  • OMG! he pulled it off at 5:46!! (guitar & keyboard)...and the drummer?! (if and an old box is all he can afford-when he gets up under the lights to play his thing) lol... Amazing! Thank you. I've been listening/viewing this song from the "Live Alchemy concert" for days now and coming here to see this improvised version... You buys rocked it! Very good.

  • Nice!

  • not good enough balanced, but it sounds like a good cover.

    i like the vocal harmony you make right before the chorus.

  • Yeahman, good stuff, keep it up boys, great playing - nice one

  • nice ;)

  • As a self taught musician I admire this song because it was the catalyst for my abilities. It inspired me enough to pick up a guitar after I mastered the keyboard. The song is over 25 years old and in my opinion Knopfler has the bar set - untouched. Great video guys, loved the vocals/harmonies. Lead guitar was spot on. Would've loved a proper drum kit in there but you were in a living room not a studio and it kept you in time and was accurate. Thanks for sharing - I think you did DS justice :)

  • That was very nice.

    Well done guys.

  • nice

  • Well done...it sounds great.

  • Good job guys... keep it up !!!

  • I think you pulled it off boys - well done - its not perfect but its still ok - good enough to play live - good harmonizing on vocals too - good luck

  • I red your e-mail and i decided to listen to you. this is great!! well done!

  • well done!

  • Great job, guys ! : ) I'm encouraging my two little brothers, age 12 & 14 - to learn MK's way of playing the guitar. I'm no musician myself, but I ask you to pay special attention to MK's 'climax build-up' & composition. Again, you did a great job .)

  • Great job lads. True to the original yet still unique. Love the guitar work. Greetings from Down Under.
