Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Live)

[Mark070795]

Knopfler is great. And i want that Vox behind!

[robinekholm]

448 people loved this solo so much that they falled to the ground by an eargasm and thought by accident thats thumb down was thumb up ;)

[mrmemoryjunior]

Knopfler and Gilmour are the best living guitarists out there, in terms of musicality and fantastic songs and solos.

[bigbowlofcereal1]

Such a bad ass!

[rcarroll1000]

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!!

[C2Dlive]

What a legendary solo

[draklorian]

Hehe, I listen to rock music for so long and never get into the dire straits, shame on me!, well, this song is certainly a great start!

[8987846]

anybody knows at what year this performed?

[gaur1000]

@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!

[bruno2000150]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh



[brianlad]

Unreal!! Wish I was there for that.

[christos1271991]

[soufian191]

[fIRsTRATmAN]

MARK KNOPLFER SIMPLY MEANS GUITAR GOD

[gaur1000]

@fIRsTRATmAN Yeah man, and I shook hands with him in the first row at a concert in 2008!!! Never washed my right hand since then... ;-)

[fIRsTRATmAN]

@gaur1000 Thats awesome man, but i think you should wash your right hand if you want another handshake from the legend ;)

[mcgwire71]

einfach nur gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!5stars!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Frankklin08]

his fingers are 5 fucking picks

[GolldLining]

@Frankklin08 *his thumb

[gaur1000]

@Frankklin08 NO, only 3 picks as he uses only thumb, index finger and middle finger for the right hand actions. ;-)

[MrMigue143]

what's happening? 443 people have became stupid.

[axlrosea675]

@MrMigue143 now 445. 445 out of 27546: 1.6 %. if society had that stupidity rate, we'd be awesome. 

[GreenNinjaZX6R636]

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.

[wbravo66]

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

[wbravo66]

Justin Beiber said, God sent me to play music

Mark Knopfler said no I didn't

[wbravo66]

he never once looks at his fingers, OK maybe once to see if they were on fire, pure brilliance

[IvantxfTutorials]

talves knopfler sea viejo pero sigue teniendo ese talento innato para tocar la guitarra tan asombrosamente es mi heroe de la guitarra

[LilDrummerBoy74]

Wow. Every time, the build around 8:00 makes me bawl like a baby.

[sirjeo1986]

Its amazing how good that PENSA sounds. best song ever

[HOTM20]

diez sobre diez



[EricZGrinn]

Queen Elizabeth, what about making Mark a Sir???

[Russsir]

[Miraz2579]

Wow!! 6:15....

[AetherSh]

Mark Knoplfer is...God Himself.

[TheJustZoli]

[fulkfogan]

@WaAsEeM10

I see, you cant read... 3 million and 13 million is a small difference.

and in these days everybody downloads anywhere for free... so advertisement is more than a waste of time

[jaaaarts]

@fulkfogan

Don't waste your energy answering that shit and just flag it as spam like i did :p

[2short2q]

"glassy" is a good description crisp and precise.

[388TheHeitor]

A musica muito boa em studio .. ao vivo nem tanto

[leandroarthropods]

I aways asked why they did,nt include him among the 10 most better guitar man of the world, he deserves that

[leandroarthropods]

Muito bom



[Visualundeath]

That tone is so glassy <3.

[OromisBack]

@f100sCUSTOMSCLASSICS You and me, my friend.

[beableish]

[samulele91]

[GigantDragon]

[FabiomassimoR]

@GigantDragon chuck norris can do anything he want.

[THENITEGHOST]

@FabiomassimoR apart from play this track ==}}

[titilandus21]

@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

[guiderman2011]

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 !

[TomatoesWin]

now i got a boner.

[GunnM21]

It's, it's,it's ......MADE IN HEAVEN !!!

[Pfloydiana]

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?

[fuckawala]

music from heaven

[lamfrocks]

7:45 better then sex

[orgiaaa]

@lamfrocks i think you meant "better WITH sex" huh ?

[Brunoeira15]

@lamfrocks Imagine the two things at the same time ! Feel in heaven xD

[dean24uk]

@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,

[MacMarshall17]

@lamfrocks I wouldn't go that far but it was pretty damn good

[Szlachcic666]

@lamfrocks yeah, mega



[stahleisen]

@lamfrocks So damn true !

[jpa9cds]

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...

[TheGhostlord]

@jpa9cds Jazz rock? More like blues rock. Either way, it's awesome. :)

[MarkofJoel]

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

[fl4b3s1]

434 ppl have no idea what music is about..

i rly like it

[claydavy1]

Fabulous video! He is truly the master !

[pakitovillanueva]

classical song mark knopfer genious

[Kardengos]

damn they are jam it

[Koiyty]

When I saw the video is 10 mins, i thought it would be boring, but no! I'm surprised I enjoyed this :D

[LinaHeavy]

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.

[adilio70]

esse e o melhor.....

[burnhead92]

the dislike bar is like lady gaga's penis. small and shouldn't exist!

[warrenmixon]

The music is SOOOO frickin good, that nobody(including me) gives a damn that I can't understand what he's saying..... Best DS song ever....

[5teady]

The guitar and piano when playing together is a match made in heaven!

[34835513mb]

Eu não sei porque eu gosto tanta dessa música .Seria loucura eu perguntá-me o porque disto .Johnny por que você gosta muito dessa música ?

[Yang855]

@34835513mb Eu já me perguntei isso também,amigo

[zektheiguana]

i used to be amused by the "took an arrow to the knee" thing until i took an arrow to the knee

[mumbelino1]

julya pedro

[billnegao]

Simplesmente muiiiito bom! Mark Knopfler, fantástico!

[offspringdu18]

just AWESOME !

[antoniosleandros]

nunca mais teremos uma musica tão boa quanto essa.

[McDeadcat]

Understated understatement, performed smoothly and at a good pace.

[joferlatino]

Fantastico, musica como esa, nunca mas

[JuggernautSquirrel]

What is this arrow to the knee business i'm seeing everywhere?

[Adon81]

@JuggernautSquirrel It's from Skyrim

[slrosu]

@JuggernautSquirrel I used to answer that question..but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[DoubtingDarren]

By far my favourite youtube video!

Thumb's up if you agree!

[srinfynyty]

- EPICO

[DF13NatalRN]

06:43 - the touchs on the piano are very beautiful.

[rydorful]

TEARS >>> TEARS OF FUCKING EPIC JOY

[dtennow]

Makes me sick that The Beastie Boys made into the rock and roll hall of fame, and these guys aren't

[Bugman541]

E P I C

[luizlapa]

alta peformance, maravilhoso....

[TheWorship190]

these guys kick ass live!

[srdjankovic]

Its arrow IN the knee, not TO the knee. I used to write TO, until i took an arrow in the knee.

[FernandoNINETorres]

not*, bit drunk.....sorry x

[FernandoNINETorres]

Knopfler seems to be confined to people who love great music to themselves.

I really dunno how to describe this man, i listened to Water of Love, not a classic on paper, but what a great song.

I swear, despite the viewings, he is still underrated, i sense it.....i am prob chatting shit, but i dunno, he is considered great by the people that matter but by the popular masses.

Strange, like how many great love tunes has he made but dont get the commerical stamp of approval.

[FernandoNINETorres]

@FernandoNINETorres not** bit drunk, sorry x

[GeorgeTel100]

@FernandoNINETorres Loved Your comment!!
