Chet Atkins, move over... I am no guitar expert (the only musical instrumetn I play is the stereo) but I never get enough of the finale of this song. Thanks for sharing!
The way this solo and the rest of the band slowly and subtley and build up is so clever. You don't even realise you're in a solo before the first minute has passed. The bend note on 0:34 is a masterful touch.
...Come si puo' chiamarlo......orgasmo musicale credo sia la parola esatta.....grazie di esistere DIRE......ogni volta che ascolto questa opera sinfonica senza eguali....mi viene voglia di vivere......
One of the most powerful and profound pieces of music ever conceived by man and NOBODY can play it like Mark. It's second only to his Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy, of course). Great post!
I feel like i'm so talentless when I see/hear giants like this. What an achievement. Amazing music, invoking amazing feelings. I spent my days as a teenager listening to that Alchemy album on my walkman in the summer, whilst walking 4 miles home from work. just me and 4 miles of fields. I could have had a lift if i'd waited one hour, but having that time and listening to this was so much better. Listening to Telegraph road really suited the journey/walk.
I was just discussing this with my baby tonight .. there are some musicians you just know when you hear them. Carlos is like that, David Gilmour, certainly Kenny G w/ his saxophone. Mark Knoffler, is in that class of musician, a unique sound. So cool. This song is epic.
Espece de sac a foutre. va t'acheter le cd avant de parler mongole de merde.

viorelardeleanu u r VERY SMART. Why did sum1 give U a negative point/Mark?
Is it coz they r envious, U r from EASTERN EUROPE but master English better than them who R from the United KINGDOM of N-Igeria (N-orthen Ireland) ?!?
My ex-boyfriend the Patrick Swayse look-alike said Why R U dumping me again, I hope it's coz U wanna' go work in the United KINGDOM of N-Igeria (N-orthen I.reland) ?!?
i just love how it sounds on a vinyl.. damn there should be a dire straits music school or something...

Would be cool to hear David Gilmour play the solo to this song. Or have Mark and David trade solos. If only...
