Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Mandela Live 1988

[treviddick]

goosebumps. everytime. Nelson was released 2 years after this concert.

Jesus came back imo

[javisambora]

epic eargasm

[ilidantesha]

this song makes me shudder in my pretty warm house.

[oseasale]

He performed his best BIA version. The Pensa MK1 was officially played for the first time. I seems that he was really on one of his best days because he made several combinations he´d never done before o after 1988. @4.12 to 4.20 he showed us some new phrases. @6.02 to 07 the same. 6.19 to 35 fantastic. 7.30 to 7.34 great. A curosity, the camera only takes Mark´s left hand(the fret) at the end of the theme at 7.14.

[kevoishere1]

What is he playing thorough at this concert? Anyone know?

[loongdragon1]

@kevoishere1 This song is a song against war,he wrote that when attending ,I beleive

a banquet for Nelson Mandela.I have listened to this song thousands of time and always makes me cry.It was played in Miami Vice,Nikita and another movie that I

do not remember.

just sharing

loong the learner

[windymeadows2]

he always looks like he gonna cry when playing this song.

[glovemonkey]

timeless, i wonder what the 62 people who disliked this were thinking

[Nirmal1991Guitar]

Along with ‘Sultans of Swing’ & ‘Private Investigations’, this Emotional song is my co-Best Dire Straits Song. The Slow beginning is so subtle that teardrops appear in my eyes. Every single time I hear The Final Solo while my eyes closed, “a panoramic picture; of a Soldier lamenting over his best friends death in the Battlefield” automatically appears in front of me!

[Nirmal1991Guitar]

n.b. It’s always nice to see Eric Clapton also (with Rhythm this time) :)

[graciegirl1722]

Haunting classic what a class song gives me goosebumps

[dogsbalearics]

one of the great people of the world mandela. best wishes mandela

[nickinutzable]

knoppler is i of the few maestros respect

[narbaleth]

THIS is MUSIC !!!!

What a Fuckin Fuckin Solo Guitar !!!

THIS talks to me : straight to my heart and deep in my soul... until death...

Mark Rules !

[gatuzo2000]

o melodie perfecta......

[rewind11111]

Best video on youtube

[gvrah]

Can someone who understands English write what he says before the song?

[Progapanda]

@gvrah This one is really for the gentleman in question this evening. Best birthday party we've ever been to. Thanks for having us.

[Aremine]

@Progapanda one humanity, one justice :p you missed that haha

[Vaghful]

This I don't know what time I am listening to this song ,He is right , only fools can make war

[Vaghful]

Only the fools make war

[Vaghful]

He understands well , only the fool can make war

[Vaghful]

I love this music this man suf

fers

[horseboyken]

every one I got to listen to this in 86 went out and bought the CD

[kevoishere1]

The two greatest antiwar songs ever written: Machine Gun and Brothers in Arms.

[yuri037]

os caras são geniais!!! mto bom!!!

[RebelThoughts]

This song and this particular performance is so fucking deep man.

[rewind11111]

Best video on youtube

[johnredpath]

An emotion packed version- I agree maybe marks best solo ever, certainly one stunning version of the song.

[pakitovillanueva]

mark knopfler the god of guitar

[glenn5185]

mark knopfler/eric clapton

[iorch82]

please look at my cover of this awesome version!!!

[Duda2639]

Mark Knopfler you are the guy!

[CydonianExile]

i haven't stopped listening to this song everytime i get in my car the last few months..years maybe. last month i flew halfway around the world so i can finally see Mark for the 1st time in Sweden. The highlight for me was this song. Everyone should listen to this song and maybe we'll have peace.. even for a little while. He is a genius.

[JimmyPage1123]

fucking dead to 60 people

[frankrizzo51]

Holy Shit Batman!!!!

[farmerhugo1]

in a class yet to be rated: spectacular

[JustWatchingOne]

for dire straits i'll fucking watch 240p!

[petegrierson]

You can't respond to this just live it!

[punxye]

Reason for me to listen to this song today

[Kaalliikorpa]

Mark Knöpfler and his guitar are like a beating heart and its veins; once connected to each other, something special flows through the both of them.

[HivaFatu]

I do not know, goose bumps every time I hear this song, I remember the summer of 2008 and

his concert in Belgrade, Mark gave me the strength to survive all that happened to me that year

pure genius !

[dogsbalearics]

@HivaFatu he is fantastic isnt he, he gives you hope fella.

[Gioko100]

HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS???

[johntechwriter]

Out of respect for Mandela, I meant.

[johntechwriter]

Yes, the best Knopfler video ever. He was in the spirit of the event and he gave it everything he had. (if you're wondering why no guitar duels between him and Clapton, it was out of respect.)

[ExplicitLyric111]

really cool ! Wonderfull song

[kevoishere1]

This is simply incredible. Can't get enough

[taano7777]

Mandela = Laurent Gbagbo .

[28091952]

Very brilliant and very affective

[SuperRazgon]

Ahogy az a gitár felsír...Annak lelke van..szebb mint pár embernek..Beszél hozzám,elmondja nekem minden fájdalmát! Gyönyörű!!!!!!

[lemagnifique6767]

ahh nostalgie j'avais que quinze ans quand j'ai attendu toutes la journée dire straits pendant le direct à la télevision du concert mandela puis je j'ai enregistré sur video et en même temps à la radio c'était innoubliable et magnifique....

[VietDuc]

This is real music !!!

[pierluigi173]

grazie. Thanks. merci

[NewName200]

"In my opinion the best Mark Knopfler ever seen ;)" - I agree. Amazing to see how moved Knopfler himself is.... I´ve never seem him like that in any other video.

[honkytonkwomen69]

Con canciones como esta queda claro que Mark es uno de los grandes guitarristas de la historia. Qué poquitos comentarios veo en español.

[thomasbhoy]

Listen to this every day great for the soul

[nudger2002]

I love how Mark is gurning his tits off at the beginning of the track. Must be good shit!

[ProvGANG]

I'm very sad when I see this video it was taped in 1988. and song talks about stupid people making war... and then in 1991 war broke out in Yugoslavia... I hope we'll be smarter in future!

[MrCarbog]

Dire Straits is absolutely the best live band ever.

[sprocket1942]

I saw the Brothers in Arms tour - OMG!!!! Still get goose bumps when I hear this song. The presentation was awesome, you could have heard a pin drop and when it finished the whole place exploded. I thought the roof would come off. There will never be another Knopfler!

[boyo416]

but my home is (in) WasteLand...s...

[148tomcakanic67]

ehm I am here to have fun

[maick421]

UMA DAS BROTHER IN ARMS MAIS LINDAAA....



[agora7771]

OH MY GOD THAT GUITAR SOLO! OH MY GOD THAT GUITAR SOLO! OH MY GOD THAT GUITAR SOLO! OH MY GOD THAT GUITAR SOLO!

[96fed]

@agora7771 the only bad thing about it is that it ends...

[TranceSFX]

@agora7771 Yes. Correct. Knopfler IS GOD.

[MrSpeedy4real]

i really need a repeat button!

[MisterGiuly]

i love the guitar of mark

[freegabri]

You can't even imagine what a sort of outro of Marbletown I heard last night in Florence. Concert of Mark + Bob Dylan. Simply breathtaking. Maybe the best ever heard live of that amazing song

I hope to find a video about that and share it with you.

Yours, faithfully, freegabri.

[tivatboys]

@freegabri you lucky bastard

[VR46TheDoctor46]

ΤΙ ΚΟΜΜΑΤΙ ΘΕΕ ΜΟΥ

[shlomi51210]

The only thing that make my father cry....

[UnDDea]

i'm so jealous about the people who was in mandela 1988 i want to move back in time

[SMH9008]

The crowd when the guitar first comes in... Unreal.

[baltazar89898]

my brothers in arms - cro army...

war in croatia (1991.-1995.)

forgive, never forgett....

[Fuzzbuttuk]

It's so nice to see a concert where the crowd is not just a sea of mobile phone screens. Amazed that there are no ciggie lighters in the air for this one though. The best live version of this song ever. 

[candle331]

The best version of this song. Ever. 

[nystolen]

I wonder what he was thinking when he wrote that song and when he played it for the first time...

[joeyjordisondu13]

Fuckin' Feeling :O It's Extraordinary !

[mattjohnkearney]

truly moving emotional song...that guitar is haunting

[hasenmann35]

thx great song .

[BillyeIsobeldb860]

hihi Tell me your fantasies

[sakup82]

Mark Knopfler is the world's best guitarist .. unbelievably good.

[Donnerwetter56]

Great, great music. I live it.

[matlund1]

About 2 years ago, i saw this video for the first time. It inspired me so much that i started playing the guitar, and i promised my self to go to one of his concert when i got the opportunity. Today I study music in high school, and love playing guitar and tonight I am going to my first Mark Knopfler concert!:O I feel so fortunate, thank you mr Mark Knopfler. So sincere and humble! You are my hero.

[hamali1975]

@matlund1 Great story to hear! I was fortunate to be introduced to Mark´s music by my dad when I was just a few years old. His music has been an integral part of my life ever since. Been to two of his concerts in Helsinki and it was awesome both times. Have a good time tonight :)

[matlund1]

@hamali1975 Thank you:) It was as amazing as I ever hoped for!

[miladyist1]

Yüzyılın parcası..bir gitar ağlarmı sorusnun cevabı Mark Knopfler'in parmaklarında EVET ağlar.. bende beraberinde..

[Maxi9446]

This is music.

[celicniopanak]

Kakva melodija... Stvarno prelepa pesma! Knopfler je kralj na gitari

[craemac]

When EC is your backup, you know you're good...

[markandrach]

utter masterpiece

[stazy2]

Ай молодца, Марк фореревер, да он всегда лучший!!!!

[RIXLAZZZ]

@stazy2 Aye lad, Mark Forever, but it is always best

[doberadof]

when music is played from the heart its impact is to move it to another plane and the listener with it thank you mark for the wonderful experience

[Docbung2791]

Legends, he makes his guitar sing and cry.

[Youtubador2]

The best definition for the word: Perfect

[BvB4ever09]

[CheeseB31]

Absolutely EPIC! ®

[TheTjw2010]

fuck it mark , ive decided m8, YOU ARE THE BEST

[Lloydhl]

I've watched the other versions by Mark, but this one is the absolute best, after a thousand or more listens, this one still gives me chills, that guitar playhing is awesome!

[jhffmn1]

@Lloydhl He plays this song a little different every single time he plays it. THIS time it was an absolute emotional experience that could never be duplicated. He is the best, but this is his best. Amazing

[ronnyextreme1]

this is how its done

[roknroll360]

Bastard made me cry...

[JefClaesBE]

Saw him play this yesterday live in Antwerp. So epic, even better than I expected. Best song ever.

[camzoiti]

thisis the best version ever the way he makes that guitar scream and cry at the same time gives me goose bumps and leaves me in awe,A master at the top of his game preformance.MASTERPEICE

[udetje]

I'm going to see him this week in Rotterdam - Netherlands. Can't wait. Simply can't wait.

[Gioko100]

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY LIVE!!!

[Slievedubh]

God this guy is brilliant. So glad he played so well for Nelson Mandela, the greatest hero of our time.

[Myxale]

So powerful, the truth of it hurts....

[mrttcowboy]

In my opinion the best song in the world

[tivatboys]

Is it so fucking hard to find a normal girl that loves Dire Straits...o_O

Something is wrong with this World.

[singtweetypie]

@tivatboys Maybe you are looking in the wrong age bracket or living in the wrong country! I absolutely love Dire Straits, love love love Mark Knopfler ...but ... bet I'm twice your age - and I am Canadian. How could anyone not see the brilliance in their music? Look for a smart girl with a good heart and a deep soul...and she will be the one.

[tivatboys]

@singtweetypie

Living in the wrong country. And you are quite older then me if the age in your channel is true.

But the main problem here is that girls in my country listen to turbo - folk which is even worse music than 2000s pop.

To be honest i have never met a girl in my life that loves Dire Straits! To me that is a very depressing fact...And top of that to meet a girl which is smart and has a good sould and listens to some quality music is just a science fiction in my country.

[pipenissen]

@tivatboys Yeah, here also. They girls are just going crazy cuz Jusin Bieber is coming. Only some few girls like the real awesome stuff, and they are usually older than me.

[singtweetypie]

@tivatboys I don't know which country you live in, but there are smart women with good souls everywhere. You need to find one that enjoys your musical tastes. A female guitarist would be a good start or hang at the music store around the Dire Straits section until you meet a girl that picks up one of their albums. I'm teasing a bit, but I have a 17 year old daughter that got turned on to Dire Straits when her boyfriend played Sultan of Swing for her. Maybe you should take up the guitar?

[tivatboys]

@singtweetypie

I play the drumms : )

Female guitarist, hmmm never met her in my life : )

And Dire Straits section in our music stores, no sir! More like Jelena Karleusa section : (

[singtweetypie]

@tivatboys Researched turbo folk as I have never heard of that musical genre - nor have my daughters. Now I know what you are dealing with. My sympathies to you - it is truly nasty stuff! No female guitarists either? I think you should pack up your drums and get to a place where you can meet people that share your musical tastes. Ashurabrighton probably lives in North America or Great Britain. Go find her!

[tivatboys]

@singtweetypie

Yeah been planning that for a few years now, money is the main problem. But I will get to the USA, oh I will get there : )

And on the flight to LA or New York i am going to listen "Walk Of Life".

Cheers

[singtweetypie]

@tivatboys  You are an old soul - I can tell. I hope your dreams come true.

[tivatboys]

@singtweetypie

Thank you, i wish the same for you too.

Everybody says I am an oldtimer though : )

[CasketJoe]

@tivatboys Haha :D Man, you can't expect a girl to understand this kind of music. Take her home, fuck the shit out of her, make sure she talks as little as possilbe and the most important thing: make sure she leaves early in the morning. As far as I can say slavic girls are pretty hot, so stop complaining dude ^^

[bristolcityifcation]

@CasketJoe STUPID AMERICAN FOOL !! JUST BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN FROM A 6 MONTH TOUR !! MY SECOND AND LOST THREE MATES TO YOUR FUCKING AMATUER COWBOY FUCKING SOLDIERS !! BLUE ON BLUE I SHIT IT !! USMC YOUR FUCK ALL !! LEAVE THE BUISNESS TO THE PROS !! 2 BATT PARACHUTE REGIMENT BRITISH ARMY !! THIS IS FOR MY BROTHERS IN ARMS THAT NEVER CAME BACK OR CAME BACK SCREWED IN THE HEAD !! SEE U SOON MY BROTHERS STAY SAFE AND WORRY MORE ABOUT THE YANKS THAN THE TALIBAN !!!! HAPPY XMAS TO U ALL !!

[CasketJoe]

@bristolcityifcation Are you retarded? I am from Austria, never been to America! You really need to see a doctor!

[TranceSFX]

@CasketJoe yeah typical militant idiot

[CasketJoe]

@TranceSFX He's gotta be on drugs.. :)

[TranceSFX]

@CasketJoe rofl

[kevoishere1]

@tivatboys Amen. I have never met a girl in my life you listens to Dire Straits either. When I find one I'll hold on to her : ) I've been listening to Dire Straits pretty much my whole life 23 years.

[TranceSFX]

@tivatboys it's really not, a lot of women love great music but just listen to junk as well to fit in. when they're alone, they indulge without fears of fitting in with fellow tramps :D

[tivatboys]

@TranceSFX

Then they dont deserve to listen Dire Straits. If they do that.

Rock and roll isnt for conformists!

[TranceSFX]

@tivatboys yeah well, deserve is a whole new argument. fact is, bunch of them enjoy it personally so, i guess its a cool and bad thing at the same time.

[Gioko100]

@tivatboys HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS IT'S PURE GENIUS

[Ashurabrighton]

@tivatboys I love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler!!! And I'm a girl!

[tivatboys]

@Ashurabrighton

will you marry me then?

: )

[Mkayti]

@tivatboys pfff, i love them!

[tivatboys]

@Mkayti and you live in Norway : (

[Mkayti]

@tivatboys yup :]

[italiarossi]

@tivatboys i have found one!

[mimiundco2000]

@tivatboys here I am.

[isladeldramarules]

Lo importante ademas de la música es el entorno donde se lleva a cabo,lo que significa,lo que no se dice con palabras,lo que uno transmite desde su interior en ese momento único,

[Raiju59]

almost as good as Eppu Normaali! i love this!

[bechize]

Simply love this song - the performance is outstanding - never expect to hear a greater song. This is my bibble !!!

[Prada488]

Why does this song always make me wanna cry and I’m not even into rock music...? This is art.....truly amazing amazing....

[Assey3]

Maybe the best live performance ever, what a legend!

[SuperPrivate2011]

@Assey3 Maybe?

[TekkerzOOT]

The whole song is brilliant but, from 5:22 is truly the most breathtaking and epic outro I've ever heard.

[bobbyultra]

@TekkerzOOT ....I agree there is a spark hit in 5:22 somthing deep that only comes out once in a blue moon, but am very lucky to hear Mr Knopfler play it seem to me he tells us all a storie as he plays in real time.... pure bliss ..

[thevela]

Makes the hairs stand up on your neck.  Remember as if it was yesterday. Wonderfull...

[MrThemarkus73]
