Dire Straits - I think I love you too much [Knebworth -90]

[guitarfantamagasmic]

Is it David Knopfler, Rhythm guitar & Vocals?

[guitarfantamagasmic]

@guitarfantamagasmic Nope! It's Philip Palmer. He's a sessional guitarist - one of the best there is.

Trying to lose 20 lbs on a stationery exercise bike over the winter. Cranking out air guitar on the pedals. Rocking the drum beat and the calories are flying off! . In awe of the gorgeous presentation...

[TheWarwick8]

For me both Knopfler & Clapton are musical geniuses. This is flawless. Jeff Healey also totally nails this song.

[paulapaularaejohnson]

who is the guitar player in the blue? Not John....not the bass guitar player...other guy! He is awesome looking!

[guitarfantamagasmic]

@paulapaularaejohnson I was thinking the same thing. I found out that he is one of the best sessional guitarists in the world and his name is Philip Palmer. He's a beauty!

[whatsitallabouthey]

Those suits ...

[hardgreenhorn]

Great Music!! - i love listening to these amazing riffs!! :))

thanks very much for posting!!

[imskeptic1]

Possibly my favorite Mark Knophler song, but then they are all so great, it's hard to say which is my favorite. Clapton really does add something special to this. P.S. I am in love with the back up singer with the derby hat, she rules!

[wowprogamer1]

I get the feeling ! yeaa this is awesome :))))

[chrisgpix]

I heard that Knopfler actually wrote it for Jeff Healey who was cheeky enough to send it back to him as he (Healey) thought it needed changing/improving. Knopfler wasn't impressed.

[cegonoescuro]

Na platéia, tem umas duas pessoas.

[PabloSzelesto]

[PabloSzelesto]

[fIRsTRATmAN]

Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix are just good as each other and should be spoken with in the same league... Guitar Gods

I'd take Mark Knopfler anyday over those 2.

[Robin8707]

[Schnidler]

[ReViv4L]

This is 20 years old and still taste the same ... Wonderful lyrics, amazing musicians on stage, what else could someone ask for? Just perfect.

[thegreatbasher]

This just put a huge smile on my face. It woke me up this chilly damp Wednesday morning. Absolutely brilliant!

[Chicklet3249]

Excellent video! Good clarity...and featuring two of the best guitar players ever.

[MasterclassNL]

clapton is a solo performer, but just dosent care being backup

[Guy9998]

Killer tune!

[xioux66]

maestrazooo mark knopfler,long live for him....thanks.......

[gtgtclolmwah]

I believe Mark wrote this song around the time he was on tour with The Notting Hillbillies, and played it during that tour too.

[DogSwede1]

@gtgtclolmwah - That's true. He even played it during the last DS tour a couple of times. A lot greater version than this, and this is still really good.

[BRUNDIF]

erik and mark is the best guitar solo...i like listen they...

[Fr3derick]

[rjp531]

Killer Song, Two of the very best gitar players alive today!

[aapddd]

Mark wrote this song for Jeff Healey but Mark played this song with the notting hillbillies to and here offcorse and what a sound of his Pensa-Suhr mk1 !!!! :D

[Emibeth]

I'm thinking it's Eric but I'm not sure....just sounds like something Eric would write.

[DogSwede1]

But it is Knopfler's song. :)

[pipsqueek14]

@Emibeth

but some songs of jj cale also sounds like eric write them.

eric and mark have played many times together. i think most of the songs sound like songs that mark or eric wrote, cause there were an inspiration for each other. and i understand that cause they are also a great inspiration for me to play guitar.

they are both legends.

and the inspiration for mark and eric was jj cale so that has a lot to do with the songs.

i think that is why there songs look a bit like each other

[beseeingyou6]

who made this song first???? is it a dire straits song? clapton song? please somebody tell me

[DogSwede1]

Mark Knopfler wrote it, gave it to Jeff Healey who released a own version. Dire Straits played it a very few times during the OES tour.

[beseeingyou6]

thank you. its pretty awesome

[williedb47]

Eric and Mark make a great duo. They are both Legends. Nadine

[zout250]

In one word, great!

[fIRsTRATmAN]

one of the best things i like to watch in the world is MK & Eric playing together. It just doesnt get any better

[salogeo]

@fIRsTRATmAN well how about

MK ,clapton and hendrix only to bad hendrix is dead

[nuno22467]

@salogeo Indeed, but we sitll have Jimmy Page!

[salogeo]

@nuno22467 true :D

[HansGZweers]

Song for his kids, also performed bij the late Jeff Healey, but nothing as good as this version!

Grtz

Hannez

[kawah88]

Knopfler is just as good as Clapton. Admit it.

[MKECBS1]

hes much better then Clapton in my opinion. and thats coming from a huge fan of both

[rjp531]

@kawah88 Knopfler dreams of being as good as Clapton.

Taking nothing away from Mark, he is very good , but he will never be as good.

[spudgun05]

@kawah88 'Better!

[MasterclassNL]

@kawah88 agree!!!!!!!!!!

[whitbyjet65]

@kawah88 I think Knopfler is BETTER than Clapton.

[Guitarstring187]

@kawah88 hes way better

[Stickmodee]

@kawah88 Saw them both. Knoppler is my man. More of an original,soulful sound.

[bruffie1]

@kawah88 I prefer Knopfler. Nobody really plays anything like him.

[pajjooo]

didn't hear this song a long time,very good.thanks.Clapton is a bit funny in pink :)

[ancecorr]

very cool i like so much
