Mark Knopfler - Brothers in Arms [Music for Montserrat ~ HD]

[Fuccixxx]

this make me cry....

[439514]

Maestro Knopfler.........he belongs with Mozart , Beethoven, etc.

[PhantomT1412]

The accordion guy is Paul "Wix" Wickens, Paul Mccartney's keyboard player.

[TheSGTNicolai]

@PhantomT1412

I saw them all. Mark Knopfler, McCartney & Wix, they're all fantastic!

[DeepFill86]

I was there for that concert in London in Sept '97. People were openly weeping when he played that song. It was a moment I will never ever forget.

As if that wasn't enough of a performance, McCartney came out shortly after and played Yesterday, solo. As I recall, it was his first time at RAH since his days as a Beatle. Someone described the scene as sublime....truly was. BTW, Knopfler TOTALLY blew Clapton away that night. No contest.

[EuDanielSantos]

One of the biggest assets of the human kind.

[Chris1972H]

1 person seen Montseratt and thought this was opera. Sorry kind sir we forgive you

[tleemo1]

I’ve seen other live versions of this where you can hear the audience cheering, quietly singing and clapping along, but when you can see that everyone’s listening so intently and it’s so quite that you could hear a pin drop like in a cathedral, you know the power of it…. It’s speechless, priceless, breathtaking, defies words and descriptions. It’s truly one for humanity.

[Lordsirdonlast]

Simplemente hermoso! Imposible contener las lágrimas.

[TERRI11]

Artists like these should live and play forever , proper music not like all Shit that's been coming out for past 15 years or so , I was born way too late and missed all best bands.

[ajlcag]

First Video I see with more than 50000 views and 0 dislikes....

only Mark could do it

[ivi9kpo]

I'm 16 I'm Argentinian, and I love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler.

[fossaalta]

da antolgia : come una canzone esprime il senso della devastazione della guerra..

[bigdavemojo]

Knopfler's guitar work is incredible here; this is the best performance of this classic song I've ever heard. So moving....

[gispadaa]

Uma verdadeira 'Obra de Arte"

[Serie312]

Youtube has been put to good use...

[Lupingreenredpink1]

The returns of Mark,Eric,Phil in the 2011?Fantastic the best kings of rock!

[dwittersnacker]

Dog - Iove you and thank you for this beautiful version. It is absolutely stunning in quality. Having the orchestra there ... well I'm speechless! Good job!

[MrDiablo1976]

The best performance of the best song ever written and composed - this music is truly heartbreaking. Angels cry all the time like people should

[tsony36]

Spectacular!!

[gpeddino]

Very cinematographic rendition. Great orchestral arrangement.

[00MALACARA]

imposible mejorar esta versión. Ahí queda.

[Vladymir1916]

I'm always crying when I hear that song... And this is so beautiful version.

[emboladoomeiodecampo]

Uma das mais lindas músicas do Dire Straits. Considero também, Brothers In Arms, um dos melhores discos de rock de todos os tempos.

[msz112]

I'm 18 and I love it and I'm very proud of it. Thank you.

[figurebytheroad]

Love so many versions of Brothers in Arms, but this one ranks highest for me, that bit at 6:46 sends shivers down my spine, he's so immersed in the song. Beautiful.

[jared1847823487]

I think the accordian player is Wix from Paul McCartney's band ... yes / no?

[MizukiXian]

Love this version of this song! <3

[solOcure]

insuperable, Mark "Mozart" knopfler

[ireload2]

One of the very best versions ever?

You are right about that.

[ireload2]

Violins and Knopfler - sublime

[stonedpimpdaddy]

Cool how he just stops and listens to the symphony at the end!

[LX50COUPE]

@stonedpimpdaddy I thought that the first time I saw this too..

[emmanuel08101988]

GOD AT WORK!

[Dzonrid]

Isn't that accordion player same guy who plays in McCartney's band?

[MegaHockey91]

could somebody post the model name of the guitar, knopfler is playing on?

[DogSwede1]

Gibson Les Paul '58

[MegaHockey91]

[MegaHockey91]

[SzybkaForsa]

[oldfart4751]

51 you'll love it! been there to see Mr Knopfler at the Royal Albert Hall. Saw Dire Straits at Wembley arena in 1985, to name just 2 venues, the guy is magic.

[6K6R]

Thanks for the share Michael

CS

[FadeToBlack181]

when I first turned on the video I thought Phil Collins would do the vocals

[CoASyIC]

The "unknown accordeon guy" looks like Paul "Wix" Wickens (paul mccartney's keyboardist and accordeonnist)

Anyway, great video, thanks a lot!

[theshd]

timeless

[wozthuronce]

Really good video and for a very worthwhile cause, if you get the chance go to the Island. The studio can be visited, the house that George Martin owns is open as an hotel, great pics on the wall by Linda Mc and the food and service is first class. Beware the rum punch, its the very best and extremely addictive.

[rom44444n]

gives me goosebumps every time i watch it...GREAT!

[pouriapo]

great video thank you for sharing... great quility.

[4rainbowed]

Who is the percussionist with the tambourine? I see him in all the Royal Albert Hall performances, and/or with people like Knopfler, Elton John, and a lot of others... think his name is Ray ____ (something) can't recall the last name. The cool bald dude in the back.

[DogSwede1]

It's Ray Cooper (as the description says), :)

[joaosil]

I think its Pierluigi Colina :D:D (jkg)

[02DT66]

@4rainbowed

Hey, I have no idea who this bald percussionist is but I was just about to leave a comment in here about how he's supporting this act when I saw your post . Have seen other percussionists standing in between their instruments playing and making bored moves as if they were backing vocals. But this guy seems to be fully focussed on the music and what hes doing....and he does very very well. Doesn't mean Mark Knopfler did not well.....sure he did, but that was expected :) .

[slow777]

I would also like to thank DogSwede for the video! its just great!

[perypatetyk1]

Thank you DogSwede1! It`s really the best, the most emotional performance of this hit! In HD it`s wonderfull. Really thanks. Do you maybe know, it`s possible to find the full video of this concert?

And for the new visitors: don`t miss "Mr. Tambourine Man". He is amazing isn`t he?

[slow777]

Hey! actually it's possible, I have it, this concert is recorded on DVD called "Music for montserrat" i've seen it in many stores here in barcelona and also in internet shops so sure you can find it. good luck!

[perypatetyk1]

Thnx, slow777!

[liesbethje]

[B0zz3]

[OmaniMe93]

Thanks Dog

[DogSwede1]

Finally here in better quality.

One of the finest versions there is. Fantastic with the orchestra.

[4rainbowed]

Beautiful ---were you there? Or not? MK says the Royal Albert Hall is his favourite place to perform.

[DogSwede1]

I wasn't, But I wasn't either more than five years old at that beautiful moment.

[af69bp21]

@DogSwede1 so how old are you lol im 21 im surprised somebody young actually likes good music lol

[DogSwede1]

@af69bp21 - I'm 17 :)

[rainsizzle13]

@af69bp21 I might get a bad comment from this, but almost all of today's music has gone downhill. Nothing can compare today to this type of music. At least that's my view.

[B4ndwidthBandito]

@rainsizzle13 There is still good music out there, its just not so easy to find. The music publishers are so busy creating "product" i.e. disposable music and artists that they neglect the really good stuff still being "created" rather than produced.

[ibuli51]

is it?i ll go and see him in 01.06.10. in the royal albert hall,cant wait!it will be a day when a dream come true!
