    Seeing people watch this for the first time is so awesome. It's an absolute masterpiece. Mark Knopfler is a musical genius. Absolute demon songwriter, guitarist and producer. One of many incredible songs he's written. Dire Straits is one of the most unique and biggest bands of all times. Mark Knopfler has it all and he's crafted an amazing career over 45 years and counting. He's clearly one of the finest musicians to have graced this wonderful life. Superb reaction

    Love Dire Straits. They are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Money For Nothing", "Telegraph Road", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "So Far Away", "Brothers In Arms" etc. They don't have a bad song.

    I love that in every video, when she speaks, he always looks right at her, and gives her his undivided attention, without interruption. Maybe it's manners but I think it's just love and respect. Reactors forget that the viewer is often just people watching, and it's as much about that, as anything else.

  • @mariateresaantona3073

    This is the best version of Sultans of Swing ever.
    Mark's guitar solo is SENSATIONAL.
    Mark Knopfler is left-handed but plays right-handed. Therefore he imparts more force on the guitar neck strings, in this case using the Fender Stratocaster, by plucking more gently with his right hand.
    MK was the first to introduce fingerpicking on the electric guitar.... it's his hallmark.
    I LOVE HIM.
    Grazie per la bella reaction
    Siete una bellissima coppia 🤍

    Dire Straits were a fantastic band, and what more can be said about Mark Knopfler except that his 'reason for every note' style of playing is just unique and special! Mark started out as a newspaper reporter and because of that background he has an exceptional way of telling stories in song ! It is always worth paying attention to his lyrics, and I'll say that he is still my favorite lyricist today! I loved all his work with Dire Straits, but appreciate his following solo albums even more! Cheers!

    This was the band's first UK chart hit. Inspired by a band lead guitarist Mark Knopfler saw late one night in a bar in South London playing to a few people. The song is a narrative. He tells a story in his songs.
    Brothers in Arms was inspired by the Falklands War in 1982 when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands.
    Telegraph Road is a social commentary about the USA and how the Telegraph brought about change prosperity and progress then came the depression job losses and poverty. In the USA the Telegraph Road is a major highway through the state of Michigan.
    Mark's unique style of guitar playing comes from blues style. He picks the strings with his thumb and two fingers. With his lightning fast left hand he can bend or vibrate THREE STRINGS at the same time.
    On tour he uses a lot of session musicians.
    The drummer for this tour was welshman Terry Williams. Bass guitarist is a member of the original band Dire Straits John Ilsley.
    Support guitarist was American Hal Lindes. On Keyboards Alan Clarke and a second keyboard player Guy Fletcher.

    They have so many great tracks: Brothers In Arms (is a must, but have a tissue handy - it's an emotional one!), So Far Away, Money For Nothing, Romeo & Juliet, Private Investigations...that should give a good continuation path! Cheers.

    What a priceless reaction... your constant head banging, your smiles throughout and the little looks of excitement you kept giving to each other!! Wonderful.
    I've heard this song hundreds of times, but your honest reaction made it so enjoyable. Thankyou both 😊

    I have this live version on my playlist when ever I’m out and about I listen to it one of my favourite bands. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it this version is the best for me. By the way Ren plays without a pick as well he said it hurts after a while.

    Great reaction! This was released, in the middle of the Punk boom, in '78 and was predicted by some, to disappear, but history says otherwise!👍
