@babilugs 'Music For Montserrat' was a concert held on September 15, 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall. Musicians came together to raise funds for the Caribbean island of Montserrat after a major volcanic eruption earlier that year had left the island devastated.
THE M.O.S.T. AWESOME PERFORMANCE...I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS...! ONLY WISH....THAT I WAS THERE TO SEE IT LIVE...! WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO BE THERE...!
Should they really be allowed in the same stage? I mean by the same principle as presidents of different countries aren't allowed to travel with the same flight?
Im so glad my father was a Knopfler, Claptop and Collins fan. Otherwise I probably wouldnt have gotten to this music. Im 15, and I find those musicians more than awesome.
thats right. Eric Clapton is a brand, as is Sting. Mark Knopfler chose to promote himself through the band Dire Straits but it was all him. ( although John Iisley was with him the entire run and they were a team) Knopfle
r is indeed a better guitar player and songwriter. Clapton had a few solid hits when he was younger, has the look and seems to be a nice guy. Knopfler and him are friends.
No I just think when someone as talented as Mark is on stage that putting Clapton on too is setting Eric up to look bad. EC may be great, but mark could own him any day of the week
@ letimis99 This was the Montserrat benefit concert in 1997. And calvinhays: You're a blasphemist without any taste or knowledge of music. You should be banned from youtube and sterilised to prevent procreation.
@calvinhayes24 dude wtf happened to you when you where a kid. someone had to of really fucked you up clapton is a beast at everything. you suck at life go die cause you have no taste. did your parents molest you when you were a baby to layla or something?
I was wondering, in the original recording of this song, you hear a very high voice singing the backings, that ís Sting right?? Because it sounds very alike :)
Impresionante!, Jamas se vio tanta calidad junta sobre un escenario, disfrutan haciendo lo que hacen, su musica, la que ellos quieren hacer, no la que les inponen las ventas.
Phenomenal! Everybody's having so much fun, even the choir and orchestra. Of course these 4 superstars guys don't need more money but it's clear in this video they truly love their job and it's not about the money.
@luvbotany once you get out of high school and can reach the caliber of knopfler and clapton, it doesn't matter who can play more notes faster than another guy. both are extraordinarily respected guitarists, and to compare the speed of one to the other is just dumb
@connorfilmpro Sting 'just' singing backing vocals? I'm not a huge Sting fan, but you have to admit he has a unique voice. So having him do the backing vocals like he did on the original is better than anyone else sing bvox. I reckon he could have started it with the 'I want my...' though :)
I remember when I was a kid and I heard this song & saw the video for the first time on MTV. I remembered thinking how awesome the song was & didn't know who sang it at the time since I was just a kid. When I got older & started to listen to The Police, I thought the lead singer sounded like the "I want my MTV" guy...lol. Now I realize how much I didn't know back then.

Check out the young guitarist behind Clapton and Knopfler at 4.52 mins. The smile on his face says " I must be in HEAVEN......Look......THE 4 GODS of ROCK ! "
@daanboeree Don't you think that they all look kind of bored. Well they have lots of experience and they are really good musicians but there are other benchmarks in rock nowadays.
In my opinion they all were much better during their peaktime, when they were much younger and much more enthusiastic.
