#DIRESTRAITS #SCEEZSQUAD
One of the greatest live performances ever. And the drummer killed it.
This true Awesomeness❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Terry Williams dad was there to see his son playing for the first time, that's why he gave it his all! proud for both of them.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Just gives me goosebumps and I don't know why 😂
lol same!! this is def a vibe!!!
@@oksceez Good Reaction and great to see you get into this English Band but 7 pauses is far too many as we can always hear your interesting thoughts at the end without breaking up the flow and rhythm as the song builds and builds and NEVER pause a guitar solo...lol
Good Luck,My Friend...
If it does not give you goosebumps, you have a problem.😆
When you're so talented you can produce that performance whilst having the time of your lives.
My soul leaves my body and dances with me when that guitar solo plays.
Well Said :)
Stellar epic masterpiece
They knew this was going to be a huge performance for them. It was sold out and it was going to be filmed and recorded. So they really put out their best
A truly legendary band with the legendary rock guitarist Mark Knopfler ! Nobody does it like Mark !!! " You say I'm the greatest - bound for glory "` when he wrote these words of the song Setting me up, he was being prophetic, and he's still doing it at 70 plus years young ! Dire straits will be immortal, and I was priveledged to be in at the beginning in the early seventies.
That drummer KILLED it. 🔥
The legendary Terry Williams. Played with Rockpile and Meatloaf.
A 'sultan' is like a king. And 'swing' in this case is referring to a type of jazz music (sorry no baseball references).
lmao Shucksss!! thank you!!!
I love when mark turns round to look at Terry the drummer turns back laughing as if to say "let him get on with it he's in his zone" great British band.
That song still gets played often on classic rock stations.
CLASSIC!!!
Telegraph road from the same concert is even better!!
i will check it out for sure
@@oksceez It will blow your mind - phenomenal !
NO ITS NOT
That's a pretty close race my friend. This whole album is fantastic. I saw them do both in my hometown in '86 for the Brother's in Arms tour, and it was still a close race which one was better.
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. Including road tripping.
It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.
What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
Making a living like that wouldn't suck.🤑🤑🤑🤑
Shout out to the production crew. The filmography of this LIVE concert is incredible.🤩🤩
The sound of 70s 80s UK this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.Totally immersive musical and lyrical extravaganza,for me it's up there with Bruce Springsteen 85 born in the USA tour at Wembley Stadium.
And Pink Floyd 94 Pulse tour at Earls Court
I love everything about this song! It's one of my all time favorites.
🇨🇦 Todays Rap cannot hold a candle to this Classic !
Swing refers to a style of music used by Jazz groups and Big Bands. This song refers to Mark seeing a local Jazz band in a Public House (Bar) who were not very good and next to nobody watching them. They called themselves "The Sultans of Swing" Mark said they weren't the Sultans (master) of anything.
Editor and sound engineers did a great job as well - amazing
There are literally 1000s of older gen songs that you wouldn’t of heard that would make for sweet reactions bro. ❤
I’m a drum & bass and hip hop head ! But this track is fuckin fire 🔥🔥🔥
gives me the bobble head! cant stop bobbing my head along with the beat lol
Mark Knopfler's guitar is heaven.
GREAT reaction. So pleased you recognised the drummer's talent too. He kills those drums, but Mark is the overall star
One of a very few guitarists that does not use a pick.
Imagine being there!
The atmosphere must have been electric!!
Great video mate, love these reaction videos to these great, great bands.
Try ‘stairway to heaven’ or
‘comfortably numb’ live.
All fabulous
👍🇬🇧
Goosebumps. Every. Time.
This is my favorite reaction from you! Dire Straits is a vibe!, but so is your energy. A fantastic Sceezeo indeed.
I just joined and I love your reactions to great songs, your emotions take over your body and you are really feeling every song.👍
I saw them on this tour in 1983, when this was recorded. An amazing show, and Mark Knopfler is a Guitar legend!
This is back when the ❄was pure!
Sultans of Swing means kings of a style of music. I believe swing was popular in the 30's and 40's.
Swing is a genre of music popular in the 30s and 40s ex. Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Ruth was called the sultan of swat. Fun reaction. 😅😅😅😅
Alchemy live is one of the best live performances ever and rates up there with the Allman's life at Filmore East(One Way Out, Whipping Post, Stormy Monday, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed). Epic stuff by Dire Straits.
As Duke Ellington said “ it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”
Great reaction :D
That Is the Best guitar player EVER!!!
It’s definitely feel good music ❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
He wrote this about a time in London he took shelter in a pub from the rain and a crap band called the Sultans of Swing were playing to an almost empty pub
This is another one of those songs that really is better in the studio recording.
Never ever better
@@lynnepashley4281 you lose a lot of the guitar in this live version. Whereas The Grateful Dead really only counts if it's live.
Thank you !
A sultan was an Arab ruler or head of state. Swing refers to swing music that was very popular in the 40’s and 50’s. So the Sultans of Swing is the name of the band playing old style jazz and swing music in a bar on the south side of London and the inspiration for this song.
I hear that music everyday and i never get boring
Babe Ruth was the sultan of swat, not swing.
Everyone on point just everything you could wish for in this performance It was never off the jukebox in all the bars this song in the late 70’s put Knopfler’s guitar playing sound right up there with the best of them .
Hat off to you, cause it was a great to see/hear how fast you picked up on the whole scene guy!
Legends in motion!
Really enjoyed this!
I think sultans of swing means the kings of cool
You need to check out the studio version
Mark Knopfler is in top 5 of all time guitarists!!
Mark wrote this song about a band he saw in a pub in London. They were semi professional ordinary blokes just having a whale of a time regardless of who was listening
F@#$%^ great!
They are mocking a bar band in a pub in London….that was the name of the band
They started very near me in the pubs of South East London very near where Squeeze,Boy George and Kate Bush all lived :)
I luv them
they are tooo goooood
fastest 13 minutes ever lol
Beautiful reaction
One of the most entertaining frontman from back in the day was Van Halen’s David Lee Roth.
He was hilarious in “Hot for Teacher” video
Motley Crue “Girls Girls Girls” Bad Company “Feel like making love” are some good old rock tunes too.
all motley crew is soo bad
I'll always prefer the studio version. Hearing that recording on the radio in 1978 is what hooked me on Fire Straits. It was like "step aside disco, buh bye punk. We got some real music around now."
Masterpiece
Such great musicians :)
Agreed
❤😊
❤
Mark Knopfler .....the BEST!! Just in a different sub-category from Eddie V.
PLEEZE PLEEZE DO “WALK OF LIFE” 🔥
story of stepping out of the rain & into a dive. The band playing there was called the sultans of swing, but they played everything but swing, including creole. Dire Straits is just mocking them in this song.
🔥👍🏽
Mark Knopfler wonderful
The lyric version is better. The studio version. The live versions leave parts out.
Just weird you're not watching most of it so long
ok sceez check out slaughter to prevail demolisher. please. your my favorite reaction channel
Dude it's a live performance why aren't you watching
In the song he songs about being in south London and hearing music in a club and going inside, then he tells you about all these different guys in the band, one can only afford an old guitar but when he gets on the stage he’s GOOD, one has a day job and doesn’t care if he never “makes the scene”, etc, this fictional band is called “The Sultans Of Swing”. He refers to “Dixie double four time”, that’s a reference to Dixieland Jazz, a style of Jazz from New Orleans and double four time is the way it’s played (as in a four/four beat). So in the song the singer/narrator is stumbling across an amazing band in London that calls themselves The Sultans Of Swing, they play Dixieland Jazz, and he tells you a little about the various members of the band.
The "Sultans of Swing" weren't an amazing band at all, they were a shit band and this entire song is a piss take about how bad they were.
Don't take the lyrics literally, get it from the man himself.
It has absolutely nothing to do with a quality bunch of musicians playing good music in a pub, and they aren't a fictional band, they're a band that he saw live and they were terrible.
You couldn't be more wrong with your analysis of the lyrics.
Great soulful tune. Their studio versions are often the best.
This will explain the song.

He's got a daytime job, thank you very much
So many alleged "fans" have absolutely no idea what the song is about and know nothing about dire straits, right down to calling this the best version of this song.
Any true fan would know what the lyrics are about and also there are several better versions than the Alchemy version recorded much later in their career.
I love dire Straits, but why does everyone rave so much about this version? Clearly, it's not the best version.
Any version that supersedes this version is and always will be better.
There are at least 4 versions of the exact same song that are performed much later in their career and make this version look amateurish.
Anyone that thinks this is the best version, doesn't know much about the band at all.
Watch the Sydney 86 version and then tell me that Alchemy is better. Not possible.
The later in their career that it is performed, the tighter, more refined, longer and so much better it is, naturally.
No idea some people.
