I've been at this same TOUR, but at the Portuguese concert in 1992!!! It was my second GREAT concert, of world famous Bands!!! I was 20 years... Good times, good memories!!! GREAT BAND!!! Best regards from Portugal!!!
Closely listen to an Inception dvd made prior to the January the 8th Tucson shooting, especially around the dialogue, "Do It." Check my quotes for more information.
Really great guitar, but I can't understand half of what he is saying. I dig this song; guitar and vocals. I was in my car on the way home from work listening to the song and thought I need to go see these guys on You Tube. I'd never seen them before. Oh well.
Hey guys, Mark is a wonderful guitar player, but let's not say that he's better than Hendrix or that he could school Hendrix! Let's not joke, hendrix is the father of every guitar player in the world, Hendrix invented electric guitar.
@laloblues1511 Knopfler is a god, but on a much higher plane than Clapton! Watch Clapton playing with Knopfler. Than watch Knopfler playing with Clapton. Knopfler brings a lot more to Layla that Clapton brings to SoS!
@TheSoSoAgnostic Knopfler is god but Clapton was playing rythym for both song and especially he used acoustic in layla so obviously electric stands out more

I cannot play the guitar like he does but I can talk like he does on the stage. In other words, he does not sing at all. He just talks like Leonard Cohen. None of them has any voice. Also I find very ugly to break up your group and go solo because that way he doesnt want to share the money with anybody. He will still need the musicians but he ll pay them peanuts as they will not be part of the group. Typically jewish as he is.
yeah i love dire straits and this is an all time favorite but this version seriously is not anything to cheer about. so far, the best one i've heard is the royal albert hall from 96. it's like 14 minutes long and im pretty sure the solo came in from another planet. not sure which one it was though.
Sorry I don't want to be mean but this version sounds like they are playing in a metal barrel or something. Maybe because it was recorded live? The sound wuality is just not that good.
Simply Amazing...Man they should really have used the concert in Basel on the on the night DVD release....much stronger show all round in my opinion...nice version of Sultans, byt THE best in the world, although i prefer the Old Grey Whistle test, and 1986 Sydney performances to this one....
you cant compare them because they are different, i prefer mark all the way but hendrix .. well just tell me 1 good guitar player that isnt influenced by hendrix.
sorry for my english i speak spanish lol :p
btw you can watch the second part tapyng the following - Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing Live 1992 Part 2 - the second part totaly rule .. never saw him play that fast xD
Or you could just follow the link I put in the write up :D
I would say Knopfler was not influenced by Hendrix. He was influenced by Hank Marvin and the likes.
Hendrix is a fast guitar player, but he is more a showman, I mean, playing a guitar with your teeth only proves you have strong dentures. Angus Young is (used to be) fast, not very technical but fast, but he was more a showman
Hendrix, Angus, T-bone Walker etc were all guitar players before being showmen. This was a means to get attention in a very competitive business. Especially in the early days of guitar playing.. T-bone et al, right up to Hendrix.. They also did it for kicks, being jovial and enjoying showing each other there new antics, tricks etc. Hendrix was sick off showmanship in the end and began to dislike it as it took attention away from why he was there in the first place: To play guitar.. Make music..
