[anmaba3]

M.K. ist ein toller Gitarrist und Sänger!

Mark really is the best. And so is Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, look him up, you'll dig him.

[brendanbeirne2]

Who is playing drums here?

[TheThg86]

Danny Cummings

[TheMax0210]

He's the coolest guy I've ever seen!

[caramello7knopfler]

This solo (6:23) sounds like a train!!

It's like in "Eastbound Train" too!!

Mark Knopfler Rules!!

[kindblue59]

Indeed! It's got some licks from the Eastbound Train solo :)

[evanzegreat10]

it's funny to think he played with Weird Al Yankovic when they did the parody of Money for Nothing.

"some day they,re gonna write a blue for fighters. it,ll be just for slow guitar,soft trumpet,and a bell." sonny liston"

[RichardDeanWorld]

Mark Knopfler, the real thing, nobody can take his place. He's a one of a kind...

[inxs07]

mark is a true talent. i am so glad someone has done something for a forgotten sonny liston. sonny was a great fighter who had a very rough life. mark knofler has done a fantastic job putting his life to music.

excellent!!!!!

[SillyDiver]

This is one of those songs that ya want to keep hearing over-n-over...The rhythm is to cool. Mark's low voice adds the (WOW) factor! :)

[cartino6]

Vraiment génial...Merci beaucoup

[jahjahjag]

didn´t know Mr Knopfler was a boxing fan. I wish Sonny Liston himself could hear this song...

[Rzlo]

Man, how i love that solo, sounds kinda improvised.

[whyrag]

Great stuff ! Cool sound out of the LP as well. L8R, whyrag

[bossmr06]

Saw this live from the 2nd row and almost peed myself. Amazing intensity and emotion! Bravo!

[Rzlo]

Its quite cocky to start playing blues for real so late in his career and he does it great.
