Mark Knopfler Live At The Albert Hall 2005 -Sultans Of Swing

[MelosAntropon]

Recorded an album with Chet Atkins. Because Chet *requested* he do so. That tells you everything you need to know about him as a guitarist.

[rolesvill]

most the others got so "high" they floated into the abyss

I love the look on his face as he listens through the headphones and hears something he liked or a mistake everyone missed at 4:35. How awesome this is as he just keeps getting better.

[cpu64]

If God one day decided to come down to earth, and say: "You have been a faithful servant and I'm pleased with how you lived your life.. Ask of Me anything and it shall be yours..." I wouldn't think twice about my answer:

MAKE ME ALMOST AS AWESOME AS MARK KNOPFLER!!

[rondalarue]

[ronnied828]

I always thought that Mark was a great, great guitarist that was underrated !

[shivakanom]

Mark and his guitar are a legend. Never gets old.

[dldonaho]

He just keeps getting better with age!

[TheBadStyler]

wow i love it

[midhurst14]

He sounds better now then he did back when he was young! A legend!

[spock8131]

@midhurst14 He was never young playing that guitar.

[dthevideofan657289]

I have to love the rock stars that just keep going to the end of their days. Mark is definitely one of them. A true legend of rock and roll.

[TheMoccafaux]

großvater of rocknroll ! yeah !

große kunst, lässig gespielt.

[Rohitsiemens]

[Monilikesmusik]

Thank you very much. Excellent Video!! 

Mark is the greatest guitarist and an excellent songwriter from the wold. *****

[Lecio1]

Esse carinha que gravou isso esta de parabens, da pra ver o sacrificio. Beleza, maravilha, é o nosso rock and roll, e pelo que o neguinho esta escrendo abaixo Sr. Mark Knopfler esta comemorando os seus 60 year´s age. É mole?? Parabenssss. beautifull. Ah, ainda bem que guitarista não adquire tendinite, senão... oh nois..na roça

[itsux3]

First time I saw him without hair. Still rocking with that cool pro classy style. Who put his mic that high? He stretches to sing.

[Sachi7733]

1985... 2005 ... zwanzig jahre später kann er' s so schön wie immer!!!!!!!!

[Pondview126]

I love you Mark! You are the best singer/guitar player/songwriter in the world.

[emraharar]

he is a greath man

[sejo78]

U gotta love them.....forever!!!!

[cmsanders99]

i hope this in the tour again

[Crow1381]

Rrrrrrrrrrrroooooock 'n' Rrrrrrrrroooooolll!!!! Love and Peace from Hannover/ Germany

[tinman1708]

Shredded

[ranger59]

Listen to that. He Still kills it. Way to go Mark.

[simzter2008]

Effortless. This can only be discribed as a lesson from the master. Getting on is old Knopfler and as a young musician It's upsetting never having been see him play live. This is epic footage of a true legend dominating the field of guitar playing in modern times. In my opinion he set the bar in 1984 when he released this song - and to date, though many greats have emerged no one has played anything quite as raw and influencial as the live performances of this particular song since.

[frenchbaziel]

go and see him on tour right now!

[taariqtaariq]

@simzter2008 sultans of swing came  out first in late 1978.

[rabbitflink]

music my friends...music..i am glad to hear still good music in these times....

[Arath1992]

this man is a legend as simple as that

[Nymphetamine3856]

man.., they really are a legend...this song is damn vintage...

[Dragon0181]

that is best music in the world

[1iruni]

Mark is My Life

[SunTeleLeo]

There are two ENTITIES in rock that were really INNOVATIVE

Beatles

and DIre Straits

(sorry Pink Floyd)))

[nfox25]

How was Pink Floyd not innovative?

[T42please]

That is so true, and by a long way. Hendrix could only have dreamt of being the guitar player that this guy is and as you said it comes down to Knopfler and Lennon + their bands.

[chiffmonkey]

Lol how can you not count pink floyd? Go listen to high hopes and say that again.

[Neguibb]

Yeahh....that´s right....amazing...

[an651m]

Mark is the best

[RUBENPEREZmusic]

este gran carajo sigue tocando como siempre,sin duda uno de los mejores guitarristas,

thanx for posting the video,

[sativatage]

Check out Dayton Waters version of this song..It rocks!!!!totally amazing and Mark would be proud!!!

[MAPastorelli]

Mark Knopfler is the best !!!!

[Maguirearch]

Yes This guy is a cut above the rest...Rock music is dominated by tunes about Love and sex at least this guy can tell an interesting storey...ie Telegraph Road...great tune that

[SunTeleLeo]

You bet

and Romeo and Julliet) too

and many more there check MARK out)

if you like guitar listen to "Communique" albumn

[RezaMorovat]

Thanks for filming and sharing this with millions of his enthusiasts. The man is simply a genius and a legend.

[brutux29]

BEST GUITAR MEN ONLY MARK KNOPFER

[vanadiumV]

oh my god !!! what happen to this man !!!

he completely metamorphosed in 20 years 1985 - 2005

look at young mark here watch?v=Re9qdd6GdTg

[bluesBro18]

he aged?

[OfficialNeilGard]

he looks the same to me, a bit thinner then and more curly hair. But obviously the same person

[flyingwhitetiger135]

I despise the fools who cant appreciate what music is, and always should be. Food for the soul

[MKECBS1]

This man, his music, and that dam fine guitar style, are effectivly the soundtrack to the best monets of my life so far.

Cannot wait to see him next year in London. I only wish the younger generation that im in, would appreciate the genius of his songwriting and skill, and not just call it 'old dads music'

[cornelisX]

I like him and I'm 15 ;)

Hope I will see him this summer in Holland.

[CB20092]

No one like him..... GREAT!

[RICOLEAL]

Uma das melhores musicas..ever!!

Obrigado..Thank you!!!

[Jac21595921]

Doesn't even have to look at his guitar when he plays anymore, while playing a song most people would have trouble with. That is truly epic.

[sarino51]

grande musica riesce a dare anima alla sua chitara........(°..°)

[potetta]

He reminds me of chevy chase

[localhero635]

Thank you for posting!

[an651m]

awesome

[AlexKeith7]

You can have the best tecnique in the workd. But you'll never get even close to Mark Knopfler's style. Thank you again, Mark! Great performance.

[taariqtaariq]

@AlexKeith7 actually to play all of the raked and quickly muted notes finger style ,takes a lot of practice.

[twadlesaur]

This has quickly become my favorite version of this song.

Those are the most beautiful solos I've ever heard...

Nobody does it like Mark Knopfler.

[Valeriamega]

Inigualável, brinca com as notas.

[twadlesaur]

He may not play with as much energy as he used to, but his guitar keeps getting better and better

[Passiej90]

A million thumbs up for MK

[marcae7]

grandioso mark sos un dios¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[79cella]

thank you Mark for your songs.....dire straits for ever....from italy

[gitaar1983]

[Mikettown]

@gitaar1983 I'm sure that he slept with it for many years.

[lazzz77]

That strat was born into Mark's hands :-)))

[JOKERLAD19]

wembley 85 is the best version ,, in his prime , check it out.

[gytarok]

[tompa666]

[TirilGirl]

He can play guitarr like no one else, so beutiful.

[Cedricks74]

I agree with patajaluster and He can play guitar like no one else, so beautiful. It is pure harmony , classical music tricks and sounds like blues jazz and country all together.

Me gustaría ser ingles para saber de verdad como son sus poemas!

Amo tudo que ele fez, de duzentas musicas reconheço todas.

[copilul1]

i think i am in love with Mark.. And now that he is older his voice is sooo sexy... and what about THAT guitar :X

[williedb47]

Excellent. Mark is a Legend. Nadine

[Mikettown]

I think his thinning hair looks better now than in '85

[MsteriousMelinda]

Awesome video...thanks sooo much for sharing.

[fjelly0]

wonderfoolish guitar picking!

[patajaluster]

O cara toca demais, ainda ninguém chegou aos seus pés quando se trata de tocar guitarra!!!!!

[Cedricks74]

I agree with patajaluster and He can play guitar like no one else, so beautiful. It is pure harmony , classical music tricks and sounds like blues jazz and country all together.

Me gustaría ser ingles para saber de verdad como son sus poemas!

[yossisun]

legend legend legend

[marnixgroet]

He's in a class of his own. And talent is there or not, that's nothing to do with age.

[ScottKilbourn]

Knopfler rules and this is one of their greatest hits! Rock on Mark!

[metalfuror]

all the young punk players now, couldnt even tune marks guitar!!

[tinaturnerbigfan2]

OMG... he looks so old for his age.. but he still rules like he did before! (OBVIOUSLY) my idol since i was 7 years old ... im only 11 now but still.. YOU ROCK MARK!

[redfenderguy]

lol

[spennithorne1]

He's 61, and plays way better than any fuckin punk of 13 or 31.

[darrenburns123]

@spennithorne1 61? FFS HAVING SAID THAT FORGOT HOW LONG AGO SULTANS WAS OUT, HE IS A LEGEND, EFFORTLESS,

[rolesvill]

@spennithorne1 heas been playing longer than most ... all the great musicans from the 60's n 70's ..their dying out..

once mark is gone, roger... pete. idk who'll be left

[juliette0456]

He defines cool, even more so as he ages.

[oldfart4751]

Mark is 56 or 57 here, I know he is a couple of years younger than me, I am 62 now. Like me he is still young inside, Love the guy (not in a sexual way) and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[3439ra]

good. but swap that steve guy with chester;P that aint workin

[pekkla]

Wow. I love Mark Knopfler. There is something so fresh about him. Never a cheesy "overperformer" onstage, if you know what I mean. And smart. I read recently that he is a college grad worked in journalism before Dire Straits.

[GuitaristJayy]

ahh, he looks different lol

[vahine28gckMoa]

thats right hes one of the best.

[amozartii]

He's AMAZING plain & simple!! ONE OF THE BEST!

[fuch690]

great mark

[2kath51]

old age???? anybody who plays like he does (which nobody can since chet atkins died)will EVER grow old...not in my rock and rock eyes..he's as wonderful as ever.

[CzikoMiko]

Don't expect him to jump around like a wildoo. He doesnt have to. He speaks through his guitar. All the best Mark <3

[Jakebooy69]

Mark Knopfler and eric Clapton are in my opinion best guitar players ever! Gotta say that Eric Johnson rocks too, watch cliffs of Dover... amazing 1! 5 stars for mark and sultans of swing / dire straits

[dangervich]

"So sad he's getting old." LOL! What? Are you getting younger? Like, he's 50 or something, which means he's got 30 years to do things you couldn't even dream of!

[Quake120]

Mark Knopfler: The GOD of finger-picked guitar!

So sad that he's getting old, although he is still easily one of the best guitar players alive, even in his old age!

[91Slashisme]

Mark doesn't never get old.......'cause he lives and speaks with his guitars.....he will live forever in our hearts

[LindaUKRose]

I love this man !

[RougeMongoose]

He aint past his best YET!!!!!

[klg320]

still has it....oh yeahh...

[JohannesCarlsson]

6:21

[missismercury]

[penpitstop1980]

yes, there is certainly something very sexy about him!!!

[JawsManoeuvres]

6:49

[guitarnoob14]

[JawsManoeuvres]

[lanower]

uuuh marcuccio come sei invecchiato XD

[berzerker689]

JAJAJAJJA cierto XD

[Cappongo]

se parece a clint eastwood xD

[popoaggie]

He's still got it!

[oloap4891]

Un Talento Spaventoso!

[bdac14]

Mark Knopfler absolutely rocks.

I first heard this song in 1977 when

I was a teen.

It sticks to this day as a favourite.

[AndreRed90]

A genius !

[jetlamit]

Legend ...

[mimi2957]

Being a rock star is the coolest thing on the planet - but I think I would lose my will to live after playing the same song 157 or so times. Still better than a job job, of course, but still.

[davey1272250]

True - i think they perform it out of duty sometimes, but other times if you`re feeling the vibe, old worn songs are cool. And they don`t get cooler than Sultans! Mark looks disinterested at times, but then the playing is exceptional.

[Jonnypcl]

You have to remember that he ain't that youngster from his 20's like before. He's getting old, and I've noticed that he has gone "calm" alot. Some stay very wild even at older ages, though mark just isn't that type.

[chunkeytabby]

Thanks for sharing. Good job with camera work, too. Saw the band here in Chicago and love Mark!Appreciate it.

[lucasdire]

o melhor! sem outras palavras!

[80sGirlfan]

OMG!! He ROCKS!!!! 5*!

[penpitstop1980]

wow!! a m azing! long live MK!!! anybody any idea how to put these onto mp3 player??

[80sGirlfan]

Yes, you have to download a YouTube video converter (Google search).

I found a YT converter that is very easy to use...just write down on Goolge: "YouTube mp3video converter DVDsoft", and you`ll find the web page to download and install it on your PC. Then, you just have to copy the URL from this video and paste into the converter box and It`ll start downloading the song. I hope this can help you.

Regards!

[popomczowzow]

I wanna jam with MK soooooo bad

[oldfart4751]

I was at this concert, awesome!

[knopflergod]

great!!!!!

[TIDOWNOW]

We were lucky enough to see him live in DC... please, do the same!! Words are not enough! ;-)

[ronboy51]

Yeah, I was also at this concert. It's a memory that will stay with me forever.

[niccko69]

oh my holy god .... u're a lucky !!!!

[vance640]

Time will bring down everything ultimately...But even though a little of spring still clings (somehow desperately) to these golden fingers..This will be remembered in our frozen hearts when everything else is forgotten...sigh

[SamborRayVaughn]

Sack the drummer. Please learn to do a decent drum roll without using the snare drum ALL THE TIME. Respect to MK still plucking away after all these years

[pisulo]

Lol at the drummer @ 8:07.....

[tnakkio]

Ma come suonaaaaaaa!!!!!!FANTASTICO!!!

[gregkerkyra]

[Zrashy]

The hair and headband is gone, but the rest is definately still there. Gotta love Mark!

[babylad]

wow you can still be the same but can change alot from 85 live aid concert to now in 05. Life's too fast. He still plays it like nothing...

[OmegaCentauri3]

[LindaUKRose]
