DogSwede1 rules Youtube! Your tapes makes my day every day...

By the way: Rolling Stones Magazine don't have a freakin' clue when it comes to ranking guitarists.

I agree about that magazine.

I do & will love this version of Sultans of Swing till I fucking die, and beyond... it's perfect in any way. Thanks a million for uploading !

I remember that night in June 88 ... Dire Straits was still my all time favourite band, far, far away from any other band. There was 20 minutes of pure bliss when they played Sultans and, right after, Romeo & Juliet ... I was blown away ! What a sound, what a nice music !

But that was over the top, that was just too perfect to be done again : Knopfler "died" that night. When I hear to what he does now (since 95) ... I just turn off the radio. Live, he's even worst than on record.

@apribo couldn't agree more about the magazine thing. MK is my all time favourite..
