my dad played this song a few times when i was a small child. it never stayed in my mind but when i heard it again many years later it struck me as something that was always there in the back of my mind. The amount of emotion in this is incredible.
Every time i listen to this, it leaves me speechless, there's ain't word to describe this kind of feeling. Just a pity, that he don't include this stuff on his solo concerts.
Speechless, is an accurate thing that happens when I regularly listen to this song, that, and a tide of emotion that enters my soul; such a wonderful song by Mark; the other one that gets me is the Planet of New Orleans....such pristine compilations....he plays the guitar at such ease, like he is effortlessly hosing a lawn. He is magnificence personified.
i had the privilege to see this incredibly amazing band performing live in italy on sept.1992.Just thrilling.Thanks for your music,thanks for your lyrics,thanks for your songs,Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.
Certainly my favorite guitar sound... I'd like to know how he get this "out of phase LP" sound with the bridge EMG pickup of his Pensa Suhr.... Amazing.
The solo that starts at 3;45 is simply breathtaking. As good as it gets when your are feeling the strings. This solo and his equally great Sultans-solo are for me bookends of what this extraordinary guitarist can do. Absolutely class!
capolavoro! una delle mie preferite degli Straits.... chissà che emozione doveva essere essere lì ed ascoltare questa canzone nel buio dello stadio...
Thats the beauty if you ask me, of Mark Knopflers music. The lyrics are often quite simple, written as random commentary on life or on a situation, and even though those lyrics can be quite powerful at times, they serve mostly to give background to what the guitar is saying. Ive always felt Mark Knopfler has vocal chords, but uses his guitar to say what he really feels. Every song a composition! Thank you Mark for enriching my life with your awe striking guitar playing!
Had the privileged of having great seats at a concert in Philly ((++ he had Clapton and most of the great guitarist their playing))<<<------died and went to heaven!! This is how "instruments" were meant to be played,,now in 2011,,,,do these babies have anything close<<---NO !!!

When I was in college and I wanted to ace an exam, I'd get a six pack of Coors and turn on Dire Straights and study away while listening to Art Bell after listening to Larry King (on radio). Then, at about 2.30 a.m. after pounding down the beer, it was on to a couple of pots of coffee till crashing about 5.30 a.m. After a couple hours of sleep, I'd always ace the exam. Thanks to Dire Straights for helping me stay on the dean's list all of those years down in Lincoln. :)
shades of Ry Cooder at the start, this album is great , unfortunatly it followed B I Arms and didn t stand a chance but i love it. Makin Movies is still my fave period, saw them two nights odeon b,am for about a fiver.............. happy days just SKATED AWAY
Simply one of the best live performances of this track, has anyone noticed the right and left audio channels are reversed, and yes it does make a difference.

I've been coming back to this video and each time I'm left speechless... don't know what to say...oh Mark, if you only know what your music and guitar do to me.
This music has the soul of its own, which lives and progresses just like the soul of a human being, only pure and chaste. Guitar was the body that gave birth to this new soul and Mark was the Creator.

@MrBrendanfox73 Yes, it is. I got both the DVD and the CD version (big Dire Straits fan). Amazon.com has it in stock but you can probably get it from other online shops as well. Don't know about regular music shops though, here in my country they only stock up on crap like Lady Gaga and other present day crap.
