    The Alchemy Live performance of this song is my favourite live performance of all time. I would honestly say it improves on the studio version more than you could imagine.

    This whole album, "Love Over Gold" is great, only 5 songs most too long for classic radio play, so only true fans that bought the physical album knew how good it was. The intro to some songs were longer than whole songs from bands just trying for a single for the air.
    This is a real headphone record.

    Absolute classic, and my favorite Dire Straits track out of many. I don't think there is a note or an instrument or a musical idea out of place. The story itself is compelling. For me though, the most brilliant part of the song is the interplay of Pick Withers' galloping drums and Knopfler's blistering guitar work at the end of the song. The thing brings me to tears.

    Hi again, this is such an amazing track. I need to hear it again ...on headphones with my eyes closed. I cry everytime in the final minutes.The album is brilliant ! Bob Dylan famously went to watch Dire Straits live when they first began. He was so overwhelmed he went up onto the stage and hugged Mark....Later Mark was featured on Bob Dylans album "Slow Train Coming". I have mentioned also, Mark is on Phil Lynott's solo album "Solo in Soho". This track, the volume rises & falls numerous times, just like on a movie soundtrack. Their studio albums are absolute classics. Checkout "Private Investigations" from this same album....Now there is an atmospheric track. This was an unexpected treat. Loved it. Thankyou ! Byee Jim

    @williamlucas4656 Год назад +3

    Dire Straits definitely has a distinctive sound and Mark Knopfler contributes greatly towards the Springsteen like effect with his guitar playing.The whole sound reminds me of a sort of 50s rock ‘n’ roll composition but this case without the saxophone or glockenspiel in Springsteen music arrangements. The piano and the guitar shine through, and the vocals are a spoken Springsteen-esque style. His guitar picking reminds me of early Clapton but in an almost banjo picking or resonator style.

  • @MrRandyman74
    @MrRandyman74 Год назад +1

    Nearly in the middle of the song (a piano part) you took a sip of your cup and I don't know why but it felt like that point in the song was made for exactly this: taking a sip of tea or a really good whiskey...just consuming a good drop of whatever to accompany an just as good piece of music. It was just a funny coincidence.

    The whole LOG album is a treat. “Private Investigations” is an experience. I’m particularly enamored with the solo outro on “It Never Rains,” a hidden gem of Mark’s “angrier” side.
    Give “Making Movies” another listen, especially the first three tracks. Beautiful musicianship, lyrics.
    Same with “Brothers In Arms.” Sure, “Money for Nothing” gets most of the attention due to MTV, but the whole album is a masterpiece. The second side has an “anti-war” theme, starting with “Ride Across The River” (phenomenal!) finishing with the title track, which you MUST hear in its entirety (the official video is shortened).
    Their last studio album “On Every Street” didn’t live up to the success of BIA, but is still a good listen. Standout tracks include “Calling Elvis” (Toto’s Jeff Porcaro on drums), “You & Your Friend” and “Planet of New Orleans.”
    Once you’re caught up on DS, there’s Mark’s solo albums… nine, with a tenth album currently in the works. Plus another bunch of movie soundtrack albums, including “The Princess Bride.” The album “Screenplaying” is a compilation from four movies he’s composed for.
    Last, but not least: “Neck and Neck,” with Mark and the late great Chet Atkins. Masterful x2.
    Alchemy Live… can’t forget that! I wish iTunes had it. :(

    • @MattVogt2

    Magic happens while of enjoy to doing music with passion , flow and for shure great creation by Knowledge . The chemistry between the entire band was breathtaking that Time .I would rank Mark Knopfler among Unic's top guitarists, there is no way to copy that style. Left hand like Jimi but playing righthand 3-Fingerstyle , singing like Bob Dylan but different . What a treasure of musical creativity was given to us by God's grace at this time. Unique, epic, enchanting, harmonious and full of dreams that needed to be lived.
    Even Mozart would have enjoyed their way of telling a story with harmonies.
    It is more than music , it's like a prayer's speech , follow your heart and don't lose the way !

    @lewismaddox4132 Год назад +1

    I agree with you. When you have a virtuoso in your studio like Mark Knopfler, and you don't take advantage of it, it's a sad day in rock n roll. Strange, with how much insanely complex, emotional and beautiful music Mark created, he doesn't read music. I don't know how he got the sounds and ideas across to the other musicians, but he certainly did.
    However, that's not how the Dan operates. They not only use strict time signatures and written music, they have very precise rhythm charts that their usual players follow to the letter. The fact that their styles are quite different was never communicated ahead of time. Odd.
    I do like what Mark laid down, as economical as it is.

    Nick, have you ever checked out the playing style of Wilko Johnson? Very unique finger strumming, kind of playing lead and rhythm at the same time with alternating up and down motion. He passed away recently. Look for anything by Dr. Feelgood - he wrote a lot of their original songs and was a quite menacing stage presence.

    On the whole, I like Mark Knopfler's guitar playing more than I like Dire Straits. He inspired me to learn to play with my fingers just because there are so many possibilities to explore with those techniques. Of course , there are folk and country players who take it to a whole other level. This is a fun one to jam over the chords. D minor, like most of my favourite Dire Straits songs. I think Tunnel of Love is even better.

    @rudolfbecker4313 Год назад

    No album of them ever reached the magic of the first Dire Straits album. Not only that it was new, fresh, only has good songs, but also due to the fact, that I saw them live in June 79 right after Communique came out. They played open air in one of or even the most beautiful open air venues in Germany : The Lorely Amphitheatre in the hills right above river Rhine, every time I've been there I was enchanted by the sundown ... in connection with the music being played. So it was one of those magic nights, when Dire Straits entered the stage, starting with Down to the waterline, Six blade knife, Once upon the time in the west, Water of Love (we all felt the love in the air ❣😀) and Sultans of Swing. Simply epic and they even stole the show from Barclay James Harvest, back then really huge and famous in Germany ... (Narvik might be envious, unless he was there 😂)
    All the later albums had single great songs, just like telegraph road - which is IMO a little too long - and my alltime favourite besides the first album - the song Brothers in arms, a song for eternity.

    Love the "Dan" and your comment on Donalds obsession with perfection. It led to absolutely awesome music but Marks play by ear picking style is borderline perfection and so unique. Love it! Also liked your reference to "In the Gallery". One of my favorites. Please check out "INDUSTRIAL DISEASE" also off "Love Over Gold".

    Ah the famous Knopfler hen clucking finger-pick style he's made his trademark over the years.The man is unique and a top tenner axe meister.

    Hi Nick, I've just seen this.... Oh boy what a track !!! Everyone has their own cinematic experience .. my final scene is this very long deserted road, with only some old Telegraph Pylons that just stop halfway, then, a dirt track leading to the end of a cliff. Knopfler is on fire with this that gives me goosebumps everytime. This will be the 1st time I've played this in years with my eyes open. Just what will your reaction be ?

    You should hear this live! I saw them many many times, including for the Alchemy show (where I went backstage afterwards and have a great photo 😂)

    You guys should really do a full album reaction to Alchemy. But for individual songs, making Movies is great, you guys should do a listen to Romeo and Juliet and Tunnel of Love

    My favourite DS album, which is to me what their first album is to you (closely followed by Brothers in Arms).

    Love Over Gold is Dire Strait’s most underrated album, with only five songs but they stretch out on all of them to an unusual length, especially with this song. My favorite on this album is the last song, “It Never Rains,” which just builds and builds until it reaches majesty. But I think their best album is Making Movies, where nearly every song is backed by members of Springsteen’s E Street Band, and they’re all classics. Check that out next!

    Dire Straits provided an incredible 20 minutes of music with the first side of Love over Gold album. Opening with Telegraph Road, and then Private Investigations, we were treated to emotional atmospheric music only bettered in their live performances with the Alchemy album.

    Not a big Knopler fan, but it warms the cockles of my musical soul that someone who doesn't just try to write hits and creates such high quality music had been so very successful. Kudos, bro.

    As has been said, you now should watch the Alchemy live version, it's incredible. After that listen to Tunnel of Love, but make sure you hear the studio version then the live version.

    My favorite Dire Straits tune as well. This album and the first are their best...hard to say which one is a favorite, they're very different. But I think the band's playing is at its best on this album. I disagree about the sound...I think the production is great, but everyone's ear is different. Thanks for the listen on this one...enjoyed it.

    Big fan of Dire Straights. There are lots of good songs to play other than the usual hits from the Brothers in Arms album. Favorite album...On Every Street.

    Mark had Roy Bitten on the previous album so I guess he knows a bit about 'Springsteen Keys'.
