Dire Straits - In the Gallery [Rockpalast -79 ~ HD]

[makn0]

now i want to listen to "follow me home"

[mojopin70]

this early stuff is by far the best

[moosey62]

MK is a fucking genius

[flbe6000]

A performance like this shows why Rolling Stone is smoking something when they rate MK as the #27 greatest guitarist. The whole series from Rockpalast is killer. Move over Jimi , MK is here.

[GeorgeTel100]

@flbe6000 I dont think the RS ever goes by talent in their ranking - salesmanship is the only factor they seem to look at

[narnyslip]

1 dislike!! Lets hunt the cunt down and stab him in the fucken eye!!! Ah, Just saying!

[adentt]

was illsley's bass even plugged in?? one of my favourite straits songs.... awesome

[robinjohanssonmdh]

@adentt You really need to get new speakers:P

[dergrossen]

Hiya DogSwede!

[narnyslip]

These guys went against the grain as Punk rock was the flavour at the time and Dire Straits shone through like a bright light!!! As we all know Punk didnt last and Dire Straits came through unscathed!!! Legends!!!

[marco12rgb]

1 man is going to die

[frimpit]

Guitar just doesn't get any better than this. It just doesn't.

[Marutsero]

they´re not underrated at all !! Stupid people just don´t listen to them, and they´er majority here on this planet :)

[Mylovelycars]

@Marutsero That's why they are underrated......

[morrieswigs]

Most underrated band of all time

[landmagia1]

He's just spectacular!

[lg15flat]

Holy crap! Forgive me for my ignorance, but I always thought that Mark Knopfler was American, not British! He sings with such a distinctive American accent! Only after I heard him speak here, did I realise he was British.

[mojopin70]

@lg15flat yes even the americans thought dire straits were from the states at the start hence bob dylans interest as soon as he saw them in the states....awesome band but yes british band......

[tranvozcaya]

there's one who pushed the wrong thumb..

[StJouish]

I'm delighted to find Dire Straits again. After some years. God bless YouTube. Terrific improvisation. And I guess it's silly to complain about performers' outfits. But what is the point of that uncouth undershirt?

[VERMONTSKUNK]

remeber when that shame of a station mtv used to play dire straights videos? back when real music rocked the charts!

[bushibayushi]

everyone praises MK but don't forget about David, he's SUPERB rhythm guitar player

[Billbill80s]

This song is really amazing. The lyricism is just great. 

[floydwarb]

I really want to play this song all the way through note for note but can't find the tab anywhere, does anyone know where I could find the tab or are there any teachers that could teach me?

[danslatente]

@floydwarb Dude, I learned it by ear. It's in Ab. It's like a pentatonic sort of thing. And the solo, let's face it, is pretty easy to learn by ear too. If you train yourself to learn by ear, you will get better at it. Tabs are for the musically challenged or short on time.

[LivingOutOfTimeBand]

@danslatente. Its in Am.

[danslatente]

@LivingOutOfTimeBand Oh shit, is it really? The studio version too? Then I must have had my guitar tuned wrong lol. My mistake bubba.

[MultiCreek]

oh there's always 1 idiot.

[Sm0keSG]

5:00 LOL

[oxlopez]

Was he being sarcastic at the beginning?

[thomaswni]

@oxlopez of course...

[thomaswni]

you must admit that it's awesome that MK can do this, even through he's lefthanded, and playing on a right handed guitar

[albertaberg]

this is great stuff

[Guitarstring187]

0:45 look at the guy on the left with his little foot slide dance.....classic!!!

[mustsilm]

Mark making love to that Strat :)

[2003fxstbi]

This kicks ass!

[galk108]

knopfler is king

[roaringchicken92]

Few can pick it like Mark Knopfler -- but I think I could whup his ass in arm wrestling :-)

[whoah1988]

Fucking great. Totally underrated, and brilliantly stunning live. 

[SunTeleLeo]

Great

I hope this music will supplant the shit on TV and radio today --- in 2001... Odessey

[themindblowband]

@chrishill1231 I'll send you if you're waiting still...

[CPH1977]

Pick Withers was such a great drummer, he had a fantastic touch and a great feel, wonder what he's doing now? Straits was never quite the same band after he left.

[themindblowband]

yeah this song has a reggae theme but that's why MK is a genius. he made a british rock song from reggae.

He's the best musician ever!

[MrChanakkale]

.....reggae,fusion,ska,rock...­...

[Marcondo1950]

Knopfler got some great steel guitar licks on this one.

He is so good.

[themindblowband]

@Marcondo1950 he's good everytime

[diotriton]

...il chitarrista dal tocco più bello!

[rockjano]

Amazing!!! The energy they put into this is fantastic...

[shineonprickley1975]

Freddie King layed the foundation and Mark just built his own house of blues....

Sit on the A....... RIP Freddie;)  Mark and Dire Straits genius...... Where is the Music...seems to hae been missing for a few years now?

[Hostog]

Haha, David and Mark from 0:40!! My favourite from Rockpalast!

[reouaich]

i love the power he puts in his playing, for what i've seen he doesn't play with that energy often

[quovadis1952]

Fantastic!  There are no adequate words to describe this...pure magic...Mark is the Best.

[sparklingdark]

DS is so under-rated

and MK has the best voice

[albertaberg]

@sparklingdark i wouldnt say he has the best voice, but his guitar skills are top class

[dergrossen]

@sparklingdark Who the F underates them? You must be from Alaska!

[Gilmour3]

@sparklingdark Well thats what i thought too but then i realized that they 've sold over 100 million records!!So i guess you cant say they 're underrated..and sure they deserve all the recognition they got!!Dire Straits for life!!!

[ptalex1976]

totally unique guitar playing... amazing

[bz4youandyou]
