[discus48]

mette i brividi

[thinkofme14344]

great!! really like it.

[edko79]

You guys have said everything, what remains for me is to see your comments and remain speechless just as the music I am listening at.... we're lucky living in the same world Mark and Emmylou live..

[AdamSandaver]

Superb.

[dransfan1]

Pure... makes me so glad I can experience quality like this.

[ollarik]

Two genuine musicians/singers nails it - the definitive version of this masterpiece!

[mrtogster]

@ollarik Isn;t it brilliant?

[AdamSandaver]

@mrtogster

Indeed it is. Pure magic.

[teleblues1960]

Real people playing real music with real melodies. These lyrics help me regain perspective when needed. Thank you both for sharing your gifts with us all.

[MrTweeel]

Nothin' hotter'n a Babe with a Gibson in her arms......Very nice clip

[raleighsquare]

you still take my breath away, ELH. God bless.

[SaarduLady]

Simply beautiful.

[promptaet]

lovely Emmylou Harris i love you...

[d6hd8kkd99]

Beautiful......

[MrPiter63]

moving....

[erdna77]

wow!! beautiful

[texvanwinkle]

Add 25 years to Mark's voice, and Emmylou to his, and now it's a hymn. Amen and amen.

[s13hgp]

Stunning!

[Fanofmarkknofler]

Love this song!!

[lenahjonsson]

@LB: No, why worry??? Life is eternal, isn't it? We have all time in the world to make our dreams come true, HAVEN'T WE??? (Eeeeediut...)

[BertisEvil66]

WTF !! Beautiful !!

[MrCarbine9]

This is nice. But me thinks the 1986 live recording with The Everlys, Knopfler, etc the best of all time.

[MultiOldmama]

WOW

[blueukeangel17]

ffs how could anyone dislike this???!!!

[Suspiciousbaglady]

@blueukeangel17 ....deaf speed metal anarchists? Only thing I can think of...

[rasminable]

Dear Mark Knoffler.

I love this song, and I cry every time I hurt this song.

Thank you for this song. I love it.

[dawnjakeleah]

I am 66 and she has to be older than me. Man, I wish I looked half that good. Not a wrinkle and such a beautiful spirit - so sweet . She is still as beautiful as ever.

[mmeinild]

@dawnjakeleah

She's from 47 though

[0neuponatime]

Ive been listening to Emmylou Harris for 40 yrs , She can at least tell me where she found her fountain of youth. Still as beautiful as ever!!!

[euroman32589]

sold yr self out mark.......

[touchtoomuch1000]

@euroman32589 This is an old song that he's been performing for ever . Do your research before you comment.

[euroman32589]

@touchtoomuch1000 ,,do yours bud...



[PlayaSinNombre]

@touchtoomuch1000 Oh, come on! It's not THAT old... it's off of the "Brothers In Arms" record which was pretty much the end of Dire Straits' career.

[MrCarbine9]

@PlayaSinNombre  It is 25 years old...a quarter of a century. I mean, it's of my generation, but that WAS a long time ago now. Reality check.

[amtabarreto]

Simplesmente Espectacular...O que dizer? A musica fala por si...

[lusatomo]

Possivelmente o melhor dueto que ouvi em toda a minha vida!

[Indierock29]

Some people can be bad, ...

the things they do, ...

the things they say,...

....

There should be sunshine after rain

[bailinnumberguy]

Saw Emmylou in a fairly small theater earlier this year.  Hearing that voice fill a room is an eye (or ear) opening experience. Incredibly beautiful.

[Bjarni1968]

Emmylou I dont worry when í see your smile!!

[pinchold]

Tailored for the Everlys and they turned the song down silly sods

[AustraliaFare09]

I Love this song and this is a beaut version... Thanks for posting.

[MrFragglerock75]

No matter what kind of music you're into, hip hop, metal, j-pop or opera, it's impossible to dislike this.

[ziofra89]

5 persone non capiscono un c...

[viperdude281]

I got chills at 1:22

[beelzabubba]

This is tremendous.

[Bjarni1968]

Emmylou is such a lovely woman, and what a lovely voice!! That was a grait Dire Strait song but with Emmyloy, it´s something else!

[mrcathy21]

superbes tous les deux ...

[mollycat19]

What is wrong with the 4 people who dislike this music?

[Bjowolf2]

@mollycat19

They just need new batteries for their hearing aids, which they have to use after having

played BEEEP RAP music at 120 dB on their mp3-players 16 hours a day for several years ;-)

[AschersOil]

Folks we have a genius singing to us. To me he restates Solomon, There nothing new under the sun, and there never will be. Don't waste the day trying to figure everything out. Enjoy this day because we don't know if we will have a tomorrow so eat drink be merry and stop complaining about the way things are.

[chitchitify]

awesome

[operator3103]

National treasures of England and America. What a great career both of them have had, and now growing old with grace!

[belikewater001]

Dog Swede, thank you.

[mala265]

Mark Knopfler ..such beaurtiful music..

[DaMuttzNutz]

Pure magic.

[greetenmax]

I totally agree with LHudson. Mark never plays his songs twice the same way! He is so inventive.

[STOPMAKlNGSENSE]

@greetenmax David Byrne does the same thing, he's so amazing about taking already brilliant songs and giving them completely new and equally brilliant sounds.

[jonasjar]

Cant remember having heard MK sing second voice before in a live setting. Very very nice, I seriously doubt this man ever has done a poor show.

[guitarvocs]

Gorgeous, and very appropriate for these days in a special way.

[Geotubest]

It looks almost as if Mark's guitar has an ebony fretboard. Anyone?

[TedBoyRomarino]

@Geotubest That dark wood of his fretboard is rosewood. The light colored strat fretboards are made of maple (as his Schecters onAlchemy).

[SuperFoxylady31]

This song-WHY WORRY NOW- really touched my heart and soul. I first heard it by Dire Straits. It is beautiful !!! No matter who does it. It is so beautiful and peaceful... Emmylou and Mark sang it beautifully. Thank you Mark for this song

[Bassiedebeuker]

Just beautiful. Mark is the GOD off guitar!!

[Kilchattan7]

Why v

[Pfanta76]

Best part: 0:00 - 4:36

[imsneeky]

Kanye Gaga Rhianna Bieber you're jamming me. please listen to this and learn.These two dont need robotics to help them sound good.Please ,all of you ,just go away.

[Marikit777]

With all due respect to any other singer who sings this song, only a Mark solo will do for me... the studio version and his live performances in Sydney and Wembley, somehow he makes it sound so pure.

[wdchefdave56]

On stage with an absolute angel.

[Warstub]

This is so beautiful

[googlegoat]

what a standard for singer songwirters to aspire to.. Absolutely beautiful... thank so much for bringing this one together, I am humbled.

[mgragor]

absolutely stunning

[2n918]

So sweet, so smooth. They make it look so easy. These two go together like peas and carrots! Wow, what a great performance. Thanks for posting.

[eppicha]

Wow! Speechless.....

[MrLeejs26]

no miming here people.stunning rendition of a beautiful.track.

[Samueltrad]

For the 3 souless individuals who disliked this masterpiece, try to redeem yourselves by listening to the Everly Brothers version thereof. There is a wonderful rendition of it around here with Don, Phil, Chet Atkins and MK himself on stage recorded back in the nineties. And get your ears checked BTW.

[perryfan10]

@Samueltrad When there are 3 dislikes out of 800 you just know they hit the wrong icon by mistake.

[edko79]

That's nice comment mate!

those who dislike this music haven't got only ear problems, they must definitely have brain troubles...

[thomasmario1999]

I want to know ..How can you be in your 60s and not have a wrinkle in your face :)

[meakd]

Two of the very very best

[1339LARS]

Marvelous!

[vdcroeselare]

THIS is beauthifull

thank you emmylou and mark

[gfgregori]

The vocal combination isnt cool

[hallettscove]

Got to listen again, just beautiful.

[Evan102030]

I really really love this song, but Emmylou doesn't add anything for me.

[perryfan10]

@Evan102030 I'll disagree with you. I'm a big Dire Straits fan but this song did nothing for me until I heard this version with Emmlou Harris. Mark tends to mumble through songs now, Emmylou gives it a clear crisp sound.

[edko79]

@Evan102030

most probably I agree, Emmylou without Mark's playing should have seemed quite poor... sorry Em, you're still so nice..

[TheChorister51]

Beautiful harmony. Love it.

[frenkieroos1]

Wonderful version. Thanks very much.

[TeddyBlueBoy]

to break our hearts ... Emmylou and Mark ,,...

Fantastic

Thanks

[jeffv2bfree]

two people are stone def.

[1989Oddball]

Just brilliant! makes my heart ache! great post dude!!

[montebardia]

Che armonia,ragazzi.

Semplicemente meraviglioso.

Ciao

Luca Italia

[keinsse]

Simply the best...

[perryfan10]

Mark should get together with Rik Emment and Dave Dunlop for a short tour.

[Hyrem123]

Poetry ... with beautiful music. Great harmonies and a fantastic guitar creation.

[raissaborci]

what an amazing guitar player knoplfer is...just incredible!!

[JLSTaylor]

Two master musicians - each a legend in his/her own right - together to create a truly magnificent and unforgettable performance. A perfect example of how music transcends all genres and unites all musical tastes. ~

[nightman1231]

just love duets, when done like this

[blakedawg76]

Gorgeous.

[onlinelondon]

Never heard this before; very nice - Emmylou is pretty!! - and a good voice!

[ecl1psePT]

superb.. this guy will always be my idol

[NNzak]

1:23 the guitar is alive...

[gregorylee888]

He is playing or I should say holding one of his signature strats ..amazing guitar ....amazing player !!!...and Emmylou does a great job as well ....

[kmr370]

Superbe duo

[LHudson73]

1:45 - those three notes sound better than anyone else's gazillion notes.

[703feetunder]

@LHudson73

Trying to figure out what those three notes are, anybody? Everytime I play this video it helps me answer the question - why worry? Watching the TV news? Why worry now?

[GitarStu]

@703feetunder The three notes are F#, G, G# which he plays as a triplet on the g-string at the 11th, 12 and 13th fret. I've never heard him playing it before. It is nice, but I certainly wouldn't have made a post about it :P

[sickbrainkurosh]

@LHudson73

Yeah! Love it! The typical Mark Knopfler Sound! :-D

[jhffmn1]

@LHudson73 Because Mark Knopfler played them :-)

[steviecbf]

@LHudson73 you are so right, more feel and emotion in 3 notes than in the whole charts right now

[Littlekaraib]

Excellent. Délicieux. Savoureux (Joël)

[66GTO4speed]

Absolutely beautiful..... one of the best duets I've ever heard.

[arfneto]

Who in the world could imagine these 2 singing together at the time of Dire Straits, for example?... Amazing. And beautiful. The same goes for Robert Plant and Alison Krauss together. . . Stunning

[tasracho]

Out of all of his songs.......this is my favorite!!......It's Heaven to me!!

[garamanth]

Wow... What an absolutely gorgeous rendition of this song! I don't think I've heard another version of Why Worry that's as good as this. They harmonise so well, and their vocal combination really suits this song.

[betterway2]

so sweet , magic instant !!!

thanksss:)

[pluggan1]

truth is beauty, beauty truth...that is all you know on this earth and all you need to know.....myself and that Keats guy would like to submit that comment...but I got to hear it !! Thanx so much...

[pedomohd]

awesome performance they really sound great

[revolutionschild666]

God this is gorgeous

[trevancoltd]

I am not usually an Emmylou Harris fan but, WOW this is so good!

[DavidParkinPhoto57]

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT . . . "BRAVO"

[tatsumaru1970]

the best version off this song ever very moving indeed

[4torigirl]

Emmylou can harmonize with just about any danged body or thing can't she? The woman OOOOZZES talent.

[john9944]

I just thought I would add that this is an outstanding post. I ma glad you left in the applause and them walking off stage. It completes the emotional journey.

[dogadder]

Just lovely!

[geehuckwow]

Emmy Lou is the god of gods....

[gmc64nz]

These two bring the best out of each other. Neither has probably ever sounded better! (And that's not being critical, I love most of the work by both)

[JJLonz]

This is a fantastic piece! What a beautiful live performance!

[wokss]

Just the best, just love them together, & it are Gr8 song done by them both

[domi62800]

Superbe, comme d'habitude...

[mrcathy21]

c'est beau!

[rubbersole79]

Sonic goodness

[freepatriot]

Guy Fletcher's ubiquitous pink shirt ... and his ubiquitous lovely playing. Thanks for sharing this.

[dp1386]

dp1386 I thank God for blessing Emmylou with another outstanding vocalist and guitarist to enhance her heavenly voice ! God bless you both !

[Perrygodmother]

Mark K, is a musical genius.

[Perrygodmother]

Sorry to disagree, Male voice should have been top.

[pleuni101]

[hoooternanny]

Stunning performance of a beautiful song. This has helped me through chemotherapy and (almost) back into the light

[anne0203]

thank you for posting !!!!!!!!!!! I send you a virtual hug !

[bossmr06]

Very nice DS1- thanks for posting this. I visit your site regularly and enjoy it greatly. In particular - the Nov09 shows, very intimate venue. How great to have this on disc! We saw Mk and ELH from the 2nd row at the Greek Th (Berkeley-Ca) on the last show of their tour. EL started to breakup a bit on Why Worry, an emotional moment, and MK cracked a bit of wise to snap her out of it so that they could continue. Priceless moment and great performance - best SpeedwayN ever-THX!

[aynatn]

I'm not crazy about either of their voices individually(sorry), but the blend of their voices and their harmony is fantastic. This is beautiful.

[TheJorgecarmona]

MUY BUENO!!..PERFECTO!!

[michellingo]

Fabuleux duo .... Emmylou Harris ... 63 ans ... Grande Dame !!!!

[Ilheu49]

Excellent: lyrics, melody and voices... Don't need more than the sound of two excellent guitars. This song touches me very deep in my heart.

[keanghiero]

Nice

I like it

All the best

[rosesredvioletsblue]
