mr. mark knopfler is a guitar god....really hats off to him....i just wish wid my whole of heart that may he always shine like that n live a long...all hail to mark
great great, i can't get enough of it. I think we don;t get such great guitarplayer anymore. Nowadays the show and look counts, but music.. Mark is one of the best examples of great music without show.
Bought their first album in 78.....Saw them live in Melbourne in 82 and the Brothers in Arms Tour of 86 Which i attended a few times... Saw MK receive a standing ovation at the Melbourne Tennis Centre in 2004........ His fingers defied gravity and his music from "Local Hero" was beautiful.
The man is amazing. I believe he was still recovering from a motorcycle accident when he performed in '05. One of the best guitar players ever. Top 10 for sure.
I love the look on his face as he listens through the headphones and hears something he liked or a mistake everyone missed at 4:35. How awesome this is as he just keeps getting better.
Absolutely amazing!!! I saw it in Poland in May 2005 and I still cannot forget it. That red Fender in his magic hands. Real masterpiece. Thanks for posting it, my favourite guitarist ever
I agree, Mark may look his age (60 this year!) but he plays better each year and with each tour. Going to be a sad time when he does finally call it a day, but he will leave a huge legacy of timeless music. He is one of the finest, if not the finest guitarists of our generation.
This man, his music, and that dam fine guitar style, are effectivly the soundtrack to the best monets of my life so far. Cannot wait to see him next year in London. I only wish the younger generation that im in, would appreciate the genius of his songwriting and skill, and not just call it 'old dads music'
Geeze people....58 is hardly OLD. You all are aware that we can easily live to be a century? When I was younger, that age "looked" old. Not so now. I look and feel great, thank you very much, and I'm 56. If anything, Mark is more mellow and beautiful than ever. Much comfort comes with time...a wonderful thing!
If God one day decided to come down to earth, and say: "You have been a faithful servant and I'm pleased with how you lived your life.. Ask of Me anything and it shall be yours..." I wouldn't think twice about my answer: MAKE ME ALMOST AS AWESOME AS MARK KNOPFLER!!
Time will bring down everything ultimately...But even though a little of spring still clings (somehow desperately) to these golden fingers..This will be remembered in our frozen hearts when everything else is forgotten...sigh
Its amazing that a song about SULTANS OF SWING.. who are some cool cats, WHO JUST DIG ROCK AND ROLL, have to take hits from someone who cant even imagine writing a song with this depth and longevity. WHO cares if Mark does not do visuals! THIS SONG is all about being COOL, which does not require dancing for others to see.
Esse carinha que gravou isso esta de parabens, da pra ver o sacrificio. Beleza, maravilha, é o nosso rock and roll, e pelo que o neguinho esta escrendo abaixo Sr. Mark Knopfler esta comemorando os seus 60 year´s age. É mole?? Parabenssss. beautifull. Ah, ainda bem que guitarista não adquire tendinite, senão... oh nois..na roça
Mark will play in Atlanta, GA on July 29, 2008. What a thrill. I hope he makes it through his tour, he'll play EVERYWHERE! Russia, Australia, North Carolina, just to name a few. Turkey, some Asia, his official site has the schedule so far confirmed.
still goin strong!!!!! I'd like to see a rapper try n do a concert in his 70s or whatever. LOL Fail The 70s and 80s were the greatest for rock, the 90s for dance and today for trance. Mark will be my fav and this song is on my top 10 favs list
So what if he's old what an ignorant! that has nothing to do , he's a legend he's got great songs and the most important this great solo that will aways be a classic
guys, MK is great. This is a relaxed version of Sultans, showing MK not taking himself too seriously. He accepts being older, is nevertheless still unique with his finger picking and, most of all, he has no need for demonstrating anything to anybody
True - i think they perform it out of duty sometimes, but other times if you`re feeling the vibe, old worn songs are cool. And they don`t get cooler than Sultans! Mark looks disinterested at times, but then the playing is exceptional.
Great of course, but I think he just still play this song for us, he doesn't get anything out from this at all. The energy is gone if you compare this with the Straits era. And I think he really needed a break from this song during the Emmylou Harris tour, because he looked a bit happier during this tour, even if the solos are far better here. :) :)
Mark is 56 or 57 here, I know he is a couple of years younger than me, I am 62 now. Like me he is still young inside, Love the guy (not in a sexual way) and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
This is a perfect example of how rock is not about pretending, modeling or trying to act "cool". It's about great music, and THIS is a great song performed bya one of my favorite artist. If you wanna see a performer screaming jumping and fooling around and pretending, go listen to Camp Rock or Hanna Motana, don't wase your time here.
Just walking arround, looking over here, looking over there. Calm as always. The guy is briliant!!
mr. mark knopfler is a guitar god....really hats off to him....i just wish wid my whole of heart that may he always shine like that n live a long...all hail to mark
You can have the best tecnique in the workd. But you'll never get even close to Mark Knopfler's style. Thank you again, Mark! Great performance.
I love you Mark! You are the best singer/guitar player/songwriter in the world.
great great, i can't get enough of it.
I think we don;t get such great guitarplayer anymore.

The hair and headband is gone, but the rest is definately still there. Gotta love Mark!
Mark will be 58 on August 12, 2007. Thank heavens he's still got it, What a musician!
He's still got it! I could watch Mark play guitar all day long.
Mark and his guitar are a legend. Never gets old.
The man is amazing. I believe he was still recovering from a motorcycle accident when he performed in '05. One of the best guitar players ever. Top 10 for sure.
Thank you very much. Excellent Video!!
Mark is the greatest guitarist and an excellent songwriter from the wold. *****
Mark Knopfler is the best !!!!
I love the look on his face as he listens through the headphones and hears something he liked or a mistake everyone missed at 4:35. How awesome this is as he just keeps getting better.
HAPPY 58TH BIRTHDAY, MARK...LOVE YA.
The Master,the only,M.Knopfler
He's in a class of his own. And talent is there or not, that's nothing to do with age.
The best solo guitar ever...awesome
Thanks for filming and sharing this with millions of his enthusiasts. The man is simply a genius and a legend.

Absolutely amazing!!! I saw it in Poland in May 2005 and I still cannot forget it. That red Fender in his magic hands. Real masterpiece. Thanks for posting it, my favourite guitarist ever

I have to love the rock stars that just keep going to the end of their days. Mark is definitely one of them. A true legend of rock and roll.

MAKE ME ALMOST AS AWESOME AS MARK KNOPFLER!!
Yeah, I was also at this concert. It's a memory that will stay with me forever.
I despise the fools who cant appreciate what music is, and always should be. Food for the soul
Thankyou so much for posting this!
An awesome song, great quality!
Getting older ... But he can do whatever he wants with a strat in the hand
Time will bring down everything ultimately...But even though a little of spring still clings (somehow desperately) to these golden fingers..This will be remembered in our frozen hearts when everything else is forgotten...sigh

great!!!!!
He's 61, and plays way better than any fuckin punk of 13 or 31.
he always does that arm gesture after he finishes the solo!
wacking it after 30 + years lucky guy nice leads sweet
A genius !
guys, MK is great. This is a relaxed version of Sultans, showing MK not taking himself too seriously. He accepts being older, is nevertheless still unique with his finger picking and, most of all, he has no need for demonstrating anything to anybody

Mark RULES !
That dude makes it look so effortless
First time I saw him without hair. Still rocking with that cool pro classy style. Who put his mic that high? He stretches to sing.
oh my holy god .... u're a lucky !!!!
Mark IS Dire Straits!
i think i am in love with Mark.. And now that he is older his voice is sooo sexy... and what about THAT guitar :X
This is his signature fender stratocaster!
YEEEEH!
pulled the dust off that old red strat friend!
Great of course, but I think he just still play this song for us, he doesn't get anything out from this at all. The energy is gone if you compare this with the Straits era. And I think he really needed a break from this song during the Emmylou Harris tour, because he looked a bit happier during this tour, even if the solos are far better here. :) :)
He aint past his best YET!!!!!
Mark is 56 or 57 here, I know he is a couple of years younger than me, I am 62 now. Like me he is still young inside, Love the guy (not in a sexual way) and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
is about real music that some punks/cowboys will never understand...
This is a perfect example of how rock is not about pretending, modeling or trying to act "cool". It's about great music, and THIS is a great song performed bya one of my favorite artist.

solo my god!
