Dire Straits - Expresso Love (Instrumental, very good cover)

[avidbookreader]

Found this accidentally. It's very nice indeed. Thanks for posting!

@Beaglejune80 Hahaha, yeah. I wish it were me.:-)

[wataloadabollox]

Ive found this and more of these covers check out user suslu12 page amazing stuff, loads of DS covers on their page aswell as others.

[Beaglejune80]

Great cover. The guitarplayer must be a soulmate of Mr. Knopfler! ;-)

[thiagosmigo]

why one dislike this??????????

[SuperRonj1]

Sounds like Alex Bollard, that's a guy who in the past made a complete album with DS covers

[eddiekfan007]

good job, but a wee bit choppy at the beginning

[luvvvvvit]

I think you will find its expresso love band - a dire straits tribute band, but still an awsome piece of music.

[Heboz1]

noobs? its dire straits!!

[TheSometimesWhy]

This is an amazing cover of a timeless song. It strikes this remarkable balance between making you wonder if part of it is from the original (the rhythm guitar, the piano, and to a lesser extent, even the drumming), but on reflection it's clearly an original, unto itself. That said, I remember where I was when I heard this song for the first time--it was in a car at the start of what would be a long, cold winter. I pulled over to the side of the road and just listened. Pure soul, this song.

[Kalipmovies]

Amazing song.There is a band called The Brothers in Arms. They have an album with dire straits' greatest hits in an instrumental version. The Greatest Guitar Hits of Dire Straits.

Peace

[swcrowe]

Incredible. Great cover of a great band and guitarist.

[carlosackmann]

This is from a cd called THE GREATEST GUITAR HITS OF DIRE STRAITS. There's ten instrumental versions of Dire Straits songs on this album. They were performed by a band called THE BROTHERS IN ARMS. Only place I could find selling it was on a European Amazon site.

[domagojlordan]

nice

[SonnyAMan]

Thanks. All this time I'd been playing the main riff WRONG! Back to practice on this one...

[galdorio]

i dont think its knopfler ,sounded like plektrum play,and knopfler dont use plektrums only for rhythm guitarrs,but never for lead guitars!!!

[vgonis2002]

@galdorio

CHECK OUT ALCHEMY, I THINK IT IS THE ONLY TRACK THAT HE USES A PLEKTRUM THROUGHOUT THE SONG. BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS MK ON THIS PARTICULAR VERSION.

[widmoxP]

This one is good :d

[magginimalenkov]

You know...

[Brrrrreakbeat]

Better than the original. Mk's singing and strutting detract from the main thing: his guitar playing and composing. If his voice were better, it would have only made things worse. The music is the thing (ok his lyrics are way above average) . This cover though is superb. Yeah, who did it?

[maraniano]

Yeah it's okay, no doubt about it, though I like the piano part in the original very much.

[candelise]

@maraniano Yeah, Roy Bittan rules!

[ANATOL1321]

i love this so much !!!!!!!!!

Magnifico

[isil3399]

No se si es de los Dire Straits pero suena MUY BIEN,  ES PRECIOSA

[an651m]

nice

[cabenavisson]

very good

[ckeuh88]

That's absolutely not MK. But it's nice to listen to.

[lynx1985]

Estoy de acuerdo. No es Mk. ;)

[TomMarvan]

This is fun to listen to - indeed the solo guitar is tasty - but the drum machine gives it away a little that it's not MK's doing.

[untipogenial]

This song , by Dire Straits?

i'm afraid not !...

Mark knoplfer can't play this way..

maybe this was a cover, there are many records with instrumental songs, but in fact this song wasn't played by dire Straits, if you are a real fan, this is a BIG -GREAT FAKE!

[heratic92]

I'm sure MK could play this way if he wanted. Anyway, not the point - the guitar doing the vocals could be anyone really :S

[carlos202068]

Awesome!

[tohuvohu7]

as you know when they record they do tracks , then they sing along , all they is leave out the vocals , so it is the original minus the vocals added later

[tzoche]

Damn this is even better that the original. SUPERBE.

[Peregrineeagle]

The additional guitar that takes the place of Mark Knopfler's voice is absolutely amazing.

[Joi1592]

best dire straits song!

[Passenger2960]

i can't not agree MORE ;-)

[1paOLAa1]

yyyyyeah :-)

[idiotussexus]

Freakin' great!!!

[candelise]

Probably the best riff Mr Knopfler ever wrote!!

[DerKnutmeister]

Where did you get this one+ ;) I thought i had pretty decent control over the studio bootlegs that are circulating, but I can't remember this one.

[ovk8]

no idea, soulseek I think.

but I'm starting to think it's a fake since nobody else knows about it...

but it sounds too damn awsome to be a fake.. right?

[Daska85]

@ovk8 This is a cover from a band called Brothers in Arms, they do alot of instrumental covers of Dire Straits=)

[mr94happy]

Am I the only one watching? This is absolutely awesome!
