Great live version ,superb guitar and the grim message in the LYRICS , Mark said it's was inspired by a gospel vocal group he met when on tour in U.S. and how they couldn't get served in restaruants down south.
Don't think he met them. They were called the Fairfield four. A 50s gospel group, he read their liner notes which inspired the lyrics. It is on his interview with Parkinson.
Ooh, to find a live-version of this beloved sad-sad-blues is a valueless gift. It looks as though I've pushed my luck too far...."baloney (a type of sausage) again ...". Amin!
And this is why whatever they play on top 20... Bieber, Swift, Perry, rap, etc is crap for tweens only...this song is when you develop a conscience you create something called .....music.
Love when Knopfler have a jazzy guitar playing...
He have a wonderful dark tone and overdrived sound on his Gibson Les Paul.
Incredible live version!
Greatest of the last 40 years
by far the greatest guitarist on the planet....

As someone put it succinctly, those are mere celebrities. Mark Knopfler is a Musician.
