@ ASFM11 if this is 08 that may be his Pensa he's playing and not a Strat

[cristiano2pf3lz]

I dont think he was uninspired... I think its still a great performance... I would pay to watch it... =D

AHHAHAHAHAHA

[ASFM11]

you can hear he is playing a fine ol' strat!

[viniciusalmario]

amazing

[dthevideofan657289]

He is just the right age. A lot of band members from the classic and famous bands are hitting their late 50s to early 60s in age. Makes you wonder where rock music will be 25 years from now...

[dthevideofan657289]

He's just the right age. A lot of the classic and famous bands right now are all hitting their late 50s to early 60s for their ages. Which begs the question of where rock is going to be 25 years from now...

[nspade13]

This is a bad picture for this song, since the classic 'Sultans' sound is from the bridge/middle pickup position on a strat.

[toomanygittars]

I don't know....Mark sounds rather uninspired here... :-b

[mlugg01]

@toomanygittars probably cuz he's been playing this song for 30 years..... I'd imagine it gets to be robotic after that long

[darthrevan10]

@mlugg01 lets not forget the fact that the Legend himself is around 68 i think So by this time he may not be able to play as well as he used to let alone sing as well

[mlugg01]

@darthrevan10 also a good point!

[domnal]

@darthrevan10 He is just 61 born 12 August 1949 ( Wikipedia )

coooooooooooool

J'étais à ce concert mémorable à Bercy. Quelle soirée incroyable!! J'étais au troisième rang face à lui et je peux vous confirmer que son toucher est unique et hallucinant. Cela faisait la 7ème sois que je le voyais en concert (Dire Straits inclus) et l'on en ressort toujours les oreilles comblées.

Long Life Mark.

[Hyakutake77]

Mark a un veritable talent a la guitare! Il utilise même pas de mediator et pourtant le son est incroyable!

[svenzia]

I can play guitar - what do you say now?

[ZK125]

pardon pour la question , je viens de voir une de tes videos et il n'y a pas de doute sur tes qualites de guitariste...

[ZK125]

Complètement d'accord avec toi "jsebsteelguitar"mais je ne suis pas guitariste et toi l'es-tu ?

[jsebsteelguitar]

L'écoute de "sultans of swing" fait toujours un bien fou : musicalité, un toucher incroyable, et de subtils changements dans les soli improvisés du Maître Knopfler.
