where is 480p?

[liftedcj7on44s]

This should be an album version!

[liftedcj7on44s]

4:14 ish or so. You can see where Mark "Broke the rules" pay attention at the end of that little lick and you can see Mark play the bottom strings with his thumb and the top strings with his index finger. Extremely hard.

[IhaveaPhDinTV]

bloody great

[jhffmn1]

NOBODY does it like Mark Knopfler... God with a guitar in his hands

[Kirzolitro]

@jhffmn1 No. God can't do that :D.

[danyboffe]

does he remains in B during the solo?

[liftedcj7on44s]

@danyboffe No, He remains in Epic the whole song.

[RedBearTrading]

Superb!

[liftedcj7on44s]

Seems like Mark is using a lot of chorus effect, Wonder if he is using the Roland Jazz Chorus on this song.

[5B4Funky]

Still my favorite opening sequence to any album ever.

[liftedcj7on44s]

@5B4Funky I agree, The opening to this song is great. I get goose bumps and chills when he starts playing.

[potohoha1]

i must admit one of the legends rite hea

[LegZoff]

Awesome!

[MrHerenzeventien]

Ah sweet memories. One of my first albums purchased from pocket money.

In my opinion the best song of their debut album. Look how young and enthusiastic they were and bloody talented also.

Thanks for the upload DogSwede. Much appreciated.

Dogswede1, No stadium show they've ever done can compare to this incredible intimate personal concert at Rockpalast!!! Thanks so much for uploading them!!

[manurewa59]

was the line in sultans guitar george he knows all the chords mind you hes strictly rythym he dont wanna make it cry or sing about david knopfler ..just wondrin ..the rythm guitar is sweet in d.s. songs

[blindriv3r]

@manurewa59 dont think so, the Sultans was a band w/horns, etc, so not necessarily a reference to Dire Straits, just a band out of favor with the popular culture at the time

[chazenlindo]

[benmols]

Is this on DVD?

[Pablopa999]

@benmols yes

[katoness]

Love their first album. Guitar work and lyrics on it are superb. After that I'm not to sure.

[reouaich]

@katoness you can't say less about their second one. It's less rocknroll but it has more mood, more team sprit for me.

[neme377]

GRAZIE 10000000

[kyopsis]

I think it's my favourite!!!

[mrpitsmoor]

Dire Straits in Hd

can life get any better?

thank you so much dogswede, these HD vids are the best!

[alexanderyordanov]

@beseeingyou6 Actually YES - If God decide to bring back this time and put all of us there!

[DogSwede1]

I'm gonna reupload this concert in HD now. Hope you'll like it.

[xoxs0608]

@DogSwede1 technically nothing that was recorded in 79 could ever be HD, but this is still frickin sweet. Tack så mycket ;)

[DogSwede1]

@xoxs0608 - Ofc, but by YouTube's meaning. ;)

[stevicusmaximus]

@xoxs0608 Film has always been HD. It is only the transfer to digital that reduces quality.

I'm not saying this is recorded on film. I am only saying that your statement is bullshit :).

[xoxs0608]

@stevicusmaximus well... the quality of videos recorded in the 70-80's, apart from silver screen movies, was basically so shitty that even though of course they don't technically 'have' a resolution, they don't live up to what people expect when they see "HD".

Technically you're right, but also - a nitpicker :P
