[knopflergiannis]

@UCL2004 the first version of non-studio sultans of swing was in Alchemy live in 1983. The first live of Alchemy tour! there is also the dvd from Hammersmith Odeon.

[UCL2004]

@knopflergiannis thanks, ...but .... I was talking about my 1st place favorite version for me.

[idonteatlard]

.....i think i came

[sburton223]

Damn thats good....one of the best versions of one of the best songs ever

[bulkipuki]

Whenever I listen to this song, it makes me happy to think that I still have the sense to appreciate such beautiful composition. Alas!!! we don't get to hear these sounds anymore.

[Caseysmom2]

thanks for uploading these 2 videos. superb.

[juany8220]

"dzieło sztuki"

[1981a110]

mark, i think it is a tribute to us -your ever lasting fans- to perform with dire straits-in your greatest period evewr.It's up to you to find the portions that must be neeDED between Dire Straits and your new band,Don;t be -ripsaspis-in ancient sparta this waw committed with excille.iHN MODERN EUROPE THIS MUST BE TREATED SIMEHOW IN A SIMILAR AND DISCENT WAY. mk from greece.

[doncogi]

I got goose bumps. Best finger picker ever.

[shaki1234567]

Seems like the most cleam live version. Brilliant

[imajerk3]

is this great or what?? something else!!!

[ADK260]

Zajebioza !!

Greetings from Poland

[stratocasterfranck]

Knopfler and Gilmour = Epic Guitarists

[knopflerbest]

To people who say that Mark is not as good as this one or that one, I show them this video and usually that's enough!

[Angus513]

@knopflerbest LIKE haha, it would be more effective if it had the actual live video just to show how effortless he makes it look but it doesn't appear the video exsists anywhere in the world which is a shame

[Ataraxia01]

@Angus513 you could use the one from the nelson mandela concert. Great version too (and with eric clapton ;)) greetings

[kaaren56]

Yo kids, we had shite music in the 70's and 80's too - you just don't hear about those performers any more. I remember when I was 13 or 14, first hearing Dire Straits, how that felt, and my age-mates looking down their noses at me because I wasn't listening to Wham and Duran Duran. I'm 41 now, and I'll probably still be listening to this stuff when I'm dozing in my oldies home. Mr. Knopfler just seems to get better with age.

[tholey1990]

and they dare to call Bieber and other kind of that stuff music...

[tholey1990]

an they dare to call Bieber and other kind of that stuff music...

[Lokar92]

I prefer the one done in "A Night In London" .. just my opinion, that one has more energy in it.

[kings00018]

my favorite song ever

[n4bpp]

This man lives on a different plane than us mortals. Once you listen to him play he becomes like a drug, I need my fix everyday.

[CabralKiL]

THE CHOSEN ONE!

[dsm4g61]

sometimes i get the feeling that mark has 2 extra fingers on each hand and sometimes i think if he just looks at a guitar, it will play all by itself.

great version..been looking for this one for a while, thanks.

[Niklas1702]

@YeaSon2008 Hy, I´m 15 years old and I completely agree with you,

Mark Knopfler is a god!

[EPITAPH31]

i gree .

[fredzxr]

This is so FUCKING good.

If there is a god, I'm sure this would be his favourite song.

[TheSoSoAgnostic]

@fredzxr ...and he wishes he could play like this.

[rajoufra]

thanks angus513! I search this version since long time ago! I love this part 2!! the best MK's solo with love over gold!

[mcsephiroth1312]

He has the best phrasing of any guitarist I've ever heard

[YeaSon2008]

What's even more upsetting is the fact that I can't find a studio recorded version of Sultans of Swing PART 2 ANYWHERE... angers me so much

[IZ5DKJ]

[juanjosecannondale]

FLIPANTEEEEEEEEEEEEE



[skipper8257]

They don't get any better than Mark. Simply incredible, best version ever.

[Dajko3]

omg... you were right, the best version ever!!!thanks for sharing

[Aquelll]

The more he loses hair, the better he gets :D

[Sammerick]

This really is a great version

[steviecbf]

perfection

[Psykelic68]

This is the best guitar audio-version on Youtibe.

Thanks for posting it.

[mstoyaj]

Can not get enough. I'm currently taking guitar lessons because of this guy and his ability to make a guitar work like a slave and produce some of the fliest music known to those delicate tools on the side of your head..........EARS!!!!!!!Bravo Mark.......

[TheSoSoAgnostic]

@mstoyaj Apparently you also need to take banjo lessons to play like Mark.

[dea720]

Gotta mention Chet Atkins on this one. He is the one guy all the 80's guitarists looked up to. And MK was a great admirer of his. He also performed with him twice and played at the tribute concert to Chet Atkins. If you can ever find a clip of the two of them playing together, watch their playing styles, very, very similar.

[studiojam1]

@dea720 You are absolutely correct!

[localhero635]

Great!

He is the best guitarist!

[mstoyaj]

Thanks for this post. This guy is hands down the f___ing greatest. Because of him I'm now taking guitar lessons. He pours his hands and soul into that guitar. One day I might see him. Keep the MK guitar vids coming.....

[harmoify]

this is just awesome!

[Klarasusanne]

"Non plus ultra" I ♥ ♥ ♥ him. He is my Music Hero!

[liqshot808]

this is the real shit. no one can make guitar sing like mk

[ppzppsoe2390]

Jamas volveran los dedos de knopfler a moverse así de rápido.... una lástima....¿ Os imaginais que en la gira de 2010 Get Lucky sonara así el Sultans ?

bufffff.... me daria algo seguro. En fin.. de ilusión tambien se vive.

[hathwit7]

gilmore and knopfler, 1st equal to me.

[juniortoxa]

otimo!

[beanoalbum]

The version on A Night in London is also very good.

[rawzone1]

Master Improviser!

[francoisbrito212]

o melhor guitarrista...

[DefinitionUntalented]

i could not agree more with you on your info heading!!

Amazing song, the absolutely greatest...

[josephrea]

thank you

[goncaloxavier]

no words just listning

his the king :D

xD

[ivanoeraoccupato]

I agree with fr06floyd.. he is the best, with the great mr gilmour.. they' re so expressive <3

[or756]

legend ...

[magnur1002]

nice

[fr06floyd]

MK is the best...... With Gilmour

[elietohme]

he is the best ,gilmour & clapton come after

[3439ra]

they are nothing to mark. or mr guitar chet atkins

[elietohme]

i agree

[kjek1]

tend to agree

knopfler and gilmour are my two favourites

[3439ra]

gilmour is nothing. you should have said knopfler as a player and chester as a picker. lol

[kjek1]

gilmours the most emotive player in the world.

clown

[3439ra]

@kjek1 in your mind he is. you dont know shit about guitar you ignorant clown. wash your mouth

[mstoyaj]

@3439ra I second that. This dude is the greatest. I haven't seen or heard better. All those other names come after him.

[cyrusdm86]

@fr06floyd Spot on :-)

[davidovsky7]

@fr06floyd I 100% AGREE!

[EranProductions]

@fr06floyd

Both are my fav

[Ataraxia01]

@fr06floyd totally agreed :D

[petrosonrocking]

does someone know where is footage from the alchemy album? there is where i think it's the best sultans of swing version live. but this one is very exciting too =D

[norwayfinland]

its here on youtube my friend;-) if im right

[petrosonrocking]

hey friend, i found the video ;-)

[norwayfinland]

ok ;-)

[MakQueenMaryJ]

ahh...... <3

[13Ducksonabox]

I love this bit, but i cant find how to play it :(

CAn someone help me???

[makoemin]

Find it by ear. Takes a while, but the more you do it, the easiest it gets. To facilitate it a bit, you can slow the song down.

[magnur1002]

wow

[Battlesience]

When you see him play on other clips on Youtube, then he makes it look easy to play that good...

[daniarts24]

listen please on every planet version from 92

[Klarasusanne]

Einfach genial!!!!

[Borgbull]

So hatte ich den song noch nie gehört einfach

Perfekt da kommt keiner ran

[fibbsabaddy]

It is in fact all about the alchemy version. No contest.

[schafler21]

i like it better when theyve got the sax in on the jam too

[Borgbull]

The best Song

(1)

[mitchp40]

Allmost - Telegraph Road is #1

[88bjorn]

Best version with the piano ever!

[Juergen6]

Best Song Ever

[Roderyk1234]

zgadzam się w całej rozciągłości !

[auctionmaster]

Good, but no cigar, Mark puts feeling into his strings and frets, this home version has the feeling of a numb beached whale. Having said that, it's a hundred miles better than I can do, Mark of course is a zillion trillion times better than this.

[kebumies]

ìs this the version from albert hall?god damn you`re a f"""""ing genius with your guitar!!dammmmmnnnnnnnnn!

[darkhaven328]

i think hes just making it up as he goes at one point because its definately not in the original recording but it sure as hell kicked major ass!

[twadlesaur]

Making it up as he goes along? That's the whole point.

[Zizeza]

6:30 - 7:05 Heavenly!

[WoompaFilms]

5:05

[jabbyvy]

impresionante¡¡¡q manera de hacer hablar a su guitarra.

[4everknopfler]

ive actually the got the full song with this piece in it, on my mp3, listen to it every day atleast twice

[vuede2]

THE BOOKS ON THE TABLE

[tanninghoe]

man wtf isnt there a real album version, all these lives and random dudes with guitars thinking their all that

[darkhaven328]

ok dude you are not even worthy of licking mark knopflers shoes to clean them he is a god/legend he deserves his own fricking religion so dont EVER DISS HIM

[nightworg]

Living legend. Ginius

[kirtashgaara]

ffuuuuuuuaaaa!!

I don't deserve to listen to this amazingly undescriptable sound!

Pure awesomeness

[bla222111333]

5:05

This part was my graduation song in 2006.

It was a surreal moment - so clear, so beautiful..

[DANLEO5]

This band defies description. As tight as any jazz band but better. They didn't get into Hall of Fame, don't know why. THANKS

[cyberdems]

PERFECT guitar, PERFECT bass, and PERFECT drums. They're absolutely amazing.

[dangervich]

...but i wouldn't even notice them if the music weren't so good as to demand my entire attention, so...

man that drummer plays so beautifully. perfectly. so much sound, so much range and texture...

[dangervich]

interesting hollow sound in the strings, almost like one's loose... great minor hops and rhythmic innovations.... really natural... truly a swingin' sultan solo! as for the clappers, well... they're the type who talk in the "sensitive" moments they miss throughout their lives. They think they're "THERE!" Well, they aren't 'cause they're never really anywhere when they aren't inside themselves. Agree with Skeeterboot on that: just plain dumb people. And rude too!

[noiserrr]

was there video recorded for this show as well? would love to see it and tried searching for it.

[rwdehaas]

[devilbex]

amazing mark knopfler the best gutiarist ever my idol and im onli 15 so amazing =)

[flexi712]

good to know some of the young folks like good music too :-)

[YeaSon2008]

I'm 19, and agree with devilbex all the way. I am ashamed of the music that the music industry shells out. No talent, no creativity, no insight... just a puppet rapper who fulfills a certain persona that the record label wants him or her to fill.

long live Mark Knopfler!

[EaglesStir]

@YeaSon2008 I agree with you and devilbex 100%. "Music" these days is crap. I'm a 12 year old kid who just loves the 60's, 70's, 80's and a little bit of the 90's. Mark Knopfler is just one heck of a guy! He really knows his stuff. Not like these ghetto rappers who have no talent what so ever. I'm happy to hear another person think the same way.

[mstoyaj]

@EaglesStir second that

[leocmen]

@EaglesStir There are many people thinking like you Boy... Many... But we are living the Age of Crap, when there is not space for music like was done by Mark Knopfler... Even the live version of this music, you will not listen on Radio, just because "it´s too long". Short crap, that is all we have...

[Algerino307]

@EaglesStir I agree with you fully kid.

[BasementHaxxProd]

@EaglesStir You mean "commercial" music is crap. There is plenty of incredible talent out there, it's just getting harder to find because of the whole mainstream having no taste.

[miocapitano10]

the best...

[TheSoSoAgnostic]

@YeaSon2008 i WAS SO PISSED the first time I heard this. I had gone years having heard only the the massacred studio version. Stupid record execs.

[91Kickflip]

@YeaSon2008 true! I'm 19,too man ^^ and the more "new music" there is..the older is the music i listen to. when music wasnt about image or money it was genuine..and that makes music good. greetz from germany ^^

[devilbex]

mark knopfler is so amazing my favoroute guitarist brilliant bloke

[bla222111333]

3:04

So beautiful.. I almost cry every time I listen to it.

[wysiek]

Yeah you are right it's one of the best versions but i love the solo from Wembley '85 with saxophone i love it

[ckeuh88]

I'm a guy, but I love him anyway! :-D His music is everything to me, and always will be!!!!

[fersata]

This is the track 5 from the Mark Knopfler At The Royal Albert Hall (1996) : "comes from the official album "Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of DS", but it's only the bonus CD - not available in many countries, cover says "This recording was made for a live US radio broadcast by Album Network at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 23rd May 1996. Tracks have not been remixed, overdubbed or altered in any way".

I have this CD:D and it is damn good.

[Skeeterboot]

i just wish those stupid "clappers" would have sense enough to let the music unfold!!!! fuckin' distractin' and annoying!!! totally in awe of this piece. thanks sooooo much for sharing. pure genius!!!

[TheSoSoAgnostic]

I think it adds to it, because they only try a couple times and it doesn't last long, as they drift back under the spell.

[mf69tg]

I understand and totally agree with Mr Angus when he say that this is it the best version of Sultans of Swing ever. We are not talking about speed or virtuosism, but about a version full of new inserctions, beautiful melodies, a magic mixture of all the versions that Knopfler played along his awesome career. A really genius! In my opnion the best guitarist of all times. Thanks for posting.

[BowMenace]

I'm not much of a guitarist, But my brother has been practasing this song lately and it's got me addicted to it! I know where your coming from, It's one of those songs what just gives you a nice feeling inside... I'm now trying out some easy songs on the guitar to get me started off. =)

[rusheroner1]

is that a les paul??

[zior18]

where was played this version?

[Kazshmir]

Read disscription

[3439ra]

pensa suhr. he never use les paul on sultans

[Agapante28]

MK: merveilleux!!! génial!!!!

Ou est cette belle guitare au bois doré?

Love Mark.

[oldierunner]

Ja ist die beste Performance Part 2! Aber wie kann man diese Performance ohne eigentliches Video bringen? Life muss es wohl schon sein, sonst ist es fade! Alle anderen Videoversionen sind ja auch life!

[jackoherts]

where is this tune found?.Anyone know where it's performed?.....I also want the MP3

[master244]

download free youtube downloader (:

[mimi2957]

I never would have guessed this would get a huge negative response. I just meant Mark casts a huge shadow. his brother stopped playing with him. I am really surprised by this response! Didn't intend to offend.

[beggotten]

please put the video if you got it it's really perfect i hearth this since 1983 that's the amazing n' his best performance .

[mimi2957]

sorry, begotten, I am trying. but what do you mean, "I hearth this"?

[Rirox44]

"I heart" = I love

imagine the picture of a heart to make it clearer. ^^

I really love this version :P

[nursesusiep]

He is a MONSTER on the guitar!! A real joy to hear!!

[beluvid55]

I've listened and listened. It is so incredible.I heard his brother David play it, and It would be the greatest thing to hear them play this piece together!!

[ronboy51]

I remember this well. I'd fallen out of my seat by the end of the solo. A night to remember!!

[anjotossy]

This is one of the greatest guitar solos in history. Few other guitarplayer can play like Mr Knopfler.

In other word "He is the best"

Thank you Mark

[Klarasusanne]

Wer wollte als Knopfler-Fan dass nicht auf seinem MP3 ;o)

[ckeuh88]

I want this one in MP3! Anyone?

This is so perfect and beautiful, Knopfler has got incredible rocking fingers!

[Djha2]

doens't really matter which version you listen to the Man is just unic in style and what a touch Simply MAGIC

[DarthGoofy]

The Piano/Bass section is maaagic!

[papitsch]

the best version might be a mix of this one, wembley and alchemy !

[Klarasusanne]

Die Version auf der DVD a night in London steht der im nichts nach. Knopfie, he is the Best. I love him

[PeeNoYaKo]

Why no video though?
