  • dire strait..!!

  • Mark, could you please give some lessons. Im not a novice, and grew up with this song. ;)

  • I am just "discovering" their first album...unbelievable...

  • ^^WATERED down LIES^^

  • Superbe, magnifique, j'adore

  • The drummer works smooth and like a clockwork. Good work!

  • Pick Whithers is the Drummers name

  • HD = Heavy Dark + stretched :-(

  • Best version on YT.

  • @DogSwede1 for sure it is did you see david knoplers guitar set up... omg its at 3:23 he has a single coil humbucker single coil strat. wtf ive never seen one of those.

  • @DogSwede1 how modest of you ;)

  • @beta0net best sound quality, you're not watching a movie , aint ya ?

  • @beta0net best version in my opinion

  • Brillant sound with earphones. Thanks!

  • @beta0net the wrong aspect ratio?!? how will you live??

  • A better song than most of the Dire Straits songs.

  • A very, very J.J. Cale-esque song. Their best I agree.

  • He plays his strat in the second position of the 5 way selector engaging the bridge and middle pickups

  • The first and second albums of this band are awesome... I love them, my favourite :)

  • Brings me back to being 15 again and my all time favourite Album by Dire Straits

  • Really great - like the three-part vocal harmonies they used to do then... Also, you don't see Knopfler bottle-neck very often!

  • love this song!

    love Dire Straits, since i was tiny!

  • @Ezaele stone giant, just use grow, its your ultimate

  • My fave from the first. Great work getting such a clean upload.

  • What pick up do u think he is using?

  • he uses his fingers which is unique because you would expect that from an acoustic guitar player

  • Na i ment pickup sorry. like Neck pickup??? bridge???

  • I posle neko kaze da su muzicari Coldplay,Muse i drustvo....

  • Sultans of Swing was a great song but i think everything else on the debut album was way better. "There's a bird up in the tree, sittin' up high - just a waitin' for me to die" great stuff!
