  • Sometimes i think of a line ...like "we have just one world, but we live in different ones" And i try to remember where it was from, was it from a movie i had seen when i was little? Or from a poem? Or was it something i said? I would not be surprised if someone says "thats what my grandfather used to say" ....something like that. This man and his songs always created "special moments" for me. Thats why i love Dire Straits.

  • da brividi.....

  • .... 2:13 wonderful

  • in the address bar... type repeat between the word youtube and the dot. thank me later! :)

  • Universel...

    

  • this version*

  • I heard this for the first time today and I'm overwhealmed... MY GOD! feels like revelation :O

  • @LizyPage watch Miami Vice season 2, miami vice played a vital role in spreading this song!! just search miami vice brother in arms and feel the magic of that video!! lme know your feedback :)

  • @MrBillyLaw That's an incredible episode of Miami Vice!, "Out Where the Buses Don't Run". Probably one of the best of the entire series. They couldn't have used a better song, to fit in with what was happening. A perfect closer.

  • @alb639 Out Where the Buses Don't Run" exactly!! this one... no doubt. They used this song in the best possible way... none can use this song like that.. ahh.... magnificent..

  • @MrBillyLaw No question, Miami Vice was incredible cool, for it's time. One of the things that really separated that show from others, at the time, is they used REAL music. Not lame cover versions performed by lounge bands, like most shows did. They used powerful music and enhanced story lines - with the help of music. Oh, what an awesome show Miami Vice was... Some people think it's a bit hokey nowadays, and in some ways it is, but it was groundbreaking at the time...

  • @MrBillyLaw It certainly did

  • Undoubtly the best version of one of the best songs ever made.

    M.K. my favourite guitarplayer of all times.

    Mark: I make a bow to You from the Low-lands...

  • It' amazing! He did the 90 per cent of the concert with that beautiful Pensa Suhr!

  • Most soulful lap steel my ears have ever heard. Melts my heart each time. Not to mention this performance overall is out of this world.

  • @muzaklover78 Most soulful? Quite possibly...the best lap steel, in my humble opinion, is Pink Floyd's "One of These Days" Pulse album. Check out the video, in HD, on YouTube. David Gilmour freakin' brings it...

  • 14 imbéciles qui n'ont rien compris à la vie!

  • my first cd in 1985 : indimenticabili emozioni

  • Really makes you appreciate living in a "FREE WORLD" how things can get taken for granted like the simple things in life.....like living and dying for your country.

  • Pure simplicity and pure emotion, pure music

  • I salute thee, commander Knopfler.

  • The best song ever...

  • the 14 people who disliked this track must be Lil Wayne fans

  • @MBM111 i didnt think lil wayne had any fans

  • I can't believe Metallica's shit version has been watched almost 2 millions times.

  • With apologies to this audience, this really isn't the kind of song you sing along to...this isn't Thunderstruck by AC/DC or something.

  • INCREDIBLE!!!

  • splendide ............

  • a text from shivers...masterpiece!!

  • how can anybody dislike this?!

  • @joswany just about to say that

  • This is definately the best live performance of BiA... Pure gold-

  • i hope they have youtube in heaven or at least an cd player then i bring all my cd's. else there is no heaven.

  • @TheEarepol In heaven you would no need any cd or that stuff because Knopfler will be there playing along with Gilmour, Harrison and Clapton :D

  • 14 people are terrorists

  • this is what i want played at my funeral

  • @rwford56 just the same thought what a beautifull piece op music

  • Awesome video. 1985 was on miami vise

  • A facebook scam told me that lady gaga, also known as the corruptor of modern society, was found dead. this isn't true...too bad

  • Goosebumps at 0:00 .

  • What kind of guitar is he playing, a super customized strat?

  • @bobbyjrkerry I believe that's his signature strat

  • @bobbyjrkerry Pensa-Suhr MK1, custom built (MK = Mark Knopfler) ;)

  • Shivers at 4:38 on the line 'Every man has to die...'

  • No words can describe this!.

    I think describe with chinese is  扣人心弦

  • goosebumps at 1:49

  • GOSTEI. Bonito de VER & OUVIR. Obrigada por COMPARTILHAR.

  • 6:00 Incredible !

  • Art, in it's pure essence...

  • Vorrei sapere se qualcuno di voi conosce un'artista come Mark che suona e scrive capolavori da 40 anni.

  • This is by far my favorite rendition of this song.

  • Amazing...

  • The best live performance of this masterpiece!

  • 6:25 Fantastic solo on Pedal Steal Guitar !

  • This is an example of a true musician, someone that can write music, co-ordinate a band and spend countless hours tweaking and honing such a masterpiece. Yet, pop exists, and has such a strong hold that it makes me wonder r people being dumbed down, or are they afraid to step outside the circle of acceptance and actually appreciate a song without an electronic voice? It really is a shame that so many don't know songs like this exsist.

  • awesome

  • for me the best live version of this song!

  • Gostava de acreditar que ao ouvir esta música faria reerguer alguém 

  • Humans can be the most amazing, wonderful and complex beings. But also can be the worse. The most dangereous animal...man is. Knopfler...best is.

  • What makes someone come here and press the dislike buttom? Youtube should delete the dislike buttom from this video XD.

  • Does it get any better??????

    NO

  • @treviddick awesome!!!

  • @treviddick Two words. "Mark Knopfler" That makes it good

  • amazing!!!

  • This has to be the best version of brothers in arms.

  • @northertnivorycoast1 try "dire straits - brothers in arms mandela live 1988".

    the quality isn't very good but is still sounds great :D

  • @northertnivorycoast1 I always think that after listening to every version xD

  • @northertnivorycoast1 the one during the concert for mandela is the best in my opinion

  • 6:54, best note of the song.

    So powerfull

  • @dpnlopes maybe you meant 5:45 ;-)

  • T-shirt, Jeans and spotlights .... you don't need more @ a concert with this music!

  • I had an orgasm !

  • This has got to be one of the best live recordings of Straits, the mic really pics up his voice. Beautiful song.

  • you're welcome

    mais putain que c'est bon ...

    j'en ai la chaire de poule !

  • Can anyone name all the members of the band who played on this concert?

  • @SolyomRa

    Band members include: Mark Knopfler (lead vocals, lead guitar), John Illsley (bass, backing vocals), Alan Clark (keyboards), Guy Fletcher (keyboards, backing vocals), Danny Cummings (percussion, backing vocals), Paul Franklin (pedal steel guitar), Phil Palmer (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Chris White (saxophone, flute, backing vocals), Chris Whitten (drums).

  • @tusnut Thanks a lot! =) =)

  • Una de las mejores canciones de la historia de la música.

  • Comment removed

  • I cannot find words to describe this!

  • shortest eight and half minutes in my life, just divine!

  • OUT Fucking Standing... Awsome...!!!

  • Best Live Version !

  • Thank you so much Dire Straits!

    And thanks for posting, this version is the best!

  • REALLY GREAT

  • just verry verry verry Beautifull.

  • I just can get enough of this song...i guess its more than 100 times now...the best thing is, it gets better every time...pure magic..

  • The shot at 7:32 says it all....

  • Mind is officially blown at 6:26.

  • 7:16 Only a Dire Straits member can rock out with a tambourine.

  • unerreicht und wohl eines der geilesten stücke aller zeiten..gänsehaut-harmonisch und poetisch und für mich ist mark ein gitarrengott!! live mit pink floyd das beste was es überhaupt gab!! da geht mir auch heute noch einer ab ...-grüsse aus hamburg an alle feinschmecker der guten mucke!!

  • Ahh, the chills I get up and down my body I get when I hear this version. That people is what real music does to you!

  • Probably one of, if not my favourite songs ever. Just beautiful, and that guitar is just incredible. Knopfler, you're a legend!

  • Live performance of this song just beats everything I have ever heard! And I do listen to lot of music.

    In my personal opinion this is the best guitar performance of all! And not only the guitar, the whole composition turned very consistent and no less emotional! Meaningful lyrics. The song moves me!

    What we all saw in the video above is only possible buy the best. Thank You for music!

  • des frissons.......

  • JUST MAGIC NOTHING ELSE

  • La plus belle de toutes leurs chansons :)

  • Beautiful

  • What a powerful version of this powerful song.

  • @brandyandcoke YES IT IS YOU JUST KEEP ON LISTEN TO IT

  • R.I.P. Volker 08.04.11

  • Incredible. He is reinventing himself in every song

  • i get lost deep into the music when i listen to mark knopfler. this is one of those songs i can have a beer to and lay back.

  • @thatzgnarlybro I DO THE SAME

  • @vasilatika Good! I'm glad other people enjoy Mark's music as much as I do

  • @thatzgnarlybro its not just music its magic

  • @vasilatika yes, yes it is

  • funny world... but Baghdad during the 80's Iraqi soldiers fighting the Iranians had this as there fave song

    Bizzare but i can assure you true most friday nights they used to play BIA about 50 times.

    DS world tour in i think 84 / 85 radio baghdad actually said DS would play in baghdad then Sadam realised MK's heritage and could not allow it especially after DS played Tel Aviv during the tour.

    So there you are another bit of DS / MK trivia from that golden age.

    How do i know all this....?

  • the most amazing version of this incredible masterpiece.I saw Dire Straits live in 1992.Now i can die happy.

  • @SouthernBeast666

    I saw them (twice) in 1992 too!

    Amazing sound and music at those concerts.

    So loud, but such superb sound quality at the same time. Really really great!!

  • @r2ombs ,keep those two days jealously in your heart and your mind.We didn't see lady gaga or hannah montana,we saw Dire Straits.It's a rare privilege.

  • @SouthernBeast666

    ^^ Yeah that!

    Just the sound of that guitar, live, is something you have to hear to appreciate.

    So loud, so powerful, and yet so delicate at the same time.

    I managed to get right to the front row, in a large stadium, a couple of metres in front of Mr. K.

    A truly amazing sound. You had to be there to really appreciate Dire Straits.

    These videos on Youtube just serve as reminders of how good that 'sound' really was.

  • @r2ombs i agree they were an awesome band live ...i have heard so many super groups in my life but non will ever compare to DS and MK live - period !!!

  • @SouthernBeast666 you are holy...

    I wasnt born :/

  • " 6:53 to 7:21 " gives me shivers...how do u transit from one end to another so smoothly? ...speechless

  • best LP :)

  • Probably watched this on DVD and on here over 50 times and I still get goosebumps. Reminds me of so many people and places, past and present...

  • Best rendition of this song. <3 Knopfler

  • @Greatherlorre absolutely spot on, beats any other version, the end solo makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

  • @Greatherlorre absolutely spot on, beats any other version, the end solo makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

  • Crikey-Saw them on this tour, seen MK every time he tours the UK-absolutely brilliant. Got the DVD, seen this vid loads of times, it just gets better. Sat here with a glass of wine with tears streaming down my cheeks watching it on my laptop. Am I sad or what. The guy is a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • @a1terrier2 - lol likewise but with a beer

  • simple whit shirt and jeans, a guitar and your music, thats all you need <3

  • This song, and You and Your Friend is two of the songs that has made the biggest impact on me of all the songs I have ever heard. They never grow old, and I have heard them over and over for more than 15 yrs, and still I enjoy hearing them time and time again. Not many songs can do that for you. Geniuses at work !!!

  • more like the zidane of guitars !

  • THIS IS TO MY BROTHER WES. WHO I LOST AT AGE 15 IN 1968. I WILL MISS ALWAYS HIM I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER. YOU ARE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. YOUR LOVING BROTHER BOB. R.I.P BULLET BOB.P.S MAY GOD WATCH OVER YOU ALWAYS. I LOVE YOU.

  • This song is absolute perfection. I will never get bored by marks music, he puts his soul in everything, the way he play is amazing, iv'e been playing for years and i cant play anything like that. Some say it might look easy but, try it and you'll see, the amount of emotion he playes with, is just crazy.

  • Man I love the beginning of this song from 0:31 that itro into this song has such power and emotion. Such an awesome guitar piece by Mark Knopfler

  • man I love that first lick of Lopfler's guitar 0:31 just the perfect entrance into such a powerful and emotional song. wow!

  • im gunna make a montage microsoft powerpoint of my best mate thats in the army of him and his platoon 16 The Rifles he will be serving soon and i will put this as the sound track :)

  • My guitar teacher always said your solo should be a story in itself, Mark demonstrates that the best I have ever heard

  • ¡Que bueno es éste tema, que buena es la agrupación, que bueno es el mensaje del mismo y que buena es la interpretación! En lo particular pienso que es uno de los mejores videos musicales que he podido ver en mi vida.!

  • happy birthday Mark :) you're simply the best *_*

  • amazing

    possibly the best version ever

  • mark you are teh god on guitar but paul franklin, on the lapsteel is amazing. both yall can talk to me without saying a word

  • one of the best songs from one of the best bands of all time

  • THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO MY MEXICO

  • utwór jest super muzyka oddaje treść

  • It's reductive putting "I like it".How can I do?

  • I just get goose bumps.

  • 6:25 Paul Franklin kills it on the Steel Guitar.

    Knopfler amazes me, every live performance of this song is incredible and different. I think this is the best one though. They all just sound great together.

  • @WRXTACY712 dude why? i think that the steel guitar solo gives something special to that live version of the song...

  • Comment removed

  • MARK KNOPFLER l'artista,il genio,il musicista vivente piu' grande di tutti i tempi,le sue opere parlano lasciano il segno.

  • Paul Franklin è assolutamente un genio,

  • what a jerk you have to be that you do not love this song

  • The girls face at 7:31 sums it all up. She just looks mesmerised, almost as if she doesn't understand the whole thing but kinda... does? A modern day masterpiece to me and should be taught in music classes in schools.... along with a backdrop of war footage. It would bring some realisation to all of the Video games out there, COD etc. I play them, but I also get the outside world. So, powerful, thanks Mark and co...

  • Good to hear a song like this in a difficult time. Over 80 youths gunned down in Norway. Totally meaningless!

  • 8:21 to fly away.......

  • 4:19-5:05...tears jerking solo

  • neeeexna bilay walay dada du senegal

  • Comment removed

  • 3:28 to 3:30 Loved it LMAO X)))

  • Where can I download this full concert in high def?

    I only found torrents for Alchemy Live. Great concert too, but they don't play brothers in arms... T-T

  • @lucaslmgv Go and buy the DVD... This masterpiece is worth to spent the money.

  • @kanickelfresse

    If the money did go to the artists who composed this masterpiece, yeah, I would buy it...

    I'm not up to giving money to record companies, though...
