mark knopfler and eric clapton and elton john daniel live

[2503eltonjohn1947]

Where have all the good times gone? Früher konnten die Stars noch selbst entscheiden, ob sie eine Session zusammen machen. Abgesehen das die heutigen Sternschnüppchen gar nicht mehr selbst entscheiden können, sind sie auch kaum in der Lage es musikalisch umzuseztzen. Seit Mitte der 90er geht leider kaum noch was...

[Cooltool2008]

mark <3

[worhello]

What year was this performed?

[apx24]

@worhello I think this concert was from 1988 in Tokyo, Japan

[worhello]

@apx24 Thanx :D

[mizofan]

Elton is still going very strong; his new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is superb

[pallebj]

Thank you for the songs Sir Elton!!

[Hendrucks]

To bad that they don't make this kind of music these day anymore...

[dany68able]

the best talent all together

[waytoohappy1]

I love them all - especially Sir Elton............

[Hummel901546156]

I'm sure someday we'll see elton, freddie and lennon singing all the songs of the world togheter

[dipsey7777333]

@Hummel901546156 in heaven my friend

[CaptainCloudy]

I love the guitar play of knopfler on this song.

[marydwyer14119]

Great stuff from Elton.

[Dbetteboop]

Bernie Taupin wrote "Daniel" while inspired by the events of the Vietnam War. The lyrics describe a fictional veteran who was blinded as a result of the war ("your eyes have died"/"but you see more than I") and travels to Spain to escape those around him back home ("do you still feel the pain"/"of the scars that won't heal?"), including his brother, from whose point of view the story is told.

Listening to Mark Knopfler play was a privilege.

[Green3y]

Congratulations... you copied and pasted this DIRECTLY from Wiki :P

I looked the song up cause I wanted to see if you were legit and you just took the first paragraph of the Wiki article

[josephkevin1970]

Religion is the evil of all faiths as people bend the rules to their advantange. In the name of religion many things pass & are left burried without any questioning. Who knows what's right and what's wrong and who wrote the rules in any given religion ? All simply believes what they do themselves is right !

Music has always be used for peace whereas religion has caused many wars.

Leave out religion and enjoy the music all you guys.

No one can fix the religion issues. Peace to all !

[happylifementor]

religion is to do with the mind....and is mainly left-brain. Religions have lots of rules and regulations...again...that's all about the mind.

Consciousness is what we all strive for...and consciousness does not do rules & regulations.

Music can appeal to the mind on some levels, but the emotional vibrations of music go far deeper into our being. just beautiful...music can be the language of consciessness.

[qprmick]

Sod the argument over religion and music, its irrelevant. I like to see great muscians jam together especially when Knopfler is involved.

[armensog87]

If you knew a bit more about him, you would at least read the lyrics to his songs, inspired by the Bible, and his collaboration on Bob Dylans 100% gospel albums. But you just like accusing, so you better think about yourself, noone is strong enough not to do mistakes without God on his side. and your religion is nothing!! Faith is the key.

[armensog87]

Bullshit, arhims, show me a proof of mark taking cox, you just blame people from your high trone - your "religion" says the ones who put them high will be the lowest. You think about it. Maybe some ppl tried it cause it was like everywhere, i dont have marks home webcam, but mark has never been a drug addict , and he didnt use that stuff to write songs like most of other hippie rockers.

[freedomsoldier187]

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding !

[gazzaboy2531977]

what was this collaboration for?

[ckeuh88]

and oh, Knopfler, you're the man! Looking forward to your new album!

[dennysh75]

Its too bad with beauty such as this people think religion is more important-------music, poetry and art have real saving power - think about it and teach your children please!

[taltosom]

you are nr:1

[ralebr]

I agree! GOD is not in religion... I believe that GOD is in things like that... poetry, music, art, to love people, If God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. See "Rob Bell Rhythm Legendado".

[arhims920]

Alright, first things first, I love music more than the average guy but honestly, I do not believe that it is more important than religon. All the people in this video have snorted cocaine at one point. They don't have soul. They treat their body like shit. Music isn't the reason why we are all here, religon is.

[ckeuh88]

the reason why we are here has nothing to do with music or religion. I think that more people died and suffered because of religion than for music.

What is more important to you? Religion, fine. To me it is music that cheers me up and makes me happy. And yes some of the good musicians took drugs, but some great music came out of it, even music that you like (I bet).

[Weirdlittleboys]

And anyway, music has never caused a war like religion has... =]

[Londoneye57]

What tosh - Has music ever started a war?

Answer - NO!

Religion on the other hand has been behind most wars that have taken place int he past and the present..

[MissyHolland]

Oh, I've always loved this song, and I like Knopfler too; I have his philadelphia cd.

[tmsantiago]

Wow. This is amazing.....

[tarljo98]

Wow my favorite Elton song w/ my favorite guitar player. When and where was this show please??

[doribrick]

[TheTerminalMoose]

Ahhh... Three of the best, most talented people in music get together to play one of the most supremely excellent songs in the history of the universe... TIMELESS CLASSIC!

[qprmick]

And its great when these legends play music together, real music!!!

[racesity]

[danske81]

[paulfenderply57]

Daniel is a vietnam vet who lost his eyesight and travels from America to Spain, it explains it more in the last verse that got cut out, its a made up story that Bernie came up with

[hbultri]

Does somebody know the date of this show?

I think is more or less 1989/1990...

The hat is the same one he wear in "Sacrifice" video clip...

[JJ2555]

This was on the 2nd of november 1988 at the tokyo dome

[ranchoboyeros]

there is no one like him...my favorites are Daniel,Sorry seeems to be...,Elton's song,We all fall in love sometimes, Chameleon,Sixty Years On and so many more

[ub40freak]

OMG Those back up singers look like protitutes or something

[stresslie58]

And, the problem being??

[ub40freak]

No problem...I supoose those were the styles back then...I mean, just look at eltons hat!...good song though, suppose that's all that matters

[stresslie58]

Yes it is. Funeral for a friend in my personal favorite. Peace.

[PhysicsProf1]

I like prostitutes...they add a little something to the performance!

[IHaveNoFingClue]

You know what, i actually like Elton's singing more now a days than when he was young. for one thing his voice is more mature and it seems like his voice has more jive and soul than back when he started.

[IHaveNoFingClue]

[radiance65]

My all-time favourite Elton record. In fact my all-time favourite record EVER!

[Basti2780]

I very much love the way he sings "waving goodbye" on 3:22 , back then he liked to improvise much more than he does now. Adds so much more to his songs

[MgHq]

no it was written by bernie about a guy coming home from war and not being able to deal. so he goes off .

[Rombizio]

Which show is this?? How do I get the DVD???

[abrahamer34]

wow....R.I.P Daniel Wultz

no this song was not made for him or dedicated..i think about him when i hear it..google him for his story..R.I.P. Brother

[godwhyisthistaken]

about a vietnam vet in i know true but there specified storys for everyone.

[btns01]

elton wrote this about a younge boy who died of cancer great song love u elton.

[weaseldoc13]

Sorry, but this song is about a Vietnam war veteran who couldn't deal with coming home. It has nothing to do with a kid with cancer.

[captaingrundy]

i have always been in awe of mark knopfler's guitar tones, even before i decided to take up the instrument. it's also great to see clapton laying back and letting someone else take the spotlight. when is this video from?

[crokus69]

esta cancion me recuerda a mi querido hijo q esta en massachussets papy i miss u con todo mi corazon noquene.......

[jeanchemla]

this song reminds me my brother daniel two years older than me who died two years ago - my scar wont heal - he is a star in the sky by now and rests in peace

[guitarmaster123456]

Mark Knopfler is my Big Idol..

[WhisperLady023]

mee eens :)

[bonstempos]

Divino!!!

[funniq]

I really like Elton John, I adore Mark Knopfler, but when Elton plays the piano, I'd prefer not to hear a guitar playing. That's to much. I think.

But hey ... they are all time heroes to me ...

[miguelbento]

What a clean and beautiful performance by Mark Knopfler (between 02:00 and 02:35)

[MysticalWynd]

Elton is the Man!!!

[sidney0942]

Pure brilliance. Loved it.

[Gibblady]
