  • Still is in my book! You don't need speed or flash! You need soul! You know when NOT to play even more! I dont' know where you are, but here in Nashville, that stuff still really counts. Maybe that's why he was so enamored by this town.

  • WOW! Just discovered this - oddly enough from a piece of fanfiction. I love ALL kinds of music, but this is the cream of the crop and most enjoyable. How cool to have discovered a great artist that is new to me. I can't wait to delve into this man's musical career and add to my collection of great artists!

  • Anyone knows from which song the very first Guitar piece is from? (BG of picture slide show of mark). Thank you,

  • @buginsoup1 Going Home - theme from the movie Local Hero.

  • Brilliant song from a geordie legend !!

  • What a beautiful song - could only come from someone with a very beautiful heart and mind. That was always Mark Knopfler! Thanx for all the great music down through the years...hearts and tears!

  • The best

    

  • Wonderful, wonderful , wonderful song. One of his best ones. Unfortunately it wasn't

    a hit. It was simply too ambitious for the charts.

    Real musicians accepts nothing less than PERFECT.

    Especially when they are performing live.

  • "local hero" by one Mark Knopfler.

  • "local hero" by one Mark Knopfler.

    

  • Fantastic what more can you say!

  • Whats the name of the song at the beggining of the video? I recognize it as Heartland by Celtic Thunder, but that doesnt make sense. Can anyone clear it up?

  • i had this on video once, god i didn't know it went back that far, where's the time gone? great song, lovely guitar playing. that drummers a load of shit though, oh well.

  • i had this on video once, its a great gig, this song is one of his best solo songs in my opinion.

  • Masiakasaurus knopfleri Rex! :)

  • How is England gonna save music? What are they gonna do, come steal rap songs and make them their own? =(

  • One of the greatest at his very best, go Mark go on forever.

  • @xavierdlt You fill my heart with joy baby, ty for sharing this song with me

  • Comment removed

  • @xavierdlt Beautiful Heart....

  • what a great musician and the way he plays guitar blows your mind and thx for the one who upload this video here.

  • I feel really sad that i ve never been able to attend any of his concerts. I even have tears in my eyes when i think of it.

  • @222smily Why worry,

    there should be laughter after the pain

    There should be sunshine after rain

    These things have always been the same

    So why worry now

  • The bestest... :)

  • I want to hug Mark tight for making my life soo wonderful. His music has given my life a new dimension. I don't know if anyone of you have ever felt something like this, but i feel Re-incarnated.....

  • @rmsprs everyone does feel the same ...I also thought that I was the only one...

  • @rmsprs indeed a wonderfull and exceptional artist

  • My grandparents on my mum's side were born in Ireland. Something about this music makes me tear up.

  • performens of the great artist

  • I went to his show!

  • Gracias por publicar esta maravilla, adoro esta música. Desgarra mi corazón solitario.

  • PRETTY BLOODY GOOD

  • Heard this song in the early part of the movie Twister and was instanly hooked. Awsome.

  • I´m not sure - I think some musicians are from the chieftains. 100 Points from me - if I´m not wrong - the chieftains were the first band of Van Morrison. I love both! This music has no english roots .... it has irish roots and I love it!

  • super płyta polecam

  • Yessss!!!! True love gives you freedom and takes away every chains.

  • I sooooooooooooooooooo love this song. Absolutely magical :)

  • nobody can bring a meaning to a song like Knopfler

  • nobody can bring a meaning to a song like Knopler

  • this guy's simply "the best!"

  • Knopfler's in a league of his own. I watch loads of guitar greats on Youtube and nobody has anywhere near as wide a range of talent. Absolutely fantastic.

    If you haven't heard it tet, search for 'Rudiger'. Another smasher.

  • BSO Twister

  • beautiful song! and where did you get that version of Going Home without the saxophone?!?!

  • i first heard this song back in 1996 in the soundtrack of the movie Twister. love the song

  • just wonder why he needs to use his vocal when he can do such things with his guitar! Mark should easily make the top 10 list of guitarists of all time. 

  • I like that bit where MK mimics the piano with his hands at 3:55 :-) He's got it all worked out

  • this is the fucking machine!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tu es le meilleur guitariste merci

  • The best

  • Yup..from the start a great groove...this song could have gone any whichway..from hard rock to soft folk rock as it ended up

  • wonderful!

  • Спасибо! Просто высший класс!

    Удовольствие какое :)

  • Either my Knopfler has gone off soft, or my computer sound systems cable connection Firefox YouTube interface technology has the disconnections ? I am sure it was better than this t'other day; lovely song. The XP sounds blast my ears clearly, is somebody nobbling YouTube ?

  • Thank you SO MUCH for posting this LOVELY song -have a grat day -thanks again -gus

  • Superb they really enjoy this; John Illsley usually backs with the others, Jack etc., not common to hear his voice clearly, his independent work shows a good, blending voice with Mark , the pitch on this is lovely. It is a sort of offset low commentary to the music, giving one time to think through the words. Bob Dylan, Sinéad O'Connor Shane MacGowan, Will Gregory backing Alison Goldfrapp, Duffy thinking, as long as Rainy Day Women in the memory.

  • j'ai decouvert ce chanteur a cause film twister de jan de bont c'est super

  • He says just a pastaway or castaway???

  • @peranikos

    castaway

  • i managed to get hold each of his lps,cds, dvds and every song and intervies. let me say this is the best ever and it moves me a lot

    krsbo

  • Fantastico!!!!! semplicemente stupendo!!!!!

    Mark.....nn smetti mai di stupirci!!!!

  • fantastic solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing!!!

  • Great song! Mark Knopfler is one of a kind and one of my biggest influences. I will never forget learning Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms as a teenager! Mark your music is the best!!

  • 5 stars!!! Thanx... Great video

  • mon frere daram je pense à toi quand j ecoute 7chason tu me manques bcp  c est toi qui ma fait decouvrir dire straits

  • beautiful song!!

  • pour tous mes enfants je la dedit au nom de l amour

  • since when was mark knopfler underrated? lol? most people with musical savvy know hes good. as for the res, let em like whatever poop they like.

  • He certainly is underrated. He's a helluva guitar player!

  • OMG!! Thank you for posting this! PLEASE POST MORE OF THE GREAT MARK KNOPFLER!! A VERY UNDER RATED GUITARIST !!! Love his music, voice, demeanor, and all !!

  • under rated?

    He was once pronounced to be the best guitar player in the world..

  • @kob7890

    lol, he isn't under rated; he got the respect he deserves...

  • @kob7890 I would rate him higher than Eric Clapton, no?

  • @kob7890

    Mark Knopfler "underrated"??? I don't think so :-)

  • @kob7890 Don't know about underrated. I think it's widely accepted that he's one of the greatest living guitarists and song writers all rolled into one.

  • @kob7890 I love that demeanor word you used, exellent point!, argueablythe biggest talent rock music has ever seen and you could never tell by watching him

  • @kob7890 Mark Knophler is not under rated!!!

  • Mark is a genius, so genuine and talented (the best guitar hero in my opinion). I saw him in Italy 8 years ago, he spent 2 hours after a concert sharing hands and trying to talk with noisy Italian fans who asked him questions in a very improvised English (I was in that crowd but I couldn't talk... he's my hero since I was 12). Come back to Italy soon.

  • england please save us from rap and capitol records and make music again

  • @langersamstag : You have echoed a million!!!

  • @langersamstag

    Hear Hear. It's no co-incidence that 'RAP' is three quarters of 'CRAP'

  • 5* for this one

  • 5* for every knopfler's songs

  • I love his voice :)

  • gr8888888888888888888888888

  • 3:58 cool knopfler moves

  • This is pure classic Knopfler, great song, great guitar playing, and wonderful performance, wish he still played this song live

  • This is one of my favourites. ;) Just love it!

  • It don't get much better than this - buy-a-beat,net

  • many artist look very good with a les paul sunburst guitar and much more if they can play this good like mark knopfler

  • thank you ! :D

  • by my side

  • what's the name of the introduction song? i really forgot (this one with the begining solo..) (?)

  • Hi, its called 'Going Home' =)

  • Does he still play the straits tunes live nowadays?

  • the son is wild theme local hero

  • hello guys..from Spain

    the full DVD was release only in Mexico, so if

    you're gonna buy this DVD, Maybe cannot find

    "sultans of Swing" and "Money for Nothing"

    here in SPAIN, this songs were not included.

  • Comment removed

  • for me the best song he`we ever done. saying alot

  • And I want to give MUCH credit to all the great musicians who are "struggling" in the background, who most of the times you never mention, the ones who are backing up and help the artist to become even better. THANK YOU ALL GREAT MUSICIAN I DIDN'T SEE ON THE CLIP BUT FORTUNATELY COULD HEAR!

  • struggling???

    never mention????

    euhmmm i think you don't know MK then.

    and you have to look furter then this clip only.. he is introducing them on a other clip.

    And ppl never get introduced at the first song of the evening.

  • ...and I really like the drummer, the way he plays. WOW!! Anyone who know who he is? His name maybe...thank you if you know because I would like to know. :-)

  • Chad Cromwell is his name :)

  • to leksingen: is the entire show available to purchase?

  • I think so. My cousin has this DVD so :)

  • yes it is,it s called A NIGHT IN LONDON

  • @maragar76 Think some songs are only on the VHS version... I know the fantastic version of Sultans of swing is not on the DVD but it is on the VHS video

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for that. I've been searching for the drummer's name.

  • Danny cummings

  • I liked him in all the show, except in Going Home. It was so full of cymbals that i couldn't listen to the music

  • i thought that in the beginning too. when you play it louder it sounds better. and you need good sound offcourse

  • @ulmerkott1 i always thought he was to symbals heavy in the rockier stuff, i thought he spoilt sultans of swing for that reason

  • @ulmerkott1 btw (yes this drummer is chad cromwell) he also plays w/ neil young... at least on some videos I recognized his name in the credits (plus his chewing gum lol)

  • soy un chileno que sabe de lo bello de la musica, y de la fantasia que transmite mark , gracias por ello

  • Merci Mark !

  • Mark Knophler is truly one of the all-time greats.

  • perfect song

  • Comment removed

  • Mark is a musical genius and awesome guitarist. Nadine

  • MK! Just awesome! To me he is Shakespeare without pen and papers! writing all poems and dramas with guitar!

  • No te mueras nunca tío Mark...!!!!

  • still got it mark great dire straits career great solo career i wish you luck my friend

  • Many times the instrumental part of music tends to be the stronger part. Mark on the other hand has such ifluential lyrics, truly a God with words (&ofcourse guitar). Hard to decide which is better all in all he is unbeatable!

  • I would love to have just one day with MK, a true legend and gent. No one does it better for me than him, check out Mk with Chet Atkins at the 3rd policemans ball, it was fantastic.

  • I cant tell you in words how much i love Mk and Dire straits. The music is like art, he paints pictures with his guitar,takes you there and makes you feel it too. A true legend and musician who can express himself through a guitar. He is easily my number 1 and Making movies is a personal favourite.

  • Spot on! I agree about MM, way underrated and much better then BIA IMO.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd say... it's like a Mozart of our days... MK's music moves my imagination.

    I thank God for artists like this.

  • It don't get much better than this

  • I'm a great fan of MK and he only ever uses one pick-up on his Les Paul. Gives him a unique sound with his ancient Vox AC30. A true delight!

  • Not really true. He has never played Vox AC30 live or in studio, in this particular video he uses a Soldano SLO 100 head, with either a Marshall or a Hughes and Kettner cab. Most of the time he uses one (neck) pickup on the Les Paul, but during his last tour I think he for the most part used both. The way he makes the guitars sing though, is a true delight!

    I know guys, I do not have a life :P

  • I read your comment, thanks. I am, nonetheless, intrigued as to why there is a Vox AC30 right behind him! I used to own the same amp back in the '60's when times were tough!

  • It's most likely Richard Bennett's amp, or it could be Sonny Landreth's amp, he played with Mark on Cannibals and Je Suis Desolè at this particular show. My money is on Richard Bennett, though!

  • Your watching the best guitarist in THE WORLD!

  • Enjoy all...your watching perfection!!

  • Agreed.

  • just amazing, like any other of his "operas"

  • dedicada a mi prince....

  • The best! O solo de guitarra no final da música é realmente incrível...

  • Can someone give me a link for the song in the beginning(the guitar) I cant find a song that is similar

  • I believe it's Going Home and of course it's Mark playing it. You should find it here on youtube

  • thanks, I will look for it tomorrow

  • yeah, it's going home. and it's one of the best songs of knoplfer

  • local hero wild theme is the beginning

  • just got this dvd... kick ass nothing better than this.

  • Damn I love this guys style as well as this tune. What was that first tune in the begining? That was fantastic too!
