Check out 1:55 when they go into the chorus and sing "Sailing to Philadelphia" and the keyboard player sings a terrible flat/sour note when he sings "Philadelphia", look at Mark Knophler's reaction and the look he gives him! It is awesome! As if to say, "WTF are you doing?" I love it. Killer song.
Possibly one of Mark's most significant songs. A true appreciation of his north-eastern roots (forget the European stuff). He grew up there, and Jeremiah Dixon is/should be a local hero. Beautiful song.
and having another singer perform with the song, i.e. a duet like the original cd version, would make it even better. One of his best songs i believe, amazing artist
Brilliant keep them coming Max. You have created THE BEST resource and MOST comprehensive site on the net for Knopfler/Straits material, you even found the original Straits demos that I thought Id never hear. THANK YOU!!!
Oh...MY....GOD. This melts my heart. This may be the best performance of this song that I have seen. Pure Gold. DogSwede1, you are seriously the best ever.
liten besvikelse dock att man inte känner igen ett enda av outro-riffen från skivan, eller ens någon släktskap med dessa. Det är naturligtvis bra och sevärt men jag är inte säker på att han var så himla inspirerad just den där kvällen.
I love the duet-thing between mark and John with the cittern. Reminds me of the Albumversion where the duet is between Mark and James Taylor=) Thanks Mark and youre band, and thanks DogSwede!=D
Thank you for the upload :) Such a great song

He is coming to Holland in a few months. It's a pity he is sharing the stage with Bob Dylan, not such a great singer anymore...

liten besvikelse dock att man inte känner igen ett enda av outro-riffen från skivan, eller ens någon släktskap med dessa. Det är naturligtvis bra och sevärt men jag är inte säker på att han var så himla inspirerad just den där kvällen.
