  • The best live concerte in history!!!

  • Pure Class!!

    

  • No matter what live version of this song I watch it always seems like he is reliving something that happened to him. His heart surely breaks every time he plays this song. The intensity he puts into the song comes from a place that only a broken heart can create......

  • I am so Grateful that Mark Knopfler allows uploades from his music! Mostly from many well known artists, a video upload is very fast removed!! His music is open to everybody!! So happy that I can enyoy his music! Mark is a living Legend!! Thank you Mark for Sharing!!

  • @beaucat10 i had laot of my stuff pulled ( dire straits) wheni upload, i have an appeal ready justin case.

  • @yamahonkawazuki Great!!

    

  • @beaucat10 Ehh it happens. but like others have said. DS. kinda likes having the stuff posted. as one said. " its free publicity" that they dont have to pay for.

  • when i listen to this song i wanna fall in love again...

  • @akhangirl ...me too! believe in music!!

  • this song is way too beatiful to listen it on your own...

  • that sax solo is phenomenal. We saw Chris White playing that exact solo with The Strait in 2011 - still hits every last note, f***ing superb: REAL talent. amazing

  • The world should not end in 2012 anyway just for the beauty of this

  • Oh so magical!!!

  • For anyone who's ever loved, if this song doesn't make you cry, nothing will.

  • 9 people clearly don't know what good music is. Probably teeny boppers.

  • j ai écouté cette chanson j'avais 12ans. j' en ai 35 maintenant mais , alors que je l'aime comme au premier jour!! je la dédicace a mon oncle, qui doit encore l'écoute là ou il est. merci tonton de m'avoir fait découvrir ce monument.....

  • impressionant, amb els temps que corren més de quatre s´haurien de mirar aquest video i reflexionar sobre la basura de música que ens fan tragar

  • @inmortales76 ostres, uno de la terreta, cagate! Visquen els Dire Straits, jajajaja!

  • The more I listen to Dire Straits, the more I realize the talent of each musician and the power and importance of each instrument to the beauty of the arrangement. Mark Knofler still blows my socks off. Simply lovely.

  • This is probably the most underrated love song I know.

  • @sokratesz So true

  • this is one of the best songs ever..

  • By the way... I think those guys are awesome, but they need to use some balsam in their hair, it looks like the driest day in Arizone! ;-)

  • Normally I'm more into R&B and Hiphop music.. BUT.. This is awesome.. This is REAL music. No studioeffects, no 808 drum-machines, no tune, no sampling, no pitch! This is just talent combined with feelings. Best ever!

  • very good !!!

  • Amazing till up to raining the people ignite the burners .

  • One of the best live performances ever.

  • at 6:20 ... closes my eyes and my mind fly away.......... Thank you for this moments.

  • Ouço Dire Straits desde pequena, talvez 5-6 anos. Hoje com 29 anos, continuo a adorar este grupo sobretudo Mark Knopfler, que para min é o melhor guitarrista do Mundo até aos dias de hoje.

    Toca guitarra com alma e tem entrega no que faz. É sem dúvida um dom natural, sobre o qual eu e mais fãs têm o privilégio de ouvir.

    Excelente Chris Palmer e Chris White neste concerto. Não

  • Não tive a honra de assistir a este concerto. Delicio-me com o DVD e o Cd :-P

  • @jorgepaulalili Também ouço desde pequeno. Pena que não pude vender a alma pra ir ver esse show porque eu tava nascendo nesse ano aí D=

  • im gonna buy the dvd! and im gonna listen it a billion times! :D

    it is just b-e-a-utiful <3

  • The intro is just amazing, so emotional. It's a shame that most 18 year old boys (i'm a 18 year old boy) don't hear this kind of music.

  • tu dis

    avec de belles chansons et surtout un son que l'on reconnait de suite

  • AAAAAAHHHHHH just no wordt for this..

  • goosebumps or wot ? makes me cry, shit memories of it !! but wow wow wow !! al buy new memories lol!! ex man used 2 sing it 2 me !!

  • Too f GREAT!

  • Thumbs up for the mother fucking sax

  • can anyone tell why it still 330 262 viewers...while lady gaga and justin bieber passed the 400 millions..shame on people....but i think this is made for angels not for us that's why !!!

  • Orgasmic music experience

  • @RietRudy

    I gotta agree with ya, i saw em as well in Antwerp. Mark knopfler was awesome, too bad he only played for 1h 20mins. Bob dylan was just bad. not what it used to be

  • Keep in mind: THIS won't happen again, live!

  • 7 people are retarded

  • @GeraldS1985: respecting personal opinions is a sign of civilization.

    I am not a great fan of Dire Straits, but this song and performance are fantastic!

  • @GeraldS1985 Now 10 =(

  • @GeraldS1985 10......

  • Just been to see Mark Knopfler live at Bournemouth BCC with Bob Dylan. Mark played Brothers in Arms at the end - just sublime. Along with Eric Clapton, Mark is THE best guitarist ever to be born on this planet. Can stop listening to the old Dire Straits classics.

  • @RoccoandDaddy I went to see them in Antwerp, Belgium last night, and Mark was amazing! Brothers in Arms gives me goosebumps, it was so good! Bob was pretty bad though... His voice is worth nothing anymore :s

  • Dire Straits are one of those few bands I just seem to listen to their live stuff more than the album tracks.

  • 6 reason to use condon

  • What a song, and what a tour! So priviledged to be at the Manchester Arena for this, their final tour. Very glad I had the chance to catch them. My first ever gig, and what an introduction to the wonderful world of live music it was! :)

  • FYI this sax solo has been transcribed. saxsolos.com. Cheap too. Only a couple bucks. Not affiliated at all with them. Just bought the solo for myself (find it under Chris White or Romeo and Juliet, NOT Dire Straits) and it seems spot on except for the very beginning. The transcription matches this You Tube video where the first few seconds are cut off rather than the actual song from the DVD/CD.

  • Grand moment de bonheur :)

  • have the original lp single cd tape still think its great even now

  • I have the whole concert on original VHS tape :-)

  • Sax de primeiríssima qualidade d best.

  • i'll quit porn for this <3

  • gibt es was besseres als diesen song?

  • Can somebody give me a reason why people could dislike this? I just can't get it how people can dislike this!

  • @sgtMustash Yes, why? This is profound question that will always remains a mystery, not even the great Sherlock Holmes could solve.

  • One of the truly great sax solos.

  • to the 6 dislikes go get a life you morons ...jeez this is real music man

  • i saw the Straits in Brighton last week with Chris White and Alan clark, and they were awesome. The sax solo on Romeo and Juliet just like this

  • every time i here this version i get goosebumps...

  • hog hog hog hog

  • I'm sickened... Why is there only Like and Disklike... There should be a MEGA F*CKING LOVE for this!

  • this is just amazing. i loved dire straits always... this live version just makes you in your own little universe... its just absolutely and completely beautiful. would have been amazing to see live.. absolutely and positively brilliant.

  • God bless you Andrew, you would have loved all this x x

  • It's really hard for me to describe this song in words

    It's just too damn beautiful

  • por favor vuelvanse a jutarrrr!!!!!!!! ¿cuanto hay que poner??

    

  • altaa bandaaa....lo qe tocan estos pibes por dioos!

  • Everyone has to love the Killers.

    But come on!

    This version is untouchable! Killers version is NOT better.

  • ...on keyboards: Mr. Alan Clark!

  • Un tema de puta madre, no me canso de verlo y escucharlo

  • .......another gorgeous, little story of life according to Mark. Amen !!!

    Nothing more to add to it........

    

  • This is my favorite version of the song. I can take or leave the studio version, but this one can give me goosebumps.

  • On The Night is the BEST live album recorded to this day.

  • REALLY FUCKIN EPIC SAXOPHONE SOLO

  • @Willy1093 ...you've got that right Willy !!!

    And there is some kind of magic in the sound of those old Mark VI Selmers, just like in Strats or Les Pauls in the guitar world, or B3 Hammond among keyboard instruments. Everybody is talking about it but nobody can

    pin-point what it is.  Amazing.

  • @SaxySanta777 Yeah, you're very right, :D

  • Cant even sing along with the song...get choked up... :)

  • I'm one of the biggest Killers fans around, and I must admit, this version is better, the emotion in his voice, you just can't beat.  This is great MUSIC.

  • cool. best comment from an even flow username. both great songs.

  • this is what music is all about! i'd rather lose my vision than my hearing.....to never be able to hear music would be a tragedy!

  • It was raining, yet the crowd stayed excited... Off course, with such a great band on stage!!

  • Oír esta canción siempre me hace llorar. Me recuerda a una mujer que tanto amé y ya no está. Me recuerda las travesías que hacía con ella, aún hoy la amo.

  • the solo at the end with the pedal guitar makes me speechless !!!!!

  • Dam this is pure talent. Flawless live version!

  • Regarding the snapping Knopfler does, he snapped on the record in the same spot and has done so every time he plays the song live as well. He's still doing it now, just watched an '08 performance of this song

  • @Thurzotron It looks like he wants to bring it down a verse early and the band continued as before... he looked as if he was saying something like "come on, we spoke about this, ok now? Thanks..".. lol.

  • Do caralho! até chorei.

  • *___* Just perfect...

  • 4 person don't like this masterpiece......!!

  • what a beautiful song..for life and for the person you loved so much...

  • @doomphenom

    i think it's about being in love with somebody you really shouldn't be in love with, but can't help yourself.

    I know it means something to Knopfler, you can hear it in his voice every time he sings it live. Most beautiful song ever.

  • perfect song

  • Who the fuck dares to unlike this?

  • @SirAlex191

    My Dad died in 2003, hadn't been poorly but he absolutely adored Dire Straits. He drove a Nissan Micra and used to pick my stepmum up from work (she was 18 years younger than him) She would always laugh that she'd come out of work and the little car was really 'rockin around' as he was singing to Dire Straits. Just had to play this track at his funeral. It makes me cry every time I hear it. He adored my stepmum and my brothers & I. An absolute classic.  Thanks Mr KnofflerXX

  • @ThisMachineKillsYou Beautiful story

  • @SirAlex191

    It's just OK

  • @Neophrentic That is like, just your opinion man

  • It's true this is THE BEST ONE!!

  • Best part at 8:16.. in my opinion

  • Looks like Mark gets mad at someone at 4:53 ?

  • @CeltusSrb

    I think it's at the bassist. Maybe he was supossed to stop playing for that bit, but he kept on. At 5:06 he snaps his fingers and the drummer and bassist start playing again. But not sure tho :)

    (I'm Argentinian so sorry if there's something wrong with my grammar/spelling)

  • This is my favorite love song of all times, it is just so beautiful. How can anyone dislike it is beyond me.

  • You know, it's actually kind of a shame that Knopfler began to lose his hair and look rather old so early, 'cause I just noticed he actually has a pretty face...

    Not that any of that matters though. If I were a girl I'd instantly fall in love with whomever made this beautiful song.
