Mark Knopfler - Expresso Love - Live

Mark Knopfler performing Expresso Love live on 9-30-85, with Steve Jordan on drums. Song from Dire Strait's 3rd album, released in 1980, Making Movies. Always loved the line "I was made to go with this girl, like a sax-o-phone, was made, to go with the night".

You got to be kidding, obviously you haven't seen much of Sid McGinnis. I respect Mark Knopfler, I just had to speak out for Sid. Sid is a phenomenal guitarist. Obviously he had to take a back seat to Knopfler, he's the guest. Sid has toured and/or recorded with numerous artists including Barry Manilow, Peter Gabriel, Carly Simon, Dire Straits, Robert Fripp, The Sisters Of Mercy, Cool It Reba, Laurie Anderson, David Lee Roth, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel and others.

This late-night band was Paul Schaffer best band...I haven't seen this since the one time on Letterman...Great posting!

[mickd01]

Agree with you completely. Will Lee on bass and Steve Jordan playing drums. I really liked Steve Jordan's drumming on Keith Richards X-Pensive Winos albums and live. Always thought Sid McGinnis was an excellent guitarist, can't compare him to Mark Knopfler but he does trade licks with Mark pretty well on this video. Thanks for the comment!

I like that he uses a pick in this song :) Also in so far away :)

[mickd01]

Hey Leksingen, you have some great guitar playing on YouTube. Couldn't have a better influence on guitar than Mark Knopfler. Didn't know that about "So Far Away", really like that song, one of my favorites on Brothers in Arms.

pick playing on" so far away "--all wrong-- its a classic finger magic technic song

[anurag19911]

Great to see him use a pick for a change.

@mickd01 I think Sid played on the Making Movies album which contained Expresso Love.

I remember watching this particular show..incredibly tight with the band. Check out how much fun they are having with the legend.

[Buuaaaaa]

This is top ten stuff at Letterman.
