  • What the heck? This isn't live...only the video is. How come?

  • fantastic!

  • Can you say Lip-synch? The audio is from the album. Good video non the less.

  • @ninehorsejohnson I don't think they performed like that, I think the guy who uploaded the video did that.

  • One of my favorite songs, and such a beautiful live performance. Thank you very much for sharing!

  • One of the best tunes by one of the best bands. Mark is killer!

  • Ine of the best tunes by one of the best bands. Mark is killer!

  • How did they mix it so the acoustic is in the left? This sounds like the studio version overlayed on the video.

  • I love the sheer joy between Mark & David - what could have been if these two brothers could have got along during the Making Movies session...oh well...we still have Dire Straits & Communique - 2 of the greatest albums ever! Thanks for posting this incredible video!

  • " Here's Mannndy for ya..." I still smile when he says that. ;)

  • This song is about London I understand, but, I listened to it in Jamaica and it fit like a glove....

  • Best guitar ever.

  • I LOVE IT! THANX SO MUCH FOR POSTING! I can only hope and pray to one day play in a band so tight.

  • OMG...thank you....I LOVE this song !

  • just smoked my joint and heard this song 20 times straight..

  • On the surface is might not be: but dig deeper and this song and performance is poetic, intensely musical and awkwardly personal - therefore, I love it.

  • I would love to have a karaoke version of this song. It's too cool for school. Get down dirty blues.

  • Pink toe nails and hands all dirty with the money...  ;)

  • NICE!

  • Mark Knopfler is pure genious!! been to London's wild west end before-named appropriately!

  • Timeless......what else can you say....

  • DogSwede1, do you know which show is that? Where and when are they playing?

    Thank you very much for uploading the very best version of this song I've ever heard!

  • It's the studio version. They are lip synqing. Listen to the album and you'll see. Also you can see his movements don't match some of his rifs.

  • Makes me want to melt......

  • This is the best version of this song! Awesome!

  • Sensualité à fleur de peau !!!!!!!!! pas de videos de 1976 svp?

    Merci.

  • Thanks for posting this video, this is my all time favourite tune. To anyone else viewing this, check out Mark Knopfler's c.d.  " Kill To Get Crimsom " it is also very addictive! H.P.H.

  • I just recently bought their first album on CD. It's still great.

  • I love this song

  • Me neither,, =)

  • Thx for posting DogSwede. Great song. Big ups to Mark Knofler and Dire Straits too.

  • Mark continually creates original & authentic sounds with his music that simply blow you away, SO UNIQUE. Wild West End is another clear demonstration from all those years ago, great song. NOTHING else like it, one very special talent. Loved his music then, die for it now !

  • Best track of their best album. Thanx!

  • Long ago... heard this on the radio and was hooked on Dire Straits music. Thank you!

  • Knopfler is able to create the atmosphere of his songs, lyrically and musically better than any musician alive. What remarkable skill he has. Thank you for posting this. Excellent.

  • Greatest straits song ever

    I love the vocals at the feeling it gives you

  • Knopfler is one of the coolest cats to ever walk the earth.

  • My favourite Dire Straits song, love the chilled out feeling it gives ya. Knopflers technique is so unique!

  • walk in the wild west end make me relaxed

    magic guitar, charming voices

  • Da geht einem Dire Straits Fan doch das Herz auf. Knopfie ist halt doch der Beste

  • Great tune!

  • love the lead on this.

  • Thanks Muchacho: My favourite tune, Knopfler is the greatest talent of our time. A must see live in concert, sure hope he comes back to Toronto. H.P.H. ( Health, Prosperity and Happiness )

  • Interesting to see David using the same sticky out right thumb technique that his brother does.

  • He is so cute ;) <3 Still best guitarist ever.

  • Shouldn't David's guitar be a dobro?... W playback! LOL... I know, i know, this is a promo video...

    DIRE STRAITS FOREVER!

  • Yeah, it's fun to see him play acoustic on his Telecaster. ;) It's also some other stuff where you can hear Mark make noises and play but it isn't visible. :-)

  • As always Mark singing and playing very beautiful.
