[straycatttt]

I heard this song on radio in the U.S. and thought "Who the F is that?" One of my first album purchases.

[guille9177]

lo escuche de pibito, me sigue asombrando, es increíble, esa guitarra habla!!!!!

[friodeverano]

Cuando laboraba en la selva escuche por primera vez esta cancion y esta musica me hacia soñar con la mujer de mis sueños q hasta hoy no la tengo jajajaja o no la encuentro...apago el pc

[friodeverano]

"Los Sultanes del suing" es una eminencia para mis oidoss...q viva el rock

[BrainCaperKid]

Albert King + J.J. Cale + Bob Dylan = Mark Knopfler

[NNSimonov]

Awesome! One of the best singles of those years) If you catch the melody in the morning and it doesn't leave you until late the day turns out well )

[lutz070707]

i know for a fact joe bonamassa is better, so if phil sayce

[TheSevenNation]

god is playing in this video...yeh, the guy that do the solo parts! =O

[odiugelcnu]

Even though I don't consider Mark Knopfler that best of all time, if I was given a wish to be able to suddenly play the quitar like anyone that ever played one, I would chose him!

[leon42654]

j adore cette chanson,elle me fait passer des frissons

[MrMigue143]

Wow! I can die in peace now. Mark Knopfler is god.

[angie7j]

Epic!

[vinteresting3]

underated is right

[vinteresting3]

Anyone who doesnt think mark is awesome should go crawl back under that rock where they should have stayed

[peterkray]

The Most underated guitarist? Where, among Bieber fans? MK is widely acknowledged as one of the best guitarusts ever, for very good reasons.

[1843rick]

The most under rated guitarist of all time.

[1843rick]

The most under rated guitarist of all time.

[Annemarie439]

Wunderschönes Lied ....erfolgreichsten Bands der letzten Jahrzehnte.

[RAMLIA1]

[maliktajuddin]

This is one of the best guitarist in the world,Mark Knopfler.I love the soun of his guitar ...he is the best all time.we love you Mark go for it,music will never die...music is the food of love...

[ClevoMaiden]

So...........no pick? This man is God.

[Dominikslash]

4:45 fail,but he's the best:)

[santillanaelpuma]

la guitarra de mark te hace olvidar toda la miseria del mundo !!!!!!!!!!!

[droitwichblue]

Heard it day 1 on BBC Radio 1, bought it day 1, still the best op song ever. (Mark looks like Julius Cesar with that fringe tho )

[hamidfan]

unbelievable.. still watching it in 2012.. with the same feeling when it came out

[An0therSh0rtFella01]

Does anyone else listen to this song atleast 10 times a day and never get tired of it! :D

[danielMMachado1]

ouvir swing of sultans pilotando moto no fim de semana é o máximo!!!

[Ellipser]

yeah

[THEKUROCHAN]

Guitar Heroes

[toomanygittars]

A slightly nervous (?) Mark with newly combed hair!

This tune is one of those special tunes that made me want to play the geeetar - after hearing it for the first time on my older brother's car stereo! Did I wear those first Dire Straits albums out....

[CINGO25]

His singing is like Bob Dylan for the poor ;)

[jenniferleighroberts]

@CINGO25 Dont know if troll or serious.Fantastic band

[mojopin70]

@CINGO25 hes much more talented than dylan, why do you think he came looking as soon as he heard him play......

[handsomewood1]

@CINGO25 Bob Dylan sings like a braying Ass..

[An0therSh0rtFella01]

@handsomewood1 Shut the Fuck up

[handsomewood1]

@An0therSh0rtFella01 Dillon Signs like you do when you break a nail... WAAHHHHHH!!

[An0therSh0rtFella01]

@handsomewood1 uhm its dylan retard, and its sings, not signs. Jesus what a retarded group of people are on the the internet these days.

[handsomewood1]

@An0therSh0rtFella01 The only retards here are those who like Bob Dylan. He sucks. Bob Dylan would not make a pimple on Knopfler's azz. Eat me.

[An0therSh0rtFella01]

@handsomewood1 they are both quite similar, and i love both, your a closed minded idiot, you have no idea what your talking about, so just fuck off

[BigsbyDude]

I saw them in Feb of 79 at the "Paradise Club" in Boston WCOZ hosted them . The place holds about 100 people if that I was five feet from Mark and they played that entore first LP.. Great Show.... Sultan's of Swing !

[petegrierson]

It' s good to see the brother's in full swing, GOOD TIMES!?!

[titanix2]

I love the way Mark plays... he improvise, he do mistakes, but man... their feeling... it what playing live is all about... if I go to a concert, I want to hear the guys playing... if the song is equal on the studio, is worth being home listening the records... Dire Straits, amazing band, lots of inspiration!

[billtox]

@titanix2 Dude,what do you mean by "he makes mistakes" ?...

[dosboss22]

i just love how he sings

[Isamaxi29]

ahora si, aca esta el solo ......... mejor me dedico al simulador y a escuchar

[avidbookreader]

Whenever the name 'Herman Li' is mentioned, the word "scissor" immediately pops into my head.

Yeah I am strange, I know. Can't help it. ;-)

Since I am referring to hairstyle...Have I already confessed that I really really love Marks haircut in this video? :D

[DisgruntledBastard01]

@avidbookreader lol that is a pretty random thought i must admit and yes mark's hair cut was awesome, shame he's nearly bald now and i miss his head band

[DisgruntledBastard01]

herman li can go fuck himself

[Triple777ER]

@DisgruntledBastard01 ROFLOL! I agree.

[DisgruntledBastard01]

@Triple777ER it is hard to convince a 14 year old that herman li is the antithesis of a guitarist

[funofsk8ing]

haha nice hair, mark xD

[34835513mb]

i'd love to see he playing his guitar ,1 of best guitars all times .i'm 23 years old and I love Dire Straits ,from BRAZIL .

[iveselijah]

He is the " Da vinci of guitar"

This music is the "Obra prima of rock"

Sir of guitar

[zebul0n7]

classic song

[smvc90]

3.17

[nicolassantana555]

Mark Knopfler will not use the first vane

[nicolassantana555]

this is music.

[fIRsTRATmAN]

The greatest song of all time, the greatest guitar playing ever.

Mark Knopfler = Guitar God

[Nigelxman]

@fIRsTRATmAN It's a good song but lets be serious. :-)

[vinteresting3]

@Nigelxman why who u think is better

[brianjnunes]

that is one heck of an epic first single for a band.

[DoctorGarkle]

I must have heard this song more than a hundred times in the late 1970's when I was a teenager and never once did it do a thing for me. All of its brilliance was utterly lost on me. I think it was because my sister liked Dire Straits. She just wasn't cool you see. But I WAS cool...so cool that my stubbornness deprived me of some of the greatest music of my lifetime.

[natlsm]

Aint no one touch mark and his main men sultans of swing u make me swing forever

[091053JG]

Great band a a real good song.

[luigirunnerman]

Pick Withers is a damned genius!

[210acer]

best song eva!!!

[ipodsock]

simply awesome...

[professorfirestick]

29th January 1978, Leicester Polytechnic, Dire Straits supported Climax Blues Band. I was helping the bands set up in the afternoon when these Geordies sound checked with "Sultans of Swing" and "Down by the waterline". I'd never heard of them, and still remember turning to Roger Ringwood (social sec) and suggesting they definitely had something! Awesome gig, and seeing this brings it all back. Was anyone else at that show all those years ago? . Bless all who appreciate true musical quality

[painxtreme]

@professorfirestick Never an idea they were Geordies. Mark doesn't sound like one, though he does speak quietly.

[canarioenhuescar]

@professorfirestick El mejor con la guitarra de vida si la escucha woooo.

[Melodia466]

Excellent



[kism3]

@GreatGuitarHeroes please make this video take up the entire screen add the tag 'yt:crop=16:9' without the quotes to remove the letterboxing

[jackp575]

when you play tis on the guitar you feel like a musical god.

[Oxtankahn]

I've listened to the LP version and identified a little mistake in Mark's solo at the end of the song...in the 4.47 minute...you see?

[annabatarowicz]

@Oxtankahn what do you mean mark knopfler is known for makin mistakes on geetar

[TheLordHodne]

Chris Martin.. Anyone see it?

Great music

[prigel]

SUBBED!

[ishiibrad]

One word....Fuckin Classic!

[DeamSKlyssXXI]

Quem não vive escorado em crenças estúpidas dando vida mansa a chefetas de crenças sabe que as coisas são difíceis, mesmo o talento tem dias de muito esforço para chegar às performances espetaculares ... esses caras embalaram as reflexões que culminaram na Lógica Estrutural do ESPAÇO .. Confiram no site Shannon Ballanne.

[TheNeuty]

Is the bollox!!

[Evisceratore]

1-Mak Knopfler

[MrDemilord]

Awesome



[essertpitay]

To think punk was all the rage at the time.

[creakyprop]

The Newcastle jazz scene was huge arounf the time this was written- at any given time you could find a pub somewhere in town with a live band playing.. Ive always wondered if this was inspired by the Corner House in Heaton- you could find a band just like the one in the song there most sundays and tuesdays

Thanks GGH, I for one am extremely grateful you have uploaded all theses clips. For example Eric Clapton performing Badge on the OGWT. His backing singers are Marcella Detroit and Yvonne Elliman. Marcella is currently appearing on a UK programme called Popstar to Operastar...I can now educate my 22 yr old daughter that Marcella had a career before Shakespeare Sister...Thanks again, greats tracks :-)

[MICKJAC08]

Granada......learn to be grateful.What have you uploaded ? Your welfare check to your local pub ? It is sickening on here that their are so many of you who can only put people down.You can reply,but I will never read it,for you are a loser......WITH A HUGE 'L' TO START. Now, that I have lowered myself to you level.....I will still say.....PEACE AND LOVE,LMAO !!!!

P.S. GREAT POSTINGS G.G.H. CHEERS!!!!

[GreatGuitarHeroes]

It is one part of the first complete episode of guitar heroes featuring 17 performances all of which I have uploaded in the correct tv presentation running order. it is for easier reference for someone looking through videos on my channel rather than someone just searching that particlar clip on the search panel.

[streetsideguitarman]

@GreatGuitarHeroes - much appreciated brother

[petesn]

@Granada28 Tit

[bat69tab]

@petesn proper tit, innit!

[smoky420a]

@Granada28 Why upload your comment, no1 gives a shit. There's plenty of 'repeated' uploads of any video on here

[notnowjon]

@Granada28 why not??

[tsuntzuer1]

@Granada28 its is uploaded because someone is remembering the time when the song and group was rocking half of the world, its called remembering good times, maybe you didnt do it, but plenty of us were born to fine rock and roll musis when the old 33 rpm LP ruled the world, the second album I bought was Dire straits communique... back in the late seventies early eighties

[fIRsTRATmAN]

@Granada28 Stop being a dick head and enjoy the great music and the quality of this upload.
