Not what one could call a 'great singer' by any stretch of the imagination....more a mumbler than singer - but hat's his style. However - by God can he play that guitar! Incredible! Has to be one of the all time guitar greats. Great composition!
I dare you to try to ride on a stationery bike to the beat of this song from start to finish as the bike builds irreversable resistance and the drums, keyboard and guitar mercilessly pound your leg muscles beyond endurance, you have no choice but to start pedalling backwards and the song is only half over!!!! BRUTALLY BRILLIANT!!!
Knopfler will always be the greatest guitarist until the day he dies IMO. When that happens the death of a legend will be so sad. He will be regarded as one of the greats.

Oh wow ... what a live performance ! ! !
They extended this live version of "Sultans of Swing" by using an instrumental theme from one of their other songs ... and it works out real great.
Thanks for uploading this :)
Has to go into my favorites !

Mark knopfler is not the best guitar player on earth, he doesnt lack tecnique but he cant match Jimi Hendrix Jack white John frusciante or Jimi Page

@gadelhas7 probably I agree, but WHO cares? He's my favorite one anyway since ever.

@gadelhas7 MK can match with anyone...
and any man who has ever tried to play a guitar can testify without fear of contradiction.
