THANK YOU for this wonderful song Sir MK.

In my opinion, this is definitely the best "Brothers in arms" version ever.
I like also wembley 85, but is the versión with more emotional energy
I have to disagree with you something about his 58' Les Paul brings more emotion to the song, that is why he should always play "Brothers in Arms" with his 58'.
nothing wrong with the Pensa, though some would say its an abomination. Who would of thought of making a guitar that sounds like a Fender and a Gibson, suppose with is age and doing a lot of small gigs it better dragging one guitar than two.
There's also the Music for Montserrat version from 1997, which is my favourite.
i agree
i said it before and i'll say it again. i don't believe that there ever has been, nor ever will be, ever, a guitar performance, so strong, so powerfull, so deep, and cutting through so many layers of emotions, with such powerfull message, as this single masterpiece, ever. It's so legendary, so historical, and so emotional, i think this deserves to be called a 'wonder of the world'. The atmosphere and the entire performance transcends through so many levels of superhuman performance and is only more goosbump infusing amazing due to the humbleness of Mark Knopfler. This performance alone deserves a nobel peace prize.
All of that and more my friend
This is a master piece, this is what music is about, totally feelings!!!
I second that my friend.
I listen to this daily and the effect never wears off even after 20 years of listening.
A true masterpiece along with
While my guitar gently weeps live with Mr Clapton.
Everyone on this song has brilliant taste in music
What a comment
I know this song by heart. I think I’ve listened to it more than five hundred times, I’ve been listening to this song for about 16yrs. Just never gets old.
Agreed indeed
You know you’re a pure genius when Clapton plays background guitar
So true
Rythm guitar its called.
He did that for the whole concert. So cool
That night in 1988 the sky over Wembley opened and God was listening from above and he was pleased with his children.
I think God may have had a hand himself in that transcendent performance.
@@david8157 yes i was there it was incredible
Beautifully put! I wish I was there to hear him live, especially since I had been a member of the Anti Apartheid Movement in Germany then.
I wish. But I believe God left this world long, long ago. I fear.
There is two singers in this song, Mark and his guitar. No one has ever wrote a song as strong as this
one of the greatest guitar performances (Mark), as well. He was really in the fuc*in groove.
Even Clapton was impressed.....
That Pensa-Suhr Custom guitar was crying in his hands, man. What a live legend Mark Knopfler 💔
a masterpiece that I've been listening to for decades since I was a little girl in Tanzania. This is a monumental performance.
I lost my brother to cancer and this was his favourite song. RIP Peter James Richardson. Thinking of everyone and their families in the same boat. X
Praying that God blesses you and your family and everyone especially those struggling with this terrible disease
Aí o cara
R.I.p.
Mark Knopfler's Brothers in Arms is riveting; not only a tribute to the soldiers, but also to the human race.
It's not a tribute, it's a warning, and we didn't listen 😞
@@arnonabuurs7297 have to agree💯
I can listen to this song many times and it makes me cry because it’s perfect. Mark Knopfler is a legend!
same xD
of course

On point there.
exacly me too ..from Poland . U know what u cry ?? because U are exterme inteligent
What happens here is wonderful! He dedicates the song to Mandela. At minute 0:26 he is so emotional he can not talk. At minute 2:26 he has to dry his tears and his voice trembles and at minute 7:50 he can not talk either. This is magic. An artist crying with his own song because the meaning of it. A musician is not someone who plays an instrument, but someone who makes you feel. Music is not a product, it´s something that comes from the heart. That´s why he is one of my favourite, that´s why this is one of the best versions of this song and that´s why I love this song.
This is by far the most Epic version of Brothers in Arms, what a masterpiece
This version moves me and sends chills up my spine. And the last guitar solo is simply beyond words. But still it is the Wembley '85 version that makes me cry.
The guitar setup and sound choice is perfect for this song. Sounds potent like it's about to burst with emotions at any moment.
If there were a Nobel Prize for Transcendent Guitar Solos, then Mark Knopfler would have been awarded the first one.
The guitar solo is the best thing in the world
The song brings tears to my eyes. America and Great Britain were allies during two world wars. Go bless the greatest generation who gave their lives to protect own freedoms.
I am personally not a die-hard fan of Dire Straits, but to me, there is honestly no man on earth who writes as profound and beautiful lyrics as Mark Knopfler.
The emotion Mark put into this song on that night is unreal
My dad's favorite song he died in the algerian civil War 1994 rip dad i don't even remember you but mom told me that you loved this song so much
Born in 1997, I might be late for the concert, but it’s never too late for good music
This music never come back
You ARE late in fact. I was born in 84 and I was already too late.
Born in 2004, I’m also to late 😕 but what a masterpiece!
it's not about fingers. It's about soul, emotion.
Amazing guitarrist, incredible song, and all so simple.
Every time I listen to this master piece I cry and I feel like god exists.Then the music ends and I realise it was just a moment and I cry even more...what else can we say facing such a talent ?
Let's take the inspiration that Mark Knopfler gives us along with God's help and make things better whenever we can with courage
God ain’t real fools
And when a musician has Clapton as his rythm guitar..... it must only means he is kind of a GOD!
Half God, that guitar is other half
Vasco Cabral That's because Jack Sonni was home with his kids, instead of on stage...
yes incredible.. seing clapton at the end (I didn't notice his presence before!) I 've thought (despite of all my respect and admiration for Clapton) but what does he do here?? he's useless..
@@myndonly2294 i totally agree
This says a lot about Clapton, being humble enough to play rythm being himself a star at the time.
This guy is just something else. He speaks with the guitar, he sings and the guitar answers, and what a heart-felt song, this isn't some virtuosistic solo played for the sake of playing, it's a message, a meaningful one too, and most of it wasn't expressed with words.
The only other artist i know that could express things that well and in such an organic way (and with a handful of notes) is BB King in his later years. Just WOW
Mark uses his fingers to pick the electric guitar! So he gets this incredible sounding "cry" or "moan" that imitates a violin often. I think this technique attributes to the vocal quality of the guitar which literally makes me wet :)
Just...an amazing guitar player
interesting perspective
I'm not really an emotional person but this song brings tears to my eyes everytime. And hearing it like this, no words can describe....
This is just history.The BEST live performance of brother in arms.Every band has his top moment and i think this is for Dire Straits.So emotional,and so powerfull.He makes me cry...There no words for this masterpiece.
In più occasioni ho lasciato il mio commento su questo capolavoro. Anche qui ribadisco che questa poesia cantata debba diventare un inno alla pace e alla vera fratellanza nel mondo. Si farà?
Youre right!!
My mother showed me today this song on a record. I'm happy that only my cat can see my tears now. Johannes, I miss you
The greatest 8 minutes of the human kind. Plain and simple.
What a beautiful song.... There is nothing close to this nowadays...
What Mark does here is extraordinary. The choice of notes he plays on the record are phenomenal and the way he is able to always play variations of those licks and sound even better than on the record is just incredible. Most players play what they know, Mark just knows a lot more.
Doesn't get better than this. The ultimate version of one of the best tracks ever written.
god d*mn it's been 3 years since i saw and heard this the last time, right here. and g*d d*mn tears and goosbumps are flowing all over me. this. is. f*cking. perfect. and it only gets more emotional and realer every year. the world is divided more than EVER before. this song was performed 34 years ago. and it's only more relatable and true today.
One day, I will show this to my grandchildren and tell them: This was when rock music still had a message.
Paul Randig I’ve told my grandkids, and they love it!!!
Oh my. I was there that night. I havent seen this since that evening. They did a warm up gig at Hammersmith Odeon just before. Eric Clapton played with them all night. So sincere, got tears in my eyes. I was 22. Magic times, everything seemed possible back then. Dire Straits were the biggest band in the world in 1988. Knopfler looks humbled and quite emotional.
I was there to what a fantastic day and yes it brings back so many great memorirs
This is Mark at the very pinnacle of his creative powers; a transcendent performance.
This is the best version of this incredibly powerful piece of art I have ever heard. Awesome atmosphere and depth of feeling. Rock it MK
A perfect example of what power the electric guitar can deliver that no other instrument can.
A mesmerising performance from Mark Knopfler who is obviously transcended by this.
The best solo guitar performance I've every witnessed. Nothing more needs to be said.
Yep - literally not of this world. UNBELIEVABLE how good the last 1/3 solo is.
Hum.... you should hear "Telegraph Road" on Love over Gold...
By far the best Dire Straits song & solo guitar
A forever Dire Straits' fan...
If "witnessed"means that you were in that crowd, I am quite jealous! :)
There are several better ones: Telegraph Road, Tunnel of Love, Sultans of Swing, at least.
It sends emotionally charged waves through the crowd.
Those first notes of the guitar gave me goosebumps... breathtaking!
Is this the greatest piece of music ever created? Forget Mozart, Beethoven, Handel. I hope humanity is remembered for this masterpiece.
OMG I can't believe l have found this....l was there at Wembley somewhere in those crowds.... and this song for me was the highlight of the day....absolutely fantastic and brings back so many wonderful memories...thank you for posting and sharing this clip xx
diane your such a lucky person i would of given my right arm to be there must of been amazing
I was there too. Drove down on Saturday morning. 25 quid a ticket. Incredible day
I was there too. We drove from Switzerland to London by car. An evening before was a Dire Straits Concert with Clapton on guitar for the fanclub. I still have both tickets around i think.
Wow lucky guys n girls I seen him in 2018 it was a brilliant night but I really would have loved to have seen him in the 80s early 90s I was born in 88 so atleast I can say I was born in the same year as this😔😌❤
Man. Watching this guitar playing inspires me to become the best in the world at my instrument.
I will become the greatest triangle player out there..
Wish me luck..
Let's start a band I'm a world class Air Guitarist lol
@@MisterSands
😂🤣
Yeah good idea.
My mate does lip sync .
Wonder what that band would look like🤣😂
This is the best song ever written and played brilliant that evening the man is not from this planet he is God
Thank you for this outstanding version. Here in Canada November 11th at 11:00 a.m. everything stops for 1 minute of silence to remember the dead warriors from WWW1 and 2 and now Afghanistan, Korea.
The national radio station (CBC) then plays Brother in Arms. It is so powerful to be working and then take these minutes too think in silence. My grandfathers I never knew. They never came home from Europe.
This version is awesome. The guitar playing by Mark is so beautiful and perfect.
respect brother
my father was a naval man US
no wonder that they never came home from europe. beacause usa is just a big trashcan and europe is everything
@@rainerzufall2039 Without 'Murica, you'd be sprechen sie Russian. Now fuck off Rainer.
And...Then.. Even after all these quintessence of human creativity.. we- the humans- would still engage in yet another Warfare against our very own human brothers and sisters...💧💧💧
Absolutely sublime. Gilmour and Knopfler are the masters of the soulful guitar.
yess yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss exactly this statement. I always think this every time I hear Mark play
that's right!!
The best !!
I have always wondered how they felt about each other and if they honestly recognized each other's talents for what they are??
Yes. Word! Guitar solo parts as in this song or Comfortably Numb are legend.
This guitar on this song at this moment in time...will never be repeated. This was one of those performances that will live forever.
I was 9 when this went out live and have never forgot the hairs standing up on the backs of my arms and neck. 30 years on it still does exactly the same thing. One humanity, one justice.
I've heard his music for over forty years and am still amazed!
Richard Wescott yes totally the goosebumps are almost painful....this....is art.
i was 14 and supposed to be studying. but this performance, in fact the whole dire straits concert changed my life forever. i was later influenced by a whole bunch of others, but if you want to learn how start phrasing, dire straits 1st album is as good a place to start as any.

please don'y reply because i do not open them
Richard Wescott WORDS OF EXTREME WISDOM.!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️
Wow! Same here luv all there music
there is NOTHING that can be compared with this song.. people who watched this performance live are the luckiest.. :)
I don't think there is a single musical piece out there that comes even remotely close to this absolute work of artistic walhalla that is this performance right here. Not even the original/studio version of this song in particular is in it's vincinity. Live. Non-Commercial. 'No Sweat'. No computers. No autotune. Pure music at it's absolute highest best. I am looking for years and years for a HQ version of this golden piece of music. That is, audio-wise. If anybody out there has a link to this work in pref. lossless format, i am grateful beyond words. This deserves to be played in quality better than what this video is able to provide. There HAS to be. But where.
Hello! I have better (far from lossless though) version of this entire concert. Please contact me at m.trusnov@yandex.ru.
there is another take of this concertado in youtube, dice straits and eric clapton wembley 1988
Михаил Т where can i find this version coud u send it to me?
There is a musical piece that surpasses this in my own humble opinion; Comfortably Numb live at Pulse
Pink Floyd "Shine on you crazy diamond" Pulse live comes close.......
One Humanity! One Justice. RIP Mandela
This song is a masterpiece. I never tire of the guitar after listening to it hundreds of times over the years. Its one of those songs that nobody could cover and create the feeling Mark Knopfler creates. Simply wonderful.
I've seen all of Mark's versions of this, and this is br far the best, so much emotion and feeling, both in guitar and singing, takes you deep into the song, and the solo is breath taking!
I have been listening to this for years! I can’t decide which was more powerful the man or the guitar, but yet they were one. I’m still left speechless.
Knopfler's abilities on the guitar are unbelievable! That rift at about 7:13 on is amazing, so high up on the neck and yet the sound is incredible!!!
AMEN BROTHER
AMEN BROTHER
i lost my mind to this song.. It makes me cry every time. lol i know its only music, but its that heavy with sentiment and heart, can't avoid my eyes going numb. You dont get music like this anymore.
it´s not "only"music - it´s BEST music.goes straight to my heart.love it.
Hands down, One of the best guitarists in the world! Goosebumps...
To this day this is still the best rendition of this song---it is beautiful-soulful and magical--Mark rocks................
He nailed it mate how come in other concerts he plays it different to the actual record? I find it a wee frustrating surely he didn't forget
One humanity, one justice. One Mark Knopfler, one Brothers In Arms ! Sublime and tearful performance !
Has this song ever been more true? We only have one world, but we live in different ones......
Thanks to Mark Knopfler for his heart and soul expressing what Nelson Mandela lived...we are all brothers in arms. Can we live it?
He plays it so well that it talks back to him, interrupting him, almost!..... Such bliss is Knopfler
Das ist ein Vermächtnis. Wir brauchen diese guten großen Gefühle. Sie leuchten gegen den Hass. Danke, Mark!
The best version of this song! What an amazing solo, he puts his entire soul into this one.
Saw it live then and still amazed by the guitar solo...
+The Mudman Youuu lucky man...
+ituber09 you lucky
how old are you ? :D

Caught the BiA promo tour. That concert was so good, next morning I bought a ticket for the next available gig while my budget was screaming, NO! NO! NO!
I was there too, getting soaked with everybody else. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Peter Gabriel was the highlight for me, it was the only time the sun came through the grey.
Mister PC Dir Gabriel do Biko?
I was 21 in 1988. I loved that song, 35 years later i still think its one of the greatest song. Thanks to Mark!
And mostly a big thanks to the one who are keeping us safe, thank you for your service. And sorry for all the mate you did lose. And what you had to endure.
Theres still peoples like me who love you! ❤
Thank you Mark and Dire Straits for this very inspirational song. Amazing performance . The first several notes bring tears to my eyes every time. God bless you and all from Patrick
I wish this song could be played magically in the ears of anyone who is contemplating doing evil before that happens
One of the best songs of our time..brothers in arms.
This song should be..... THE ANTHEM OF THE WORLD. May Be the human being,... will learn something ,if heard this Masterpiece more times. My respects to MK.
Truly special performance. He put his heart and soul into this. Truly one of the masters of emotional guitar.
Ian Cropley him and Gilmour are fantastic
God that is goosebump material. Mark knopfler at his absolute best, he really makes that guitar sing! Thank you sir for the most beautiful performance!
Immortal song, will be heard in 100 years time.
Best perfomans ever of "Brothers in arms"
to me it is the only one that actually just speask from heart to heart. this one never fails to make me ask who's cutting onions.
Agree
Always in love with this songs
When I look at his sad face, I become sad with the realisation, that one day, this man will have passed away. :(
You know your in a magical place when the king of guitar gods, Eric Clapton is in awe.
Yeah... I'm with most of you folk saying this may be his finest show ever. Even EC knew he was backing a special moment here. An underrated finger-plucking genius. Play on Mark - badass
For every Clapton there's only Knopfler make him look like a freshman - Mark makes Guitar sing - there's no other way to put it
yes he makes Guitar sing,,,,, an cry too...Love him, his hands are from an Angel, or a Alien... Best band ever...
Listen to Gary Moore
If Clapton is Slowhand - what is Mark?
This performance puts so many things in perspective --- it is simply mind-blowing. Have seen Mark Knopfler twice but would have given anything to be at this concert. SO freakin' powerful and emotional and other-worldly Tone !! Love the crowd sensing /getting into the building up toward the end there. Long live MK !
I'm a priest daughter and this song is like a cantique, something so religious i used to hear on my church
God bless you and this wonderful singer
I miss my dad
they don't make them like this any more, one of the best tracks ever made,my brother and I saw dire straits in concert over 30 yrs ago, it was unbelievable experience,, my brother died recently and this was the song I had played as he entered church for the last time, needless to say it was a tuff moment, but this song will always remind me of him, its a classic,,
In these days of great suffering for me, to see you and to listen to your music is a sweet consolation. Thank you Mark.
Solo con su presencia te mata....cuando suena la guitarra comenzas a volar y en habla ...que don por dios...ya no hay mas artistas de este calibre...
Unbelievable song. What talent with the guitar work. One of the greatest guitarists I have ever hear. Great voice This song ends me to paradise and beyond
when music is magic, this is it!!!!
I cant watch this without thinking Mark is the absolute best poet, musician, and probably the finest human there ever was...
Best version of the Best song. Ever
WW2 At age 19 in the 14 th (forgotten) army’s Burma Campaign against the little known horrendous Japanese conflict (the memory of which is forever real) “Brothers in Arms” could have been written for us. It will be played at my final exit from this life. “Every man has to die”. Thank you Mark. GOD bless you. Vic’.
For me this is so powerful. I get goose bumps every time I hear this.
Per me questo brano è il più grande. Lo ascolto da decenni e ho sempre sensazioni che non riesco a tramutare in parole. IMMENSI.
listening to this song in these crazy times
This is the BEST Brothers in arms
Maybe the best performance ever
Every live version of this song is a masterpiece. My favorite guitar solo all time; and that includes compares with Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, Buchanan and many others. This shit is moving; I never get enough of this song.
MK brings himself and his guitar to cry, what a amazing performance. Absolut masterpiece!
MK is the Guitargod!
this song is so amazing --- it's like an entire concert in one beautiful song
The cheer from the crowd at the beginning gives me goosebumps! Most beautiful Dire Strait's Song for me, hauntingly beautiful...
Mark - the true legend of guitarplaying - The tune in Marks guitar is magic, and combined with the serenity of Marks playing makes this an absolute masterpiece.
This is the version of "brothers in arms" that i keep coming back to. Magical
