  • Whose the saxophonist for the duration of this concert?

  • 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

  • 2 words .... no, not Dire Straits ... F*CKING AWESOME!!!!

  • This music is simple one off the greatest songs...

  • AWESOME.... I'm 15 years old, but Dire Straits are my favourite band. And this song, (especially this version...) is a MASTERPIECE.

  • FU$IN AWESOME.......nuff said

  • 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!!!!

  • Say WHAT A MASTERPIECE ON MORE GOD DAMN TIME! And i will ..... Yep, give the thumbs up yet once again

  • to je moja kapela to ses trefil

  • 1 person hates yellow trousers

  • Cuando escuchas esta obra de arte, te das cuenta de la mierda de música que se hace generalmente hoy en dia...

  • the number of views of this masterpiece,literally, reflects how shallow and stupid is our society

  • @LA2ATHENS Yes, and i bless myself and you that we're not one of them

  • @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.

  • starting 5:30, you know someting big's comin!

  • In 1997 I had a beer with John Illsley !

  • @dukieboy007 - U'R really lucky man!...

  • THRIIIIIIIIIILLLLLL

    Only this kind of music can make you feel deep and real emotions

  • gotta love 1:23 !!!

  • THIS is my drug AND it's legal, although it should be made illegal 'cause GODDAMN, is this great or what!!!!!

  • 6:55

    AGH, IMPRESIONANTE.

    

  • This song, this version, is one of the best ever done in rock history! Always love it!

  • 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.........................

  • Wow, goosebumps...!

  • There really is nothing quite like the atmosphere at a Dire Straits concert.

  • wow....this is music...!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @leodelar123

    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!

  • @MrGreso Actually, this takes place in Nimes, in the South of france.

  • @MrGreso Actually, this show was in the South of France, in Nimes.

    

  • Mark Knopfler is a genius. Long live Dire Straits.

  • 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!

    Vive Dire Straits!

    jeepeeone 2011

  • Mah io direi che è un pezzo favoloso e fatto in modo supremo..

  • le best du best !!!!!

  • 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

  • Gaga and Beiber RIP, you will never understand what real rock and music is. Brilliant

  • Gabe and Beiber RIP, you will never understand what real rock and music is. Brilliant

  • ecouté ce morceaux un havre de paix

  • so geil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ljubav tova !!! mersi

  • This can not be possible to be real live ... this is so incredible & so perfect ..

  • 5:15... And the MK and the people says: "PRIVATE... investigationssss"

  • Mark Knopfler: the best of all times

  • normal people are very rare,society is fucked up Dire Straits #1 #1 #1 band on planet earth and more?

  • I would lik to see this band perform live on Pinkpop in the original line up!

  • 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.

  • dude you`ve got 10 000 views form me

  • úžasné

    je to v Koloseum ?

  • A song for a whole life time...

  • absolutely fantastic is about the closest thing i can say to accuratetly describing this b ut even that doesnt come close to how good it is

  • Which concert this is from?

  • On the night.

    A concert of their last tour. I have the DVD...

  • On the night.

    A concert of their last tour. I have the DVD...

  • @JohnnyWilliams06 :-) I know it's the last tour. But I'm curious which particular show that was.

  • @SpadajSpadaj Coliseum of Nimes...

  • @leocmen Thank you. :-)

  • What kind of weirdo disliked this?

  • @hormazd11 a lady gaga fan ovisiously :P

  • @hormazd11 Must be the kind of person that slaughters puppies and rapes children...

  • @Craplatte Don't be such an ass, dude! Not all the dislikers are fuckin' villains, just FYI.

  • @kulbsufara66 It wasn't meant to be taken literally of course, just a bit of exaggeration for light comedic purposes ;-)

  • Close to absolute perfection, brilliant

  • the guy on the green strat looks like James May =-)

  • no words left!!!! genius!!!

  • It just simply can't get any better !

  • Awsome!!

    

  • fantastica

  • beeen a fan for many years. this is wow

  • wow!!!!!1

  • ...senza parole... GRANDISSIMIIIII!!!!

  • What's the brand on the nylonguitar?

  • @Leksingen I know he owns a Ramirez, but I'm not sure if that's it. The headstock design does look like a Ramirez, though.

  • @TheMSellick Awsome, thanks man :)

  • The genius of Knopfler at his peak and with virtuoso's like Paul Franklin, it doesn't get any better. Awesome

  • una de las mejores canciones sin duda de este grupo, impresionate mark.!!

    me encanta este grupo,una pena que se haya disuelto.

  • 0:00 to 9:54, best part

  • Gran, GRAN banda!

  • i'm confused! i don't know who is better...mark knopler or black eyed peace???

  • ES LA CANCION QUE MAS ME GUSTA DE DIRE STRAITS

  • this has 75 000 views,

    lady gaga has more than 300 million views on one video....

    that shows you how society is fucked up!

  • @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 It seems it's fucked up, but you see the light in the end of the tunnel? or this society has no solution? ;)

  • @Mcflai If you ask me, I don't really care about where sociery is going ;)

  • @TheIncridibleOne yes society is fucked up hard sssoooooo hard

  • @TheIncridibleOne It's absolutely OK. This music is not for Lady Gaga fans. This is for those, who knows, what's the real art. A timeless classic.

  • @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...'

  • GUYS, EARGASM at 6:56 ??

  • @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!!!

  • 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.

  • 9min54 of pure art

  • ....

    at a loss for words

    ..

  • The crowd are fucking annoying. Why dont they shut the fuck up and listen to the music instead of cheering every time a new chord is played. Muppets.

  • 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..

  • @miepdetruus True that :) And imagine how he must feel at 6:56. Exlosion of awesome!

  • pure pleasure :-)

  • Fabulous. The lyrics, mood, and music all fit perfectly.

  • Simply the best performance of this song.

  • I never get tired of listening to this.

  • 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....
