@TheDnexGaming i would say Private investigations, Down to the waterline
, Ride across the river , once upon a time in the west is on par with those 2 tracks you mention. Amazing how a single band produces so much legendary music ..
Audience asleep and disinterested, just think if they had been an appreciative how this video would be better yet....great talent love that slide guitar Knopfler!
@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.
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!
One of the best songs of DS...One of the best songs anyway...
