[SuperDundar]

Absolutely Awesome !

[musicequalhappiness]

Thanks for sharing!

[TheGroovyWizard]

Maybe the most beautiful, touching and a-temporal of all Dire Straits songs. Awesome music, really! A true classic with the thrill of blues/rock at no extra cost... Two pieces in one, and the breathtaking finale. Mankind in one single song.

wowie,how about MK stands up so straight with that aquostic guitar during the sax. during the electric guitar......very nice performance,beautifully song!!incredible to me...(-: coco

[juenter1970]

I was 22 years old in the summer of 1992. I was standing on the left side of the stage Cologne Stadium. Right before a wave breaker. Nobody could push from behind.Hearing Dire Straits meant a l l to me in that moment. I´ve never made a nearby similar Moment.

[coade123]

Fk me - this guy is so much a better guitar player than anyone else. How does he do that without even looking at the keyboard? Perfect insta harmonics too.

[chopperg1966]

Original song, no ones ever bettered it...

[benishait]

המשטרה חוקרת ב... של הגברת

@ubershithead1989....

"its a mystery to me as the question is presented to us, how idiots like you still live amoung us, its clear to see (ask anyone) dont just hear it from me,

how someone like you just dosent need to be, such a fuck-tard, and we all agree,,,

[ubershredder1989]

why cant he sing properly that fucking cunt

[gwozdek2]

magic :)

[TheNonames2009]

coooooool

[feralferret]

We have more soul. A greater connection.

[Loralie666]

Outstanding!  especially the end..OMG..

[TheSamara89kitten]

I fell in love with this song listening to Alchemy. Excellent live album.

Private investigators are scum.

[nestosic]

One thing...this is not a concert from Basel....this video is from St.James Stadium...England....but...any­way...best song ever...i mean...EVER !

[chickengeorge69]

Nope, this is definitely from the recording made in Basel in 92. St James studium in Newcastle looked nothing like that .

[Hedin128]

очень хорошая песня... под эту песню, я когда-то впервые целовал девушку...

[RainbowAngel42]

Ther's nothing else to say but : he's simply the best.

[GIGGETTO1972]

io c'ero, I was there

[herbalinzia]

...la più bella canzone di tutti i tempi...il duello di chitarra e sax...impressionante...da brivido...un sogno!!!!

...altro da dire?...toglie il fiato...

[kindra95928]

its very very good.

[alfriendo2008]

Does it get any better? I think not!

[GuitarVato96]

Mark is just one of those guitar players that just stands out from the others.

[accuristau]

Magnificent! This haunting song freaked me out the first time I heard it, and it still sends shivers down my spine. Just magic.

[GuitarVato96]

same here

[blisse123]

It's got to be one of the best endings to a magnificent song ever!!

[lusitanium1]

@blisse123

[rajandavid]

[MoveOverCasanova]

[Davesuno]

Es maravilloso

[stillloner1]

Just Perfect!

Absolutely Awesome!

Mark is Great!

[123ThisIsMe]

Great song !

And great to see him play acoustic guitar - like he did on the original vinyl version

[fungulotualatuarazza]

MASTERPIECE

[dielange6]

elke toon klopt gewoon.... miiss wel 1 van de beste nummers ooit gemaakt!!!!

[Tommekens]

Idd ! Best guitarist ever :D

Die sax ertussen is ook wel chillend :)

[brulldozer]

nee..zeker 1 van de beste ooit gemaakt!!! geweldige plaat!!

groet uit den haag

[genxxxersize]

What an awesome performance! So why doesn't Knoffler get the same recognition as Clapton, Page, or Hendrix,? Long live Basilia! Peace

[blogberry]

He did, he did!

Hendrix is just dead. Page has just started being a star a bit earlier. But comparing to Clapton, our guy is now quite a real, worldwide known and recognized star =)

but why to compare, enjoy =)

[manuiatime]

smooth..love the clarinet intro

[SpiritLevelBubble]

It's a soprano sax. Just FYI :-)

[Ross21111]

best ever !

[mas224V]

Fully Agree !!!!

[darekvalencia]

lo mejor de lo mejor viva mark

[loesvanlaar]

Blijft zo ontzettend goed hoe vaak je hem ook hoort, fantastisch!!!!!!!!!

[Wappsu]

Now, we are getting somewhere

[marxistsoldier]

this sucks live

[martin4real2]

Couldnt agree more with ya

[mas224V]

F*cking ASShole!!

[23flowergirl]

No it does not. Have you listened to Alchemy? Amazing live.

[homicidde]

no comment, it is just amazing art of mark, it is onef the best guitar player on the world

[natdriver]

Brilliant again by Mark Knopfler, one of his best live versions of this song. Great to see Phil Palmer playing twin lead with him to

[aldoreza49]

I'm agree with feargal75 !!!

[feargal75]

No doubt, Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists ever !!!!!

[frankycasselman]

In the '90 it did a lot of free climbing.

We went to the Belgian Ardens and mostly we went at nighttime.

I had an old Walkman and always I used this song. We where doing dangerous and stupid climbs. But this song gave me the right feeling. It starts slow, and the power is building up...

Merci Mark Knopfler !

[davemcf13]

Knoppfler is borderline GOD on guitar! Undoubtedly the best since Stevie Ray left us in 1990. Mark Rocks!

[blaxxus]

Too bad i was just born when that happened...

[midniteKnite]

still alive???

[frambosidica]

Now get off my lawn!

[frambosidica]

3:28 Mark Knopfler conducting the Dire Straits orchestra. Not only is he one of my fav guitar players ever, whether you like their music or not (what's not to like?) I think they're the best live band ever. Their live versions are better than the studio ones, and that's how it should be. But nowadays there are no more real compositions, and live they usually play a track.

[lg160475]

paul who? ha

[xian19sarah]

Fabulous!!! i love this group!!!!

[kimevivi]

great!thank you

[sonhos63]

The best...

[pb006w3511]

[danred666]

...this is one of the songs where you can´t await what happens next...great!!!

[hubirudi]

wow!

[mas224V]

A genious guitar player & artist

[feargal75]

I absolutely agree with you - what a splendid melody and Knopfler is one of the best guitarists !!!!!

[chuckm51]

How the hell do I legally purchase these great tracks?

There are soo many killer live performances on youtube.

I know how to burn a cd, but not capture these great audio tracks.

This is such a great song.

[lookers70]

I was 22 years old in the year 1992. I was on the right Grandstand in St.Jakob Stadium I saw the sunset. And heard Dire Strait....;-)

[kmhjyellow]

And you're one of the lucky audience.

{^-^}

[pikas99]

i was 14 when i first listen to them ..im 37 know and continue to .....:)

[d0ma1n92]

he will be a legend of music

[natdriver]

The man!!!

[cagalhaoambulante]

Simply the best musician ever

I just love him :)

You are the best Mark :)

[liveovercome]

he's got it all man

[ytcarol]

Yeah he does. Excellent songwriter, superior guitar player, incredible voice, and tight with his band mates. He's said he just loves to play and it shows.

[liveovercome]

and even now,after dire straits he keeps on writing songs that noone else can write about.

like postcard from paraguya,what a genious.

nobody can even compair to mr knopfler.

no ONE. there are bands with great music,and average lyrics. and vica verca. but this man got it all. but of course,there are other great bands. but not in this genre.

[letargic4]

gran video, grandes musicos, gran tema.

Muchas gracias por mostrar calidad musical en youtube

[johnnyquk]

with out doubt the best track in the world

[outcube]

Knopfler is a perfect musician

[thibs64]

une merveille

[kittynhaelektra]

he's a god.

[daveeeed]

THIS is the reason why he's done so many soundtracks, like cal, princess bride, wag the dog, a shot at glory etc

[cybertrak]

Knopfler is amazing

[hematite124]

BORING!

[bodomwhite]

Indeed

[eylaum]

amazing what can come out of that guitar...

knopfler is a complete artist. brilliant guitarist and composer...

unlike clapton who's only a guitarist.

[Schnidler]

haha, layla, wonderful tonight, tears in heaven, yeah, really bad composer...

[northy05]

poor poor ruined by singing not well not effor like he cant be arsed and the playing aswell like he cant be arsed comin

[sp1key1982]

the playing is superb u muppet, and he has always sang like that, he talks his songs, ythats why mark knopfler stands out from the rest

[northy05]

the reasons why he stands out you muppet is for his unique playing style thumb and pick he also rights like able songs his singing some times as i said lacks effort like here

[sp1key1982]

i wasnt commenting on his playing style, i was just mentioning that it is not a lack of effort,its how he has always been

[northy05]

arse liker

[seandoyle66]

Thats the way he has always sang and played....its why he's great.........hes a geordie 4 fuks sake what did u expect....allad jones

[geyik88]

That's great! No another comment.

(İstanbul/Turkiye)

[oldfart4751]

Yes it's Phil Palmer, worked a lot with Eric Clapton.

[dannyboy0169]

The only reason I visit youtube is to watch this video.

[liveoilfree]

Glad someone filmed these. Live concerts are really the art, studio albums are manufactured music. The performance is the thing!

[StevieRayVaughan84]

The guitarist after the saxophonist,is he Phil Palmer,isn't it?!?!

He's one of most underrated guitarists of the world!!...but Knopfler just if better!!! :-)))

[zikkyi]

cooooollllll

[daveeeed]

i love his guitar sound compared to on the night cos it's so natural and not over produced like on the night. even though the soundboard recording isn't great, the guitar is nicely in the mix

[mootstick]

man..

to use surfer-type words..

these guys are like.. POW!

dude if i was the guitarist playign electric id probably jsut cry at my incompetence compared to knopfler..

[Rampagingnoob]

i just luv this song....great ^^

[Croucer2]

super group all turkey loves dire straits

[zakmakkraken]

I'm not a big fan of Dire Straits, but this performence is just amazing!Like it much more than album version.Knopfler is THE MAN!

[Humbuckerz]

The fact that this was recorded straight from the soundboard... makes the whole 92-er basel recording legendary...

[musictwou]

this is beautiful i loved it

[sveon]

OMG this sux private investigations from "On the night" is soooo very much better! listen to brothers in arms from "on the night" and you will see the diffrence!

[CrockySlum]

pure unadultarated fucking class.......excuse the language

[dannyboy0169]

I love this tune, can't believe they do it live!

[obuiob23]

Nobody makes contact between instruments and audience like Mark Knopfler...and then have you seen what he can do with a guitar?The best ever...I love him...

[msxrated]

This is definitely one of my favorites along with Brothers In Arms...I was lucky to see them live, and there will always be a place for Dire Straits in my record library...Thank you *KMHJYELLOW* for this excellent post...BRAVO!

[sulacoR]

MK is "The Lord of the Strings"

[thecandyspookie]

Haha, I like that.

[ottodorsk]

Oh man, this is good. No other band could do this. What kind of acoustic is he playing?

[countesscristo]

Spanish.

[reichlgyula]

I love this song and the whole dire straits/mk music Mark absolutely fantasctic gitarist!!!

[daskapital8]

Great song! But he changes it too much from the recording version.

[thecandyspookie]

Thats the point. Who wants to go to a concert and here the same thing you can hear at home? Knopfler has movements in his music, hes very classical-oriented.

[lervin007]

one of the great song ever

[dannybrown15]

wow!! have you the money for nothing from this concert??

[Way2Silly]

So nice! Love the way he never plays anything the same way twice! Live is way better than the recording.

[Humbuckerz]

Watch the whole Basel concert on DVD. It's around on the internet (bootleg) and every descent Dire Straits Fan should have a copy. Best registration EVER. Pure virtuosity what Knopfler is showing off. Perfectly written songs even more perfect performed. It can't go any better!

[Way2Silly]

Thanks to your advice here, I was able to find and order a copy and now won't have to depend solely on finding my favorite clips here, which sometimes seem to vanish into thin air. He is an incredible player, isn't he? Only MK can make a guitar sound like this! Pure joy, for us!

[kmhjyellow]

Thanks all your comments! As a older descent dIRE sTRAITS Fan,this is really a great concert that Ive ever heard/seen. As a bootleg,it ranks over the official live DVD,"On the Night".The artists,the sound,the shots,even the audience were great.MK makes the rock music & guitar sound tasteful, elegant & classical.Salute!

[guitarific]

this one is great! thanks!
