Like replacing the rosewood board neck with a maple board Schecter neck on his red '62 Strat. Lots of Schecter Strat type guitars in early/mid '80's,then a period of Pensa-Suhr Customs and Les Pauls in the late '80's. No matter what he played,he always sounded wonderful.

      Having lived in the Deep South of the U.S. for 20 of the last 30 years of my life I have received some involuntary input to country music. Mark IS the Master of the Pickers. I finally heard it on the 1000th time I have "experienced" this performance. I heard his notes ringing out almost exactly like some very old school blues and country banjo pickers. While those old performances were amazing in their own right, they didn't have those other-worldly drums and keyboards behind them like Mark dId in this video. I am even mire amazed he could play his guitar cleaner and faster than those guys picking on their banjo's (designed to be played like that) BRAVO Mr. Knopfler...

    The lyric "As The Time Bell Rings." refers to when all English "Pubs" would ring a bell(usually 22.50 pm)and
    after it rang, you had 10 minutes to order any further drinks and then they would take no further orders after 23.00 pm.
    Then you had a further 15 minutes to finish your drinks before you had to leave the "Pub" and go home.

      This was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1983. My brother was in the audience and said they blew the roof off that night.
      Mark Knopfler allowed Terry Williams to let it rip on the drums because it was the first time his parents saw him play live and Knopfler went for it with the extended guitar solo. If you watch carefully you`ll see them laughing at each other.

    Lead guitarist, Mark Knopfler, was a big fan of the Nashville picking style of guitar playing made famous by performers like his idol, Chet Atkins.

    • @jjc5407

      Tina Turner's Private Dancer, the title track of which was of course written by Mark Knopfler and featured the rest of Dire Straits playing on it with Jeff Beck taking Mark's place on lead guitar and contributing what Mark once described as the 'second worst guitar solo of all time'! To this day I still wonder why Mark didn't play on the track and how he might have elevated it even further.

Although Mark Knopfler has a great sound as a solo artist, both live and in the studio, I still really miss this group. A Dire Straits reunion would make my whole year!
