fuk this shit i expected eric to take a solo, i dont think knopfler can pull of a long solo like say clapton or hendrix

I've always considered this song in my top 10 of "all time greatest rock songs" ever (VH1 is crazy). This performance put it top 3.

When younger generations ask me about "older " great music (incredible how good music filters through the generations), I send them to this for the 80's.
