Dire Straits - Private Investigations

Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed by Mark Knopfler (vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion), and managed by Ed Bicknell, active between 1977 and 1995. Although the band was formed in an era when punk rock was at the forefront, Dire Straits played a more conventional style, albeit with a stripped-down sound that appealed to audiences weary of the overproduced stadium rock of the 1970s. In their early days, Mark and David requested that pub owners turn down their sound so that patrons could converse while the band played, an indication of their unassuming demeanor. Despite this oddly self-effacing approach to rock and roll, Dire Straits soon became hugely successful, with their first album going multi-platinum globally.

Gracias por subir este video, me ha encantado, aunque la razon por la cual me entere de su existencia es por la gimnasta Alina Maksymenko, sin duda es esta clase de musica la que deseo escuchar, y con esto amplio mi busqueda de sonidos particulares y extasiante.

Saludos camarada y sigue asi.

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. So many of Dire Straits songs are pure genius, but didn't get the recognition they deserved. Love over Gold, Wild West End to name a couple etc. Credit too to the recording & mastering. They didn't stuff up the recording, like so many other CD's have been. This music beats so much of the current day rubbish they play today. Thanks for the upload.

@ZLKYass its cause Justin Bieber's inspiration was to become famous, the Straits didn;t give a fuck, Knofpler crafted his musical art and transcribed it straight from the soul, not some meaningless whiny shit meshed with a catchy beat to swoon prepubescent teens and

menopausal housewives.

I'm tired of Justin Beiber comments and really don't care about what he's doing coz i don't listen to that kind of shitty music but it's really incomprehensible that Dire stratis & Mark Knofpler aren't famous but Beiber is !
