Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing [Nimes -92 ~ HD]

[MrJhfdjhfjk]

simply spectacular

[rpmod1986]

One word "LEGENDARY"!!!!!!!!

[hjenkinz]

well, there we are. we can draw a line under that. music is officially done. what next

[EggeDelfDE]

I meant: always fascinated ,,, sorry.

[EggeDelfDE]

I am always by Chris Whitten, drums. He definitely creates a considerable part of the sound!

He is extremely precise! 

[nkb11]

this is by far the best version of this song on youtube! those 11 minutes just fly away... perfection!

[roby240488]

I love Mark, the way he plays the guitar is wonderful!...

[roby240488]

how wonderful sax and guitar! love them! love mark!....

[dnavidad]

i am sorry, i don't like the saxo, doesn't let you listen the guitar. but the saxo is really good.

[dnavidad]

3:23

[kaifar]

Sicuramente una delle versioni più belle di una delle più belle canzoni nella storia della musica!!!

[vwcasse]

harika, super helal olsun be !

[Luk1nhas2009]

The best version!



[knopflergiannis]

Is Pick Withers on drums or i made a mistake???

[zakota94]

@knopflergiannis no it's Chris Whitten

Pick Withers : drums (until 1982) then Terry Williams (to 1983 until 1988) and finally Chris Whitten (to 1991 until 1992 but never credited as a member).

[arsProfile]

If you don't like this - you don't like music!

[Hobinator17]

9:57 that drummer must be on some serious drugs

[TedBoyRomarino]

@Hobinator17 I dont think Mr. Knopfler would agree with some member of the band being on drugs...

[hjenkinz]

@TedBoyRomarino yeah, no one ever makes good music on drugs.

[Hobinator17]

@hjenkinz yep, because no famous musicians ever had drug or alcohol problems during their careers. except clapton, hendrix, keith moon, bon scott, elvis pressley, hillel slovak, anthony kiedis, johnny cash, etc.

[hjenkinz]

@Hobinator17 dude, you're fucking retarded. read what i responded to you mong.

[Hobinator17]

@hjenkinz chill broski. i misread what you wrote. dont get ur panties in a bunch

[hjenkinz]

@Hobinator17 yeah you're still retarded and a mong, despite a good taste in music

[Hobinator17]

@hjenkinz well at least we both agree on the good music part :D

[Marikit777]

That must be a magical yellow shirt that Mark is wearing because in their Basel 92 performance, he also cast a spell on me with this song....

[CrowNest]

6:53 - Pianos never sounded so good

7:20 - Saxophones never sounded so heavenly

7:51 - I never thought i'd hear a guitar ever again

[abe4u79]

@CrowNest You are kidding, right?

[LumppariC]

3:21 - 3:31 WHAT A HELL!?!?? :D Crazy man...

[pienivla]

Who can keep up with Knopfler!!!

[Alphaz74]

07:20

[Alphaz74]

I saw them in Lausanne, June 1992, magical moment, the stadium was more full than with Pink Floyd or U2, almost 55.000 people, all lit with candles during brothers in arms, I'll never forget those moments !!!!

[nashman63]

So zu spielen lernt man doch nicht, oder? Ich glaube, damit wird man geboren, das kann man von der ersten Sekunde seines Lebens--zumindest, wenn man Mark Knopfler heißt...Hammer-Video!

[MrGuitarejean]

Quand je serais grand je serais Mark Knopfler

[jsebsteelguitar]

@MrGuitarejean ,

Moi aussi, je me disais ça à l'âge de 15 ans...

et je me le dis toujours en fin de trentaine!!!

[BeenMiller]

THE TOP OF MUSIC!

[cuajinay]

i saw this on tv pay per view that day...amazing.....

[YamahaRmp]

One and half a year now my life changed thanks to this incredible man, i just love him...so much that i m sure i ll cry for him!!! I started tha guitar six months ago and i m doing all right!!! Thank God!!! Lov ya Mark!!!

[skemotti]

awesome performance!!!! if u like that check out his wembley'85

[smartalek1]

Wow!  An amazing performance -- thank you so much for sharing it here.

Too bad the audience has so little respect for the genius they ostensibly came to hear that some of them can't manage to STFU during the pianissimo.

The one consolation is, I thought American crowds were the only ones that clueless & rude. But hey, we're still the very loudest, I'm sure; USA! #1! USA! #1!

[2007PHATE]

@smartalek1 Fuck the USA

[JotheBytle]

I love this song so much. It reminds me to the best time of my live !!

[1960rolli]

bellissima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quellidelfurgo]

io posso dire solo una cosa...FENOMENALIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[leandroavonts]

Dire straits é ótimooo....

Muito bom o som, e o guitarrista com sua companheira fazendo as respostas.

Abraços

[JonteKrok]

Some people are put on earth for one reason..

[elvagor]

@JonteKrok to wear headbands? :)

just kidding, of course... i can't get enough of this song, in all and every version I can find here on youtube

[gregkerkyra]

@JonteKrok

in moments like this i wish i was born earlier...

[JonteKrok]

@gregkerkyra Me too! But i can thank my dad for naming me Mark in second name after his biggest idol, and mine also! =)

[gregkerkyra]

@JonteKrok

I can thank my dad too, because when i was baby he listen that music :)

[DimK46]

@gregkerkyra

Tha'ts exactly the same for me!!! :))) 1987!!!

[Pfanta76]

@JonteKrok

... to make a Mark upon the earth :)

[jcpunk371]

@JonteKrok and then came mark knopfler, the jesus christ of rock n roll

[doctorbenjiphd]

WOW!!  jailbreak ubernerd behind the piano!

[asiat30]

In Nîmes?

WoW !!! This live was in the "Arènes De Nîmes"?

[FarBeyond91]

@asiat30 Yes, This is in the "Arènes de Nîmes". Beautiful place!

[nemafann]

Is it just me or does Dire Straits put on one of the best live shows ever? God the goose bumps just don't go away.

[mrmark900]

I love this version!

Does anyone know why Chris Whitten comes down from his usual high up position and plays a different drum kit for just this song?

[Altreconomia]

on that tour Mark wanted to recreate "Old times" Sultans of Swing, when Dire Straits were only in four and not playing in stadiums or palaces but in clubs...

[HF2112]

Mark is guiding and leading all the players till the end..it a team playing and creating a perfect blend of song dont you ever watch and see how many hour on stage just to making the song sound right for us to listen....no ego and no nothing .......just listen and be happy....dont look 4 something bad ....musician is uniq and clean person there is no EGO is just you....like we all say feeling it dirty all the time.... CREGSER go watch wrestling or Tom and JERRY....

[albertotecuni]

the SONG

[cregser]

Great song that never gets old.

Did anyone else get the feeling that the sax player was getting in the way of Mark unleashing his guitar towards the end? He had his little duet with Mark and then I wanted him to step aside. Instead he went centre stage... I thought I could see Mark regretting his decision to bring an ego on stage with him.

[apilluelo]

The best version out there!!! Huge Knopfler and great drummer (Chris Whitten)

[GoofyBCN]

Chris Whitten is so great on this one!!!

[djallecs]

I'm very glad that there still are people who apreciate this. As fore Mark...combined with his guitar.....no words....absolutely awsome!

[zingarela]

WOW.

one of the best versions out there.

I love the part when the saxophone tries to keep up with Knopler's guitar :)

[jcpunk371]

@zingarela which is literally impossible :)

[luxantares]

WOW tnx for sharing!!

[OmaniMe93]

Great uploads man ( or should I say Dog ;) )! Keep them coming, because you can never get tired of Mark & the Straits xD

[Ferry72]
