dois fera juntos da nisso otimo som

[TheLineCutter]

Music, and i mean this kind of music, realy gets adictive to me. It's like sigarettes. You listen to it onces and don't know the brand or anything you just know it's great. And after hearing it more and more you start getting/searching the things for yourself and you find more and more stuff untill you can't live without it. Except music isn't harmless. You can listen or play it all you life. I can not even start imagining a world without music.

[MrGregoryGr]

3:02 is the "spot"! ;)

[jonefc]

Fuck off talking about modern day shitty artists, don't want to see their names on a video like this! Focus on the talent of Clapton and Knopfler!!!

[OberfeldwebelPfeffer]

Still waiting for the artists of my generation, that can act as an inspiration for my children.

[Leto1988]

Video with Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler - two top comments about Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.. oh, for fuck's sake!!

[19boys77]

[fIRsTRATmAN]

Imagine Mark Knopfler and Jimi Hendrix jamming together

[mrozik162]

@fIRsTRATmAN World will be not the same mate :)

[BertholdUmbrecht]

holy shit, the audience knows how to clap :D

[C2Dlive]

and thats how i became deaf

[39Helmer]

i love this song, especially acoustic, but Marks guitar sound on the electric guitar together with Eric's acoustic is probably the best version of this song ever...i got goosebumps each time i listen to this

[Indigosnakes]

Most excellent!

[smokiebird06]

Mark Knopfler is my all time favorite guitarist. I saw him here in Vegas at the Hard Rock and he was beyond belief. Just amazing.

[Pedozzi]

what guitar is mark playing? awesome performance!

[maciekwaski]

@Pedozzi Gibson Les Paul

[themichaelc]

@Pedozzi looks like a les paul to me

[makn0]

i'm here to listen knopfler's solo :D

[blackpearl961963]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Mark! Everything note an eargasm! Absolutly love it!

[mrfalafl]

I have wood listening to this.

[C2Dlive]

Dr house is really good at imitating claptons voice!

[carlosreis62]

MAGNIFICO!!!!!!!

[soldier4788]

This is music, not that dubstepcrap of today, shame that people almost wont listen to these song anymore

[LizyPage]

When I die, if I'm going to heaven I want a Gibson Les Paul waiting for me...

[BrunoSanx]

Do people start to clap at his show because his name is Eric CLAPton?

[LizyPage]

@BrunoSanx Nice try ;D

[242176]

That was awesome- what a great combination for this song!!

[GWLAD]

who else would clapton pick but one of the best guitarists in the world knopfler and claptons legends

[ramenshino]

musicgasm

[AndyMayBee]

Most of the "new" music souds really old, thousand times heard poor melodies and arrangements, and boring like "lady" gaga, but for Eminem and some nicer new stuff like that.

[UKToneKing]

I hate it when people say CLAPTON is over rated, cause he clearly isn't, he is an amazing guitar player, an amazing song writer, and an amazing singer, so how the fck is he over rated, people like Joe satriani are amazing guitar player but he can not sing for toffee

[Gallkanal]

Mark is singing along with Eric with his guitar, so pure.

[ippys1997]

Katy Perry -Firework 1080p???Who the hell cares?Eric on 240p is at least 1 million times better !!!!

[These4Chords]

layla cheated on 4 ppl.

[exkluziv76]

thanks!

[aceflyer89]

Those guitars...probably had the biggest orgasms (combined) of all guitars in the worlds that night.

[pg1171]

WOW! Two GIANTS on one stage! Did the world stop spinning for a few minutes? I think I stopped breathing anyway! THANK YOU!!!

[adamastar84]

actually this is at the albert hall concert for Montserrat

but this is one awesome version

[SockRockets]

Those 4 disliker have no speakers on their computer.

[250mikelwhitlock]

i just cracked my knuckles to the rhythm of the song -__-

[DerChrissR]

@WaffleWithSoda You'll laugh. Hugh Laurie actually is an Blues musician. :D

[WaffleWithSoda]

Damn dr house can play the guitar

[cheesynounou]

I bet Mark is just winging it the whole song, just coming up with nice notes to play with Eric.

[crazydiamante]

Adoro queste collaborazioni musicali!!! ;-)

[InsaneaTann]

Clapton and Knofler, two of the greatest guitarists and songwiters ever.

[cybernyse]

what guitar is mark playing?

[fbevc]

@cybernyse Gibson LP

[shayAmon]

Show Him How its Done Mark !!



[GCLwins]

Clapton and Knopfler together - HELL, YEAH!

[EricCartmanstotch]

@GCLwins Hell Yeah from Holland wish Jimmy Hendrixx was still here 3 gods

[damnrightman13]

clapton looks like house

[sherry1613]

thank u - 2 legends on the same stage....wow

[zeus7]

MARK KNOPFLER AWESOME !!!!

[PredatorMarc]

4 people are gonna be punished...

[JacobsBrendan]

Knopfler doesn't know what to do because he has never had to play rhythm for someone as good as him. He wants to take over.

[FringeDivisionNY]

@JacobsBrendan lol you're comparing clapton to knopfler? hah you've never heard the majestic, passionate, unique playing, songwriting, composing of Mr Mark Knopfler.

[JacobsBrendan]

@FringeDivisionNY I have. I respect Knoplfer with every bone in my body for his playing, writing and passion for what he does. But I definitely think they are a good comparison. If you don't think so, you should look up some of Clapton's stuff. I like Clapton a little more because I have known of him longer and I like how he always goes back to the blues. Robert Johnson, Son House, etc. Check out his Crossroads guitar festival.

[FringeDivisionNY]

@JacobsBrendan I'm well aware of claptons work, I have several albums such as Riding with the king, Cream, and his work with the beatles and so on. I just feel Knopfler is more superior, i've seen both in concert several times here in NYC and Noone has moved me, like knopfler. When he played brothers in arms I felt time stop. His music has inspired me in so many ways, by the same token I respect your appreciation for clapton. Happy Holidays.

[JacobsBrendan]

@FringeDivisionNY If you have seen them in concert than I am sure you are right. It is one of my dreams to see either one of them live! Clapton is very skilled but he is definitely not as passionate about his music as Knopfler is. In some videos of Romeo and Juliet you can almost see Knopfler crying. Clapton is amazing but he plays guitar almost like it is a chore and he isn't enjoying it a lot. I can not imagine seeing Knopfler play Brothers in Arms live! Happy Christmas!

[deepcosmiclove]

@JacobsBrendan Knopfler isn't playing rhythm guitar here, he's playing an accompanying guitar; so what do you know? 

[taniajosefa]

great guitar players. great song. love how the lighting makes their hair purple. chapeau to you gentlemen. thank you for your dedication. you are two of my most favorite men in the whole wide world

[petegrierson]

....the Get a hearing aid

[pyhapieru]

still good but its the worse version of layla...

[petegrierson]

just jammin!! Feeling the beat>

[yagolex]

Here are the Gods with guitars... I'm just crying in silence

[nichegholm1]

3 people forgot to turn on their speakers while watching this

[marias1930]

lat make new leila ,and ....

[blazingnomad]

Because when you have Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfer playing Layla, that's what you should do. Clap your hands, and make this face ----> :|  ... Ungrateful people.

[blazingnomad]

@blazingnomad *Knopfler

[Firemax94]

Absolutely amazing.

[FransKnowsBest]

A little boring. 

[missalicia12say]

Used to think this song said "Hey love, got me on my knees" , Still love it even though it's Layla!

[pretorious700]

sorry, but this lounge version of a scintillating rock song makes me naseous. passion gone.

[Amoscus]

Seriously guys. Stop hating on new music. Everyone has their own taste, music is music. A real music fan would listen to all the world's music, from Beethoven to islandic power metal groups.

[ndzordz]

@Amoscus sorry..you said NEW MUSIC? Come on, the repeating of few notes through all the song (if I can say song) and computer-made rhythm drum (without life) and someone with voice like a donkey who THINKS he/she is singing? I have horrible voice but I still can be singer nowdays that's very easy. Listen to classical music and 50's 60's 70's 80's that's the real meaning of music, if you want to listen melody without life listen to new "music". Sorry but your comment irritated me.Have a nice day

[deepcosmiclove]

@ndzordz Hey man, Clapton wrote the song! He ought to know how to sing his own song. (I am reminded when the audience booed van Morrison when he sang Gloria).

[wlattkouzd]

@Amoscus Lol that's much shit in one comment. By your comment, I could tell that every noise I do is music. No one is dedicated to makeing music today. They just write whatever comes to their mind, make a beat, use audiotune and advertise it. The result is money. Which was not the case 20 years ago.

[karlitotito]

@Amoscus You are right - from Icelandic power metal to Beethoven , but Bieber is not between them :)

[EricCartmanstotch]

@Amoscus Right iam from Holland eric clapton and mark knopfller the best ever

[stendec73]

@Amoscus wow dude! I listen to all genres but ive never heard of Islandic Power Metal! Hook me up!

[Darith01745]

@Amoscus Well. Not really because most of today's music is either done with an auto tuned voice or..Computer composed tracks.

ZzZzzzZzzz...

[MrGotchababe]

@Amoscus but not to Justin Bieber... Oh right that's not even music.

[1rtwilson]

@Amoscus True. True. But new music is so commercial, I believe most of the time the 'artists' are not truly in it for the music, but just the fame, money and attention.

[UKToneKing]

@1rtwilson normaly that is the case with bands that have been put together, but bands like dire straits were formed by them selfs, and as I am a big knopfler fan I know he wrote all his own material and choose what to sing, he has never abused drugs or alcohol, so the ones that have made that choice it was not rammed down their throats, clapton sings from experience were as knopfler sings from experience but in a different way, knopfler sings a lot about working class and how he made ends meat

[GWLAD]

@UKToneKing well said from a true working class hero

[UKToneKing]

@1rtwilson most bands are your average bloke in the street as thats what bands are, normal lads struggling to get some were, but some of the singers you see have been put up their by some marketing manager, not many bands going round the uk that come from uperclass homes lol

[MakinMagicFractals]

@Amoscus Beethoven and Icelandic power metal groups are OK, but artificially created and over-hyoed boy-bands, girl-bands, Biebers and anyone else not writing their own material should be drowned in a sack !!

[zumpster]

@Amoscus What new music ?

[R260D]

@Amoscus why I should listen music which sucks?

[purpleskycalm]

saw these guys in the late 80's in the Washington D.C. area, it could not be stopped....the band, the audience were all firing on the same cylinders...the performance reached such a level of power and intimacy that Eric walks up to the mic. smiling from ear to ear and says, " I love you all" ....it was an exceptional evening.

[i91silvi]

Its like seeing to Gods together when you see them play Guitar. Love my man too play like that.

[philipos1978]

"Random and irrelevant hate comment about teen pop, hoping to reach top comments"

[Holz4xa]

@FlyMutiax It is an honest Les Paul Standard Sunburst from Gibson, a classic in this music.

[direclapton]

wtf !!! 3 people disliked this !!!! DO THEY HAVE EARS ???

[FrogSpatula42]

Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton in the same room. I'm surprised the roof didn't come off.

[15donagi]

@FrogSpatula42 and we are lucky he did'nt come off :)

[TheLAFORCEDUTEMPS1]

@FrogSpatula42

[mundane90]

SQUEALSSSS SQUEALLLLSSS SQUEALLLSSSSSS

[MrMura52]

microfony begining bat is ok. :) live and blood for mark and didre straits

[NekuRTStyle]

I love this. Yeah, I'm 14. Really, I love this.

[40carlosmc]

@NekuRTStyle im 2 years old

[microdon2]

Fantastic to see and hear these two together. Love the cool, low-key vibe. Just wish Knopfler's guitar was up a bit higher.

[siddharthjoshi91]

0:12 shows the respect the two legends have for each other.

[malcsowter280256]

GODS OF GUITAR

[igorbels]

Mark Knopfler is too low!



[ollimania1904]

unbelieveable! why dislike this 3 people :`(

[50L0NE]

two of my absolute favorite guitarplayers...at the same time <3

[FJSURUAGY]

The Two best guitar players ever!!!!!!



[rickyboyski]

diarstreats?

[jonesy77777]

Knopfler sounds like a beast on that burst, his chops are so fluid.

[MissMaviCanei]

@dokokai

Believe it or not, they're still people who grow older and mature. ;)

[bodenhenke]

Mark K is probably a better guitar bur Eris is God!

[TheMUSEism]

What on earth happened there at the start?! :o the LP and the monitor?

[dokokai]

I hate when rockers get older and start dressing conservatively in slacks, dress shirts and suits like corporate old men. So square!

[eatthisvr6]

what a beautifull rendition of an all time classic

for me 4 peoplw have made a guitar sing

hendrix

page

clapton

knopfler

no doubt there are a few (not many) who are better technically but when i listen to them 4 i feel it instead of hear it

[antiHUMANDesigns]

Eric Clapton is overestimated, imo. Mark Knopfler's the shit, though.

[leocmen]

@antiHUMANDesigns These guys have something you probably don´t understand: Their Guitars have Soul, Signature, personality. So, if you listen any song, anyone, performed by them, you know imediately tthey are playing. Just a few Guitar Players reached this point, and when you get there, speed does not matter, mechanics does not matter, technique does not matter: The Guitar sings for you, you are the guitar, and the guitar is you... Two of the best of all time.

[antiHUMANDesigns]

@leocmen I have played guitar for 18 years. I was brought up with B.B. King and Gary Moore. I know about the soul of it. I just think eric clapton is overrated. Mark Knpfler is really awesome, though.

[leocmen]

@antiHUMANDesigns Forgive me, initially I did not understand you position.

But I totally agree with you, Mark is much more unique, stylish and striking in his execution. People will rant and complain about what I will say: Knopfler is far away ahead of Clapton ... I think Knopfler pays the price for having chosen, after Dire Straits, his own musical life, in a more intimate and less appealing way.

[antiHUMANDesigns]

@leocmen Yes, I agree completely. Ye, knopfler has done some good and some bad stuff in his solo career. I remember buying his "Golden Heart" record when it came out, thinking it'd be like dire straits, and it was kind of bad apart from a few songs. But some of his later stuff have been better, so I don't know. I just listen to the old stuff.

[leocmen]

@antiHUMANDesigns well ... Although he changed his musical style in his solo career, as a guitar performer, his signature is unmistakable. Knopfler is one of the most Distinctive guitarists of all time. When he hits the first few notes you know who it is.

[dyedinsoul]

bow your head ... and pay respect

[Quackelticki]

you want guitar -heroes? Here they are!

[soadkotera]

I dislike it....(head explodes)

[destihado1]

Knopfler's solo is so... sweet. Can't find any better words. It melts icebergs.

[lunarubenjr]

i grew up loving clapton, older parents and siblings

[FederixHF]

1 fan of justin biebier

[maciejas1410]

@FederixHF You mean 1 justin bieber ;)

[FederixHF]

@maciejas1410 yes ;) 

[quimerahass]

genial

[xerpenta]

Who dislikes it?!? :)) Solo is pure Knopfler, as always. Amazing

[bratgrzyb]

@oneylaaan - i think tokio hotel should be banned xd

they are incredible and their music is immortal

[TwinPeaksish]

pure brilliance

[frank6717]

What do they say at/from 0:23

[xxCuzwerockxx]

Gah, their both amazing...

[thabilas]

Masterpiece solo.. and song of course

[Mrgunvad]

verdens klasse

[cheesingg]

i love this version.i found it as mp3 format and i coudnt find the video.now ive found it 8D

[oneylaaan]

these two guys are so great.stupid teen bands like jonas brothers or tokio hotel etc. shouldn't even be allowed to listen to these legends

[fenixlespaulcustom]

might help tho ?

[hapykiller999]

@oneylaaan oh they should just to se what real music and real artists are

[The12Child]

@oneylaaa shouldn't even be allowed to be called "bands"

[JRFproductions]

@oneylaaan but these two guys are so great, they deserve to be listened to by everyone.

[toniostyl]

@oneylaaan

I know those guys are "old" legends and nowadays music is probably not as great as it used to be (Idk I wasn't there)

But there used to be lots of "stupid teen bands" years ago. So people should stop saying that music is bad today by pointing out bands like those, it doesn't make sense.

Plus we have tons of great recent bands and artists today if you'd only care: the Red hot chili Peppers, Coldplay, Adele, Amy Whinehouse, Alicia Keys...

[siddharthjoshi91]

@toniostyl

hardly any of them is a rock band. Apart from Coldplay who do we have today. The age of rock is dead now and music has gone back to the Dark Ages.

[theSicilianToe]

@siddharthjoshi91 i love that you mention coldplay lol. I think modern rock has its place. i like a lot of songs from maroon 5, creed, nickleback, etc. theres a certain sound there. but nothing remotely like Mark Knopfler is liable to come around anymore. music doesnt seem to need these gems because its so easy to compose now with computers. practically anybody can be a one hit wonder. even though I hate screamo and death metal you should check out children of bodom. great guitars there!

[adityadragons]

@toniostyl RHCP and Coldplay?? great bands?? by what standards?

[ludwigdrummers]

@adityadragons by mine....
