Im not being nasty but i have heard better covers from pub bands.

Not a bad try by John Illsley. I give him grade A for the effort, but as far as sounding authentic it was lacking. Some of the Dire Strait tribute bands imitate Mark more accurately and sound more like Dire Straits. One more thing - Illsley's style of singing does not match this song. Nevertheless it was not a bad performance. The reason I may be a bit harsh in my criticism is because I have heard Mark play this so many times and somehow this one did not reach my expectations.

You know what.... He sings very well but this time he did it way too emotional ... this song has a completely different message.... I prefer him as a bassist. Don't you think same?
