  • I LOVE it !

  • Such a good video and a amazingly talented artist, I wish I could play like he does. He does it so easily. I will keep practising none the less! :P 

  • Whoever shot this video....

    ...Awesome work! Do it again! Very steady, smooth, natural, professional...DIGS, Baby!!!

    I love Mark also...

  • podias depois dar me umas dicas de como tocar a brothers in arms.. tocas a romeo and juliet com afinaçao normal ou com o capo na 3ª e afinaçao diferente?

  • epa mas e bom.. olha podias me adicionar no facebook pra nao encher o video de comments

  • Mark says it all in this tune.

  • Mark Knopfler reminds me of Scotland. I felt in love with this place and, now, with his music. Supreme.

  • Comment removed

  • anyone know what kind of guitar he is playing here? Kay, Teisco,

  • @teleevangelist it's a Danelectro Dead On '67

  • What a fantastic song by a fantastic artist.

  • My boyfriend took me to see MK two years ago in Syracuse, New York. Im 23 now and Knopfler's been my favorite musician since I was about 10 and first discovered him through my father. Im not going to lie. I had to hold back tears when I saw him standing in front of me live. Nobodys ever struck me with their music like MK. Hes a modern Beethoven. Not only a great guitarist, songwriter, but also a masterful composer. Brilliant man.

  • I just saw him in Milan... and i must absolutely say that he's one of the greatest artists that i've ever seen, with the best musicians that i've never seen...

  • WTF is this song about? lyrics don't make much sense solos are awesome though

  • @fattirevsbud McDonald's, specifically, Ray Kroc.

  • Is that a Baritone guitar Mark is playing?

  • Gods.... this song is so awesome. It's like the spirit of Rock & Roll distilled into one amazing song.

  • badd ass tune, haven't listened to this in about 3 months, so I'm back, lol

  • Best Ever!

  • In this performance, when Mark begins a solo, he always looks like just a grandpa showing off a guitar to his grandchildren.. except of course the solos are awesome.

  • hoertjuuuuuuuuuh

  • @jaawzd dus....

  • This song really makes sense.

  • why do people feel the need to say what age they are on music videos??? who cares? 

  • @pplpilot Yes, I know, and it's usually "I'm only (insert teen/tween age here)" - like they're jail baiting. You never see "I'm only 85, and my grandmother knows Mark's father's phlebotomist."

  • @greenwich1754 I never posted my age, but I know why people my age do. We're growing up in a time where most people our age listen to useless music thats constantly played everywhere, so we feel kind of proud and privelaged to listen to this music, it also lets older people know that not everyone our age listen to the usual crap :)

  • @pplpilot I kind of like to hear younger people appreciate the true guitar masters like Gilmore and Knopfler. Gives me a little hope that they'll be appreciated long after old farts like me are long gone.

  • I love that he'll actually write a song about how McDonald's came to be

    he really is one music's greatest storytellers

  • Comment removed

  • Listen to the song!

  • i have to admit when i was younger i was never a fan of dire straits,apart from some songs on brothers in arms,now im 43 and as you get older your likes tend to change,i love marks solo albums,my 2 fav tracks are boom like that/piper to the end,love the emotion you can here when he plays guitar and the way he kind of mumbles through the words while singing,also seen him in concert,CLASS,last few months into rodney crowell,earthbound,fate's right hand,time to go inward,many a long and lonesome h

  • EVERY SINGLE SONG HE DOES IS JUST FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @SGF08Y AGREED!

  • my only dislike is the uploader's stupid watermark, ease off on it dude and you will get more views :)

  • @ToBeDestroyedGFX /this is a mosrite guitar, with lipstick tube single coil pickups

  • This song is in the key of c?

  • what kind of guitar is this ???

  • @grapeman56 /hiya grape, this is a mosrite, with lipstick tube singlecoil pickups

  • @grapeman56 I think its a fender jaguar

  • Damn! This is killing!

  • the best only^^

  • @ToBeDestroyedGFX I'm pretty sure that's a danelectro.

  • @yopuck /nah, it's a mosrite guitar

  • great recording

  • no one gives a shit about the stupid rock and roll hall of fame. Mark Knopfler is way bigger than that place

  • @IskyW 'sorta screwing' aint quite square

    no admirer of ray kroc me but it was an arm's length deal

    the mc bros cashed out thinking they'd taken kroc

    it wasnt cut throat just hard core on both sides

    biz pards /= personal buds

    a helluva story knopfler's genius turned into a great great tune

    'competiton send 'em south

    if they wanna drown

    put a hose in their mouth'

    well i guess that's one way of doin' business

  • Mark Knopfler

    A genious of all time music!

    Thumbs up if you agree!

  • vote for knopfler in rock and roll hall of fame!

  • I agree. Thats really amazing :)

  • Wow. This guy knows how to play the guitar.

  • Always loved his music. Dire Straits

  • Mark Your The Best<3<3<3

    Love your WONDERFUL TOUCH<3

  • is that a harmony guitar???

  • @rezlaa Gibson Firebird i think

  • @buskerudman danelectric no?

  • @EvelcyclopS I have no idea ! Just a pure guess :)

  • @EvelcyclopS Im pretty sure it's a 1967 Danelectro Hornet. Recently reissued as a "Danelectro 67 Dead On"

  • @retroreverb /Mosrite guitar

  • gawd I so love this tune/wynn

  • says a lot about some people when all they can do is bitch about a watermark.

    You are in the presence of greatness...shut up and LISTEN !!

  • If you want to hear a great live version, which is better than the studio version, down load "piper to the end" from Lucca. It is a masterpiece of musical talent, poignant lyrics and as usual a great outro.

  • how can anyone not like this. great audio quality, decent video and the excellent song and most of fucking all, its marky....

  • IMMENSO!

  • cool cool cool....guitar string is a boob

  • love this song, fuckin rocks major/wynn

  • Farco is a fag. Get your narcissistic props some other way.

  • Better live than on the album, dang he's good.

  • @simplethunder i thought the same thing!

  • Couldnt find a BETTER EXPLANATION THEN DIGMARK49

    Mark is the KING

  • Do you have Money For Nothing from this show?

  • @cosworth89 if you wanna hear the studio version then stay home and listen to the CD. we dont want you at the concerts if you arent gonna appreciated the live version of the songs.

  • Are you serius cosworth? where's the art in playing the same song the same way more then once in a life time? why on earth would they play it like the studio version?

  • fuc* u farco

    

  • @ipodmick hahahahah

  • If there should be a watermark, it should've been "MARK".

    I don't even know why you would do it. Who the fuck knows who you are.

  • A very cool song of Mark, in which he describes

    the sucesshistory of ray kroc,

    who led McDonalds in the 60s to a very successful franchise-concern!

    Mark Knopfler is in my opinion a living myth

  • I'll bet Kroc himself would be touched to hear that someone recorded a song in his honour. Great song!

  • @Seattlecarnut: in his honour? I understood it's pretty ironic...

  • @MartaEzis Ironic? How so?

  • @Seattlecarnut

    Knofler read Krocs autobiography "Grinding it out" and was apalled of his greed and cynicism. Most of the passages in the song are derived directly from the book. I read the book and Kroc is indeed worthy of the criticism, though I doubt he'd be anything less than indifferent to it - so you can probably say he'd be honored in a way. The business of business isn't about morale, not when Kroc was around anyway.

  • @mojones79 Ok, so maybe it's not in honour of Kroc.

  • @Seattlecarnut: I'm not a native speaker so I'm not sure whether I've used the right word... I meant something like "sarcastic". Agree with mojones 79 - phrases like "sometimes you gotta be an SOB if you wanna make a dream reality" say it all. Kroc came from the same country as me, his surname is pronounced [Krotz] here (with short o) and he's the one "famous" Czech I'm not proud of. I hope we made it up to the world by producing Otto Wichterle, the inventor of contact lenses and a good person.

  • Is that John Illsley on bass from the original line-up?

  • Fuck you, 6 people that clicked on the wrong button.

  • exactly  x-(

  • Mark, you are a realy guitar hero¡¡¡. Come back to ARGENTINA, We are wheting....

  • Mark, same very guitar heroe. Aguante¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • Comment removed

  • for some reason it makes me sad to see him as an old man...its just, growing up i thought he was just blessed by god or sommin xD like he was gonna stay at that age forever :(

    when the dreaded time comes and he hangs up his coat i wont speak to anyone for weeks. hes to good to die :'(

  • Hey dude, Great music vids. I am a rag picker myself. Knopfler is the best and I play alot of his tunes, However, I need to download a mp3 of telegraph road. can't find it at amazon. Can you send it to me? Much appreciated. Guitarldk,

    kingremodeling@yahoo.com

  • I am going to see him tonight in the HeinekenMusicHall yeaaa

  • Comment removed

  • not his greatest fan but this is an awsome tune!

  • what kind of guitar is that?

  • It looks like a Fender Jaguar. Cool pickups.Clean tone.

  • It's a danelectro hornet

  • Mark can do no wrong - a Leonardo da Vinci of music !

  • You can be good you can be god, you can even so do wrong, but as you say Mark Knopfler is a Leonardo da Vinci in music!

  • @digmark49 Yes he is. I've been playing for 18 years and I play with his style but slightly modified.

  • @digmark49 In the beginning he says "This is a song about fast food". I ques he really can do no wrong. Great song.

  • @derekwood83 If you didn't know Ray Kroc was the guy who took McDonalds big time... sorta screwing the brothers that started the template in the process

  • Comment removed

  • He is a GOD on guitar Mark Knopfler!! Almost every song on the album Dire straits is REALLY nice and his "greatest hits" named sultans of swing !!

  • he's not hating, he's just so pro that he makes everything look so laid back

  • KilledbiDeat??...He looks like he is "hating" what he is doing? Huh? Maybe after a steady diet of pseudo mach posers, chronically wasted guitar wannabees with their rehearsed stage moves. Knopfler is more about the essence and feel of the actual SONG lyrics, phrasing tone feel. He stands and delievers powerful music , without contriving something that distracts from the SONG

  • Lol of course he loves what he does he is only "cool" :P

  • Such a guitar hero!

    His music is like thunder and his guitar is like a lightning conductor!

  • Very good audio.

  • Fuc* that watermark.
