  • great videos. amazing sound. but GET RID OF THE WATERMARK!!! VERY ANNOYING!!

  • Amazing, great, speechless!!!

  • 14 gingers disliked this!!

  • Knopfler is God. Nothing else to say.

  • Check out daddy on the drums! I just watched this 5 times.

  • 13 dislike??? those are defo deaf

  • AMAZING AUDIO - SHITTY LOGO

  • No one is in his league!!! Thanks Mark.

  • MK, like Jeff Beck or David Gilmour are basically Stratocaster masters and I don't know why but they all sound even greater on Les Paul!

  • A long time ago, my father was a real fan of Mark. He was always listening to Dire Straits. So much that I didn't like it.

    Since I heard Calling Elvis live, and Speedway At Nazareth, I started playing guitar. Now Mark is my guitar hero and it will never change.

    And my father told me recently that I'm listening too often to mark... Thank you dad.

  • FARCO must be a clever money and rights man on Knopfler video ,otherwise he'd have been sewed for long by the right-owners! Or am I wrong here?

  • @kjallesoft ..its so simple. Generate money, by making money for MK, by just a simple advertise on your video if the video is right and has the quality and mainly viewers ..Hey isn't this why Youtube was made to share music, and mainly BOUGHT, so it can still generate money. Everybody happy. :)

  • Nice recording, thanks. But your watermark on what is dubiously deserving of such is a twofold nuisance.

  • AMAZING WATERMARK!!!

  • One of the greatest yet under-rated guitarists of all time....

  • @praetorianburner

    he isn't underrated for real guitarplayers...!

    many people they want to learn and understand guitar playing hear Mister Knopfler...

  • @praetorianburner Mark isn't underrated, he's just not that widely-known these days. Anyone who hears him play will have to say that he's one hell of an artist. :)

  • Comment removed

  • This is probably the audio from a bootleg of the concert that's floating around on the internet. At least I think it's a bootleg, as I see no mention of an official CD of the concert.

    It's a bit dishonest of the uploader to not mention it, but it's definitely preferable over the crappy audio a camera/mobile phone would give.

  • fuckin genius

  • MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

  • I started classical guitar when I was 11 years old. At 13, I bought a Dire Straits album, and knew this was the way I wanted to play! 34 years later, I have most of Knopflers' recordings, and have seen him several times. He has NEVER over-dubbed. I CLEARLY SEE him let the guitar resonate in a power-chord while he wipes his mouth at 0:57, I see him vary his right-hand technique through the solo, see his superb left-hand vibrato, all in sync. Nothing funny going on here, just EPIC playing.

  • Its clearly different audio played over the clip. If it wasn't for the fact that Mark Knopfler is playing this there would be thousands of FAKE comments or "the audio is out of synch" ones. Its clear it is a different audio track.

    Just watch him play. It is obvious.

  • some of the best drumming ie seen. hes so laid back!

    Mr. Knopfler in glasses. ive not seen that before!

    whos are the 13 dislikes? obviously not music fans

    Finally WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE! its awesome!

  • some of the best drumming ie seen. hes so laid back!

  • @ace69er: argue all you want...the audio you hear IS NO DOUBT from the concert played in the video. who gives a dang if it was patched onto the video! may not be the greatest overlay but it DOES MATCH.

  • Sååå djävla bra helt enkelt.

  • This clip is a GYP! Audio dubbed over the top!

  • @ace69er never in a million years

  • @501fender What do you mean? This isnt the original audio!

  • @ace69er Are you a musician? if so please concentrate on the way MK plays the guitar and the drummer and you will see that this is not Audio Dubbed at all. Please believe me as I can say from experience, that I know that this is not dubbed without a doubt??

  • @501fender I am! I am also a sound and recording tecnician! NO camera can record sound THAT good internally. Were external mics used or a desk feed? Otherwise it had to dubbed later. Sorry I have done these thing too mate. And the sound quality does NOT match up to the videos circumstances.

  • 1:50 ! fucks his guitar (no mark knopfler)

  • Maestro.

  • Magic...It makes you feel it...Soooo good Mark !!

  • Incredible, such virtouosa. After all these years. Bravo Mark! You are so good. Hope to hear from you! Plenty more, please.

    best/Ton

  • Amazing audio thumbs up

  • so clean!!!

  • knopfler's secret is in oiling his chords 0:58

  • Great video from one of the greatest axemen of all time but why the distracting watermark? Really Mark deserves better!

  • This FARCO can't be the legal owner of this performance.

    Like in the song ,where you get cheated, robbed and stolen , driven in the dirt ,

    with broken down car along a lost road in the black of the night...

    Farco ,seems to even make a fatal mistake ...on the speedway to Nazareth!

  • If you're gonna use a watermark, that's ok. Just get a name that isn't gay.

  • here here

  • SO many nore should have seen this video! Amazing guitar-play!! :-))

  • Farco id fkn strangle you for spoiling this vid with your SHIT WATERMARK....i know you posted it COS YOUR NAMES ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE FKN SCREEN U TOSSER..........GET IT FKN SHIFTED

  • I have a man crush on Mark Knopfler.

  • awww!! Wonderful! I got no live version of this! Sorry it's not a full version!!

  • is it still a watermark when it is done by a computer?lol

  • why the watermark?

  • Much of the electronic music today seems cold and sterile....this is visceral, powerful, and emotional........

  • Marki! znów podcierasz nosa, jak za dawnych czasów :) mystic guitrar MK

  • As ever, incredibly distinctive guitar, from the guy who has given me the soundtrack to my life. The reason I have enjoyed my 33 years of playing (so far) - though I am not fit to carry his case. Thanks for the upload, but that bloody "FARCO" water-mark made me feel sick. What do you have to do with this clip anyway?

  • This is beautiful. Listened to "speedway" from "Sailing to Philadelphia" tonight on the way home. It always makes me feel like $14,000,000. I love Mark.

  • Please get Knopfler and Chris Rea Rea together to do a special gig before its too late....they have never collaborated together but can you imagine the two playing some of their selected work.. Bring it on !!!!!!!!

  • @romanscrolls exactly my thought... i always wondered why they have never played together cos they have the same emotional guitar style

  • a fantastic solo!!!

  • Hilarious

  • Hilarious

  • and Monster Drums!

  • @jmichael103

    the drummer is the former drummer of dire straits. the know each other since ever!!

  • @jmichael103

    the guy at the drums is the former drummer of dire starits. they are pals since ever!

  • @juanreybabe He's not exactly former drummer but more former percussionist (on "On Every Street") and became drummer for MK in alternate mode with Chad Cromwell in early days, then took over.

  • His guitar is like catnip for humans!!!!!

  • <3 not more to say

  • wow

    

  • This guy keeps amazing me... Seriously. I've listened to my father's CDs of Mark when I was like... 5 years old and I still can't get enough of it.

  • Mark is such an awesome writer......

  • I keep looking for this live on DVD, I can't find it. Does it exist?

  • That "FARCO" over the video is fucking annoying, please don't put them over top anymore, really annoying

  • seen this brilliant artist at The Bowl Of Brooklands in New Plymouth, New Zealand, AMAZING SHOW!!! did lots of Dire Straits too :^D

  • farco is stupid

  • guitar playing at it's finest !

  • Yeah, what's with the fucking watermark? You think you own this video?

  • Comment peut-il jouer quelque chose de si merveilleux tout en faisant une tête de quelqu'un qui attend son train un jour de grève SNCF ??

  • Gotta lose the watermark man.

  • farco777: Keep posting these "AMAZING AUDIO!" vids!

  • farco777: you put anything you want over the vids as long as you keep posting these "AMAZING AUDIO!" videos!

  • A Man's rock n roll.... very rare in today's world.....

  • As much as Knopfler's guitar makes me cry, how good is the drummer????

  • TRULY AMAZING....

  • knopfler is on tour!!

    look at his website and get tickets!

  • YEP! Thanks for the MUSIC!!!! Greetings from Hannover/ Germany

  • So amazing. He's one of the few guitarists who actually play a real 59 Les Paul live because they're worth so much money, but the sound is faultless. Obviously the best fingers as well.

  • Amazing Audio!!!

  • Mark the best!!

  • this tune is a true challenge for a drummer !! MK style at the beginning of the solo is awesome !

  • WATCH & LEARN JUNIOR

    Dont often open up this floor

    Since I handed in my gun

    What all these keys are for

    Now that my tour of dutys done

    Youve got to know the switches

    Now you've got your turn

    Watch and learn, Junior

    Watch and learn

    The greatest guitarist of all-time. A "Master" at work.

  • thats dont crash the ambulance.

  • 2:25 il a l'air de s'éclater comme un petit fou le Knopfler

  • @nougat8311

    c'est sûr qu'on va pas voir le Knopfler pour son sourire ravageur (encore que, quand il sourit, je le trouve charmant moi !) et ses blagues, mais bon, c'est quand même un "génie" de la guitare et en plus, il a toujours été comme ça, même du temps de Dire Straits, il était pas du genre foufou sur scène, mais je suppose qu'il aime ça, sinon, il ne ferait pas des tournées de 4 - 5 mois !

  • I remember that - I was feeling those drum beats right through my chair! AMAZING NIGHT... thanks for posting. I filmed it but it was from a side angle. That was a GOOD GIG for sure

  • I wish I was there..

  • YES MARK THATS A STRONG DRINK I MEan right my man hey\!

  • Two whiskey vodka mixed Glasses ;-)

  • THE GUY IS GOD

  • i think abel was using the word sick as good,,,, he is saying the drummer is really good (sick) lol

  • MK rocks this of course.

    But his drummer is pretty sick too in this song..

  • The song turns so fucking good when he stops singing and just plays. (no offence to his singing, it's just when I feel the song turns so great)

    I wish there was guitar pro tabs for this song, but I can't find any.

  • I have the tab book for the whole album, and even in the tab book there is no tab for the ending solo. Just the first 25 seconds or so. The whole song is just in C maj so just solo around in the key.

  • Love watching how in command he is of all of it, without making it about himself.

  • Still amazes me how he goes from chords to riffs to blazin' lead runs, so smooth, so well composed. Cool to see someone let their music do the talking instead of mere guitar hero antics.

  • Ohh... love it, go Ned Flanders...

  • outstanding...

  • weird someone would mess a good movie up with his selfish watermark.. prolly still a kid

  • That's just sublime...

  • Superbe

  • yes Farco you tit!

  • Absolutely pointless to put these vids up with FARCO emblazoned across the screen. You hear me there sweet tits?

  • fargo=fart go

  • Here you are again, your egotistic habit of placing that word on the screen spoils an otherwise WONDERFUL INTENTION, that of sharing this excellent video. Thank`s for posting it anyway in the future I`ll listen to your videos with my eyes closed.

  • The watermark prevents anyone without the legal rights to the video from exploiting it. The poster did indeed share the video by placing it here on YouTube. He also protected the interests of all of those whose hard work and talent went into creating the product, without whom there would be no video for you to watch and enjoy, by rendering it useless to pirates.

    Stealing and Sharing are NOT synonymous. If you think otherwise, leave your car keys in, in case anyone wants to SHARE your ride!

  • If you think of it that way...then you`re right. Anyway I wasn`t thinking of anybody stealing anything, there are plenty great videos on youtube and we all get connected to watch and really ENJOY them, we don`t need to be reminded of the owner all the way .

  • The only thing the watermark prevents is someone enjoying the vid of a truly one of a kind artist. The people who want to exploit unfortunately will exploit. It truly ruins the integrity of the song and vid. Why post?

  • Because maybe he recorded it and doesn't want other people claiming it as theirs?

    I can still see everything and the sound is great. Stop bitching and live with what you great. Don't complain about people's videos. It's their videos, not yours.

  • There are other ways to "claim the vid as yours" that are less intrusive to the video. seems kinda selfish and self-promoting the way this is done. I have the right to bitch about this vid just as you have the right to defend it!

  • He filmed this and doesn't have to upload it. He could just enjoy it on his computer, but no. He uploaded it for Youtube to share with a watermark. It's not too intrusive anyways, it's transparent. Just deal with what you get.

  • if you enjoy this piece of art any less when you close your eyes and render that "offensive watermark" invisible, I think you've quite missed the point.

  • I enjoy the audio very much, but I dont believe that is why we all are on utube, which is very much the point!

  • Amazing

  • yes lucky mark im  a lefty but not much on guitar more a bass plus singer

  • Thanks for this. Gives me goosebumps, especially 1.42 onwards. Really like the drumming too. Excellent audio!

  • Danny Cummings (the drummer) had only played 10-15 shows before this show. He stepped in for Chad Cromwell, who had to go home to USA. (For a reason that has been kept secret for a long time)

  • No secret at all.  He went to record with Neil Young at that time.

  • Thanks for posting. Mark also played this great tune at the last show I went to. It's great stuff.

    Your video collection of Mark in Concert is quite impressive. Thanks a lot for Posting.

    Btw. I was never really sure about what watermarks are or exactly what they look like.

    But your videos helped me a lot. Thanks.

    Now I only need to figure out the meaning of the word: Discreet. Any ideas? - Have Fun in The Sun.  Cheers.

  • farco

    thank yo for uploading

    fuck yo for the watermark...

  • @habbobaby1 fuck u motherfucker.... mark is the bext

  • How come only partial songs? I'm all for the solos, but I'd rather hear the whole song.

  • beginning of song bit slow- this is defo best bit of song, so prob y its been cut out!

  • Looooool

  • more of mark less of farco in the middle of the freaking screen

  • Mark is one incredible guy. Thanks for the video.

  • godfather of guitar

  • UUUHHHH... gives me the goosebumps!!!

  • the master him self one of the best guitarist of the world sir knopfler damm i hope that mark make soon a new zd and make a toer again:-)

  • AMAZING !!!!

    This is one of Mark's best. Terrific live performance

  • ¡Grande!

  • great KNOPFLER.The best what man can get!

    his whole production is like the treasure!

    good very good!

  • i love the way he changes the end solo alittle bit on early live performance, I been to loads of MK tours and its always something new to enjoy! MK is great!

  • i want a full album version of this on youtube! :D

  • writing left handed and play guitar with the right is no big deal. i'm left handed writing, but i'm right handed playing guitar. it's "normal", there's no advantages lol. i love MK. to me, he's THE best. i began learning guitar with no lessons, on my one, because of him. but now i have a problem, i'm so used to play and do solos by fingerpicking, and i don't like picks to play, but there's things you can't do with your hands, and you need a pick, but it's so much better feeling with your finger.

  • lol. you can play more without a flatpick. use a thumb pick or no pick. mark is one thing, but he says in the shangrila album that half the stuff chet atkins know to play,i could never play. chet used a thumb or none. you can use a thumb pick fast on strings just as a flat pick. flat pick is like paiting ur house with a toothbrush compare. with a flat pick you dont have the mobility with your thumb and pinky finger anymore. its busy with that flat pick.lol. just study mark and spes chet

  • You should check out Gurrumul Yunupingu. He's blind, plays a right hand strung guitar, left handed. That means the bass strings are at the bottom of the fret board.

    Forget that though, his voice is subliminal.

  • para mi el mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos

  • Shit! He does the anchor thing like Tommy Emmanuel and Bruce Cockburn, but he uses the ring AND pinkie fingers, and just picks with the thumb, index and middle. Well, you gotta anchor somewhere. I gotta see him live!

  • he is coming to my city in july yay

  • Go Friend go....MK is the Master !

  • Well, he's not the flashiest lead player, but his tone is AWESOME, and his songwriting is BEYOND CLASSIC, and--just noticed this last night--he's left handed! (Or ambidextrous. Check out the video of WHAT IT IS NOW: he's writing with his left). Cockburn's a lefty, too. and they both play right-handed.  Advantage? Survey says yes.

  • its not because youre writing with the right hand that you'll play with a left handed guitar, when you beginn playing guitar you'll begin at 0 and you don't have any advantage with the right or left hand

  • But it's the point which hand is trained. If you'r right.. you can play better right

  • trained in what?

    ive a friend who is writing with left and he learned play guitar with right hand he said that at the beginning there was no difference between the two hands

  • If you write with right you can pick faster and better with right. Because your hand is more trained in general alllready

  • Knopfler once said that he can handle the bends better because he's left handed, or something like that. Nothing do to with anything, but just for fun. =)

  • Come to Norway Marky!

  • Don't listen to these people complaining about your watermark. I don't see any of them posting anything near the quality stuff you've got.

    The audio is perfect, and the camerwork is great for being in a concert crowd.

    A+ dude.

    Keep 'em coming.

  • I added this to my favourites only because it is a really amazing performance; it was spoiled by your name appearing in such huge letters. It could have been more tastefully placed discretely at a corner or at the bottom.

  • what a sound!

  • Saw him at Manchester this year, best guitarist of all time. Was close to tears at the end. What more can I say

  • i saw him in manchester too- always has me close to tears too- what a guy!!!

  • I wish badly be there

  • Take your name off from the screen!

  • a class of it's own!

  • amazing, divine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • farco, I'm going to avoid all your videos if you continue to put your name across the screen like that

  • Get your Fu**ing name off the screen.

  • You cannot debate on this subject, Mark Knopfler is obviously the best musician on earth, the most polyvalent...

    Love U MARK!!

  • take your stupid name off it!

  • D
