Amongst great live performers, no one that i've seen is as calm as Mark Knopfler while doing the level of things he does.
❤
Musica che non ho mai ascoltato ma i Qeen e Freddie Mercury non hanno eguali
Facciamoci prendere dalle Emozioni che la Musica ci dona
I’m 89 and listen with wonder to all of Mark’s work. There are no others
Who have done what seems easy for him
Quando impari a non far paragoni é quando impari ad apprezzare davvero la musica@@luisagaliazzo2879
The way Mark commands the stage is amazing... You can really see how much his bandmates respect him, he's a natural leader.
Yes 👍
Has to be one of the best guitar players ever.
It’s like he’s a conductor managing all the instruments while being the virtuoso guitar player and singer of awesome lyrics that he wrote. Amazing talent!
@@susantulleynehus5054those thoughts were bouncing around in my head, but not nearly in as concise a way as your words clarified. Perfectly well said and perfect timing for me.😊
They hated him.
I love how people from all languages comment on how great MK is. Loved world wide……
@@direstraitsofficial123 Thanks.
De todo el mundo hermano 🇨🇱 mark Knopfler el más grande!
مارك يتعامل مع الوتر بكل احساسه
To still be blown away by Mark and band after all these years, says so much of how incredible they are. Just utterly unique and legendary on every level. Astounding.
Hi Ben. Long time no hear. Remember me from the forums BBB😊
For me this was DS at their very best. I loved it when Alan Clark joined. Such a great sound that reminds me of my teenage years buying bootlegs on cassette tape and playing them to death in the car.
@@nigeldignum3919 hey bud, of course I remember a dear fellow knopflerite haha. I'm not on Facebook so you may have thought I'd deleted you. Lol. Hope you're all good and have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2023. 🎄
Muchísimas gracias❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
amen.
Those guitar chords were everything i ever wanted in a song. Simply put, this song is musically "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
It's certainly not superfunkycalifragisexi.
Who can appreciate that before Knofler, this guitar sound was unknown.
It still sounds so new and fresh to my ears all these years down the road.
All you need to hear is a couple guitar notes, and you immediately know it's Mark. My favorite guitarist of all time!
He can really make you cry or fill you with grand jubilation!
@@JonRaich-n5t! And mine, because is the best of the best
The drums and the bass are supreme in this song.
It takes a Band to prop up some words
@@raindeerprojekt4119
Interesting! Love this
Every accord from his guitar and the rhythm of the band touches my soul and heart! The performance over years is amazing
The man is a genius. No doubt.
" you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force" how true today!. Prophetic and significant words with superb music. Best ever band, still unrivalled.
Truly an amazing song.
The feel and light and shade from drummer Pick Withers are wonderful on this performance. His dynamics give the whole band a lift when needed and when he lays back gives them space to breathe.
He really was missed when he went. And the difference is just that, the dynamic command he had, which neither Terry Williams or Chris Whitten ever quite had, although they too were great drummers. Just not quite the same.
@@iainclarke524
Totally agree on all counts. Terry and Chris both fantastic drummers who fitted in very well with the band but Pick had very difficult shoes to fill. Such a beautiful feel he gave to every Dire Straits song, the original in in my opinion the best drummer for the band.
Pick was the best, I loved watching him play on this clip. Love Dire Straights.
I am no drummer, or musician of any kind, but Pick's playing during the final guitar solo in Telegraph Road is probably my favorite drumming performance of all time. I don't know if there's any legitimate science behind this, though :-) I also like listening to Terry Williams, but I have a feeling he was playing "too much" at times, as if he was trying to compete for the spotlight with Mark.
@@iainclarke524 essa música é linda demais
This is the best DS formation. Alan Clark added depth to the music, and we still have the wonderful Pick Withers with his accurate drumming... For me, the peak of DS was the early 80s.
Unfortunately you are right :-(
Man! He had that crowd in the palm of his hand clapping to the coolest of all rhythms. Absolutely fantastic!
My Dad got me into Dire Straits when I was a kid always remember being in his van with him with the Straits on tape..he past away 14 years ago iam 52 and to this day I still listen to this band..really wish they would get back together they still have a lot of fans
Que grandes estos padres
Es la herencia musical que nos dejan y orgullosos de seguir escuchando esta banda bestial
To know that Mark and most of if not all the members of DS over the years played without being junkies is something to be highly respected. Mark especially is a genius that i just can't stop listening to him play.
After 40 years of MK's guitar hypnosis, I can fully admire the pleasure of Pick Withers'es drum playing and JI's bass.
My husband has had this song as his ringtone forever. Mark is truly one of those musicians who always stood out. There was always a magic to his sound. It still leaves me stunned and amazed!!
wow, I believe he has never picked up his phone since....
I also love the original
I like the fact that you only see the musicians and their instruments, nothing else. Nothing distracts! That's when good music is needed!
It doesn't get any better than that.... thank you TH-cam!
The percussiveness in his playing is what gets me. The snapping of strings, ever so slight muting. The feel he plays with is evident!
It never gets old listening to this Awesome band, from their beginning i still play their music everyday, ❤
You are a friend of mine.
Reminds me of how good Dire Straits were and still are. TIMELESS
Starší verze byla super dnesni verze je úplně na dně nevím ale akorát melete HOVNA
Yes 👍
Deserved more accolades and airplay.
Such a great performance! Mark was great as always but how wonderful it is to see Pick Withers at the top of his game!
This song and the perfomance is so good that it actually makes me emotional of pure joy
No one has created and composed as many Great Eargasms as Mark Knopfler . My musical addiction
I have to admit that this song is breathtaking! The performance on Alchemy is stunning!❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥🥁❤️🔥
Stunning 😍
My favourite soloing on the Alchemy album
@@TheHumbuckerboy I completely agree!! This performance is superb! Hurricane force!! Beautiful.🎶🌟🎸🌟🎶👍🙋♀️
Great to see this early version of this song with the original drummer. With MK he never plays a live song the same, he's always improvising to keep it fresh. Played this on his last tour and is still a classic. Class 🎸🎸
In 80's , I was in Epsom shopping. Heard fab music and they were just playing in the Park there free..I loved them and still do. Bought Sultans of Swing that week 👍😊
wow. which park in Epsom Jill? i'd like to visit said park.
@@firdausHITMAN near to shopping parade
@@JillHayling thanks Jill. Is there a name for the park by any chance please. many thanks
As raw as it gets. Amazing footage. You can tell they just love to play.
Just a filthy groove!! Reggae, R & B, country chickin pickin, just incredible!
I remember watching this as a kid, it was awesome then and still is!
We are so lucky to be able to pull up performances like this to remind us of our divine selves.
J'écoutais dire straits grâce a mon père quand j'étais petit maintenant ca fait 40 ans que j'écoute toujours sans jamais me lasser !
L'art de faire des mélodies avec une guitare electrique , une vrai légende pour moi 😍
Idem pour moi. Je me souviens des portraits du groupe sur le verso de la pochette du premier album. Quel batteur ce Pick.
Fantastic video by the one and only Dire Straits, Mark K.!!😍
Zo goed. Ongeloof hoe goed iemand op een gitaar en saxofoon spelen. Wat een eer om dit te mogen beluisteren en bekijken.
This version is so magical
Know it!!!
Mark was my crush during my teenage years. 😄🥰 and I loooove this song. The album ALCHEMY is one of my favs of all time.
Still my crush 40 years later 😂
wow, I remember this tour. I was already a fan, but 1980 was the 1st time I got to see them live. many more since, and they never get old to my older ears.....
An amazing song and singer.
Dire straits with Pick Withers is my favourite era
I've always said that Pick Withers was the best drummer DS ever had. The Alchemy performance is wonderful but Pick just has a feel that nobody else can mimic.
Totally. The biggest secret weapon the band ever owned.
Yes and Dan Cummings really shines especially on “The Road to Nazareth”!
Can only subsribe to this. Take Sultan of Swings, without Pick - and John by the way, the song would be nothing.
Of course Mark is a killer guitarist, but a good piece of rock means also a good rhythm imho.
And Pick was so good (nice touch) on the first album of Dire Straits !!
8ㅏ
My favourite era of the band is when Pick was with them, and my favourite concert footage of them is that classic 79 rock palast show.
I just LOVE those 1st two albums. He has such an incredible groove !
Man! Pick Withers was a great drummer...that fill he did in the beginning is a little different than the album, and the footwork on the bass drum looks really cool.
And the roll and cymbal crashes at the end of the song are so good!
..but he was replaced by omar hakim and rip carlos vega on "brothers in arms" album, coz the big bosses of warner bros. claimed he could'nt get the right sounds..but he was the drummer of ''brothers in arms'' world tour
After more than 40 years, we still enjoy hearing it live. THANKS Mark from Germany
Nach mehr als 40 Jahren hören wir es noch immer gerne live. DANKE Mark
Man I wish I could've seen these guys live!
It was a wonderful feeling to listen to this song and watch the band and remember a wonderful time that will never return.🙋♀️I was lucky that it was the time of my youth. What a fortune!!💗🍀🙋♀️
Same feeling i have.
Very fortunate to have these type of songs or music to listen to and be reminded of our younger days.
@@shahrul1962 Thanks for the nice words. I wish you all the best.🙋♀️🌟🎸🌟
@@spomenkazlokolica3061 Music binds the world.
Mark Knofler's binds us his fans.
Take care.....from Malaysia.
@@shahrul1962 I absolutely agree, music brings together people of the same affinities.I suggest you to visit Agustinknoofler channel, Mk's concerts recorded from the audience, wonderful feeling as if you are really at Mark's concert. We get along well. Look ...🍀⚘️🙋♀️🌟🎸🌟
@@spomenkazlokolica3061 yes im already a subscriber
love this band. Complete package, something for all types.
Nunca teremos uma outra Banda como essa. Mark Knopfler é um gênio!
💯❤️
Once upon a time but with....DIRE STRAITS.....manner...yes....perhaps this team know perfectly what means that....its means....youthful....courage....love....bravery....and.....its simply our loose golden age....never return....thanks.
My first time seeing this performance…..what a band! Gonna repeat!
My pops got me into the Who, Zz top and Pink Floyd, who I've seen live the division bell tour. Kudos to anybody who''s seen dire straits live. They really do jam like no other
I saw them twice and it was completely amazing
They were such a tight band full of energy...MK greatest writer ever
This song is absolutely beautiful and Marks guitar playing is so talented it’s like child play to him. The whole band did an amazing job thank you guys
Possibly the greatest performance by a drummer ever!
Wonderful, Magical, Immortal Music!!! I bow before Your Genius! 🙏🙏🙏👌✊🌟❣️🌹
The Best one One Upon a time in a West !! Thank You Mark ....
I agree!! A week ago I scrolled and could not find it! Then it magically appeared! So good in my soul! Thank you Mark and DS! Pick!
Legend group,love group,legend guitarist 🎵🎶🎸🎼✌️🍀👌
I must admit the DS are not among my favourite bands, I mean I like very much the way MK plays and how he looks so humble in spite of being a legendary guitarist; but till now I only knew their hits such as 'Walk of Life', 'Money for Nothing' etc. This evening TH-cam has let me know this song and it's left me SPEECHLESS. Surely it'll get straight into my personal playlist! Thank you DS for such a work of art! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Check out Mark’s solo work too, a bit less guitar hero but very authentic.
LOLOLOL so you never heard Alchemy live?
@@2004lus No, I confess 😅
What a groove. Love the drumming.
On se réjouit de tout le plaisir qu'ils nous donnent. Wow
Blown away ... the band is so hungry, amazing artistry even at this early stage.
Mark Knopfler is such a cutie pie and a true talent!
❤❤❤❤che suono stupendo le sue manicantano insieme alla chitarra magico Mark❤
💃🎸Ouço suas composições minha vida inteira 💓Tive momentos incríveis e inesquecíveis 😁💪🏻🇧🇷😎🪻💃Obrigada!!
Un abrazo desde Santiago de Chile, tremenda Banda los Dire Straits!!!!!
ALWAYS GREAT FROM THE BEGINNING TO TODAY. SO MUCH FEEL GOOD TALENT.
Forty two years ago, I am still listening
I don't care what anybody says, this is a masterpiece
I agree wholeheartedly!!
Ditto
Dixième fois que j'écoute ce titre, pendant ce concert, et à chaque fois je découvre un son, un regard, un claquement de tonerre ou une syncope de la batterie, un ralentissement du rythme, le ronflement carré de la basse, tout qui s'emboîte à merveille pour notre plaisir émerveillé. La neuvième fois, j'étais concentrée sur le phrasé des mots, sur l'orgue, le tout, et le bonheur évident de MK à manager les musiciens, rien que cela, montrer son humour un peu cabotin au public, champagne et confetti. Quel concert attachant, quelle conjugaison de talents.
❤❤stupenda anche Questa puo cantare e suonare magistralmente mitico Mark❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We were so lucky to see them from the beginning
Мені було років двадцять, коли почув цю пісню. Вона зі мною все життя.
❤🎸🌹💕 SO BEAUTIFUL, Thank you so much Dire Straits❤🎸🌹💕
What a great performance by the classic Straits lineup 🎸
Dire Strais ❤forever Mark un genio con la guitarra🎸🎸🎸🎸💕
Non solo ma genio anche come autore, compositore e cantante.
Music at it's BEST!!! LEGENDS!!!!
To see Pick Withers is so amazing.
❤❤❤❤mitico Markpuoi cantare quello che vuoi che non si può dimenticare non parliamo delle tue mani fenomenali per sempre MARK ❤❤❤❤
My favourite Straits song!
Great version ❤
Mark & his Groups are a gift from the COSMOS -- This is us, before my train comes, telegraph road, sultans of swing, walk of life & others -- THE JOY YOU BRING MARK K Thanks!
The best guitar of all the time.
Recuerdo a mi padre poniendo el vinilo una y otra vez en nuestro tocadiscos. Desde entonces no he dejado de escucharlos, todos son geniales, pero Mark es increíble!
Exacta situación por aquí...se volvió mi banda favorita también.

Orgullosa de la herencia musical .....gracias padres, es la banda sonora de mi niñez y con 40 sigo escuchandola
Absolutely fantastic! 🎸 🥁 💯
Mark non sei di questo mondo sei speciale splendido unico meraviglioso❤❤❤
Esos Muchachos Eran y Siguen Siendo Geniales...
Por Siempre *Dire Straits*
Communique is my favourite Straits album. And this looked quite impressive on my 55inch Samsung. Cool 👍😎
Absolutely brilliant...love this song
J'ai connu l'époque du groupe, c'était un renouveau, dans le monde musical.
Fantastique, juste un son d une autre planète, reste abasourdi cet été 1978 en entendant « sultan of swing « sur la plage en Espagne ( Moraira)
So nice but Alchemy Live is really the best. That's the best live concert ever recorded by mankind to me. They had 4 years to play, train, rehearse until the day they recorded Alchemy Live. ❤️
I was there at that recording at the Hammersmith Odeon. Never to be forgotten 😊
😊o😊😊9o9o
That is absolutley true. Alchemie is the best live concert ever recorded by mankind. Thank you Dire Straits for that everlasting gift!
And Terry Williams made a huge difference!!
@@johnbeck1779 Yes, it made a big difference ... to the disadvantage 😞
MK at the peak of his powers... best drummer for the band Pick W.✅✅
Just seems like yesterday. Where in the hell have all the years gone?
Time certainly flies. I wasn't even here yet in 1980 I was born in 1985 but I do remember these guys growing up. Legends for sure.
I'm a huge fan of Mark and all the band members to date.....but love the way they match their strats! Mark wore red a lot...I can't help wondering if he was matching with his beloved strat!
Que de l’Amour pour ce Groupe qui a tant de Talent, Inégalable !!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Quelle voix séduisante vous avez mark😍 et puis vous êtes né avec une guitare 🎸 dans les mains 🤗 je vous adore, vous, votre musique et votre groupe ❤️🤍❤️🤍
Que saudades de VÊ-LOS. Faro verão 1992 ao VIVO.... Longa vida BANDA DIRE STRAITS..yeeeeee🎸
This is the first LP that I bought. Circa 1983. Ur the best
Sono Sempre e per SEMPRE il Gruppo Musicale Mitico.💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Слушаешь как добрую сказку. За окном идёт дождь. В руках чашка чая с лимоном. Идеально
Oh. Un whisky. Du jus de citron. Trois glaçons. De l'eau et Rosa qui ronronne.
Oui, parfait.
I love the bass in that song.
Smooth start off oh yeaaa. Such a classic piece of art. I love listening to this track on long drives 🚗
for me, '80 to '84 they were at their absolute best.
