David is good, but well, he ain't Mark.... who not only has that star quality but, my God, as everyone knows, plays that guitar as if he was born with it. Plus, of course, Mark is a genius of a songwriter.
Yeah, but i think he has a better voice. He takes out on those vocals much more. They should've let David sing and mark just gaffel around with the guitar. But, as u all know, mark thought he was better....
@Faravid85 if you listen to the version of this song from the late 70s, David is singing it and its no where near good. luckily Davids voice improved with time.
Just uploaded this song with Dire Straits from 78, and it's really cool to hear. David sings their too and I guess it was the only time Mark let him do that. :)
@DogSw3de Yes they do. But I think David is definately the better singer.. I can only imagine how it would sound, his singing while Mark plays guitar...I wish they'd play together
It's a nice video! In my opinion it's almost impossible to compare David and Mark, they're both different musicians. I like the way David is able to make a "full" sound with only 4 musicians; their interaction is very interesting. If you have the opportunity to see DK playing somewhere, just go! You won't be dissapointed!
I agree I think that David is a fine musician but I don't know if you agree he just is not as natural looking or playing live than his Brother Mark. He just doesnt have the same stage presence or natural ability. Just my opinion!
Yes, it´s true. Dire Straits played "Bernadette" live in 1979. The song has never been released. A recording of the song you can find on CD 1 of the Bootleg "First Complete Dire Straits Live Project", but the sound quality is not very good.
poor old david didn't write any of the songs - so no royaltyies I geuss. oh well at least hes got hair :)

@victor10x ... LOL... true, but not all the hair in the world can make him anywhere near as sexy as Mark!

He can be very better if he forget the problems of dire straits and start a really band.

You can really hear the early Dire Straits sound in his playing. The band's sound really changed after him and Pick Withers left.
Guy9998 2 years ago
Guy9998....YES..the sound changed a lot. It took Mark K a long while to find his feet again. "Money for Nothing" was the winner for him.

Beautiful.
Love David's rythm playing style, just wish they would still play together.
David's rythm style compliments Marks power so well.

Dire Straits played this in the 70's, didn't they? I have a very old version on my iPod that I downloaded from some foreign DS website.

DK is one of those diamonds you have to dig for. It's well worth the search though. He's way too underrated as a songwriter.

I've really got into Davids Music recently (I'll admit this was through a love of Marks stuff
Davids a Legend in his own right! I wish he would tour to a great degree in the UK so I could go and see him play live!!
