He doesn't solo because he has way to much respect for Mark, leaving him to solo whenever he wants. They are very close friends, it's just natural that he seems comfortable with Mark. They're both guitar gods! :)
@@NoOne-kr4jc Have you seen how often Clapton backs knofler and vice versa, if you do your research then you will find that they play together OFTEN, but you obv haven't done any homework on the both of them as friends as well as partners on stage..
@@russelljohncochrane1533 Well no need to be like that but there's a difference between perhaps music business friends and close friends. Some ppl are complete loners when the media is off of them. Its like another face.
@@NoOne-kr4jc Me being a musician can say, we love music and love to play. We do not play just as a MERE PERFORMANCE. ONCE WE GEL WITH ANOTHER MUSICIAN (BIG / SMALL) we just ENJOY. True musicians have no feeling of big / small, senior/ junior. For example Chet Atkins was older to Mark / Clapton, yet he respected them, vice-versa too. 🤗 CHEERS MANN 👍. HAVE A GOOD DAY
Clapton is such a class act, his respect for fellow muscians is over the top. He never tries to take over, or grand stand. I have seen him 2xs, many years ago. I'm 65 year old girl, & still playing air guitar ,dancing & singing. Thank you to the Music Giod's for all the amazing music I grew up on & fed off.
It's so cool to see two guitar legends together. EC and MK have played so much for each other as lead and rhythm guitars, so we can consider them as guitar duo. Greetings from Armenia.
when I was very young, my dad was turning on this song, and we were dancing to it :) this is the song of my early childhood, maybe that's why i'm 16 now and prefer to listen to Eric Clapton, Dire Straits and other good artists, than simple comercial music ;)
Eric Clapton (guitar/vocals), Nathan East (bass), Mark Knopfler (guitar), Alan Clark (keyboards), Steve Ferrone (drums), Tessa Niles (vocals), and Katie Kissoon (vocals). Elton John joined the band for several dates, including this one.
I've just watched four or five videos of Clapton/Knopfler, and I'm struck by two things: Clapton never seems to solo when Knopfler's onstage, and Clapton has never, ever seemed more comfortable in the company of another musician than he is when he's with Knopfler.
What can one say about the best there is!!! I could watch this 10 times and not be bored - Marc was in Montreal just recently and sold out completely - my loss this time!
I saw the 1988 tour when they played Nassau Colisseum in New York. It was AWESOME and this video really captures it. I was in college and didn't know my ass from my elbow back then -- at least I was smart enough to know that I was seeing two music legends. Great video!
Love how they utilize the chords from "Rainy Day Women" (by Bob Dylan) to get locked in sync with one another. A total of 5 times before stepping to the mics.
when i first heard this song when i was young i thought strait off it was Dire Straits because if the song style was similiar to the very early DS stuff. but dam it was eric. im sooooo sooooo happy to find this vid with MK (the legend that is) and eric. thank you very much for posting MK rules
Very pleased to hear how well Knopfler goes along with "the older guys"...( the late but forever) Chet Atkins and here with EC. In E.C.'s recent concert the influence on E.C. was reMARKable... Bernard
I woke up today with this song stuck in my head and here I am looking for it on TH-cam. These guys rock. EC could be mistaken as a brother with a voice like that.
Like how you can 'let it ring,' is so sweet on the guitar, as I have heard this on yur album; Eric. Close 2 bein my fave, but then I would have t think of Stevie, whom my tears are being shed for. I recently learned about his great success and then tradgedy. I am so sad. I am so sorry and so very sad, Eric, and for your agent and for your son. I love mark's pikin in this
2 des meilleurs guitaristes au monde . . . vivants encore.! (avec Santana , Roger Waters et d'autres que j'oublie ). J'espère pouvoir les voir encore sur scène. Longue vie à eux et à moi aussi 🤔 À vous aussi qui me lisez 😉🤣
@Stratocasterhead51 You're right. My son, born in 1990, grew up listening my time music (I'm born in 1960): Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, Clapton, Hendrix, Santana .... He learned what good musis is. Now he's teaching me there's yet some good music.
Mark is a genius guitar player and songwriter. Just listen to Mark, Chet Atkins with the Everly Brothers and Micheal McDonald doing Why Worry which Mark wrote for the Everlys. A beautiful song.
There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me. I know you've got somewhere to go, But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave. Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms. Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon. I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
I agree this isn't much faster if any than the original. Look at these two pros grinnin and havin a great time playing their asses off! It's contagious.
Two of the Top Guitarists on the same stage. It doesn’t get much better than this
Three. Nathan East.
Jeah, hes a upper shelf player on the bass@@noldo3837
He doesn't solo because he has way to much respect for Mark, leaving him to solo whenever he wants. They are very close friends, it's just natural that he seems comfortable with Mark. They're both guitar gods! :)
How do you know they are close?
He never soloes on Lay Down Sally no matter who he's playin with

From what I've heard, Mark Knopfler is one of the nicest guys in the music industry.
I met him and he was a bit of a twat. Others have said that too.
Eric and Mark, the two sweet guitar tone legends!
I could listen to each version all day...Mr Clapton has nothing to prove...his excellence shows by his letting Mark take lead...awesome musicians !!!!
The best version and combination of talent ever of 'Lay Down Sally' One of the greatest to dance to, too!
It's so cool to see two guitar legends together.
EC and MK have played so much for each other as lead and rhythm guitars, so we can consider them as guitar duo.
Greetings from Armenia.
the voice of Eric is brilliant, the solo of MK is fantastic!
Clapton & Knopfler having fun making music
Mark and Eric....Legends in their own time !!
when I was very young, my dad was turning on this song, and we were dancing to it :) this is the song of my early childhood, maybe that's why i'm 16 now and prefer to listen to Eric Clapton, Dire Straits and other good artists, than simple comercial music ;)
Genius is not good enough to describe Mark's talent and ability! Another word need inventing just for musical geniuses like him.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND RIGHTLY SAID. 🔝
Mark is to guitarists what Einstein is to physicists...
I am in heaven listening to to this , Knopfler gives it an extra edge although it was already amazing. Two Gods working together
One of the best Rock/blues performances I have seen. Wish I have been there!!
My 2 favorite guitarists 🎸 ❤️ ❤️

Cuz Mark Knopfler is the greatest of all-time.
Cuz Clapton only feels threatened by other blues guitarists
Maybe Clapton never wanted to be the leader, so he's happy to give the spotlight to Knopfler, who loves his solos
Two of the best,and a classic song
Those three guys are really having a good time.
two guitars monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh yessss indeed, i agreeee
Legends is a better word . I don’t see them as monsters
Two great stars perfoming a great numer. Great one by Clapton
Quentin Fernandez
wooow, they r both so young in this video!!! Brings me back to my childhood...Before Clapton's UNPLUGGED album
two guitar legends
What can one say about the best there is!!! I could watch this 10 times and not be bored - Marc was in Montreal just recently and sold out completely - my loss this time!
Knopfler y Clapton juntos sobre un escenario no hay palabras para poder describir esto…….
I saw the 1988 tour when they played Nassau Colisseum in New York. It was AWESOME and this video really captures it. I was in college and didn't know my ass from my elbow back then -- at least I was smart enough to know that I was seeing two music legends. Great video!
probably one of the best version....mark is so so beautiful on that guitar....
I love Clapton; love Mark Knopfler; and love this song!
With respect to the previous comment, it doesn’t get better than this, period. What could possibly make this performance better? Nothing.
MK is king of solos ......
Love how they utilize the chords from "Rainy Day Women" (by Bob Dylan) to get locked in sync with one another. A total of 5 times before stepping to the mics.

MK rules
Does anybody else think of Chet Atkins smiling when Mark plays his solo?
Very pleased to hear how well Knopfler goes along with "the older guys"...( the late but forever) Chet Atkins and here with EC.
In E.C.'s recent concert the influence on E.C. was reMARKable...

Thank God for JJ Cale, The King of the Tulsa Blues. Both legends on this stage learned from that man. R.I.P. JJ Cale , Legend.
Ah, Mark Knopfler. One of the rare awesome guitarists that played with his fingers.
it is tough to play with your elbows
Eric, you are the best !!!!
I woke up today with this song stuck in my head and here I am looking for it on TH-cam. These guys rock. EC could be mistaken as a brother with a voice like that.
Gentlemen of 🎼 rock'n roll ♦️
My 2 favorite guitar players of all times!
You just KNOW that Knopfler had never played that solo before. Pure inspiration and brilliance produced that!
that was incredible, knopfler is blessed what a live performance!!
Classical rock and roll ❤
How much I love you Eric
Two of the best guitarists ever.
I love how Clapton is vibing in the beginning
Like how you can 'let it ring,' is so sweet on the guitar, as I have heard this on yur album; Eric. Close 2 bein my fave, but then I would have t think of Stevie, whom my tears are being shed for. I recently learned about his great success and then tradgedy. I am so sad. I am so sorry and so very sad, Eric, and for your agent and for your son. I love mark's pikin in this
Absolutely sick...highlight of this show for me..i love how clapton is in awe of knopfler..gotta give credit when credit is due..great players..
Eric Clapton, que delicia escucharlo en plena pandemia.... GRANDIOSO....me encanta....Un saludo desde mi Colombia...🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴...2021...⭐⭐⭐
Clapton + Knopfler + Sally = the holy trinity. i am saved.

J'espère pouvoir les voir encore sur scène.

A great version by two masters.
Mark Knopflers Gitarrenspiel dominiert wieder einmal mehr
two great
@Stratocasterhead51
You're right.
My son, born in 1990, grew up listening my time music (I'm born in 1960): Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, Clapton, Hendrix, Santana ....
He learned what good musis is.
Now he's teaching me there's yet some good music.
Great music!!!!
Fantastic duo: the legends of the rocks
Eric and Mark rock on forever.
POWERFUL ARRENGEMENT.... ERIC YOU ARE THE BEST AS USUAL!!!!!!!
i dont care what some billboard magazine list says.
these are 2 of the 3 greatest guitar players ever! (bb king being 3rd and clapton being GOD)
Absolutely amazing
The part I like is 0:00-6:27
Yep nailing it

Amazing, the guitar Gods together
Mark is a genius guitar player and songwriter. Just listen to Mark, Chet Atkins with the Everly Brothers and Micheal McDonald doing Why Worry which Mark wrote for the Everlys. A beautiful song.
the legends together really brilliant
Knopfler, super guitariste !
Watching him play, answers a big question for me. I never could even get started on guitar. Look at Mark's thumbs ! His are twice as long as mine are.
The two best gitarrit of the world!!!!!
this is an amazing song
Great musicians!!
It doesn't get any better than this!
Egos at the door? Clapton knows that Knopfler is the superior artist.
GOD I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
another great 12 bar.......................merry xmas..............
I'm pretty sure as long as these guys have been at it and as talented as they are....they don't get jealous when around someone else thats good.
Really rocking the emotion of these soundscapes!
My dog is also a Sally. I was tuning this when I got him. Sorry for your loss.
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
Very good that Eric song lead by mark guitar solo.
Always loved Marc Knoflers playing....would love to see him on stage with David Gilmore......
YES
What an intro. Swanky. 👍
Najlepszy duet gitarowy ❤️😘
9 people have a different taste in music, and I can respect that
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
