I love the 5 minute version compared to the overdrawn 10 minute version. Think about this ....how many 10 minutes songs do u play over and over again, not many. but the short tight and sweet ones you end up playing them over and over :) Just my preference :) no offense to anyone
YES!!! I´d like one year!!! anyone notis... the Fender with the black button? only that Fender provides that special Sultans sound... and now.. Fender manufactures one copy!!!! Mark Knopfler signature guitar... but WITHOUT the black button - QUE FUERTE!!! but... this is the best DS number EVER
Hey dude, thanks for posting this!! There's a great cover version of thisa song done by The Competition on youtube that I think you'll really like!!! It's in my favourites, really worth a listen!!
well... maybe, but i don't really see why you'ld like to sound "exactly" like anyone else, i'd rather try to put my own touch on it, that's the only way it becomes music and not just a technical exercise.
i've just learned that whole song fingerpicking. It takes a lotta patience, and of course you can't sound exactly like knopfler, but I'm pretty damn close :P
in my opinion, you can sound like knopfler but as you say, it takes a lot of patience and practice. and if it doesn't sounds like knopfler than maybe it's because of your guitar and your guitar-amplifier.
Well I lost count at 431 as your combined age. But there is no reason to put your ages down, any fool knows this is the best song ever. I heard it at 12 (does that make 443) and my life changed, sounds stupid but actually that is really the truth. Thanks Mark
I'm 21, I can't remember when I first heard this song but for as long as I can remember I've had an image in my head from a music video I saw; a guy in a blue shirt playing a red guitar! When I saw it again when I was 14 it was like finding home. There was something about that video, simple, just a band playing. It will always be my favourite song and video.
you are 16 and you listen to this..respect. please forgive my ignorance and idiocy.. i just did not know that teenagers listened to this kind of thing these days..ta
This is not live but rather lip - sync as Mark missed playing some mini solo's accordingly. I have this exact single in 45rpm when it first came out in late 1978 but I must admit I don't think I have seen this version played on video. Very very nice. I loved it. Thanks for posting luisanas.

Either its the recording quality or his chorus pedal but it sounds like hes out of tune most of the song. Great song though, one of my favorites.
