    Great reaction! You should also check out 'Ride Across the River' from Sydney 1986. There is an amazing back and forth between Mark Knopfler's guitar and Chris White's flute.

    This track is also used on one of the best scenes in one of the most decorated television shows in history, West Wing. At the end of the episode "Two Cathedrals" which was also the end of Season 2.

    I've seen mark knopfler live 13 times and I've seen Chris white playing this flute and his saxophone, the chills from the flute and knopflers guitar is just incredible when your there, and you will never witness anything quite like this ever again 🥺

    Mark always looks like he is pouring himself a nice cuppa. Watch the live performances from the Alechmy Tour. They are among the best what the music universe has ever produced. I especially loved the calpyso version of "So far away". But, well, they just cannot put a foot wrong.

    Great video, Claire well done. I never fully appreciated the flute contribution to this song until now. I've always had mixed feeling about Mark Knopfler as a singer, but as a guitarist/songwiter he was first class. There were lots of great albums in the charts in the mid 80s. My favourite band: Genesis had a multi-platinum seller called "Invisible Touch" despite having to compete with this one on the market. On the album was a song in two parts called "Domino" The first part called "In The Glow OF The Night" had a flute (or panflute ?)type introduction so I would like you have a listen to it sometime. When Genesis played it live it was just Tony Banks on his synthesizer but I hope you have listen to see if you can discover how they created the sound in the studio xx.

    Hello Claire from Hull,
    Yeah Dire Straits help launched the CD industry - and what a classic album.
    I've had occasion to visit Hull a few times, and Beverly and York - it's a bit off the beaten track and hemisphere for me, but I had a very pleasant time there.
    See you soon ...

    Hi just discovered your channel. Very nice. I went to their concert in '91 and the flute was crystal clear and loud. It was in a Tennis arena here in Melbourne Australia and acoustics was fabulous. I really think you'll love the performance Ride Across The River - Live Dire Straits: The Final Concert - Sydney 1986. The AI version is here on RUclips and it's the opening song. The flute here you will enjoy very much I feel. There's a lot of it. Anyway Cheers and all the best from Australia. 👍🎸🎺🎷

    Hi, you’ll find plenty of flute in songs by Mark Knopfler during his solo career. I’d mention The Scaffolder’s Wife and Get Lucky (you’ll love them!!). But also Haul Away and One Song At A Time (great!).
    As someone said the 1985 live version of Ride Across The River by Dire Straits.

    Though this *ISN'T* from the Brothers in Arms studio CD album (the success of which Claire was accurately describing). It's from one of their many live performances, specifically from (I think) their 'On the Night' live album, recorded at Les Arenes, Nimes, and Rotterdam in May 1992. And IMO the best of their live performances.

    You have evidently not heard, “Can’t You See”, by The Marshall Tucker Band. The best flute opening to a rock song IMO. Toy Caldwell is not their main lead singer, but he wrote this song while serving in Vietnam about all of his buddies getting “Dear John” letters from their girlfriends back home and the pain that they went through. Toy sings and plays lead guitar on this one, though he is the regular lead guitarist. Link below.
