[beauty8116]

Petty, Bruce, Dire Straights, Great time in music.

[Foscoify]

I don't know why the different uploads of this song has so few views. This is one of their greatest songs. Just rocks out non stop. What else do you want people?

[GeorgeTel100]

@Foscoify I could NOT agree with you More!!!

4:45

I do not want to shoot her in the head,

Thank you very very much.

Somebody should make a misheard lyrics video for this song.

[Tyleriscoolx2]

Thirty years ago, damn, I'm not even 2/3 of that old.

[Tyleriscoolx2]

Thumbs up if you heard this song at McDonald's.

[psychotichealth11]

I love homemade coffee, but my machine lay dormant until coffeeloverstipsandtricks (.) com plugged me in!

[Kutten1986]

[11karalis]

@eduardobcn30 ah ah you damn right!!!!!

[Bustio82]

[ooff]

outro sounds better then the original private in my opionion but then again I might be biased because I like this group better....

[TheMKPolice]

6 people have no musical taste !!

[IngmaleX]

Love it!

[Jgh013]

Totally private investigations :p

[b00nz00]

@parv81

tnx :)

[WEITESTAL]

love it, especially that organ setting in at 1:07

[maxbuddy41]

Fascinating version of the Straits' greatest rock song, the outro is great, I suppose a preview of Private Investigations.

"I surrender to the fever, I surrender to the will of the night" still love that line.

[silvihop9]

(LLLLLLLLLLL)

[ANATOL1321]

LOVE Dire Straits !!!!

very very nice

[LucZamTor]

omg the outro...

a mix between once upon a time in the west, down to the waterline, the man's too strong and private investigation...

really nice

[afficionado2004]

In the top five of Dire Straits!

[serkanayhan81]

---dire straits story---

tunnel of love-down to waterline-news-  private investigations-

[Utkas]

the outro is a part of private investigtion

[ELSEwok]

Yeah, not a bad mix after all, eh?

[elguayabero74]

cafe cafe cafe pro loro tomaaar!!!!!

[delta30024]

One of the all time great guitar STYLES, different than anyone else.

[troides547376]

One of the greatest rock groups in history. Dire Straits lives forever. Knopfler is already a legendary composer and songwriter. Expresso love is another excellent song among many.

[frank6717]

erase one of

[domynap989]

rigth i'm concording with you.. Dire Straits lives forever.. AWESOME..

[19Beteigeuze84]

Legend!

[createyourownreece]

dude that is a good song good copy i love the song the band and mk but WHAT THE HELL did you do to the end and the outro none of them fit.!!

[wabbeldiwampi]

Great to watch, but however I am sure this is not

the original order: it is cut together. The outro of

the first version of PI was connected to "News" which can be recognized at the drum part from 7:03 on. And between that there is the opening riff from Down to the waterline. So all mixed up here.

[perfunctoryyy]

Rock on Boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beseeingyou6]

lol, that guy around 0:28 !

[mangabassman2]

Hang On!

Private Investigations before it was even recorded! wow!

[mangabassman2]

Perfect!

Great song!

Great band!

Long live the greatness that is dIRE sTRAITS!

Making Movies!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Knopfler ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[felsner1]

Wow - rare to see him so exalted!

[beseeingyou6]

i know

its refreshing

[jlalewicz]

@felsner1 It's cause the tour is OVER! Knopfler isn't real 'fond' of touring. Dude likes to stay home!! :)

[sultainj11]

man that was so cool,and to have private investigations ending the song was just brilliant.best band of all time.

[saxdude135]

What a fun concert !! It was great to see Mark interacted with the audiences like this. Love all the earlier year concerts. Where can I get a copy of this concert and others. Love DS and MK for as long as I live and after..... They are the only band I listen to on a daily basis. And of course MK solos

[potschochta]

Marvellous!!!

[DAWNHILLS]

My most favourite DS song, hey maestro. She's says boys dont know anything...

[Flerondin]

Anyway, the song's great =) Mark and DS are the best, the way he interacts with the crowd is just great! That's the best about him.

Btw, are DS in the Rock 'n' roll hall of fame?

[MKfanCalif]

Flerondin, no neither Mark nor the sTAITS are in the R 'n' R HOF. But Madonna is, like she's really a rocker. Not sure who the idiots are, but they are idiots.

[Flerondin]

That's because people don't know what is good music... Oh well, Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler definitely are in MY Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[MKfanCalif]

Flerondin, I noticed that when Mark was doing this gig, you were just being born. Amazing, my friend! How did you get turned onto the Straits and Mark? Mark found some great talent to be with him on stage during the Straits years. I am so glad he still tours. Did you go see him live? I am going to see him two times in about 2-1/2 weeks, one indoor venue, one outdoor venue. Can't wait!

[Flerondin]

Well, It is hard to avoid good music... I heard Walk of Life, Sultans of Swing and So Far Away few times on a radio, and those songs are songs from my childhood. After that I came upon more Dire Straits songs, and I liked them all. And after that I came upon Mark's solo albums. And I liked them too. And yes, I was on his concert. It was last night, here in Croatia. I can tell you it was fabulous.

[MKfanCalif]

Flerondin, I've been following Mark's European leg of the tour, and when I saw you were from Croatia, I figured (or hoped) that you were at the gig. Describe the venue and the crowd. (Next tour I am going to take in some Euro gigs, so I have to figure out the best venues to go.) Did Mark have to say anything to the crowd about no filming like he has at other gigs? Was this your first time to see Mark? How close were you to the stage?

[Flerondin]

Well, he didn't say anything about filming, but there was a warning before the show started. He did talk to the crowd, a bit. For instance, he introduced the band and said something funny about the bass player. This is my first time seeing Mark live, and I was sitting in the 14th row. VIP parter.

[master244]

dude that is exactly how i started to like Dire Straits :D, It sucked when I found out they broke up a long time ago, but Knopfler is actually the reason why I play guitar nowadays :). The kill to get crimson tour was the first concert for me aswell and i loved every second. He was here in Holland in March

[fedefo88]

also in mine

[anonspitfire]

wtf! mark's playing with a pick! he never plays with a pick!

[Flerondin]

Umm... you play Expresso love with a pick... You can't play that song without it...

And Mark plays with pick sometimes... But he prefers fingerpicking.

[Compaqhater85]

I think the guitarist from dire strats(coverband) plays it without a pick really good... But you're right it's the best way for this song

[dapfler]

Only two Dire Straits´ songs are played with pick (I remember): Expresso Love and The man´s too strong

[Chefen92]

I think I recall seeing Markie fingerpick this song. However, I'm sure he would manage it without a pick, his technique with the right hand fingers is unique and totally mind-blowing.

[SPIKEL31A]

Hey maestro..and she said expressona...!

[aresbe]

MK and Dire Straits belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It's meaningless without them!!

[jetlamit]

no problems T42 :) ... i've said it's the best band a never heard :) ... i love DS ..all songs ...

I was born in 1972 ... i listen to DS on my first tape recorder (90 minutes Ferro BASF lol) ... at the same time i play with my first Electrique Train toys (sorry for my english)

[wildareel]

[piosta18]

If anything is Rock and Roll, THIS certainly is!

[Emibeth]

I JUST LOVE THIS MAN...DAMN, HE'S FUN!

[vitalogy]

why wasn't this a single? It's much better than Skateaway and Romeo & Juliet

[brianmale1]

wow in tha very begging mark asks everyone in tha back if they can hear and it sounds like they say no

[cabfranc1]

Awesome footage, looks like the band and knopfler are enjoying themselves-can see where love over gold album tickler fits in - bring it on!!

[pedrofranca72]

who cares about the pic...the hand is the same!!!Marky is the reason why I play guitar.I agree with you parv81 PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

[parv81]

To see hero of my life pissed like a boar. Pricless.

[ELMQUIST]

Mark Knopfler is awesome!

[lisanratero]

Marck knopler the best of the world

[beverbeverbever]

INDEEEEEEED!!!

[dtnurse]

mark said his music on the quitar is better without the pic

[artfuldodger87]

hmmm... Love Over Gold released in '82 so what're they doing playing part of Private Investigations the year before??

[B0zz3]

problaby beacuse the song already existed back then. When they played in Rotterdam 1978 they played "Once upon a time in the west" & "Ladywriter". Both tracks not officially realesed until 1979' years album "Communique"

[B0zz3]

Who the hell cares if he uses a pick or not, the band rocked and so does Knopfler

[handmadetr]

great song great man great music

all everything this

[SUNDANCE906]

this song only requires use of a pick for lead guitar, no finger picking req

[chris1hsieh]

actually it was tunnel of love intro in the start of the outro part..

[chris1hsieh]

i'm sorry.. heard wrong- there was no telegraph road in that one..

[chris1hsieh]

that outro has a tiny bit of telegraph road and once upon a time in the west, and the major part is private investigations.... no?

[freedomsoldier187]

yeah bro he's pissed as and using a pick, wtf ?

[leedsrule3]

omg is he using a pick?

[leedsrule3]

lmao i think he's pissed... i never seen him like that

[gtreric7]

The outro sounds a lot like Private Investigations

[tenbenoit]

Absolutely. You're right.

[deega03099]

omg u cabbage it obviously is

[makeminealettuce]

blatantly he's as totally pissed but still plays like he's ringing a bell

[rammers2006]

was that Pick Withers or Terry Williams on drums...no lights, hard to tell!!!! ANd the outro reminded me of Pink Floyd the Wall live, where at the end of disc 1 they reprised every song into about 2 mins!!! COol.. thanx!

[tenbenoit]

Pick Withers was on drums, Terry Williams join the group in 1982 on Knopfler's album "Local Hero".

[Way2Silly]

Pretty sure that's Pick, getting a little loose out front there as they get near the end of the show (Mark even says something to "Withers" as they begin the intro) so he eventually does head back to his drum kit, and you can immediately hear what a difference he makes.

[sirgerry]

Where can I get the full show? Anybody want a trade?

[Tinathread]

These pre-Brothers in Arms videos are the absolute best -- thanks for posting, it's awesome!

[rrrobert77]

this is fcking best song EVER!

solo guitar is pure essence of everything hehe

[dannybrown15]

is he drunk??

[upst8]

Great! Thanks for posting this.
