I really think MK has captured the lyrical quality of the guitar more than any other musician. I feel like he is engaging in a musical version of "conversing" or "story-telling". That is why MKs playing is so engrossing.

Have to agree with oztish, this version does seem a bit rushed and ragged. I've listened to them all & his performance in the '92 Nimes concert remains my favorite -- so smooth. Still, this version shows just how deft his fingerwork is, despite the pace, or maybe because of it. I agree with the rest of you, an absolute genius guitarist and composer. An international treasure... For utter artistry, you must hear his opening of "Planet of New Orleans" if you haven't already - magnificent!

It's all to do with being fashionable or blowing smoke up their arses for the publicity. Not really mark's thing....

Yeah! I'm a big Knopfler's fan!!!

big BIG tune

Strange to read in some guitar magazines that Knopfler is not listed best guitarist.
Probably some journalists missed some concerts. Lucky them, Mark is on the road every 2 years now so don't miss him.

One of my all time fave songs. I agree with a previous poster - they have played this far too fast for my liking. Sounds too rushed.

What a pity...I'm just a music listener.
I love all kind of good music...esp string music, so guitar & violin are my lovers. As an older MK fan, I'm glad to know there are many young buddies all around the world loving his tasteful music. Thanks for your comment.
