Mark Knopfler - Romeo And Juliet A Night In London

[DannyCavanagh2011]

i reckon our mark may have been going through something about this time, by the look on his face at the final lyric xx

[mrpelotazo83]

6:05 love it

[brandyandcoke]

Still wondering about the 39 dislikes, everyone to their own I accept that, but this guy is the consummate musician and artist I find it hard to dislike works by him.

[Thurzotron]

@brandyandcoke I agree, I'm not quite sure how you can actually dislike a piece of art like this.The only things that come to mind are people who found The Killers version first and were told that Knopfler's is better, which it is, or perhaps the quality? These spoiled children who expect perfection in everything they consume for free. Either way, I'm not impressed and want no part of it.

[alimon72]

This is the same performance...however this link is the one that includes the orchestral opening, 2 minutes longer, but SO worth it!!!

[alimon72]

search Mark Knopfler Romeo and Juliet, its a little over 9 minutes

[sco22y]

sheer brilliance

[Antitaleon]

3:33 and 5:05 i wish i get to live this feeling one day

[alimon72]

@Antitaleon just so you know, along with great love comes great pain, this song is testament of that. Some say its worth it...I have felt both...and am still clueless. :)

[GillCrockett]

Whoes de 38 loser who doesn't like

[TheRobertLiautaud]

That's 7 minutes everyone deserves.

[shaver5959]

who are the band members



[liznace]

I have to have personal therapy or quiet time and I use Mark's songs as I find a peace that I have so desperately needed. It bring out the kindness and love within.

[Ad4m2k8]

Don't let this type of music die ! We will keep it alive

[Siuler100]

Magic song!!!

[Ad4m2k8]

Brilliant !

[my235]

Ahhhh! The piano!!!

[zektheiguana]

37 ppl need more fiber in their diet

[cjellwood]

6:48 thats the guy from the original 80's video to this song lol

[cjellwood]

how many good tunes can you get out of 5 chords? Ask Mark

[thejxc]

37 people can't even click the right damn button.

[111610310925]

@thejxc you are so right! They need to stay away if they are so damn stupid.



[gregabraham1]

I didn't know Chad Cromwell played with Mark, i first seen him with Peter Frampton and i really like his drumming. Mark is great doing this song as he is with all he does.

[ansoerrealzale]

5:08 seems that he´s going to start to cry. The sentiment that Knopfler puts on this song is incredible!!

[theSicilianToe]

I love Marks steel guitar. Its the sex.

[alannabutterfly]

lol sharing fantasies

[mtkb24]

I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you..

It's the most romantic line I've ever seen

Best Song Ever

[LostInSanityy]

Amazing...



[raith1194]

i have to listen to this every few days, can't get enough!

[abegonzal]

@raith1194 me too! i found this song by accident 5 years ago and i just can't get enough, it's my favorite song EVER!

[65earwig]

symphony,,,,,,,,,,,,,just lovely

[Mante53]

Emotion!

[Floodlezoot]

this is pretty damn awesome. I'm surprised I didn't hear it until now.

[fftwobyfour]

When I watch this video, my favorite line from Sonnets from the Portuguese comes to mind, 'And when I sue God for myself, he hears that name of thine, and sees within my eyes the tears of two.' Tragically beautiful.

[egauthre]

@fftwobyfour ...yes!

[20sk]

Now this is a real love love song you can sing to the love of your life without any shame. Mark Knorfler is one in a million.

[IpkisCrazy]

Just the most beautiful song ever...

[KiaraLucinark921]

hihi sharing fantasies

[Xorcful]

Please fellows don't count one of the thumbs down, it's mine, i had to turn my computer up side down, to like this emotional strong artistic masterpiece twice !! :)

[bodiddleybodiddley]

Love how he keeps time snapping his fingers with his bad company on stage. "You and me babe, how bout it?"

[gabycponce]

Someone use to sing this one to me....

[MsJosephine71]

@gabycponce me too...

[ovi73aov]

Great singer. The best on the quitar

[TheWhiteAx]

the dice was loaded from the start.. so true..

[deansusky]

Pure genius ,,such people should never die ever

[thankGodforDavidG]

mark knofler tha guitar man of choice, on the same platform with david gilmour.

[StuJee1]

beautiful guitar part

[DOREMISOLO]

˙·٠•●♥ღ.*♫•* ♫♪

[fishercat23]

The emotion you can see in Mark's face after playing this countless times is a true testament to the pure beauty that is this song.

[FuckingCup]

Awesome!

[1Gocreate]

if you watch this video enough you will see that in the line 'you and me babe' that he is actually singing about his own experience in life by virtue of the proceeding expression on his face, makes the song more emotional and one of my favourite love songs and that's a lot for a male to see these days

[kainatfatima1]

ha I`m good looking babe, with great sense of humor

[DSakaiOnRye]

The line is "all I do is kiss you through the bars of A RHYME..", not "ORION".

[cjellwood]

5:56 when he puts that guitar on get ready for a shiver down your neck

[mabzbabe]

This is my wedding song we both love this song it is so us. 'Said I love baby till I die. There's a place for us.' I  Dire Straits and I'm only 22 yrs old.

[2klime]

All I can do is kiss you through the bars of Orion

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you anytime...

thanks for the share

2klime

[katerinare]

ON jest ponadczasowy!!!

[captaindillo]

3:35 when he chokes up...

[Xorcful]

I was expecting one of the most rated comment to be about how emotional mark is in the two parts "you and me babe, how about it ..." and "all i do is kiss you ...", but ... ?? !! how deep, full of feelings, and nostalgic is his look, and is mark himself, he is a REAL artist! Respect!! ... Speechless !

[Adamc753]

Take that Juliet. :)

[cappuccino450]

er ist ein Könner...

[mrcavanigol]

mark knopfler are great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ms1981o]

איזה ביצוע טוב!!!!!!!!!

[ermarify]

wow, awesome!

[madeiramagic]

You have to hand it to the drummer, who is brilliant in this song.

[rikrokus11111617]

one of the best guitarist...

[jongreek]

Wow. Just fantastic.

[MonTownMassive]

Loved this song for nearly 30 years. Classic and wonderful. Thanks to all who made this song come to life.

[TheNigelr]

Awesome piano

[TheKingDannyboy]

who is the other guitar player playing with mark?

[c99sativa]

@TheKingDannyboy that would be richard bennett, great player.

[theSicilianToe]

@TheKingDannyboy My guess is somebody not as good as he is! :P

[MegaDragge]

33 people did get heart attack =(

[armucheedotcom]

In high school, I rocked to Dire Straits. Then I became a fan of singer/songwriters and right there was Mark Knopfler. Then I learned to play guitar and finally fully realized the incredible talent this man has.

[supersamy60]

fantastic . one of the best songs ever .

[morpheos111]

Happy birthday mr Knopfler. Heard this song on the radio today again as I was going to work and promissed myself I had to revisit this masterpiece . May you live long and prosper.

[jackster1212]

This song was heartbreak for me... and millions of others, I'm sure. Played it on a loop, countless times over, in the dark with a bottle. Best after-ache song ever written.

[Tostito12345]

Can you please tell me where I can purchase this dvd so great music.

Thanks in advance for the information.

[CaradaysRedux]

"Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night till it be morrow" Great modern retelling of Shakespeare's story.

[cookinblues101]

The guitar is a National Style O

[ziggyente1]

Maravillosa canción!, maravilloso artista! te hace experimentar una sensación extásis, eso es lo que logran los verdaderos artistas. Sólo ellos tienen la facultad de trascender en el tiempo y en los gustos de varias generaciones.

[Tostito12345]

@ziggyente1 El tiene una voz tan calmada y relajada se siente como en un trance al escucharlo.

[operasinger27]

What a great song! Although the gorgeous guitar he was playing was a bit distracting... Does anyone know what kind it is?

[accuratedude]

@operasinger27 I believe its'a called a dobrow (sic). Lynyrd Synyrnd sang about it in a song named the ballad of Curtis Loew.

[troykelso]

@operasinger27: It's a National Style 0 Resonator. It's featured on the cover of the 1985 Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms.

[mia3ken]

on my favorite list always....my ultimate Love song..

[liftedcj7on44s]

The Emotion in this song is so strong, I always shed a tear especially at the 3:30 mark when you can feel Mark's Pain as this song is about a Failed love Affair and I am sure anyone can relate to this song as everyone goes through it sometime.

[kaatygirl]

Brainwashing worked well dad..20 years later,sitting here watching it ,Smiling with memories...Ps doing the same brain washing with my daughter..<3 

[dbrew2u]

Quiet Power ! Once again Mark proves that it's the Song that matters, not the volume it's played. Unbelievable piece of Music . I thought Mark was going to cry for sec ? That's alright Mark, we did that for you.

[gabrieltoresin]

nice drobro

[lesrustiestknight]

very beautiful. <3 <3 <3

[hair864]

I always wonder what is going through his mind when I watch him sing this song, whatever it is, I don't think even Mark could describe. I think this song is for all those people who have loved and lost. An absolute masterpiece.

[HanaEurope]

Great piano line...

[lloydguillaumegroup]

poem: Dawn, heart redness, every year a seed, covered by coloring compounds, lines inserted approximation, tiny silently small violins, sound in space powers of the soul, the dragon of renewal, the imaginary prepares, researches apparently due to vibrations, the alien will, Entertainment having reached it again, a resonant nonetheless.

[Ivan3368]

kamaradi to je laska k hudbe

[469sally]

[mdwo01]

One of the simplest and (IMO) best songs ever penned and performed

[kermicheo]

the story of life, is quicker than the wink of an eye. the story of love, is hello goodbye. until we meet again - James Marshall Hendrix.

[ilovescoobydoo1000]

such a beautiful song :)

[bluestreakbuck]

it takes a powerful artist to bring a song like this from low and soft to strong and back down again

[Tebbek]

Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

[Paladaobr]

É um MONSTRO!!!! MTO FODA!!!

[CURTISEC51]

Never get tired of this song, will be one sad day if it is ever removed!!!

[pinetarish]

@CURTISEC51 ive listen the this song my whole life but this is the best ill never forget the first time i saw this video

[jwiddle]

his voice has gotten better. I prefer the accent.

[jowra]

when we make you used to cry...

i must cry on this music... epic.

[rockncleve]

Hey Babe....How Bout It....

[willjenks8]

Mark knopfler is best guitarist of all time the man is a magician he deserves a knighthood

[1969woodieable]

Magic. I remember seeing this live at KGV Oval here in Tassie in 1986. Seems soooo long ago. Hang on it was sooo long ago. Gee I'm old!!!

[wx5767]

3:19 -3:45 is a tear-jerker, thats for sure.

[S7evieRay]

You can feel it in his eyes

[shiwadiva1]

@S7evieRay

right you are... and on his lips... this one makes me cry, everytime i see it... it's sooo beautyful

[callumrocker1]

Just went out and spent 15 of my british pounds on a capo so i could play this song!

[92Pranav]

@callumrocker1 wow, capos are expensive :), i want one too, to play this song, boom like that, and postcards from paraguay

[callumrocker1]

@92Pranav Dude their expensive when your still in school haha

[RoadHouseLexxie]

@callumrocker1 uuh... they are so expensive. i think i have to sell my second guitar to buy the capo for the first one ;)

[callumrocker1]

@RoadHouseLexxie aww shut the fuck up this aint cool. The point of the comment is that I went through the effort and spent what little money I have, to travel by bus and train to get to a music shop, and then spend all my money on a capo, simply just so I could try to play this song. Having said that if it wasnt me who made the comment Id probably be taking the piss outta whomever wrote it aswell.

[RoadHouseLexxie]

@callumrocker1 oh come on... dont take it that seriously :)

[lobeleykoko]

buenisima voz¡¡¡¡¡ nada q ver con the killers XP

[benny9988]

mark knopfler is a legend...... FACT

[bajjitvs84]

Wonderful! It is not just the superior ability to play the guitar, the way those guitar notes sing, the feel of those notes..........MK is absolutely PEERLESS! 30 years, still I keep listening to this song. If this is not Classic, what else is?

[elizabethosler]

@bajjitvs84 AGREE TOTALLY.....

[TheStarlingsATX]

Sigh. Some days I practice my guitar and all the other days I just watch this video.

[mattharris777]

@TheStarlingsATX Dude (or Lady), I totally know how you feel.

[avensis25812]

He's the greatest storyteller in classic rock, and this is my favourite song from the Making Movies record :-) I've been to several concerts with DS and MK over the years, and it's a breathtaking experience for all music lovers.

[tabulaerasae82]

no silly speech , just a timeless masterpiece :)

[inverterville]

lost for words,this guy is a true artist there is no doubt about that

[wyomingmaki]

Yeah, how about it?! Want to hear you in person again in 2012!!!!!

[mauriziovermi]

"At the top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards."-Hunter S Thompson

Knopfler is certainly a snow leopard.

[MrBluesforyou]

One of the nicest love songs!!!

Greets from Germany and Thanks for upload

[baphomet21]

I think I listened to the song one time too many... now I am overcome with the longing for lost love... "when are you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong"

[MrDDC12]

is that guitar CHROME?!! RAAAAAAAAAAD!!



[youginex15]

In my opinion, one of the best love songs ever writen. Indescriptible the feel in the Knopfler's face... simply... wonderful

______________________________­______________________________­____

En mi opinión, una de las mejores canciones de amor jamás escritas. Indescriptible el sentimiento en la cara de Knopfler... simplemente... maravillosa

[nitemoovs]

this is an example of a song that goes too long. Should have wrapped it up at 4:30

[sannox01]

This is all about what touches your heart

[minedsukka]

wow 10th time and still my eyes are glasing over

[wawalker1968]

who is that playing bass?

[omtechxl]

@wawalker1968 John Illsley, played bass for Dire Straits, been playing bass with MK from the very start.

[SrdjanLimich]

@omtechxl and omtechxil. Sorry, guys, at first I also thought it's John Illsley, however it's Glenn Warf. They both are very tall and look alike. Greets from Armenia.

[mcmaesso]

indescriptible...

awesome

nearly to crying

this song reminds me why men are afraid of death

[Dukabor]

@mcmaesso have not idea why this says to you men are afraid of death? My wife and I first danced to this song and it became our song...matter of fact it was our wedding dance song...she died 11 years ago at 42 but this still remains a very powerful song when I think of her...just the "you and me babe....how 'bout it"...it's how we lived through 15 years of marriage...

[sjdenny]

@Dukabor Very touching words and I am so sorry. Knopfler is my hero and his songs bring us all home.

[shiwadiva1]

@Dukabor I'm so sorry for you... 'you said i love you babe till I die'...

[Dukabor]

@shiwadiva1 And I will love her till the day I die...and thank you for feeling sorry....it's okay now...raised the kids...I did say...when I proposed..."you and me babe...how 'bout it"....but it was just me being silly and not saying the "M" word...she said yes anyway....and I DID have a ring! Matter of fact it was my great grandmothers diamond ring...nonetheless the band at our wedding played this magnificantly...well of course they did...it was my old band...

[lynsey627]

@Dukabor I love this song I am 27 have listened since I was small. Glad tthe song means so much to you, I love dire straits they are my favourite band xxx

[lynsey627]

soulful voice and my hero xxxx

[momindurani]

@Dukabor i hope she lives on with u!



[Dukabor]

@momindurani sorry for reply so late....she does and actually the song means more now?...she was beautiful...and I was just another one of her deals....then I was the deal...

[mcmaesso]

indescriptible...

awesome

nearly to crying

[TheAnimusification]

@mcmaesso * indescribable, I thing you meant. But I agree with you for the most part. It is a great song.

[TiagoFerreira92]

i love this song *.*

[scrim29]

30 people should go play in the road!
