The fact Mark Knopfler was ranked around 75th in The Rolling Stone top 500 guitarists of all-time last year is just criminal.
Rolling stone mag is a joke
Everyone knows he is Top 10 and to me he is in second behind Jimi.
they didnt even include Gary moore, piss takers
Well said couldn't agree more
Indeed.
Mark and his magical guitars. It doesn't get any better. Dire Straits at the top of their game. Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best bands ever! They were totally unique and there was nothing else like them….. and their musicianship is absolutely top notch!
This is not a simply concert, this is pure art, pure simphony, pure feeling on stage. Dire Straits at their best!
Mark guitars sound is simply unique, every single note make a million of emotions.
Great reaction guys, onece again! Love you so much!
Agreed
I agree. I just think this band still is underappreciated. I keeping digging into their catalogue, and it transcends music
It is just so artfully done and masterfully put together and the virtuosity of the musicians.
One of my favorite Dire Straits songs. I love how it first sounds like an old western story but when you listen to the lyrics, it's really a modern one.
One of my faves too. We played it in a cover band. When the groove was right we had a blast playing it.
I have always said that what makes MK so special is that he weaves his solos in with the rest of the band. It's not "listen to me", it's "let me enhance this great music"! Yet, as many have said, he is one of the very few that you know who it is from the very first note.
Best version ever. You will find it on Dire Straits Live Alchemy. One of the best Live Albums ever produced.
His solos aren't just solos in like so many other songs, they're part of the fabric of the song .. I love it
So true. Well put. He is always adding licks to accentuate his words or create a sound picket with his band members. Amazing!
I love Mark’s laid back unique style of music and voice.
It's liquid gold every single note that comes out of that fucking guitar
Mark knew he got that nice riff down perfectly, you can see it in his face.
This started out as maybe my 3rd favourite track from this live show but it's probably my number one now. The atmosphere of it is just flawless.
As a 64 year old Londoner, I have seen Dire Straits 6 times in London, once in Dublin, Ireland, and once in Rotterdam, Holland. The band were just outstanding on stage! Mark Knopfler is a perfectionist, both in Guitar styles and lyric writing. This was a great review-reaction piece of this song. I was at this 'Alchemy Tour' concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, in 1993 and three days later flew to Dublin to see them at The Point theatre. It was a great experience to see the band preform live. Something I will never forget.
This DS Song is based around the 1968 Western film 'Once Upon a Time in the West' directed by Sergio Leon, and the music score was by Ennio Morricone. This is where the imitation 'Flute' sound occurs at the beginning and towards the end of this DS song to emulate Morricone's main film music score.
I wish I could post the ticket receipts to prove it to you both. The venue stewards would not allow us to stand during the performances, but I'm somewhere in the audience!! I hope you can get to see Mark Knopfler in concert sometime, he's just amazing to see him play live. Many Thanks for the memories!!🥰🥰
Another great reaction to another epic Dire Straits performance. I love this version. Every song they played that night was gold. Probably my favourite concert of all time. Keep up the great work guys!
Telegraph road from this same concert is the ultimate dire straits song.
A 10/10 totally recommended, is like all the styles of dire straits condensed into one beautoful story and melody
Part of the storytelling is his guitar which has an equal voice. His lyrics and voice are amazing and tell an extraordinary story of the not old but present American West. His guitar gives detail, emotion and depth that no singer could ever bring.
Alchemy was a fantastic concert/album.
That is an understatement. Sound quality and videography for the time is amazing. Of course the Band is just insane! Good stuff!
Your smiles say everything about this masterpiece 😅
I absolutely love how you 2 have become such Dire Straits fans. Welcome to the club. We hooked you! Nobody spunds like Mark. The band is amazing!
MK is so smooth, so cool, so confident, so ridiculously good!
My favorite song of all time bar none. Especially this version When I first bought this album I literally had to take a break after each song to let it soak in. Best album ever in my opinion.
🙏Their music, and Mark's guitar, just transports me... 😊
It is very unique, Soo Soo different.
@@davidfeltz8697 I've always been a huge DS fan, but this particular track is now also part of my nightly 'chill out' play list. 😉Fun Fact: Mark is actually left handed, making it all the more impressive that he does what he does whilst FINGER-PLUCKING with his right hand!
Keep up the dire straits they are truly wonderful whenever they play.
They had such a range of sounds, such variety of music and words and i cant think of a single song of theirs i dont like.
So many great song by Dire Straits. Thanks for another great reaction.
"The guitar is the lyrics" is a beautiful way to describe Mark's guitar :D
Wow… you picked one of my favorite bands and songs… thank u very much!!!
What a great reaction. This live version is fantastic.
Absolutely stunning performance. Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler will just give you more joy the more you listen to more songs.
Best most perfect live concert ever.
Thank you so much for giving love to these amazing Dire Straits songs and performances. The band at this time was amazing and Mark Knopfler is surely one of the greatest guitar players to ever play the instrument
Hey, you two. Another wonderful reaction. I love the look on Domenica's face every time you listen to DS, the wonder and the incredulity. Happens to me, too, every time. Onwards to Private Investigations and Calling Elvis (both to be found live in "On the Night, 1993" I think). You won't be disappointed. Warmest regards from Portugal.
And just in case you don't know, DS (more specifically, Mark) wrote the soundtrack for a fabulous movie called "Local Hero" which plays (mostly) in Scotland and has Burt Lancaster in it. Worth watching and listening. Quite extraordinary.
Wag the dog with Dustin Hoffmann and Robert DeNiro, too
Great Satire😂
He's also responsible for the music on the Princess Bride
This is my travel song, whenever I start a long car journey, I always start with alchemy and this song is first up. It just eats up the miles.
You say about the guitar sounding unique that's because of the finger picking not many guitarist's do it
Good choice , amazing reaction .
Appreciate your reaction for their song: On Every Street it is so beautiful .
Once upon a time in the West, 1968, had Claudia Cardinale in a role. Like many other female Italian film stars, Claudia Cardinale's entry into the business was by way of a beauty pageant. She was 17 years old and studying at the Centro Sperimentale in Rome when she entered a beauty contest, which resulted in her getting a succession of small film roles.
Once Upon a Time in the West (Italian: C'era una volta il West, "Once upon a time (there was) the West") is a 1968 epic spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone, who co-wrote it with Sergio Donati based on a story by Dario Argento, Bernardo Bertolucci and Leone. It stars Henry Fonda, cast against type as the villain, Charles Bronson as his nemesis, Jason Robards as a bandit and Claudia Cardinale as a newly widowed homesteader. The widescreen cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli and the acclaimed film score was by Ennio Morricone. Wikipedia plus.
You're right, like a course menu in a star restaurant: amuse-gueule appetizers, intermediate course, main course, dessert❤
I am enjoying inmensely your reactions. I remember listening to this version in my dad's car at the tender age of 5. Lifelong fan since then
One of my all time fav albums and track. Brilliant. Thank you
Thankh you for love the best band in the world
The best versions - last tour (2019) with the biggest tour band. More powerful, versatile, and sophisticated. What a great musician!
I love it when people who have never listened to certain music explore it. And are surprised by how good it is! I am 56. Grew up on this in the 80s. So nice that there is a younger audience that enjoys it too! :) keep up the good work :) Love the smiles. When you hear good music, you know it. And three cheers for the instrumental break. millennials haven't a clue what it is! 🤣 Great job.
Very few guitarists can tell a story like Mark Knoppler😊
It's a big pleasure see your reactions.hughs from Tecate, Baja California, México. 11:16
Love your dire straits reactions!
Beautiful.
It's been wonderful to watch Mr Knopler evolve
He is more of a storyteller now but his guitar playing is still present
One of my favorite songs is News must admit studio version is all I've heard ....
From a gent who is 74 ...❤
Mark Knopfler does not use guitar picks, he uses just his fingers to play.
Hey guys love your reactions as always. This performance is so good. It's one of my favorites along with Calling Elvis and Private Investigations from DIRE STRAITS Live ON THE NIGHT 1993. It's the same concert with the beautiful Brothers In Arms performance you reacted to. Loving your channel. All the best Cheers 😊🎸🎸🎸
The studio album version of this is cool too, it has a real reggae vibe to it
The lady says she doesn't know how he does it and then she describes it perfectly. 'His voice is the melody and the guitar is like the lyrics'
Yep! Her reaction is great and dead on!
Amazing reaction guys! Its really nice to see you enjoying this beautiful song. You definitely hit the nail on the head with your comments - spot on! Their music is really magical and so, so tight. Unfortunately its something that will never be seen again, and that is really sad 😢 Love what you do and keep reacting to a few more straits from time to time 👍
Dire Straits are my favourite band, and you are my favourite reactors! I would love to see your reaction to their live version of Ride Across the River from 1986. It is just as chilled as this one. All the best.
If its Sydney Final Concert 1986 you're referring to, I totally agree. It's an awesome opening to this incredible final concert of that tour.
Can't wait for you guys to do Private Investigations from this show.
Mark Knopfler plucks his guitar strings with his fingers, he doesn't use a guitar pick like most rock guitarists. Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac does the same technique. So I think Mark's guitar playing can flow more, and he can play very gently when he needs to.
Once upon a time in the west you had gunslingers...Mark is the guitarslinger in this song/masterpiece 😄
You have excellent taste 🖤
This is one of a handful of live albums I grew up with.
I really do not know how Mark Knopfler can play those cords or singles without even looking at the neck of his guitar.😵
Chords, not cords, sorry.🙄
Because he’s mastered it and is an absolute genius
Reggae vibes yaso!! 😮😢😊😊 Mark has rhythm on tap!!❤😂😊😊
Thanks …next please - Private Investigation , live ..1993 on the night
AND TERRY WILLIAMS (DIRE STRAITS) "WHAT A FANTASTIC DRUMMER"
This is DS Signed and sealed!! You might even get a bullet from the peacekeeping uniform.
Brilliant choise.
Omg , great choice great reaction...please react to Dire Straits " ROMEO AND JULIET " from Alchemy Live....a beautiful love song, the Dire Straits way!
+
Just vibin' they were; a really great performance.
I love that you recognize his guitar is a separate voice
I really like you guy's reactions. Always something insightful to say. Back in 1985 I was working in Qatar and my brother sent me the Alchemy double tape. A great analogy comparing this to a fabulous meal, something you don't want to stop. This song was my go to pick on our day off, a Friday, to play in the car as I drove from Doha to the beach across the country at Dukhan. This tune always reminds me of these days which were, unbelievably, nearly 40 years ago
It’s taken you this long to discover dire straits !! Shocking !!!
Another great reaction they have so many great tunes one of my favorites is Private Investigations if you get the chance to listen to it, it's brilliant best heard live though.
Nice reaction guys, for me the greatest concert I've listened to. Every song is a masterpiece. You can even now just go to the second song, Expresso Love, little known but so powerful. Today is Mark's 74th birthday, one of the greatest musical minds of our generation.
Mark is such an underrated guitarist 🎸 😅
Underrated? By whom? He's one of the most respected ones to be honest
@@ekstradycja It's like "first", every comment page has at least one "underrated" comment. So regular you can make a drinking game out of it.
The best ever
Firstly, I’d just like to say that MK is not just an inimitable guitarist!! ! He’s also a beautiful singer/songwriter/wordsmith/lyricist, composer, & producer. .To say MK is ‘underrated’ is just your opinion, but I’m assuming you’re referring to the lack of input from the greedy little world of pop music, Rolling Stone and other out of touch so-called music aficionados, whose accolades I’m not sure MK is interested in. (e.g. He did not to show up with his previous band mates at the DS induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018). However, I feel ‘underrated’ kind of undermines MK’s actual decades long accomplishments. He has a long list of awards and honors with and apart from DS (but as someone who loves success, but decries fame, he is both humble and self deprecating so doesn’t really draw attention to these). He has been praised in endless formats by a great many of his professional peers, including his accomplished band mates/musicians. He made 6 albums with DS (during which time he also wrote movie scores, and played with The Notting Hillbillies). He also played and produced with and for other music legends including Bob Dylan. Not to mention the 3 x Grammy awards with his hero & friend the late, great Chet Atkins, & his collaborative Albums with Emmy Lou Harris, 9 Movie Soundtracks & 9 MK Solo Albums. I think the real proof in the pudding of his NOT being underrated is the continuing love for him and his music demonstrated by millions of worldwide fans still following and listening to DS and in turn MK Solo music (that encompasses the whole gamut of age groups). I❤MK
Great reaction❤

Thank-you for such a wonderful reaction to a fantastic song. Such an under reacted performance.
one of these boys in the crowd - well, that's me and my friends 50 years ago.
Si on dissocié bb king, jimi hendrix, Eric clarpton, Gary moor. Je ne vois pas pourquoi Marc Knopfler est 75 ème parmi les 500 meilleurs guitaristes au monde. Ses séries de guitare dans les chansons : sultans of swing, once upon a time in the west, father and son/hill farmers Blues, telegraph road et autres sont considérés par les meilleurs chanteurs du monde comme des merveilles de la musique contemporaine. Mes enfants sont nés dans les premières années de 2000 et ils adorent les morceaux de Dire Straits et de Mark Knopfler
(Yes; Once upon a time in the West - 1968 Sergio Leone movie, Ennio Morricone music)
Once is not custom, I prefer the version of the album
Its so different from the original in 79 when dire straits had no keyboards till 1980 when it was just guitar and drums i actually like this live version better i also play it on the hammond organ in my spare time so satisfying 😊
Paco de Lucía - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Marc Knopfler and Damiàn Salazar los 4 mejores guitarristas de la historia
Fantastic!!!❤❤❤
Hello there you lovely folks! Just wanted to say that I am so looking forward to when you begin your journey with 'The Carpenters'.Please.
THE HEAD & ARM BAND IS JUST TO CATCH SWEAT FROM SPOT LIGHTS
Domenica is quite right. Mark is more like a narrator with his voice. His guitar is the vocalist! I love his intricate embroideries with his guitar.
Sounds like another 1 of their songs "in the gallery".
Listen to this song in 2019.
the "flute" was a synthesizer keyboard.
Amo a Knopfler y compañía,es fácil hacerlo, hay un pequeño dato poco conocido, él es zurdo,como Hendrix,por poner un ejemplo, pero toca la guitarra de diestros,es decir,su mano principal está en el mástil en vez del cuerpo, desconozco si hay algún otro guitarrista que toque con la mano cambiada,por así decirlo,es un pequeño dato...da igual, crea una atmósfera maravillosa en su música
❤❤❤
John illsley makes this song greater. Guitar is great but bass is amazing.
(RIDE ACROSS THE RIVER) "PLEASE" DIRE STRAITS
In his solo concerts Mark does this song with a full Ennio Morricone intro ruclips.net/video/wB7LNZyEpMk/видео.html
Is that Mark's northeast England accent I hear in this song ... especially when he sings the word "time?" Any Brits listening?
Love you guys, but you must must must do a first time reaction to mark knofler 5:15
Do Sailing to Philadelphia.
HE WEARS THE HEADBAND & WRISTBAND CAUSE HE SWEATS A LOT WITH THE HEAT FROM THE SPOTLIGHTS
The studio version is better in my opinion, for a first listen anyway.
mark knopfler is for me the best guitarist with gilmour and clapton
please do this : Eric Clapton - Old Love (amazing live version) . Thank you .
You i love dire stratis but the live versions are all so fast and i think that they take away the feeling of the original song.
Rolling stone, so wrong. Knophler is in a league that would include very few. Gilmour, eric johnson, atkins, jerry reed, earl klugh, benson and maybe a few others, but it would be a short list of the best ever, each with their own unmistakable signature style and sound. Period.
