The golden age of Dire Straits
I was there that night. Never forget this concert. Most people came for Roxy Music or Mike Oldfield but Dire Straits blew them all away.
I was also there, serving in the Raf, after the concert got dropped off at Dusseldorf Airport to fly home for Christmas. It was also the night Roxy Music played Jealous Guy, for the first time. Great times.
@@davidbootland3407 Yes it was just 14 days after John Lennon was murdered and Dire Straits played the Song "News" for him. Was very emotional. But also the first time, that Mark Knopfler played a Schecter guitar in Europe. I still remember staring his guitar and only thought "That´s not a Fender"😄
Can't believe how cheap it was for that night, imagine what they would try and charge for four bands of that status in one show nowadays.
I was also there knopfler was just sweeping his hair over his baldy dome all night.but he can play 3 chords pretty avarage
@@williamglover3625 Get some taste, Willydumdum
The way Mark swings his guitar at 2:30 when there's that small "break" is just simple, short but still wonderful. He just plays his guitar with such passion that it's a part of his body!
For sure. Good way to put it - his guitar is an extension of his body.
"No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn, your hands are cold but your lips are warm" transports me back in time. I still feel the way I felt 40 years ago.
I was 17 yo in the 1979 and was smitten by this song and Sultans of Swing when a friend lent me his cassette tape. Just could get my ears of the player then.
Simply sublime. National treasure.... Hell, international treasure is Mark Knopfler. The whole band were full of utter class. Imagine a world without DS and Mark Knopfler.... No thanks. Lol. No words can give justice to how talented Knopfler is with songwriting, from its creation to its live performance. Wow!
MARK knopfler é um patrimônio da humanidade
He’s the total package! Fantastic guitarist, great lyricist and incredibly cool front man/singer.
speaking to you from the states sir-have to agree-international treasure comes closer
@@doubtingthomas51 absolutely 😊
Man kann sich nicht satt hören daran.
1980...Und immer noch frisch. Unglaublich, die Musik damals. Das kommt nie mehr.
The beginning of the schecter era... How many wonderful gigs deserve to be remastered and published for all the fans.
So good he changed the pickups
He has never played a schecter.
@@jipangoo I think he played at least one Schecter. That red guitar he played in that concert is a Schecter. 🎸
@@Gitarreroblue it's his red stratocaster. He has never ever played a schecter. Look it up.
Schecter era????????
Some people just love to lie.
I remember Mark saying of his 1st guitar he played the basic note until he felt sick... and so the basics create what we live and enjoy in eternity... 😎
It's simple: Mark Knopfler is the best guitar player in the world!
No he's not so shut it ok😊
One of the greatest rock guitar player
É quem não gosta ponha á borda do prato
@@williamglover3625 Get some taste, Willydummy
Best guitar thumb of all time.😊
This whole band is legend 👍
That's how you play a Fender. Awesome Mark, you rock!
Yep, despite the clean "in between" tone.
You don't necessarily need "High Gain" to play real R'n'R, just another "weird" song!!
Love these old concert clips - would love it even more if the full shows were released to buy!
I was at this show, 4 awesome bands for less than you would pay for a drink at a gig nowadays.
@@davidbootland3407 I saw DS for $32 in 1992; MK solo in 1997 was $79 and $99. Pass!
@@davidbootland3407 You can't imagine how jealous I am... I'm 18 years old and saying that I love Dire Straits is an understatement. I would give everything to experience them live. Too bad I won't be able to.
@FVT-tn8ji I also saw them again around 6 months later in Dusseldorf, myself and 2 friends went into Munchengladbach in the afternoon and managed to get tickets for the gig and travelled up the same day. Brilliant live, never got to see them again.
Dire Straits is the most best band on the world! Their music is so delights me, so inspires and so impresses! Mark Knopfler is genius! Legend!
I always felt its the whole band…not just mark knopfler…because dire straits sounds incredibly musical.though its based on mark knopfler’s direction and ideas,the band members played crucial role in creating the DS sound.its simply unmatched
good comment, facts
Truth
Yes. They are a great band. The organ gets too loud a and messes up Lions but it's great. Pick Withers was and still is a fantastic drummer. Right here he may be the most impressive one on the stage. At this point they have those older songs whooped.
Agree. At this time in the early 80's, they were one of the best live bands in the world.
@@deanallen927 Mark was still using vintage-type amps with the new amped-up band. Once he improved his guitar power with mellower pickups but louder amps, the balance was fixed.
The best! 👏👏👏👏🎶🎸🇧🇷
Я заметил что в Бразилии очень много людей любят эту группу! 👍
Sim
His right hand is lethal. He’s definitely one of my favourite guitar players. Grew up listening to this guy
But he's actually left-handed!
Yep. I learned he’s actually left-handed but plays right-handed and also picks the strings, which is incredible!
Entertainer that sing by heart through his voice and fingers.....
Mark Knopfler my superhero on guitar since a long time 🤗👍🎸
Came for the live version of the first song, return daily for the second one
BEST OF BEST.Mark Knopfler is an genius of the music.I LOVE this.
Bravo👏👏👏
Great music and fantastic band !
I love these early songs so much. It's just great to hear (to me) previously unheard versions after all these years.
What a wonderful DS treasure from the early 80s, incl. the great Schecter in its first guise. Lovely loose spontaneous playing by the whole band, full of energy and playing pleasure. A joy to watch. More of this please.
Mark Knopfler wrote the soundtrack to my life. Thankyou Sir. Absolutely love all of your music.
Hopefully we will get to see you again in New Zealand.
❤Dire Straits KOCHAM od pierwszego usłyszenia do dzisiaj 🙌🎶🎶🎸💕💞💓💥💥💯
i am always in a trance... MK is always running thro' my mind and always in a loop...
Knofler leads the orchestra,marvelous...
Mark o melhor guitarrista do mundo
This will always be my favorite dire straits song to the lyrics take me back to when I was a poor young man living on the road. And his guitar is so sweet!
This is perfect song to a ending a Tarantino movie!!!
Cosa dire:!!!!What to say:!!!!MASTER LEGEND of " MUSIC "
It was 1980 when i've first time heard TUNNEL OF LOVE when i've discovered the DIRE STRAITS
Today i'm still listenig THEM
Such a GREAT "MUSIC"
I'm so grateful. THANKS
Those were the days when you had to decide whether to buy records or food, had no problem buying the first album, still some of their best ❤
The days when I had to save up to buy records.
Food for the SOUL... Early Dire Straits🎶🎸🤍😊🌠
right-tho sometimes a record turned out to be the heartiest, most sustaining meal
DIRE STRAITS A MELHOR BANDA DO PLANETA !!! SIMPLESMENTE THE BEST !!! 👋👋👋👍👍👍
When I was 14, I used to frequent a record shop called "Kithareon" in my home town of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. The owner, knowing my musical tastes, motioned me to the listening booth and said, "what do you think of this new band, and this, the first song on the album, blew me away. I later moved towards heavy metal, ending up for 15 years as the lead singer, lead guitarist and songwriter of a heavy metal band called The Uninvited.
But I always have time for some Dire Straits. And this song still blows me away, although several DS songs do now. I have all their albums on cassette, CD and as digital downloads.
I have the first 3 original vinyl LP's..
Totally worn down, from lifting the tunes.
If you weren't there, you can't understand what a big deal Dire Straits where at the time..
Я незнаю инглишь но я слушаю их ещё с 86 года. О мой год что за виртуоз этот Марк?!
Probably the best version of the band with the steady, staccato drumming of Pick Withers and the strong rhythm playing of Hal Lindes. I love Terry Williams, but it was a different sound when he played: heavier and more rock-n-roll. Pick always seemed like more of a jazz drummer, which is my preference for this type of music. Wish I could've seen them back then. To those of you who did, much envy!
Adoro Dire Straits, ouço sempre
Really excited to see this…could you please upload the whole concert
Mark Knopler is in a class all his own. Absolute, great guitarist. Fashioned his style from the great guitarist, Chet Atkins. Love Dire Straits!!
Love,love!!
L'un de mes titres préférés de Dire Straits depuis de longues années. Ce " live " est formidable tout comme le " live " et le solo de M.K pour Sultans of swing. Un REGAL :)
Yeahhhhhh saw them at amphitheater los Angeles. Leftme speechless and forever awed
J'adore se groupe
This is a fantastic album,
I just love hearing the music it's the bomb
Одна из лучших груп планеты, великолепная музыка и мастерство исполнения с первых минут очаровывают и проникают в сердце навсегда.
Это факт! Столько лет прошло, а его песни не надоедают.
Согласна на все сто!❤
Dire Straits always gonna be the best. I love all this music Sir MK , in de band there are so lovely. Dire Straits they're never disappear, they're always stay in my heart forever. Thank you so much to share your lovely music around the world🌎🎸🎸🎸💜🎸❤🎸💕💕💕💋🍀
Virtuosité. FOUGUE. talent. Pas d'hystérie. Bravo
I wish I could've seen them in concert.
Way ahead of their time. Writing the future classics to go down in history and still be appreciated longer after they're hits. Shame that so many failures are in popular music.
Loved it...and I"m old. Listened to them years ago back when MTV was hot.
Sangue e sudore per tirare fuori l ' anima da queste belle canzoni Rock .bravi Dires.
Wonderful upbeat performance. Love it.
I was at this concert, I was serving in RAF at Wildenrath at the time. Also on the bill were Roxy Music, Talking Heads and Mike Oldfield, all for equivalent of about £5. A brilliant show that ended at about 3 in the morning.
They never failed to entertain me
One of my absolute Dire Straits favourites. I can't imagine why he stopped playing it in 1981 but it's a shame.
Same here. First track on the first Dire Straits album I bought back in 1980. Still a classic.
You mean 1982 I guess, 1981 was still on location. Tour, this one... Both songs were played in 1981.
Шикарно!!! Это называется Великолепная Музыка! Великолепный Музыкант! Музыка на Всю Жизнь.
Точно!!!
Great quality!! 👏👏
Thanks! You've made my morning! 🎶🎵☮️🕊
I’M IN LOVE! Oh, and the bass is AMAZING too!
Sempre unico e stupendo Mark ❤
MK O MELHOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS ♥️🇧🇷
For the lover of Dire Straits I suggest to see the italian group video of “Where Do You Think You Are
Going (Live in Verona)”. Excellent group and guitars.
❤ love for Dire Straits.
Molto bravo e molto giovane in questo video Mark Knofler .
Io sono particolarmente orgogliosa , pk. Il papà era fuggito dal Ungheria .
Chissà , che cosa diventava se non incontrava un brava ragazza inglese .
Mark è cresciuto di una bellissima famiglia , che aiutava per la passione della musica , anche quando, invidiava il suo mito Hank Marvin con la chitarra elettrica rossa .
Complimenti Mark , ha superato il maestro !
Da una signora di over 70 , ed anche vengo dall' Ungheria!
Minden jót, és még sok sikert az életben.
I have always Loved Mark KNOPFLER. His GUITAR PLAYING IS HEAVEN.❤🎉😂😢😮😅😊
Beautiful l love them!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS I LOVE DIRE STRAITS 😍🤩🤎💜💙💚💗💞💕🤩😍💖🌻💚💙💗🤍🖤🌻❣❤
Dire Straits simply the Best of Best
Hoping he’ll tour (at least one more time) after he releases his next record this year. I’ve seen him (with Dire Straits and solo) 20+ times and they are some of my best music memories.
@@jaoski13 I envy you! I heard he retired several years ago. Would be nice if he changes his mind.
Sensacional essa banda é perfeita são maravilhosos ❤❤❤👏👏👏
Марк бог!Марк "кит в окране музыки". Каждая капля музыки-это нота.Марк - бог который равномерно их распределяет.От этой музыки хочется жить.Люблю,люблю-спасибо дорогой!!!❤❤❤
Россия тебя любит Марк!!!
Россия не змея никого не хочет убить.Мы не звери.Нас напрасно оговаривают.Да не трогайте вы своих,я к ним пришла!Я такая ,музыка не при чем.Марк достоянье всей Европы!
Это уникальный человек. Он просто в университете изучал историю.Моего Марка нельзя трогать.Э то великая музыка!

It would be a dream come true to see Mark in concert. 11:01am
Man, I played the crap out of this album when it came out! Kinda saved rock music at the time, or at least one of the late 70's albums that helped push disco away. (also George Thorogood and Joe Jackson)
Un fantastico Mark con la sua chitarra e bravo il batterista fondatore della band
Man, this is so fu***g awesone!! Love Dire Straits!!!
ايام العز ليفيربول=دايستريت....الشمس والبحر...المغاارات المفقودة....!يا ليث الشباب يعود يوما............!
