Dire Straits And Hank Marvin Going Home Live 1985

[jimincairns]

Hank was seventy years old this week...and still gigging!

[PoolsOfBlueGlass]

FAB. Hank must have a portrait in the attic.

[MrKildebo]

this is NR 1 of all guitar player. and had been born with a guitar, and no teatcher has learn him nothing

[DeejaySw4gga]

Don't let the look fool you...

Hes a legend..

[pierre9ism]

[foxesden2011]

Mel Collins was on saxophone at this concert.

[jimincairns]

If any roadie strolled across the stage in front of me whilst I was playing and started stripping the stage, his ass would end up in the second row of the audience.

[jimincairns]

Hank B. Marvin. The ORIGINAL guitar god!

[EvelcyclopS]

as much as i appreciate what hank has done for music, i just cant stand his stuff...

[massimo9741]

questi 2 artisti assieme a jimi hendrix david gilmour e stevie ray vaughan hanno saputo dare alla stratocaster quel dominio fino ad oggi incontrastato, n tempo conteso dalla gibson les paul(altra bellissima chitarra( che per anni decenni fino ad oggi sono arrivati a noi tramite le loro canzoni-La fender stratocaster è la chitarra ad oggi più venduta, grazie a questo genio che era Leo Fender e rimarrà per sempre

[bluedogdan]

Great song and great muscians any good Rock and Roll band should have a sax player. I would love to get my hands on a good video of the Brothers in Arms show they did on Showtime.

[biaora]

the sax ruined it.

[chelskipaul]

I was at this gig, and despite it being at the crappy wembley arena, its still one of the best gigs I've ever been to

[REVELONRAY]

I've always thought the royal,grand melodic style of the best british guitarists was due to Hank Marvin's influence.Wether it's Knopfler or Jeff Beck,Pete Townsend,Dave Edmunds or Johnny Marr - There a piece of Hank Marvin in every one of 'em.

[teamdebt]

What's with the eager roadie. Someone should have decked him. Wait til the end of the song and don't be disrespectful.

[stevepwnz]

@teamdebt

its an in-joke with the band, isn't that obvious!

[velanapontinha]

@teamdebt I agree that the roadies rushing to remove mics and other stuff during the last tune is a bit unpolite, but that was what DS did during that tour, not only that gig. In Alchemy, they do the exact same thing. I guess it was their way of telling the audience that the show was REALLY over, no more encores...

[GGtxt300]

I would MUCH prefer to hear this WITHOUT the sax. I agree with hotroddy69, it robs much from this performance.

[flappospammo]

hanks a lovely guy , you can see that :)

[rainingpuppies]

ahhhh...what is life without marvin...

[ginnyinny]

Saw Dire Straits live, they did this with no sax, not the same at all

[IainB1511]

Real guitar playing not just strumming the instrument as so many do

[hotroddy69]

Not agreat reflection on Hank as the saxophonist chose to steal the lime light and you hardly heard Hank! No vote from me:(

[johnny62825]

sublime

[pmay222]

trouble stayin awake watching this..!

[ahha6304]

this is one of the best vid I've ever seen!! :D

[lewars1912]

Probably running late though the little Hitler taking down the mics should have waited.

[BCK]

Now THAT'S COOL!!!

[bondy1978]

R.I.P Bobby Robson, from someone who knew you once (and from all Sunderland Fans).

[norwayfinland]

[jaseyh]

[Bass5el]

Oh, that's just perfect!!! That's made my year- thanks for that.

[Fr3derick]

Awesome!!!  Thanks for posting:0

[pawnshops]

Great to see and listen to

[Gillesscott]

My two idols together !!! Amazing. Thank you for posting.

[parker133759]

Same here. I used to have the whole show on VHS. Has it been released on DVD? I'd love to own it again. This final song at the end was perfect. Mark Knopfler is one of the three greatest guitarists of our time. (In my opinion. )

[davey1272250]

Dodgy sound - but a beautiful moment that can still be felt

[GGtxt300]

po58dvn, sometimes I wish I wasn't an American. It isn't just that you clearly have a brain the size of a pencil eraser - though that is insulting to pencil erasers since they are actually useful - it is that you actually think you represent something of value when in fact your existence has even less influence on reality than the bush growing outside my office. What a mindless dolt - and apologies to those who think all Americans are like this, they're not.

[po58dvn]

the best bit is when they introduce hank and he nearly trips over......what a four eyed fucker........the usa have chet,jerry reed,scooty moore and were left with that daft looking cunt.....every time i pick up a guitar in this country they always fucking say...i bet you cant hank marvin stuff?...well yes i can but moved on after 10 weeks of learning as he is an utter bifocaled loser who made cliff a virgin to fanny as he shoved his four eyed cock up his 'pop' ass

[theyjam]

wots with the little twat taking down the mics?

[DC4916]

Yeah! I see he soon gets clouted!!! Doesnt realise where he's not wanted!!!

[c00lwind]

In this video Hank has no idea about the song he's going to play... maybe he was invited without even telling him what was about.

[PietvdW]

You need to get some coolwind through your brains.

If you really believe that, if those guys are playing for a huge audience like that, things have been carefully rehearsed over an extensive period. There not like you! They work for a living, and very hard at it as well. Trust me I know!

[DC4916]

Well said, PietvdW! It would appear that

c00lwind has no idea. These guys dont go on stage without rehearshing everything first.

[jimincairns]

RESPECT from the entire band for the living legend, Hank Marvin. Good to see.

[faithlessaaa]

whos the saxophonist?

[Jacksquat99]

Chris White

[bosan56]

thanks for this i had the whole set on video

and watched it over and over sadly lost!

[termibasket]

¡Alucinante y maravilloso, son unicos¡

[TheWelshFerret]

The 2 greatest guitarists of all time playing together, it doesn't get better than this.

[muskettz]

takes a long time to load...man ...well worth the wait........cheers bud.

[Donderwolk104]

Incredible stuff - two guitarist with mutual respect!!!

[strato77181]

Deux grands messieurs, discrets,sensibles, émouvants.....

Encore merci à eux !!!!!!

[strato1946]

...Et voilà pourquoi je ne peux imaginer la Stratocaster qu'en rouge !

[bombaymascot]

WOW !!! I have been looking all over for this clip ! Thanks very much for posting it.

Cheers from Toronto, Canada.

[tyzos]

My two favourite guitarists.

Two Legends!

[GGtxt300]

If memory serves, this was the Brother's in Arms tour. This particular performance was in Wembley Stadium.

[GGtxt300]

I remember when they were showing this concert live on MTV. I recorded it on VHS and dubbed it to a cassette. Listened to it for years until it was stolen from my car around 1990. I grieved. Especially for this song. Years later, after the internet had evolved into what it has become, I was able to rediscover it. I still get wispy-eyed when I listen to this track, the beauty of the music and being reminded of that idealistic wide-eyed youth. Thank God for the world wide web!

-John

[lionheartmart]

This is the best performance ever of this song. All the elements are there. Should have 20 million views

[LuzArt]

Wow, that is fantastic. Where did you find this? It's pro shot, i wonder if there is a reel of the whole show. I'm guessing it was in the UK, possibly even at the Hammersmith Odeon??

Thanks for posting the vid, nice to see more vintage Straits.
