dIRE sTRAITS - Telegraph Road_Pt.I - live in Basel 1992

[defender09ful]

Incrível!!!!

Faroeste caboclo do Mark Knopfler(em alusão ao de Renato Russo),das melhores bandas q tenho conhecimento na musica mundial!!!

[odurhamccc]

i used to watch a complete version of this on another channel until it disappeared a few months ago. It had a grey picture , i'm sure it said something about streaming and something to do with germany~please excuse my internet ignorance! It's just so nice to listen to,in my opinion, one of the all time classic songs without interruption~anyone got any ideas what/where it might be?

[salvianoveronica]

Simplesmente PERFEITO! Dire Straits é Dire Straits! Uma banda que estará sempre na memória dos que sabem o que é "música" de verdade. Dire Straits é Imortal!

[heyitsmejojo]

this song is about detroit

[demibatera34]

a melhor banda de todos os tempos ,os caras simplesmente executam com maestria e arte o poder da musica

[biglice33]

Oh... I was born in 1992... =P

I really love this song ! Thanks for posting this video ! Mark is the best guitarist !!

[paoloisabella93]

MARK WE LOVW YOU!!!!!!!

[spooksie24]

I was in Karlsruhe 1992 when they played. It was great. Telegraph Road is my all-time-fav - and this version rules.

[Robertcas65]

This band was never tighter than with Jeff Porcaro and Chris Whittem providing drums in the studio and live. Here's hoping for REUNION

[BigBoiJC]

Jeff was definitely a great drummer....sadly..he is missed. RIP Jeff...may your legacy live on.

[dannymartin01]

although mark wrote alot of good music i would have been interested if someone else wrote a few songs that took the band in a different direction just for an album

[SweMuc]

After David Knopfler left the band the Dire Straits manager "Ed Bicknell" once said that Dire Straits was a vehicle for Mark Knopfler songs with not much space left for others.

[MKECBS1]

and in my opinion thats a the best thing to happen because NK is genius muscian and song writer

[MKECBS1]

MK even XD

[bram07021993]

lol I just notice, David would be DK :P

[Emibeth]

Each and every one of them are musical geniuses in their own right but the words comes out of Mark's mind....he is as great a writer as a musician. He never ceases to amaze me.

[TheElevenz]

I've seen this song once when Mark played in Erfurt and it was so intense... I'll never forget this. And to refresh it, I'm going to see him again next month in Erfurt. I'm so happy.

Thx for uploading!

[TaS4eVeR94]

a mamm e pepp

[izilivin]

Heard this song in concert in Nürnberg around the mid 90s. it lasted over 20 minutes with unbelievebal Soli in it. people were crying from intensity

[vicvk]

brilliant!! mark the best

[tommyg794]

sony2hd, do you see your therapist often enough?

[jmichael103]

Great version of the song but it is just different than Alchemy. They're all 10 years older, in their 40s, so the pacing is different.

[gillpir]

Ma route du télégraphe, elle passe dans la vallée de la durance, c'est le rire clair d'une fille, des regards comme des promesses de toujours, et a jamais gravés dans ma mémoire, ces instants de bonheurs. Le temps s'est arrêté ce moi d'aout il y a vingt années, un instant devenu éternité.

merci de m'avoir aimé.

[tomfernei]

Talking about this version, the changes they made are for the worse. The performance is a bit loose, a bit tired. I recommend the Alchemy version, it's even tighter than the studio one.

[chriswhitehead]

I prefer this version with paul franklin on the steel was the best version of this though if i had to pick one. Alchemy was great too, but i think this is my fav

[tomfernei]

I first heard this song while still a kid. I immediately thought it was the greatest number in rock history. I still think so. Being hungarian I didn't understand a word of it, but that made it even more mysterious. I felt as though it was about the god of music just creating the laws of music out of the big black nothing. I still prefer listening to it this way, even though it's an adequate expression of man's struggles with nature and modern society.

[rgsaural1975]

sony2hd, so your us is a genius, but you a poor idiot.

[rgsaural1975]

This song is unequalable, music, lyrics, i have never heard something like this, I never fed up of listening to this song.

Esta canción es incomparable, la música, la letra, nunca me canso de escucharla.

[Sciurida]

My favourite song ever, this is pure poetry it appears before you if you clos your eyes, it's beautiful... helps me up when i'm down as well, you just let yourself go in the song, and at the end, i always have a smile on the end, no matter how deap down i am... :) wished there were more musicians like MK and Dire Straits!

[grusige2]

This was the first live concert in my life. I was about 12 years old. I will never forget it. I love this song too!

[5ph3r3]

Great Sound, I love this Song!!!

[palatrix]

what a performance, im only 16 but love this music.

[Rombizio]

Looking at your stupid comment I can imagine what your ass has to offer.

[klutz94306]

dude ur fucked in the head if u dont like this song. pull the huge dick out of ur ass u fag.

[breukerijs]

if you don't like the song, then why are you watching it?

[kobloskornel]

man you sucks return to scooter and 50 cent and leave us rock fellas alone!

[darylz07]

Luckily, I prefer hearing this lame ass comments from someone without brain, instead hearing it from someone wìth brain.

[ekrium]

Hey! Where's the last 4 minutes?!?

[Cheribar]

look for part2 ^_^

[ekrium]

Yeah i found out after my comment.

[Rombizio]

Check part II

[ekrium]

One month after i posted that comment you answer -.-'

[midiyavhathu]

yeah, but u gotta admire it. what a song!!

[bugsymy]

dunno why...but MK kinda 'lazy' on his guitar and his voice...I'd prefer his performance on alchemy live....

[bthushilp]

Guitars are there to play not to kill

MK Is more thoughtful here taking it deeper than usual

[kalem1988]

I dont think hes being lazy as such, it just seems they were trying to give more of a blues aspect to the song this time. Though i do prefer the alchemy version myself.

[Fleischfloete]

Thanks for this one. Amazing!

[eiderduck2]

Adrian x

[eiderduck2]

For u Adrain

[Opullal]

Loved it! My all-time favourite band and guitarist.

The song reminds me of my Grandfather. No song more than track 5, last track, of Love Over Gold: "It Never Rains". My favourite song of all time! I love Knopfler for it!

[KjellBrel]

One of the best!

Like Otto Dorsk writes - it's heavily influenced by "Growth of the Soil" by Knut Hamsun (who won a Nobel Prize in 1920). Amazing how everybody (including me) assumed it took place in America instead of in northern Norway.

[sdingeswho]

Wow . . . I wasn't expecting the soprano-sax solo, but it was nice! (I wondered why MK started it with the National, and that was answered quickly). I just realized the middle solo reminds me a lot of Tim Renwick (Al Stewart's band) --- have to see if there's any Al/Tim out here, now *chuckle!*. An all-time favourite of mine --- thanks for posting it! I just wish there was room for the whole 14:20 :-)~ . . .

[justmeblueberry]

awsome ~ i love this song ~ also romeo and juliet and brothers in arms ~ gonna listen to why worry next :) ~ we had dire straits playing in the car when the family used to go and visit grandma 80 miles away , when i was small ~

[specialmousenz]

My 6th form high school teacher had us study this song in the poetry section we did that year 1987 or 88 cant remember, it was so cool, he was so cool yeeeeah big ups to Phill Coogan best English teacher Lynfield College was ever lucky enough to have. What an epic song that I will never forget.

[banemozak]

Nice Video. Too bad audio's not so good. One of my favourite Dire Straits songs. One of the things I like about them is that they are really good and yet they are not arrogant because of it.

[fenxzen]

amazing ...

[TORCK99]

una de las canciones de Dire Straits que más me gustan

[Vodnik70]

Aw, man, I love this song. It's such a perfect piece of Americana, despite being written by an Englishman.

By the way, is that Jeff Beck sitting in?

[morgrp]

Just a truly awesome tune! - And to my knowledge, the longest song I have ever heard!!! think the track on the album is around 14 minutes long!!!

[stookiebhoy]

14 minutes 20 seconds on the 'Love Over Gold' album. I don't know another band apart from maybe Pink Floyd who could get away with such a guitarfest on the 1 song. Truly awesome.

[SuchASpa]

Pure class...lyrics are almighty...guitar solo's legendary

[Kalaaleq69]

I LOVE this song so much!

Thank you for posting it!

[451faren2]

I still cry sometimes when the piano starts...so much this song means to me...

[Paul8342]

Paul Franklin included in telegraph road - love it!

[klaasie50]

awesome. really awesome!!!

[ottodorsk]

Knut Hamsun. Listen to the lyrics. Markens Grøde. MK was reading it while writing the Love over Gold album

[fullmonty20802]

Fantastic!!!! Thanks.

[capitanaguamala]

thanks

[rhesus2108]

I listen do Dire Straits Since i'm 5 or 6 years old, and loved it since the first time. After listening to this song over and over, i can say that this song fits in the definition of "progressive rock", which i like a lot. May the gods bless you Mark, we love you, and thanks for writing the soundtrack of my life.

[BT111]

This is the best guitar solo I've ever seen, anywhere, ever.

I love it.

[TurnerFilmsINC]

Love it

[bsmi03]

Great! Nice version of one of my favorite DS songs.

[mrsvigil]

absolutley beautiful!!!
