Mark Knopfler has it all, songwriter, producer, lyricist, guitar player extraordinaire, his emotional playing, his tone and touch, and note selection is second to none.
I love the musicality of this band...all great musicians ... Marks playing always gets me right there ... been lucky enough to see them about six times way back ...
The sounds coming from Mark's guitar are magical. No other guitar player has the effect on me that Mark does. Hauntingly beautiful. What a gift Mark has given the world.
Now that's how you do live music at their peak Dire Straits were in another league and MK imo the greatest guitar player to set foot on earth he sings then the guitar sings Epic
Hey thanks for your reaction. I really love this performance. I get the same chills from Private Investigations from the same concert. It's so haunting and beautiful. Loving your channel. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
Thanx sooo much for your great reaction, and mega happy you went for this Live video as suggested, and not the boring commercial ‘official route’, which I personally always give a miss. This concert is full of absolute gems from MK & DS so check ‘em out too when you have a mind to. I know you weren’t too bothered by not listening to them, but Marks storytelling lyrics are definitely worth looking into, especially for this particular song/hymn. Dire Straits was a band of exceptional musicians, but it’s an acknowledged fact that Mark as lead singer/songwriter, guitarist & composer was the driving force behind this band’s collective musical accomplishments. I❤MK
Dire Stratis or Mark Knopfler are always better heard live. Studio versions fail to capture the essence of the group. Always listen to DS live, you won't regret it.
You want to hear REAL musicians playing music that will take you to places you never knew existed, then check out Pink Floyd especially the Pulse concert. Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, High Hopes, Run Like Hell, Wish You Were Here, Coming Back To Life and many more. You can thank me later. That being said, Dire Straits are simply amazing...love them!
Mark shows great tone.BEAUTIFUL SONG.BEST ALBUMS:DOWN THE ROAD WHEREVER AND ONE DEEP RIVER.VERY UNDERRATED GUITARIST.

really enjoyed your review of Brothers in Arms one of my favorite music pieces of all time
A legendary performance that stopped all the musicians back stage to stop and stare in awe. One of the best live performances in rock.
Mark is a spectacular guitar player. His notes while fingering the strings are haunting.
You get it and that's a art in its self '
Mark Knopfler - Finest musician of his generation.
Mark’s guitar is said to be plugged into his heart
I've always been a Dire Straits fan, but I also get a kick out of watching new, younger generations discovering and appreciating them 😊

One of very very few guitarists I would immediately recognise by his style in just two or three chords

The BEST version of this song was Mandela concert 1988 brothers in arms!! and sultans and romeo
Goosebumps ♥❤
The inclusion of the peddle steel .... inspired.. beautiful..
No One ever will be able to cover Mark , never ever . He is and was One of One Like so many others
Great reaction 👌
Great reaction to such a brilliant performance of this iconic song. For a different vibe, listen to ‘Calling Elvis’ from the same concert.
I posit that the Mandela concert version from 1988 even trumps that. Much more raw, too.
No words to say about something like that...just cry...❤❤❤❤❤

Oh dear live version is even million times better than the video version .
Matilda Knopfler is a musical genius and rock god legend.
Check out "You and your friend" from the same concert, goosebumps guaranteed as well....🙂
Great reaction check out private investigations from this concert
Thanks for another great Dire Straits reaction. I always enjoy them. Keep em comin'. 😊
The best version is Mandela live 1988!
-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run')

Please react to Private Investigations from the same concert. You won’t regret it!
As a veteran this song hits hard in way the average civilian don't understand
