget Phil Collins
@@haexpi Sorry, can't believe I forgot about Phil.
@@LasVegas68 back to the old days when he still play drum😂
@@haexpi True, yet it is not funny to laugh about health issues of a person.
Amazing intro!! BRUTAAAAAAL!!!!
Песня на все времена,об отношении некоторой части человечества к поющим,выступающим со сцены.

Money Money money 🌹
Y love you Mark 💋
Masterpiece... unbeatable... Clapton Knopfler...🔥❤️✨

I think if the best Money For Nothing live version

Nah, Prince's Trust 1986 did it 20x better than this
I really enjoyed the knebworth one
@@BenjiDarius
Man You have to be really good, if your support guitarist is Eric Clapton
THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT!!
Brabo. Sarniou legal fi
They are going at it !
Where can i get this DVD in STEREO ? 1999 DVD release is all in MONO sound.
How good at guitar are you?
Clapton plays rhythm for me
LOL... Yeah
😂😂😂
And I’m the girl he wrote Layla for... 👏👏👏🥰😂😂😂
@@Ettesun LOL
While i sing about house applications
Clapton and Knopfler are ok, but bongo guy is killing it.
The legendary Ray Cooper, one of the best percussionist's ever
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee the always demonstrative Ray Cooper.
Ray Cooper is the greatest percussionist I've ever heard. You should watch him playing Tiny Dancer with Elton John at Hyde Park in 2016
Dang!
Kristen Scott-Thomas at 2:31
If you can't say something pleasent .... don't bother......❤
i love this...
Só quem viveu os anos 80 sabe o que é isso!
Nathan and Steve, wow what a pocket!! Not easy to play super laid back like that, especially on stage.
what a great channel...for charity great
How weird it is to see Jerry Seinfield have the lead and Chuck Norris to have rhythm..
Classic comment. Make me laugh so much. Nice one.
I wish that ❤❤I had
Clapton tries to get next to Mark and Mark pushes him back....LOL love it!
tell you what, Eric, I'll give you the solo, but the riff is mine
Good observation.
Clapton was pushing his pedal. C'mon you guys.
Maravilloso Mark Knopfler ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's what you call a strong lineup on stage...
They overdubbed the end of the song cutting Eric solo at the ending, but the YT have the complete version.
You know you've made it, if Sting is your Background Singer and Clapton your Guitarist.
Top
Fun to hear him change the lyrics. Wondering if he was referring to Elton originally 😏
Those are not Marks words to begin with. He overheard a couple of engineers in an electronics store that were watching MTV and wrote it down.

Eric Clapton: "I'm just gonna step up here and..." Mark Knopfler puts his ha d on Clapton's shoulder: "Step back. Ill show you how to play."
Hahahaha. I love eric, but Knopfler is a Genius.
What’s the title of the instrumental that follows Layla? It’s brilliant!!
Pure talent unlike today
Por que Clapton e Knopfler não gravaram um disco juntos?
Muito bom

Same with Clapton's outro solo

a crying shame EC's guitar solo is not in the mix during the outro.
