Van Morrison has been a great inspirator for me and for other people who write and play their own music. Most people don't do that and play covers. It didn't ever get me anywhere, but I always did my own music since age 14. And this vid shows something that I never knew before. What a nice person Mark Knopfler realy is. They also seem to have discovered Gibson has been making some high grade LP's again since 2013 (from what I've seen). Great vid. Thanks!
Will wonders never cease. Van and Mark play dueling Gibson Les Pauls on a Bill Monroe signature song more in line with the original blues. Ain't the Internet great. Virtually nobody would have witnessed this treat otherwise. You say how could it get better and then it does.
knopfler es una caja de sorpresas,geniales!! Dos MAESTROS compartiendo LA ALEGRÍA Y SU AMOR A LA MÚSICA. Gracias maestro por esta oportunidad de ver juntos a dos representantes del mejor rock.
Some people are comparing Van and Mark they are both in their own right it's WONDERFUL just see and hear the Awesome Men play together they are very well put together🫶❤️✌️🫶❤️✌️
If you like this version have listen to Van playing it with Lonnie Donegan and Chris Barber taken from the Album Skiffle Session live in Belfast. Lonnie recorded this originally in the 1950’s.
I’ve probably mixed up Wyman and Woods earlier. And V reminded me, and she is correct, where I saw Guernica was the gallery next door to the Prado. I was in both. V has been to Rome twice. Said I was just scared to go. In case I saw Rome and died. We were watching oul Pope Frankie on the TV from Rome. Told her I had some groovy pics of Tommy on the Spanish steps and at the Trevi Foundation. When he was 81/82. Damian met him there.
Almost didn’t recognise Knopfler. Don’t know why I thought he might look as he did when I saw Dire Straits in Belfast maybe 77/88. Sultans of Swing days.
É sério q é o 80o. aniversario do Bill Wyman? Não sabia q ele era tao velho. E por que ele nao aparece no video? Que pessima filmagem. Uma camera so o tempo todo e muito mal usada. Qualidade de som muito ruim principalmente no microfone do Van.
I love seeing and listening to these men working together. Thanks, Mark and Van, and sofarawayparis, for putting this up!

If I was Van Morrison I would be in Awe just to be in the same room as Mark Knopfler let alone playing guitar with him.
Great Van Morrison. I’m really feeling It
is it just me or is Van actually enunciating better than 40-50 years ago ? bwahahahaha
thany you bill
happy birthday
ciao from italy
Hats off!!
Took me a bit to figure it out; the tune is
MULE SKINNER BLUES
Susan Davidson yeah, couldn’t believe it. It’s Bill Monroe’s “New Mule Skinner Blues”. Not many know of such a regional song.
If you like this version have listen to Van playing it with Lonnie Donegan and Chris Barber taken from the Album Skiffle Session live in Belfast.
Lonnie recorded this originally in the 1950’s.
Van Morrison del grupo THEM que inmortalizó la súper rolota GLORIA, una clásica del rock en general.
I'm not too sure, but I think I saw them BOTH smile.
That didn't happen! 👍👍😂😂
Ha ha ha, good one
La mejor guitarra, la mejor voz Eskerrik asko Thank you
love Knopfler's geetar!
brilliance
Is that Eric Clapton that appears @ 2:47? I think it is!!!
No matter the music genre Van is the best👍❤️👍❤️
Wish the sound was better!
Mk is fantastisk
Great
this is a true marvel
At 5.34 did that land on MK?
What is it.
Van Morrison - listen to his version of "Gloria" on YT - the best ever!
His version? It’s his song.
I’ve probably mixed up Wyman and Woods earlier. And V reminded me, and she is correct, where I saw Guernica was the gallery next door to the Prado. I was in both. V has been to Rome twice.

Blue Grass festival?
Sea of joy!
what a shame the sound is so bad!
Almost didn’t recognise Knopfler. Don’t know why I thought he might look as he did when I saw Dire Straits in Belfast maybe 77/88. Sultans of Swing days.
News Flash. People get old.
I knew him way back when
Love Van
Genia i like
Is that EWric Clapton at the back?
Van Morrison is good but Mark Knopfler is on another level talent wise.
@ripoff3 maybe because It was a suprise?
Sorry typos…. Fountain!!!
👏🏻❤️👌👍
yeah boys
Black/White Video and Hill Music. Great Singing Oh!!!!!!!!Yeah GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations
Told her I’d been to a number of Italian places including Verona. Let’s forget Verona.
Hey! That's MY birthday!
Happy Birthday then ! 🥳
I wonder why they didn't set up the mics before Mark introduced Van!!
Hundestedroervig
ripoff3 You have GOT to be Jewish. Always complaining and focusing on the negative.
Tony S, the wording of your comment is a shame. An intolerable whiff of antisemitism.
ripoff3 p
Finger picking, singer spitting blues.
😂👍fingerlicking spit. You noticed it. Haha. Me too
I think this was a Jimmy Rodgers song way back in the day
Van needed to blow his nose. Felt bad for Mark lol.
?un Antes y Después de Ambos ????
It's the money for nothing and your kicks for the free scenario ! ..
Looks like poor Mark got quite a shower from old Van!!
a shower?
Van seems to spray out saliva when he sings, no offense meant!
@@ripoff3 I went back and watched the video closely when Van is singing....and you are correct!😁 No matter tho....love, love Van the Man!!
Wayman?
My first thought, too. I can only assume it's Wyman.
djf750 It's his 80th Birthday Gala hon 😉
Heeyyt bee şu mark'ı ve Vanı ölmeden yakalamak lazım...aman aman Allah gecinden versin
Or before we go before them
É sério q é o 80o. aniversario do Bill Wyman? Não sabia q ele era tao velho. E por que ele nao
aparece no video? Que pessima filmagem. Uma camera so o tempo todo e muito mal usada. Qualidade de som muito ruim principalmente no microfone do Van.
Old Bill was probably out metal detecting
Whats the songs name?
The Mule Skinners Cock.
Is he Fing his head off or am I imagining it! Don’t answer!
The only way that could be improved would be if Micheal Ball popped in for a Duet .
I've seen a lot of bands in northern Ontario bars play just as well or better.
so what?
Stop watching then ...
:D
As for me...they're just nothing to rory Gallagher.
sounds like a school-band...
