Give the man a guitar and an amp and he will create the sound of heaven. Anywhere. Legend.
kemper modeler :)
@@DavidLeviGuitar Funny...it was very curious that an amp was nowhere to be seen on stage! Kinda hard to believe but it would make sense for a gig like this...
HALLELUYA.
God bless you.
I don't know anything about amps, but the guitar is clearly a Gibson Les Paul Standard. It looks like his 1959 model, but there's no way of knowing if it's a replica or the real thing.
@@ergmsg he definitely owns several really old Les Pauls, but I don’t know if he uses them live a lot
There are guitar players, then there is Mark Knopfler.
100%
100%
YESSSSS !!!
The best
I was a trucker for many years and this was my favourite homecoming number. After a week away from home punching up and down the UK nothing made me feel better than listening to this full blast going over theThelwall Viaduct and my beloved Lanashire spreading out before me.Going Home is what I was doing.
It’s great when we can insert aspects of our own lives into a song and melody and it suddenly becomes our own Tailor made anthem…..love it’s meaning to you.
Gods country 😃
Ojalá que todos vieran lo que ves ..... Me tocas el alma con tus palabras. ... Palabras con hierro
Stay safe pal
Вы дальнобойщик.... Я лётчик и после посадки и полной остановки двигателей и ухода из машины всего экипажа крепкий кофе горький шоколад кусочек сыра и конечно Марк нопфлер какой драйв все здоровья и мягких посадок
I could say a hundred things, but words are not enough.....
But i'll say this:
Mark, thank you so much for your music being a huge part of my life for almost 40 years...
Please, never stop making music.
@@markknopfler3406 you have aged a bit along w me.
You were my hero.
I loved your your tone and únmistakable licks.
God bless you.
@@markknopfler3406 Yes, it's been 4o years. We are old now. Sometimes we feel like we play and sing together with you. Sometimes we even laugh together. As we got older we became like friends. Strolling in Les Paul is like walking through the forest in the spring. As JJ Cale said; After midnight, we love you.
Amen...me too. I was a fan when Dire Straits were unknown. I reckon I was one of the first to buy the album Dire Straits as barely a teenager...
@@imnotagoldenoldie39 Thanks for your praises and appreciation of my song and I wish to make all my fans happy this wonderful year 2021
@@emirorhangulseren4302 Thanks for your appreciation and I hope to surprise all my fans this wonderful year 2021.
An absolute eargasm.
In a selfish, blind and ignorant world, where i've struggled to belong anywhere, i want this played at my funeral. I'm hopeful that ill be going home then.
inspiring words indeed
I won’t be having a funeral nor a memorial. I’m donating my body to the same university that my late husband chose. But in the small gathering if friends I hold dear, I’ve asked that they play this song.
I first heard this when I was driving home for my father's funeral. I thought it was just me..........for all of us this piece has a place in our hearts.
Buddy, listening to music like this is heaven. It's a perfect fit. Now that you know, carry it with you in your heart and never forget.
Actually, I said my family in my willing, I want his music to be played in my funeral. Written, so they will do it.
What can I say. No words can describe this guy. The best just the best.
Man kann es wirklich nicht beschreiben, wie wundervoll Mark seine Gitarre zupft. Jedes Mal pures Gaensehaut Gefuehl.Einfach ein geiles Erlebnis.
Yup. But very few can recognize his talent
You did just truly describe Mark Knopfler.
No, he's better than that.
👍🏼👃🏼
We're so lucky to live in a time where Mark Knofler exists.
when I was a geek in 1980, Making Movies saved me
I will always be forever in his debt, for teaching me, it's ok to be the only one
True
I agree with you, but you could have at least spelled his name correctly


@@OneOfTheRobs thank you for mentioning this, "Mark Knopfler" encore une fois, merci pour me corriger.
@@lakhdarhamida1697 ❤️
Glad to see him again. He's pure talent, feeling and class.
Me too. Some how I thought he was done playing publicly. Gives me hope to see him live one more time.
And bloody hard work
Amen ... PURE talent, feeling and class
I think he's the best in the world
I totally agree with you
This tune is played every time Newcastle United come onto the pitch. I’m a Sunderland supporter. But it reminds me of a good friend KIA in Afghanistan who was a devout Geordie. RIP Steve Campbell.
To your brave friend. Didn't know him but always a legend to me.
Just a spurs fan no affiliation to Newcastle but it’s just the most beautiful piece of music it moves me sometimes even still
Touched after reading this - true friendship over ruling football alliances!
Never in a million years will you find something more musically appropriate for such an event
In '85 I was crying and now 2020.. nothing changed: still tears are coming... why? I don 't know. His play, his voice, the stories he sings.... it is musical art of Da Vinci level. Thank you.
Thank you. You said it all. :))
Ditto. Never fails to give me goosebumps.
Mozart with a Strat my friend
@@nateelter131 True!
Davinci level .. Yes that sums it up
So much feel, such little effort
So much music, such little beat
So much charm, such little band
So many chills by the crest of Mark's hand
Don't underestimate the effort. It just looks easy.
So good at playing it does look effortless... then I watch his fingers & all they do... makes me speechless every single time.
Exactely!
@@CarlosPT-hb6zb Going Home :)
@@fraserhenderson7839Agreed. The trick is to make it look effortless, even when a lot of effort has gone into it. That’s why Mark Knopfler is such a legend. He has that ability in spade-loads.
If you're not touched by this performance, you have no soul
No one makes a guitar cry like Mark Knopfler ❤️🌹😢
When so many were listening to the Boss, I gravitated towards Mark. Been doing that ever since. Still do.
Same
Bruce is by far my favourite.. But Mark is also something special. No one can make the guitar sound like him. Add his distinctive voice and songwriting and its pure heaven.
I have happily listened to both ,across styles and decades.We are fortunate to live in these musical times.
Mark has really perfected the art of saying more with less. He plays fewer notes than most guitarists, but his music conveys so much more. Absolutely magical.
What are you talking about. He is playing the song as it is written.
Yip I'd agree 💯 less is more it's about the picking style and the use of vibrato and the volume pedal on the floor same as pedal steel players use ! he makes that look like a walk in the park he was influenced by chett Atkins style of picking and chett has gotta be the world greatest guitarist of all times sadly gone 🙏 but I did notice marks hand just slowing down a little but that's just age and years of playing but nevertheless the man's another legend of his own time and gonra outstanding just a guitar and a keyboard. ..other artists would have coppd out an used a backing track also but mark being the professional is totally awsome 👍👏👏👏👏🏴🥃
@Mark Hill you're carried away!🏌️
Stunning. Probably would’ve shed a tear if I was in that crowd.
Amazing.
Probably would've shit if I'd been in a toilet
Mark knopfler and David Gilmour my two favorite guitarists of all time.. Legends✌🏻
exactly... i would also add jimmy page but still... the best of the best!
Hear, hear!👏👏👏👆
Me too
Definitely Gilmour is the best ever
I like all of them.=)
No matter how many versions of this song he puts out, they never fail to entertain. How he does it is a mystery to me. A class act.
He loves music & I assume cars . I just wish I could see play this. Unless he plays a concert in the UK next year it’s not going to happen unfortunately.
@@beagle7622 It's possible he may do another UK tour in the future. I imagine he wants to continue playing live so fingers crossed. Hopefully another album may come out as well.🤞
i cannot listen to this song without getting goosbumps !! it just transfers me to my good ol college days when i had purchased a casette of this in 90s... Magnificent !
He makes his guitar talk, sing and cry.. Make you wish he never stops..
What a tribute to Stirling Moss. Beautifully played - so soulful.
This ones for my beloved mum! 1942-2019.
May God keep her close. She will love showing you Him.
I just loss my mum in July and this song bring teartms to my eyes. Thank you Mark
It's moving to see him play with this sadness in his soul. The result was indescribable. I love MK.
This is the only song in the world that I get emotional and choked up every time I hear it. Maybe because of the film, which happens to be one of my dearest films in the world, or the combination of both. I must have heard one hundred different versions of this song, and all of them move me invariably, as does the final scene of the film with the phone box ringing, and this song playing.
Wild Theme from Nimes 92 show is my favorite. Towards the end Mark and Guy look and smile at each other and they know they just created something special.
Oh I don't know...'On Every Street'? 'So Far from the Clyde'...'Remembrance Day'....'Brothers in Arms'..? I think all Mark's songs might make me cry a little.
The depth of soul from Mark’s music 🎶 will live on centuries and beyond.
Mark, you're my all time guitar hero since "Sultans of Swing".
From Mark's heart to his hands to my ears to MY HEART TO MY HEART and to my heart. I love your music Mark & everyone.
Now that was a tune back in 1978 got played in every jukebox in all The bars 10 pence 3 tunes 😂 rewind ✌️
How strange that one man's musical tribute to a motorsport legend could be so... 🤔.... Fitting?
A rare talent indeed when it's as much about the notes he doesn't play.
Him and Stirling were good mates
@@barnabylee9763 They were for quite some time I believe.
I just find it strange as music and motorsport are poles apart, if you know what I mean.
You'd think putting two talents like that in the same room would tear the fabric of space/time.
I heard it said that the silence between the notes is as important as the notes you hear.
And the notes here are beautifully put together.
I was a steward in the Glasgow Apollo and Mark was the finest guitarist I saw there #1
This guy is a genius. The emotion in Mark's playing is absolutely incredible and that guitar sound he's created is on another planet 👌
Good lord! He's 71 now. What a legend. Been a fan since since I was 13, 11 years ago.
Me been a fan since I was 13, 39 years ago ;-)
His music always touches my heart. No one else like him.
Such a legend
One legend honoring another. Bravo Mark Knopfler.
How can be? 1 minute and i crying
It sounded like he was playing a hymn. Simply unmistakable.
What an incredible talent you are Mark. A beautiful gift to this world❤️
Kei te whakaae ahau
@@brianjoseph3708 I googled that and have no idea what you replied, and it came up with zero results on the meaning
@@jennifermetcalfe906 hi Jennifer it's Maori and means " I agree with you" be sure to have a nice day...brian
Definitely 👍🎸🔊🎶
@@jennifermetcalfe906 Hello how are you doing today xx💝
He once said in an interview that sometimes he doesn’t have anything left to say but maybe the guitar does.
This time the guitar elegantly said everything it needed to.
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, i'm not complete without you as my Fan 🌹 I have you to be most thankful for 🌹🌹❤💕💕
@@markknopfler3406 are you Mark Knopfler???....thanks for your beautiful music🎸😊👍👍👍
One of the most beautiful guitar players ever alongside David Gilmour and Gary Moore.
Ah, yes. But of course MK has written so many great songs, while Gilmour has a more limited batch of memorable songs. I don't mean to downgrade Gilmour as a guitarist, but I'll take MK anytime.
@@surfwriter8461you kidding? Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I love MK but I’d wager Gilmour’s songs are a lot more famous and revered around the world.
@@kjek1 Get real.
@@surfwriter8461 think it’s you that needs to get real. Gilmour’s from a far bigger band and contributed to far more memorable songs and and records. Might want brush up on your music or clean the cum out your ears.
@@kjek1 part two: Note that I specifically said MK has written more great songs, not claiming who has more songs known and loved internationally. (I'd be more than able to argue that point as well, but it wasn't what I said.) David Gilmour and Pink Floyd didn't create that many great songs in their long history. I was playing Pink Floyd records on a university radio station as DJ there when they weren't even that well-known. But the actual songs can't compare in number and quality to MK's output with Dire Straits and in his longer solo career. The solo albums, at least the first five or six, contain many great songs by MK who has been an excellent songwriter for a long time.
Sir Stirling Moss and Mark Knopfler - two of the most gentlemanlike and genius persons i know of.
MARK knopfler, the BEST musician on the world...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇵🇹✌✌
Is true...
One of my all time favourites. I could listen to this over and over again.
Always a pleasure. Mark, Guy, this song, everything...
It's amazing: you listen to two seconds of Mark Knopfler and you know it's him and you want to hear more.
Just wanted to tell you how much, your music has meant to me and how it has made my life. Just a little better. I was a young man when I first heard you play. I still remember how it made me feel, all those years ago. Truly amazing. Great success.
Protect this man at all costs!❤️
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, i'm not complete without you as my Fan 🌹 I have you to be most thankful for 🌹🌹❤💕💕
The definitive piece of 'classical' music. Our generations Mozart. This piece of music, and I don't know why, always tears me up. Probably because it is pure.
Says who? No one. Even Mozart would be disappointed with you for saying this.
@@NoOne-kr4jc I doubt Nimesh had thought that far ahead.
My goal for that response was first , you thought yourself worthy enough to judge who should be compared to whom, which obviously none of us are. Not me not you. And that too you are taking big names here. Two, it's music , so why not enjoy and why do you feel it is compulsory to let one artist down in comparison to others. Just enjoy!!
@@NoOne-kr4jc Quite. Whilst Knopfler might not be Mozart. John Cage?!!!
Can we please stop for a minute and appreciate his raw talent..this is what matters in this world.
God bless him!
...and a long life...
I saw him going over his evolution as a guitar player. It's amazing how he went from pick to fingerpick and then had the AHA moment when he developed his tone. Went from 3 fingers + thumb to 2 fingers + thumb. He said "then I became the guitar's teacher nightmare". Well, someone's nightmare is many's dream! His tone and phrasing are inimitable.
Just sat here watching listening and in tears about me dad. Mark what are you trying to do to us all 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻👌🏻
Makes me remember my parents, who are long gone now. Such a sweet piece.
Me too. The version from “Alchemy” is my enduring favorite and it always makes me think of my Mom in particular. She was not a rock fan but she loved the tape of “Alchemy” I gave her.
Saw Mark and the band for the first time in Newcastle 2019 in his home town. I could not stop smiling for a week! Literally the hairs were standing in the back of my neck! You have got to at least once, go to a show 👏👏👏
Too late - 2019 was the latest and the last tour. He said farewell in every city.
I saw Dire Straights in 1979 and it took me a week to come down.
Was at the same gig, very special night👍❤️
I saw Dire Straits live in 1992. A truly unique, unforgettable and joyous experience. Mark is a genius.
I did - last year at Madison Square Garden in NYC and what a great show!! Mark Knopfler had been on my bucket list for years and I finally got to see him and his band and Bonnie Raitt! I am so glad I went to see him before all the COVID shutdowns and concert cancellations.
Simply the best. Thankyou for the music Mark. You've played yourself into eternity.
My great hero. Such a sincere man. Always chose his passion for music over fame. One of the few.. I love you Mark.
Mark is my definition of a soulful human.
One guitar, one amp and one key, creating the heaven sound, it's the magic MK made for us
No one does it like you Mark🎶🎸You're one in a million🥰❤️
Hello Joan, how are you doing. I'm Jones from Virginia. I hope you are doing well and staying safe. I'm looking for new friend hope you don't mind
This piece always feels so in depth .. as if the notes themselves are emotional. ♫•*¨*•.¸¸✿¸¸.•*¨*•♫
Grand tribute to Sterling Moss.
No words as you can plainly see the emotion in Marks face.....
If ever a man was blessed with too much talent in one body.
What a genius, he gets better as time goes by, always brilliant, never tire of watching and hearing a master who so many have copied but never came any where close to the amazing MK.
Love him too mate but he doesn’t get better with time. Forever an all time great but a shadow of the player he once was.
@@davidfairbairn8 unfortunately you're right, his playing has got sloppy with age and he doesn't look like he cares. This performance here is a prime example, even his tone sounds harsh. Still one of the greatest to ever do it though, but i agree his playing has gone downhill the last 10 yrs or so, i saw him in concert in Newcastle in 2013 and he didn't even look bothered, considering it was his home town he just had no energy and he played everything too slow.
Always will be one of my faves!
@@davidfairbairn8 absolutely! 👌
Mr.Mark Knopfler is a genuis musician.He is a guitar master.His way of playing is special.Thank you Mr.Knopfler for the joy you brought us.
Beautiful tune with great feeling
I had a dream once for you to come to my city and play a concert, years later it came true it was a concert from the TAURON hall
near the aviation brain in Krakow 2015 and I live literally 20 minutes walk for him Thank you Mark !!!!!

Knopfler - Creates a sound like no other guitarist. Ever. My cherished and favourite musician.
Enjoy the pure music ❤️🥰
This is a precious tribute for Sir Stirling Moss, and Mark is a wonderful gift to the world.
My life is punctuated with classics from the straights and Marks solo stuff. From the first white album through telegraph road to brothers in arms and beyond we have had some good times along the way - thank you Mark for a life times brilliant music - and more to come i hope
Me too! As a 10 year old stealing my dad's cassette tape out of his car to be able to listen to Alchemy, it was the start of a long road ahead of amazing music. Still listening each week, still loving every note.
I cry every time I hear this. Just stunning music
Mark Knopfler =PERFECTION....GOD BLESS YOU READING THIS...
My favorite musician of all times playing in an race car event which is my favorite sport of all times Just amazing
Grazie Mark sei sempre il migliore..
What a great version of local hero. 👍🏻. In honour of sir Stirling Moss. Well done Mr Knopfler & Mr Fletcher. I've followed you since 1978. 🏴. This is all the heaven we have, right here and right now.
Hello 👋 Glenda. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
@@markclifford1857 my name is Glen Campbell.
I am a from Scotland, Great Britain and iam a male.
This song always give me shivers... So emotional, so deep... I don't know why, makes me almost cry
Must have come back to this 100 times, perfect.
A gift from God
And with the ever faithful Guy Fletcher beside him. Perfect
came looking for this.
May you live more than 1000 years..God do give my remaining life to him too.👍🙏
.. Sometimes I wonder why time has to go by so fast ..
I was a child ... when I watched my play friend's dad on the television, you with the red headband and the red cuff ...
I listened to that music that I didn't understand, but that made me so happy.
I took this music with me ...
I found that those notes came from a group, from a man with a name ...
I took a guitar and spent hours trying to play those notes ... but to my regret I found that although the notes were (more or less) the same, the melody was completely different ...
That's why I say Mark thank you for existing and thank you for everything you wrote in the past.
RIP Sir Stirling Moss, thank you so much for this tribute Mark, it means the world his fans, friends and family, God bless you ❤👍
What i love in his guitar playing is the finesse of his tunes, how he relies on the notes to tell a story. No need to shred, no overplaying, just class and feeling
knopfler has magical tone.just mesmerising,and dreamy.long live mark
Brings a tear to this old man's eye. It hurts in a good way, though
A beautiful and wonderful tribute; without a single word!
Mark Knopfler: Certified human being and guitar genius ~ ~ ~
my God
since I was 13 back in 1980 and heard Tunnel of Love the first time
I cry every time I hear him
love you always Mark
Thank you Mark. The coolest thing I ever heard Sterling Moss from was describing how you should "present the car to the corner". I wish I could remember the exact words and where it was but it definitely stuck with me.
I love that movie and Knopfler’s soundtrack is stunning.
@Froebel Rebello Local Hero. This is the theme tune from it. Lovely 80s film set in Scotland. Very young Peter Capaldi is in it. My all time favourite film.
No words to say. You're the best of the world. I love you forever.😘😘😘😘
One year since I viewed this. And by God ain’t this something. Music from heaven.I’m stuck for words.
Douglas Adams nailed it
“Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff drink.”
4 people must have been watching this upside down and mistook the thumbs down for a thumbs up
Mark + Les Paul + Going Home = Perfection
One of the best players EVER
(Class melody to boot)
When Mark was born, he was accidentally given 10x more talent than everyone else. What a blessing it is to have someone this good writing and performing in our lifetime
A man loved and respected by all,
For me, my heart is his home. Always happy for him to come in.
Hello 👋 Valerie. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
WOW. What a feeling!!! Great Mark!!!
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, i'm not complete without you as my Fan 🌹 I have you to be most thankful for 🌹🌹❤💕💕
Without doubt a timeless classic..one of my favourites..but then he has so many..keep on rocking Mark..stay safe dude..
Always been a DS/Knopfler fan,age has not dimmed this man's absolute mastery of the guitar. There are very few at his level,genius.
Definitely one of the greatest guitar players of our shores ✌️
This piece of music hits something in me I can't explain? So I will call it a magical experience, it's just epic!!! ❤❤❤
Wow, I can so relate to many of you when reading the comments, I am 44, living in Canada since i was 14, but my youth I spend in Poland, country I was born in and where I was exposed for the first time to Mark's music and Dire Straits back then. Mark's music always remained big part of my life, when life throws a curveball I find an isolated happy place just laying down with headphones on and listening to his music, it acts as therapy for me when times are tough, I hope you're all well and safe, I feel like we are all brothers and sisters and the link that joins us together is Mark's music.
Best regards to you all, and thank you Mark, not just for music, but for your character and humanity you blessed us all with over the years, and continue to do so. 🍻
