Dire Straits Where Do You Think You're Going

[philkensebben]

Wow

[BillyVanHelsing]

Where was this show?

[cillajeanluvmayn]

@nana1lala2papa3gugu4 great comment.... yes that's what we want to hear!

[greasegun49]

He's not God of course. But his genius came from somewhere. My guess: God. 

[Osthful]

I laugh everytime a person refer a Great guitarist to God.

Awesome piece of music!

[nanimaren]

figata indegna

[waldogheadify]

This version of this song is the best piece of music on YouTube. WOW.

[Maxshard]

@waldogheadify I reckon Rockplast is an even better version. Knopfler was really on fire that night.

[dean24uk]

maybe the best song i have ever heard, and that's saying something..best version that i know too aswell, thanks so much for the upload,,

that guitar just sings over marks voice and sweet lyrics,

just too good for my calibre of words,

[temnavaa]

love hurts.... and then we have dire straits to heal our hearts </3

[DippyChap]

Damals war`s besser...

[LolaFloresyOLE]

In almost every video there is an ambient of sinergy betwen them which is sent tO the viewer. Same thing happens when you just listen to the music!

[marshaliss]

Like i said before.. its ok to dislike this if you are a truelly caveman f` you let us enjoy!

[makn0]

i don't know a lot of thing, but i know that, god has a red guitar,

[stretch90]

holy crap, that solo blows me away every time I hear it!

[trianerogitano]

que guitarra por dios el mejor

[The19763]

3:37 Hahahahahaha..... John Ilsley, get in there big man!!!

[wreyoG]

THAT RIFF!

[abir12501101]

I know where I'm going. Hence, I'm here.

Mark Knopfler, you're the best!

[phantomlord700]

20 people don't know where they're going

.... Simply amazing song

[Andraid1]

saw him last night and he was rocking as hard as in this vid LEGEND

[ric3ramos]

Absolutely unique those guys!!!

[Shirley4281]

I just love this-You sound Just like another Bob Dillion.This is Cool.Keep it coming.

[MrSpeedy4real]

Madness starts at 2:47

[MrPetermcguire]

It looks like John Isley is playing guitar. ( not bass )

[saykne]

My best BAAAAAAAAAAND

[hhera09]

i love this song!!!! i love dire straits!

[MrMigue143]

the perfection is really, and is called Dire Straits

[eyesontheplanet]

Of course MK was the key, but the original straits we really unique.

[sje73]

@eyesontheplanet Umm, Mark was the original Straits, him and David and John...

[eyesontheplanet]

@sje73 and Pick. And yeah I know he was the key, as I said. But revisit the band on youtube back to those days. A very cool foursome! Cheers!

[annaviolavagyok]

Can somebody tell me where or when was this concert?

pleease

[Thurzotron]

@annaviolavagyok Not sure when the concert was but this is footage from a documentary entitled Arena. It was from '80, the entire thing is on youtube. Dire Straits Arena '80

[viden1970]

nai dobrite ne super.niama dumi

[TheWhiteSilhouette]

Great!!!

[deanshaw64]

i was just breaking up with my girlfriend when this came out.

wow was it appropriate

to (almost) quote Douglas Adams, 'Mark Knopfler playing the Strender Stratocaster is like listening to a host of angels singing after a good session down the pub'

[Pentagon1311]

Come one million, come on!

[TheWhiteSilhouette]

The best version I ever heard... timeless song!

[iperscaramaco]

I'm 19 and i love Dire Straits.. They are my favourite band... Knopfler best musician ever!!

[Mercenario11]

@iperscaramaco Good for you mate, its nice to see young folks with such good taste. Don't loose that.

[MILUTINKA6]

Omiljena

[fernyap18]

Increíble... Me encantaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!

[elizabethmustdie]

...we're men,we're men in tights... =) obviosly I'm joking...simply amazing...when he smiles...this video is free hormones =D no one plays like mark

[SuperXouxou]

Unbelievable performance of MK and Dire Straits given the available technical means of that age... Not a single group nowadays would even take the risk of a wrong note in such a solo...

[BrQQQr]

версия супер! а песня просто шик...

[MKECBS1]

Where can i find the top that Knopfler is wearing, Its awesome!

[qubiq3]

@MKECBS1

in the 70s ^^

[doeberik]

i am saying....this a very good song to......discover new love

[biorhythms]

Wow--so amazing to see the original quartet right when they had just broken through. Great rendition of this song!! So much energy from a young Mark Knopfler. Thanks for posting!

[biorhythms]

[waldogheadify]

This is their best song and this is the best verison I have ever heard of it. Music genius.

[ibrahimtamerm]

the single most under rated band in the United States - in the US they went from Sultans of Swing to Money for Nothing....it seems everything in between went unheard.

[stookiebhoy]

The best band in the world.........................­.....ever. Thank God for Mark Knopfler, the saviour of a musical generation.

[Dualshock21]

@stookiebhoy No shit, Mark knopfler is the best

[GillCrockett]

@stookiebhoy yeh the best band i've ever seen in my life

[johnybladex]

STOP WRITING STUPID COMMENTS

(listen to the music god damn)

[fliese35]

hi ! in german ! das ist wohl einer der oder eher der beste song ! :-) love it !

[rickschwaab]

20 people don't know where they're going.

[tubekirch]

So cool. I have a strange feeling, that this kind of music wont be done anumore...

[freakoutguitar]

@tubekirch unfortunately I guess you're right.... so simple melody and lyrics but still so genius... love it!!

[eanielsen123]

@ivur8623 i think he is because unlike most every guitarist he can play a song a billion different ways and every way is unique and incredible. hes the only guitarist with a signature sound.

[Kenrae008]

@eanielsen123 Mark Knopfler is my favourite guitar player ever, but he isn't the only one with a signature sound. Santana, Clapton, Blackmore, Hendrix, Gilmour, Rosendo and some others (not many more) have their own sound.

[boristurkrab]

Can you tell me what concert this is, please? Cant read all of 563 comments:)

This is incredible, i would like to have it if its posible.. They are a world of its own....

[Thurzotron]

@boristurkrab It's from the '80 concert Arena. It was part of an hour long documentary on tv, the whole thing can be found on youtube in it's entirety. Very good, great insight into the head butting between the Knopfler brothers back then.

[boristurkrab]

@Thurzotron

Found it, thanx!

[naanabsoj]

@boristurkrab It's also on de Alchemy dvd

[1207arian]

thanks alot .this song makes my soul in peace .i have so many good and bad memories with this . i have to drink right now .thanks again

[kojeka]

PERFECT ....

[nana1lala2papa3gugu4]

Probably, the words of this song reflects the state of mind of every woman at some point in life. 'You know I like you to be free. Where do you think you're going I think you'd better go with me, girl'. I understood what's going on, and why Eric Clapton, sings 'You know it's just your foolish pride' when I fell in love. Pride, stubbornness, all this hubbub is needed only until we hear from the man "I think you'd better go with me, girl'..

[nana1lala2papa3gugu4]

@nana1lala2papa3gugu4 ....

but I still have foolish pride. I'm woman. 

[fapstyle06]

Which live is it ? love this version <3

[petestrat07]

19 people are bitter frustrated guitarist? Dunno, but I do know that Mark Knofpler is a gift to anybody with an appreciation for excellent musicianship.

[Thurzotron]

I scoffed quite a few times when I read the list and he wound up at number 27, what a fucking disrespectful joke

[GeorgeTel100]

@Thurzotron they dont put quality on top, only sex symbols, cause that's what sells



[AbsolutStrike]

Each time i was listening to this song, i was getting a very strange and beautiful feeling. After watching this video, i gave this feeling a new name and called it Mark Knopfler. No disrespect to all the other great guitarists but M.Knopfler should definitely be way higher than just 27th in the list. 3:54 minutes of... whatever. I tried really hard but words cannot describe something like this.

[Hemski1000]

Вы чего тут пишете? Песня просто супер! Никаких сравнений....Оцените мелодизм, люди......

[spragh]

@Hemski1000 Jeste,pjesma je sjajna

[court02380]

qui fait mieux aujourdhui.......!!!!!! it is great

[nickthesnowman]

Sideshow bob plays guitar?

[elsonfbs]

19 ppl think Justin Bieber is better music than this. Stupid ones !!!

[Medioda]

@MegaFrancky45

Y'en a qui devraient apprendre l'anglais (et à reconnaitre les guitaristes intéressants, mais c'est un autre problème)

[MegaFrancky45]

@Medioda

Désolé mais j'ai fait ce que j'ai pu avec mon niveau scolaire d'anglais de terminale !!!

Mais c'est mieux que ne rien dire en anglais et ensuite de critiquer les autres !!!

Quant à mon commentaire je l'ai supprimé après avoir averti Youtube car je n'ai jamais écrit ce genre de propos sur ce site. C'est insensé !!!

Bises.

[liminalnow]

This man has made my life worth living he is my rock. Absolute perfection always

[ledzanna]

O.M.G.!!!!

[Grendel650]

Fantastic show!



[farsah14]

that snapping sound followed by the rush of emotion at 00:40 sends chills down my spine. i think dire straits started off as a band with a matchless amount of talent and as they aged they became musical gods.

[jessiejking]

@farsah14 Couldn't of said it better myself. One of my favorite Dire Straits songs.

[PARANOID92883]

very nice



[Thurzotron]

It's from the Arena documentary from 80 I believe, or 79. One of those two years, full documentary is on youtube

[richo61]

Sends shivers down my spine.

[c2lhu]

please someone tell me which live is this? what year etc i wonna dl it

[c2lhu]

every note destroys you ..

[MpMgBR]

best song ever from dire straits

[superkazio]

I think some people just going through all movies on youtube and minusing everything. I can't believe how anyone could dislike this?

[eduf93]

We should be able to "like" this one more than one time -_-''

[CupcakeBg]

ostadoh bez teksta...fantasticno..

[MrBostrom155]

if i had 1% of mark his guitar skills i would be a guitar god....figure out what that makes him......

[GeorgeTel100]

@MrBostrom155 One of the best comments I've ever read, ever!  thank you!

[GeorgeTel100]

@MrBostrom155 One of the best comments I've ever read, thank you

[jouniku]

This performance is the essence of DIre Straits. I get goose bumps every time I listen to this. Just look at those guys groove together!!!!

[kurtcobainvn]

I love you !!!! MARK!!!!!

[hantoruxxx]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :o))))))))))))))))))))))))))))­))))))))))))

tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[cybermodo]

Dakle, bend za sva vremena, odkad znam za sebe! :)

[rockforheaven]

only think I don´t like about cigarettes is mark used it. Wish he didn´t.

[MsTilli86]

OMG!! 19 people don`t know what good music is...!!

[kraftwerk526463]

one of his finest songs A good version

[ProvGANG]

in this song is the best guitar solo I ever heard, this songs makes you start thinking about some things. It is inspiration.

[PedroAmaral16]

One of my favourites of Communiqué... The live performance is magic really!

[GeorgeTel100]

This guy is NOT human!.....

[mrengftw]

@Helena1204, Yeah thats indeed right. The first time I saw this, I was like "what hairstyle is that?". Luckely Mark got rid of it pretty quick. I like his short hair.

[Marikit777]

@mrengftw ...hahaha.. the perm from hell.. but bad hair, good hair, no hair.... I love Mark Knopfler to death! The guitar sound in this song, well, as in most songs, is sublime...

[DMMD01]

One of the best songs ever.

[jsebsteelguitar]

Une interprétation pleine d'âme de cette chanson déjà magnifique et sombre à souhait...

Une vrai leçon de musique et de guitare

[Dakotadeb211]

Beautiful! And I love the little smile in theorems of the song, he's precious,

[josansu75]

No tengo palabras......

[MrRoughArse]

there is only one word you need for this song"classic"AND THEY GOT BETTER AS IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE i still listen to this and it still blows my mind

[lyonslaforet]

Do you know which year it was recorded?

[Piorkshire]

simply wonderful.

[ledzanna]

18 persons need a urgent brain implanting!!!

[AHPmota18]

i love this song.....

i have to listen this song every day....

it make me think about life.....

[Helena1204]

With all my respect to Mr. Knopfler ... i think that day he had a huge fight with the brush...

[HuDaFuK]

@Helena1204 The 80s - good for music, bad for hair.

[avidbookreader]

@Helena1204 LOL, that's got to be the funnist comment here.:D

Though I love Mark Knopfler to death, I have to agree with you about the "fight with the brush" part, hahaha.

Or he should've chosen a better hairstylist, if he ever had one.:D

But it doesn't matter how his hair look like, with or without headband, he is (and will always be) my most favourite musician.:)

[inheaven93]

two words... PER-FECT

[gregory4kzn]

kere3



[Gretchishkin]

Author has a right to sing on so high emotional level. Wonderful video with young Knopfler. I love first three albums more than the others. But once Mark became really new stream musician - from "Golden heart" in 1996. And then third (most happy) marriage so.

[waldoghead]

If there is a better live version of anything out there, please point me to it. Senfucking sational.

[HuDaFuK]

@waldoghead Check out their set from Mandela's 70th birthday. It used to be on YouTube, I assume it still is. It's unbelievable.

[arahig]

@HuDaFuK Sultans of swing with Clapton is the most uncredible music scene i ever seen and listen

[AHPmota18]

wonderfull this music

i lovet

[k24p16s]

"If you ain´t with me girl...you´re gonna be without me!" Punisher Knopfler! Brilliant recording!!

[123Wolfie00700160741]

Il Will always luv you

Ki. tt . y

[SzybkaForsa]

Remember people! This song was written thanks to Holly Vincent.

[Antony2ru]

[Bennie98]

OMG, 16 people do not know what good music is... :/

[Helena1204]

@Bennie98 19 !

[Bennie98]

@Helena1204 yes :) it took two months to get three more... apparently not such a bad song after all... :D

[kujtafull]

19 people i think ther going to hell

[LesPaulZoso94]

@Bennie98 idiot and stupid people

[waldoghead]

This is probably not one of the great songs of all time and his voice is nowhere near perfect but if there is a better piece of music out there than this, tell me.

[ColtraneTaylor]

@waldoghead Most of the videos in my channel.

[gospodjica74]

absolutely wonderful...music, guitar, voice, emotion...pure perfection!

[MORK3Y]

[vperun10]

00:01-03:54 - pure bliss

[alragoth2]

@ivur8623 i agree except for the one of part

[grijanderful]

what does it left from this passionated knopfler?

[waldoghead]

If this doesn't do it for you, check your pulse. FanFUCKINGtastic.
