I found out about this song from Brothers in Arms, now that I hear the Sultans of Swing original version I cringe because the live one is muuuuch better
Ever been cheated on? some girls need putting down, not many know what this songs about....I just asked him.......and I was right, Mark Joked " I couldn't call it Slag Investigations in them days, It'd probably go down well nowadays".......what a Stand Up Guy!!!!
@LA2ATHENS I think that's just what Mark was hoping to reach. He published Love over Gold album for himself mostly. So I don't think that views matter now...
There is just 1 thumb down. It must be a wrong thumb up vote, the buttons are so closed to each other. I don't think there could be a person who dislikes this.
This helps me survive loneliness and depression. I saw Mark twice and his brother David once, but would give anything to see these guys at least once more. Straits lives on!
@20sk Go for it pal, but you'll never hear this live again........real pity, was the song that made me fall in love with the DS DRUG.........................

The Location is The Arena in Verona, it's similar to the Colosseo in Rome, but the Colosseo is not open for concerts. I thnk the last live shows in Colosseo in ROme were been the Gladiator's ones!
Mark et sa troupe, un groupe planétaire qui révolutionné le Rock à la fin des années 70, et lui a apporté cette touche de fraicheur qui ressort si bien du son de la guitare de son propriétaire, le magique Mark et qui fait qu'on reconnait ce son entre mille!! Bravo à la Classe, à la Qualité, à la Mélodie, à l'Art Musical!
what can we say more about the dislikes, i can't believe that people don't like this...
This sound always makes me shiver... Dislikes they should be spam... by clicking on dislike in a song like this they should be banned forever of Youtube
How awesome are Dire Straits, I remember when they came to Adelaide in the Eighties, it was simulcast live on FM radio, i wasn't at the concert but was about 1km away from Football Park, i could here them clearly outside as well as on radio, it was a memorable moment indeed as a teen. Mark Knofler is the consummate professional.
@TheIncridibleOne ...Totally agree, that shows the total degeneration of our society and at which extend a lot of people are brainless and totally unable to appreciate anything. I gravitate around people like that who swear by lady gaga, and this kind of crap, they watch Jersey shore. Just being around them pollute my brain, I hate them.
@TheIncridibleOne very well observed... Lady Ga-ga and Justin Bieber are for the uneducated multitudes, while this kind of music here is for listeners with selective tastes.
@TheIncridibleOne atualmente são quase 100 mil visualizações, enquanto o da escrota tem 300 milhões,
mais amigo, não se preocupe, nós 100 mil, que vimos, assistimos os videos, escutamos dire straits, somos mais inteligentes, mais maduros e temos um gosto melhor que de 300 milhões de pessoas no mundo!
@TheIncridibleOne the problem is ppl always start talking about gaga or whatever...this music is on it's own and has nothing to do with others let alone be compared to other music...but probably ppl will always compare even if its 'not comparable...'
@luismoralesz DIOOSS!!! totalmente orgásmica!!! estoy de acuerdo contigo en que esto seria mejor en profundo silencio, escuchando todos los acordes de una guitarra y una voz perfecta de el gran Mark Knopfler!!!
disculpa pero este tema se debe escuchar en profundo silencio sin aplaudir ni gritar ni nada debes estar como muerto para poder apreciar y grabar en la mente cada detalle al final de puedes morir feliz

Obrigado Mark e Dire Straits por me terem ajudado a gostar ainda mais da música. De outra forma eu não não teria gostado tanto de viver os meus 20 anos.
nice to see the face of the guitardude at 1:03, looking how the crowd reacts to those simple 7 notes he plays, the crowd goes insane!! just like us, goosebumps... it must have been awesome to be him at that moment.. well, it must have been awesome to be him anyway, playing with mark knopfler isn't exactly a punishment i guess..
Это самый классный концерт одной из моих любимых групп! Я его смотрел ра наверное 50, и посмотрю еще столько же, тем более он у меня в машине постоянно заряжен... Дайр Стрейтс вы лучшие .. и спасибо тебе Марк!!! Ты настоящий мастер...
In another life I'd like to play like that... definitely my favorite guitar player... too bad he's not showing more of is talent in the latest albums he's done....
