Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (The original '78 single version) music video

Thanks for the 100,000+ views!

Seen comments complaining about the sound quality on this video. I understand it but this is a very rare studio recording that you can now find only on old cassettes (so it needed a bit of search).

@smokeyhaze1000 Sweetie, this is a fucking live video from 1978. You know 1978? It's the year Space Invaders launched a craze for video games, also the year John Paul II was nominated Pope, also the year the Bee Gees released 'Staying Alive'. So, can you fucking imagine how old is this shit? Do you want that good, equalized, normalized, ultra-loud but free of noises sound? So GO LISTEN FUCKING JUSTIN BIEBER and stop complaining.

Awesome, awesome video. It's amazing to see Mark's unique (and rather bizarre) playing style. Noticed that they're playing half tone up to give that extra energy boost on the song. Just amazing.

Haters, stop complaining about the sound quality. This shit was recorded on 1978, mthfckers. 1-9-7-8.

Dire Straits never ceases to amaze me on their talent.

Pois é... a gurizada se ocupa bastante da qualidade do som. Quem nasceu depois do digital, e sobretudo se não gravou nos anos 70 e 80, não consegue entender direito isso da qualidade - faz-se melhor que isso em casa, hoje em dia. Eu tinha visto as imagens mas com o som da versão do primeiro disco. Fiquei feliz de encontrar o audio original e poder curtir os caras tocando ao vivo e num palco pequeno, sem PA e sem over dubs. É o que era a banda mesmo. Do caralho. Obrigado pela postagem.

I guess kids today forget there was no such thing as digital recording back in the seventies. It still sounds good and brings back memories.
