  • Einfach genial

  • 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!!!

  • Good guitarist, lousy voice

  • awesome job in guitar ,i'd love to see he playing his guitar in live ,i'm 23 years old and i'll love forever Dires straits .

  • Thanks angus, durrrrr silly me. Whos the drummer, awsome .

  • Cut short, goes on a lot longer.

  • @type42sheff try clicking on part 2, you might find the rest of it

  • The best band ever.................

  • 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.

  • Do you know from which show it was taken?

  • This is racist.

  • @KillerKadougan How come? =P

  • Now Banned on Canadian radio. What is the world coming to......?

  • @jingwuman I thought 'Money for nothing was banned', not 'Sultans of Swing'.

  • @jingwuman Canadians will pay for this, starting with the next winter Olympics where Russians will kill them in Hockey:-)

  • THIS SONG IN NEW GENERATION, I REMENBER FOR EVER, WITH THIS SONG I MARRIED, IN TE YEARS 80-

  • Wasnt this the Moscow concert?

  • muito bom good

  • 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.

  • When god made Knopfler he took his time, then took an half an hour pause and said: That was a good one!

  • dudes amazing. so much skill without a pic.

  • cool cat voice and silky smooth licks, great job!

  • Awesome musican!

  • No comparison, Mark could school Hendrix.

  • hell yeah.. mark knopfler and his velvet gutiar.... :)))

  • This is the only song i have ever been disapointed hearing in live videos.

    The album version is just so much better.

  • legend

  • simply the best

  • Knopfler is ALso God, Just like Clapton

  • @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

  • my dream concert would be Mark Knofler and Roger Waters teaming up.

    Their styles are slightly diferent but both perfect guitarrists!

  • how you say in english when your hair of all you body gets up?

  • 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.

  • @youcantbeatfacts Yeah every solo artist is a jew . Ahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahah­hahha

  • Rewelacyjna piosenka, jednak wersja koncertowa to miód na moje serce, w part II ta gitara...!!! Coś cudownego:)

  • Comment removed

  • @poussyledzep

    try ice for a band called camel

    ice live coming of age

    u'll never regret it !

  • He is the best!!

  • oh no!!!!!!!!!!!

  • who cares bout quaility its still dire

  • In his hands guitar not just play...

    he makes guitar singing...

  • @schaber90

    he said in his master class that he tried to make the guitar sing when he was playing the notes

  • @schaber90 ur grammar makes this cuter

  • que compas mas cojonudooo!!! yo soy del flamenco , pero este tio tiene algo flamenco, tiene duende! por q no abra tocado con raimundo amador?!!

  • He doesnt sing no more, just speakin ; but still great solo ;) (sound's crashed)

  • ye the sound is really bad here .. :/ not talking about dire but the qual of the recording

  • Fantastic solo !!!!

  • you can't ewven hear the band

  • i've always loved how knophler played an electrical guitar like a classical lol. style;)

    i do like the wembley version a little better though

  • Sorry but Wembley 85 has got 2 B the best ever.

  • Every version of this song is great.. however, this is by FAR my favourite one!

  • 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.

  • Hmm, the Royal Albert Hall version is one of my least favourite versions, I really like this one.

  • 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.

  • The drums sound like a empty box of detergent.

  • And your post sounds like a ignorant retard comment. So what?

  • Cudowni jak zawsze.

  • 1 of the best versions ive ever seen!!!

  • you have see in your life nothing of good .. :)

  • el mejor. Siempre un recurso nuevo, que musico! es de otro planeta. gracias mark

  • Mark Knopfler is the BEST guitar player...

  • k te digo??? knopfler el mejor kuerda por kuerda de toda la historia

  • he does not play the guitar, he IS the guitar!!!

    excellent

  • What a version!!!! Incredible, better than on the record for sure Dire Straits Rule!!!

  • great performance my favorite guitarist ever !

  • the best version with alchemy!

  • mark is the best guitar player ever,no comments!!!!

  • Awesome this:|

  • fuckn brilliant..

  • Amazing. superb version- it's very fast!

    Another great version is with Clapton in 1988 Nelson Mandela tribute.

  • I'd swear to play on the worst guitar in the world for his fingers.

  • great song!!! I really love the sound of his guitar

  • I love sound of Pensa but looks bit strange on this song. Best song on planet. In universe. Forever.

  • great marc respect

  • idolo!!!!

  • mamma mia mark..ti amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SULREAL

  • best guitarist ever.

  • with a label "Taping-over punnishible by death"

  • Got this concert taped on VHS somwhere in my parents house... ;)

  • no word to describe sensation that this sound make me fell, too spectacular!

  • SPECTACULAR

    he deserves more recognition for his brilliance!!

  • incredible!!!!

  • BRAVISSIMO

  • 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....

  • MAGNI..xD

  • FANTASTICO

  • le plus grand guitariste et le plus subtil de sa génération, j'ai eu la chance de le voir plusieurs fois, rien à dire, toucher inimitable !

  • wauw, i wish i was there with mark

  • sensational....mark is the best guitarplayer...

  • "Here is one of my favorite versions..."

    I think this matches best.

    Alchemy is great, this version is fantastic but also Mark's version at Royal Albert Hall in 1996 is absolutely worth hearing.

    The speed of this playing is unique and I quite love it..

    One single song and so many great live versions that match to different moods - awesome!

  • 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

  • @Angus513 But Mark Knopfler was influenced by Hendrix. When Knopfler worked at the local newspaper he wrote about Hendrix more than most at the time.

    Great Vid

  • 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..

  • Have you seen MK´s solos???? He pwns Henrix ;P

  • yeah...knopfler is obviously SOOOO much better

  • i dont think so.... but everybodys opinion is different

  • the best guitar player ever in my opinion

  • That solo... That sooolooo...

  • Great version! Mark Knopfler will always be my favorite guitarist.
