Carlos Santana another over - rated and promoted singer from the states. As an American, I feel robbed that Dire Straits was not played on the radio and promoted like all Clapton, Young , et all were.
Sensational, thanks for posting these videos. I'm 17, I could not see them still together, but thanks to you I can see how they were wonderful musicians. Many thanks from Brazil!
which song has the Lyrics "hey Mr. wanna take a walk on the WILDside"? allegedly said to a Man, Not Mark! by apparently a much-YOUNGer girl Not boy? Then, did underAge KIDs offer SEX to (wannaBe)PAEDOs as much as they do nowadays? I never thought UKhas so many White PAEDOs not coZ all White brit-born men (+ woMEN! r PERVERSE) but coZ KIDs themselves wanna do stuff since they R 10-12 y.o. They wanna surrender to a "MR."/Sir (nowadays Black Man) as soon as poss like their parents b4them, etc
Such an intensity in his playing, love Mark and his fingers made of pure gold

A fun light single,
but Communique was also a very good album IMHO.
I Think that "Down to the Waterline" & "Sultans of Swing" are better hits,
but that "Communique" was a better album than the Debut Self Titled "Dire Straits".
Mark was and is truly gifted. He is one of my favourite guitarists.

You're right. I have also noticed how much higher MK wore his guitar in the early days than he does now. This would make barring chords easier.

Terrific point! That was before keys and synths filled up the sound, making more dual-rhythm guitar necessary...
