Those dislikes? Can't fathom who could not enjoy the elegant sound of the worlds greatest guitarist and his crew. Now try again, this time with your eyes closed. Still dislike it? Aw, come on. You must be jealous, like me. Can't believe I put my guitar aside for a set of wrenches.
@Brunoeira15 Doesn't figure...Nice to see the band enjoying themselves. Right? It's not all Mark making those sounds. Whole lot of talent, and it's fun to watch.
@Brunoeira15 Well, everyone is entitled to like what they want to. The "Dislike" is just hard to figure for any Dire Straits or Knopfler music. Whichever version I see of them, I always find something to enjoy. But I'm watching and listening for just that reason: enjoyment. I'm not on the hunt to find something negative to comment on. I guess they're out there though...
@libertybuddy2 Even Mark Knopfler himself would kill you for comparing him with Hendrix :D I am sure you were drunk...I forgive you...and I would still agree that Mark Knopfler is a legend and great
@samojedlenny instead they should just do away with the dislike button. Then the comments would cease. No one needs to know if someone dislikes a video, its offensive. Thats the truth.
@THEBIGDOC26 I like the system as it is. When I click onto a video with the like bar mostly in the red, and part way through the video I can see why, I add to the red. When the situation is opposite, I add to the green. And, since what's most popular is not necessarily where the quality is, sometimes those long green bars need a bit of red added. As for the comments about the likes, First Ammendment. If that's what's on their mind, let them say it.
@xxsam23xx Look at the Y chromosome data study..the genomes of modern europeans are founded on the frame of both the basque male ("old European")and the basque female.The basques are the original europeans..so it makes sense
stop with all the stupid comments, its annoying when you want to read relavant stuff, corvette you can find so far away from me with lyrics here on youtube, if you cant i will send it you
i love this song......my son left to basic training for the US ARMY and i miss him so much- i loved this song when i was a teenager and i love it even more! my son is SO FAR AWAY FROM ME but im so proud of him... i love you PFC RIVERA
@bicycless211 Yes! Mark and Chet, two masters of fingerpicking, both awesome individually, are double awesome when they played together. They even released an album called "Neck & Neck" (1990), which I just purchased a CD a few months ago (for some misled reason I didn't buy it earlier, silly me). Trust me, that fantastic album is an absolute 'must have' for all of their fans.:)
@SuperRonj1 When I hear Mark play, inevitably, I find myself thinking of God. In the context that the man was given a gift of music so unbelievably beautiful, that moves us so deeply, and stirs us to such intense highs and lows; it has to be God given. I don't think that Mark is God, but look: his music got you thinking about Him too. Maybe a gift for us to simply enjoy. Peace...
nasci em 1990. Mas graças a Deus tive conhecimento dessa banda. Tenho todos os discos de dire straits e mark knopler... fala sério, nuuunca trocarei essas musicas pelas de hoje. SÓ TEM LIIIXO!!
queria ter vivido essa época. mas quem sabe um dia isso volte. As pessoas hoje tem que saber o que é ouvir musica de verdade!!
From" a far" professor Georgio Piccardi soul a far away from mi thank professor.University of Florence .Think thats where John Luc Piccard got he's name? Dire Straits. Wholistic medicine another great philosophical tune.Excellent !
I was in Europe when Dire Straits first album was released. Sultan of Swing, etc. The song "Water of Love" totally blew me away, and noting MK has done since then has changed my opinion of him one bit. He's still one of the most talented artists in music and one hell of a songwriter and guitarist.
What is totally amazing is that ALL of them can sing. Great musicians and really talented artists. Don't they look like they are enjoying what they do ~ and getting paid for it too???We work and work and work and hate it!
Where is MY MTV??? I need a guitar. Got some movies, r e f r i g e r a t o r.....got some movies and a color T V!!!! Yeah....But their soooooooooo far away from me...so far I just can't see. Their so far away from me....
I have been a big fan of Dire Straits for over a quarter-century now, Have always loved this band. But it's their live performances like this one that really blow me away, make me fall head over heel in love with them. Especially with Mark Knopfler. I absolutely worship the ground he walks upon. How can I not, when his guitars and his songs capture my heart so thoroughly?
I am in love with this band! What happened to old music like this? All you hear on the radio these days is auto-tuned crap .. :$ I miss the oldies music!
@willseyboy Most certainly because it reminds them of someone far away from them. I know it reminds me of that special someone now far away from me, it makes me sad but I still hit the thumbs up on this video.
Love this Live version more than studio/CD version.
Have you guys ever watched the other version of his song (Special calypso version)? It was sung in Dire Straits final BiA Tour concert in Sydney, Australia. Very different than original one, but IMO it's the best version of this song.:)
I have this whole concert on VHS. I have no idea where it is. I will spend the evening in the attic I guess. I my wife threw this away there will be a brawl tonight.
Well I think you should have some English language classes with your sister..I agree american don't have the best food, women, etc... But why do most people don't like them as they do with all of their fantastic songs, especially the 80's and 90's, well as being also Brazilian, I wish my next reincarnation I can born american..In Brazil people also tend to blame everyting is coming from other countries but what can you (Brazil) can say about our music.. aché, funk, hip-hop?? is that "music"??
Love the little solo he plays at the end.
