LOVE,LOVE,LOVE DIRE STRAITS AND ESPECIALLY MARK KNOPFLER.!!! HE IS ONE OF A KIND!! MY SON IS AN AWESOME GUITARIST BECAUSE OF HIM AND DAVID GILMORE, ANOTHER GENIUS!!
@8987846 That gig was in 1996 in London. The beginning of the collaboration of MK with Richard Bennett (additional guitars) and Glenn Worf (bass guitar). I've got the whole concert on old-style VHS-tape and a cutted version on DVD: Every second is brilliant!
Knopfler is an artist of great skill, passion and insight, but, even more, if you watch his progression from on-fire stardom with Dire Straits early tour performances, to the awareness of his place in the business, to his contributions to major int'l fund rasing events, to his maturity, creativity and continued insight as a seasoned performer, it's humbling and affirming to see a great spirit and well-grounded man. Can hardly get enough.
Now I understand why this has been viewed 13 million times plus, sheer brilliance. Will we ever see live guitar playing like this in our life time, I think not
Mark is playing at least 250 beats per minute.......That is insane......Over four notes per second..........I think that he is a robot.......hahahha........My fave guitarist EVER...............What a great performance..........B
@guiderman2011 nah.. See it this way, ok most modern music is shit, but you get the occational good stuff, though if you were born in time for the 80s, then the chance you have of listening to all the best music is limmited, it either costed for a record or to see it live, now you can see it all for free and listen to it all wherever you are and noone really judges anymore, it's the perfect era
I am so sad when I am listening to this music... This kind of musicians from 60,70, 80 will die and then what ?? Young people maybe play on instruments like guitars, bass, drums,,, but does anybody will make this kind of music ? I was born i late 80's, but when I hear that music I'm sure I should be born few years back... MAY THE GOOD MUSIC BE WITH YOU! FOR ALL LIFE !
Mark Knopfler está infravalorado, su estilo es único porque toca rock con un sonido elegante y cristalino sin contar que a pesar de conservar la técnica, también, improvisa. ¿Se puede pedir más?
@lamfrocks not really,press play and get your women to jump on for ten minutes, and you get best of both worlds maybe not ten minutes you probly will climax at 7,45 judging by your comment ha,ha,
soooo much better than the rather conventional riffs on the album version - this is pure jazz rock at its very best - everyone listening to each other and swinging that tune around...
he is sick but i think them vocals should be better in this song for the profesinal musian he is its like he dont really cair and just wanna play gotta love it ether way
excelente tema de los dire straits, es un grupo que nunca pasa de moda, por eso mismo por que no es una moda, son ellos mismos, arriba el heavy por siempre.
