I've watched a few of your dire Straits reaction videos. Seems like you guys love solid guitar work. If you want to hear some awesome stuff check out kfir ocheon (apologies if I spelt his surname wrong.) Kfir would almost work I think. No singing. He plays guitar over is own guitar as a the vocal melody. And does some covers that sound better than the originals with his twist on them..
I second the vote for the Alchemy version of this. It is unbelievable.
I third, fourth, fifth and whatever comes after that this comment.
Agreed, awesome though the studio track is, the Alchemy version has become the definitive version for me.
check out the version from the nelson mandela birthday tribute concert from wembley in 1988
May i ask why? I have only heard bits of the alchemy version but wasn’t my thing really
@@danielbergeespe1636 the guitar playing is next level and the drummer is killing it. I’m not usually a fan of live versions over the studio version but this is exceptional.
Nobody else on guitar sounds like Mark Knopfler. He’s always been one of a kind.
I agree!!!!
Oh yeah!
mark and gilmour... different than rest musicians
Alchemy live version of sultans of swing next lads, it's a totally different animal and look out for the drummer :)
Agree with this!!!!
Agreed! It's the definitive edition
Yes indeedy, a whole new level. And you will both be seeing it for the first time, which would be cool. The drummer is mindblowing. Well, they all are to be fair. A must view!
The drummer is actually better than Mark Knopfler on that performance, albeit on a different instrument, but you focus so much on MK, you don't notice the drummer which is sad.
Terry Williams, the drummer at the time (1983) really takes this song to another level, and makes any others version of it boring.
The live version Alchemy Live the solo lasts around 5 minutes guys
Your brain will explode if you listen to the Alchemy version...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing beats the studio version.
I agree. It's the best ever. The first time I listened to it I listened to it for 5 hours straight. Not kidding.
The lead guitarist is Mark Knopler, also the singer. For me is one of the most tasteful players around. His playing on “Brothers in Arms” will give you chills.
A third vote for the live version of this track from Alchemy. Electric guitars, longer solo, a different feel.
The solo's weren't acoustic. they were Mark's beloved Red Stratocaster, finger picked.
Not a guitar pick to be found! ☺
You need to listen to the Alchemy Live version of this track. Dire Straits have some many great songs. I recommend Tunnel of Love & Brothers in Arms as just a couple to check out.
Mark Knopfler on lead guitar and vocals is also a brilliant songwriter and a true musical genius.
The song is a tribute to working class bands that play just for the fun of it. Knopfler walked into a place off the street and there was a jazz band playing and he stayed to listen. He requested the song Creole, which they played for him. But the place was practically empty, just a few groups of friends sitting away from the stage and ignoring the band altogether. It struck him that they clearly enjoyed playing music for the love of it, even though most of the bar wasn't paying any attention. A bit later his recollection of that band and that night came back to him as he wrote the song.
I also love watching the Alchemy Live version, but I reserve a lot of love for this studio version that feels less aware of its greatness as it is carried along by his brilliance on that Stratocaster.
I’m joining all the other posters who have suggested the “Alchemy “ version of this song, simply because of the amazing extended guitar work and the drumming prowess.
I still would love to hear your reactions to Gerry Rafferty and the live jam version of “Get it Right Next Time”.
Love you guys, keep up the good work.
1 of the few reaction channels with the brains and respect to listen to the recorded versions of songs that are a 1st time listen.
Mark Knopfler plays without plectrum. Makes Magic¡!!
and a left-handed playing with the right hand
Again, the Alchemy version is a must. That first album, also called Dire Straits, has got that easy, laid back groove, really good album. My go to song of theirs is off another album though, Love Over Gold, Telegraph Road live or studio is a must listen, a 14 minute journey that's worth every second
You have to to listen "Sultan of swing" on the Alchemy live !!! : one the best guitar solo ever !!
Hear the same song from Alchemy Live, great performance with a great ending.
Alchemy is a must!
Alchemy version will blow your mind.
Telegraph road is another must!!!
Thanks guys!!!
An all-time favorite of mine growing up in the 70s and 80s.
This song is about a band playing one night and what all they see out in the venue and what goes on while they're on stage.
Beautiful tune! After nearly 40 years, it has NEVER gotten old and it never will.
Everyone who suggested this gem knew you two would love this song. Dire Straits were one of the most influential bands of the 80's. Check out "Money For Nothing". Thanks!😊🌟
Good call. As long as they don't end up with the censored version.
It is indeed about getting out of the rain by going into a bar and finding a band playing.
it's two guitars. Lead and rhythm. Mark K is amazing. That super clean sound hides nothing. Any tiny flaw will be obvious.
The Alchemy version of this. It is unbelievable !!!!
I agree. It's the best ever. The first time I listened to it I listened to it for 5 hours straight. Not kidding.
This is the original version . Mark Knopfler vocals and lead guitar, John Ilsley on bass, David Knopfler ( Marks brother) on (electric) rhythm guitar and Pick Withers on drums.
You must watch Alchemy live version of this song it will blow your mind.The talent is unreal.
I have listened this amazing solo a million times I think. Correct me if I am wrong but I find possible that the first 32 bars got some Spanish influence. Don not understand me wrongly, it is astounding and, in a way of saying, haunting. Positively meaning, of course. I remember that I was 13 when I listened Dire Straits for the first time in my life, ”Lady Writer”, on a pirated casette... let us not forget that we were in 80s communist Romania. I listened it again 15 years later and I was so full of joy... like a child on Christmas Day. Great job, guys, enjoying every view.
Dire Straits est mon groupe préféré et grâce à cette chanson j'ai découvert la guitare et maintenant j'en fais.😱❤️🎸👍🏻🤩😎🇬🇧
I LOVE your reviews! Thank you for your honesty and your passion and the fact you're brothers and you disagree at times! You'r a pleasure to watch and your English is epic and a giant cheer for your channel from the west coast of Canada!
1 Guitar 1 Man. Mark knopfler is a god. No guitar picks, just his hands and his fender Stratocaster. Magic 😍
Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists in the world.
@BroAction Mark Knopfler often wrote songs about everyday life and his experiences. He walked into a pub in south London and saw a band playing. He is describing the pub patrons (they don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band) and he is describing the band members (he's got a daytime job, he's doing all right). He is describing the band's love of music without any desire for fame.
I'd like to put my vote in for the live Alchemy version of this. Dire Straits does to this song what Pink Floyd did to Comfortably Numb in Pulse. Completely off the hook.
Then check out 'Lady Writer' by them.
When this was released, it was such a laid back reaction, to the brashness of punk! So, you gotta do "Brothers in Arms" by them!
Been hearing this song for many years...it gets more stunning each time 😊
No acustic guitar, just Mark, and it is a true story how he went to a place in South London :) 🤘🤘🤘
Beautiful!!! I suggest Tunnel of love and Brothers in Arms. Amazing songs......Much bless guys ❤❤
Yes, they're playing in the corner of the room at the local pub. And the singer explains that it doesn't matter whatever else is going on in their lives, when they got on stage at the local pub on a friday night they become the Sultans of Swing - the Kings of Swing; the rest of the. narrative. deals with the 'punters' - the customers who come and go, their reasons why they stay or don't, and how that doesn't matter to the band because. when they play they are musically 'in their zone', kings of the moment as they play.
If you find this amazing, the Alchemy version is an absolute must...and it’s an electric guitar not acoustic, it’s played with fingers not a plectrum.
Go for the Alchemy live version of this song! You'll be killed by Mark's guitar solo🙂👍🤘
I think Mark is the sweetest rock guitar maestro in the world!
Live at alchemy! Triple the lenght, ten times the awesome. I know everyone has been posting this request, but it cannot be overstated. Do it!
"I'm gonna punch them", love ti. The guitar fills are ridiculous.
You should listen to Brothers in Arms Live on the Night...knopflers playing so unique, his feeling for melody is just unbelievable
Like everybody else says, try the Alchemy version. Also, Brothers in Arms, soo beautiful. Great video!
Love Dire Straits. Try "Romeo and Juliet," "Once Upon a Time in the West," almost anything from the "Communiqué" album. Mark Knopfler (guitar/vocals) is a god.
Seeing them live, bring down the House. Can't ever forget that.
If you dont want the solo to end watch the Alchemy LIVE version
Hey, just caught on to you guys. You sold me with this review. Great to see the appreciation of this song and the guitar playing of Mark Knophler.
Dire Straits "Down by the Water Line" is another killer song from their first album.
Down to the Water Line
You MUST listen to the live version of Alchemy (1983), where the solo goes wild and fantastic, extended to till the really end of an extended song!!!
You guys need to see the live version of this. You'll understand more about Mark's unbelievable guitar playing.
Edit: I think this is the best Sultans of Swing live version check it out
ruclips.net/video/cJwJ11-pmxg/видео.html
You guys are one of the best reviews I've heard. You stopped & continued at the right times...that's commendable! Listen to the Alchemy version next. Please and thank you...
It is a joy to see your reaction to The music of my own youth , continue your Rock and Roll journey through the past , be warned it may be endless.....
Watch the live version from the Alchemy tour, and react to Mark Knopfler's guitar - no pick , all fingers (and its all him - no second gutiar except rythym). The outro solo is one for the ages - incredible. Then watch "Telegraph Road" for another Knopfler virtuoso performance. Wear a diaper just in case.
Alchemy live version of this song, you will never be the same
I agree. It's the best ever. The first time I listened to it I listened to it for 5 hours straight. Not kidding.
Check out the live version from Alchemy (Dire Straits live) its way better,and you get your much longer solo.
Who else was thinking, "If they think this guitar is good (in the verses) what till they get to the two solos"
Mark Knopfler is easily my favorite guitarist. A few come close but he just has this very distinct sound that I love,
What you are identifying as two guitars is just one, but when Mark Knopfler plays it, you're listening to the master.
Mark Knopfler is the vocalist (and lyricist I believe) and on lead guitar (considered one of the greats on guitar). I believe it's his brother playing rhythm guitar in the background (and I think he plays keyboards too). You guys do good reactions!
Try their TELEGRAPH ROAD man, one of their best song
The Live at Wembley 85' solo is about 5 minutes of pure madness, I'd definitely check it out.
it s the french ....it s 2.00 hours in FRANCE....goog day and PEACE AND LOVE USA....merci a vous deux vous sympathique salut...
As Mr. O'Neill pointed out, not acoustic, just a classic electric guitar with no fuzz boxes, in the hands of a master.
ALCHEMY LIVE VERSION OF SULTANS OF SWING PLEASE
To really appreciate this song and Knopfler's guitar playing, you really need to watch a live version. The guitar solo at the end is twice as long on the live versions.
I'm a Dire Straits fan since 90' saw them live so recommend u Telegraph road from Alchemy live
As Dan L put it the live version is a different animal highlighted by Pick Withers just killing his drum set. "Alchemy Live." Yes Mark stopped in a pub and this is a story about that experience.
I believe that was the post withers period with Terry williams.
What makes the lead guitarist and vocalist Mark Knopfler so unique is his ability to finger pick only and manipulate the sound of his riffs and solo's, different level, absolute genius man
The guitar work is on the Gilmour, Santana, Clapton level....!
Such a distinctive sound, Brothers in Arms would suit you two :)
Listen to alchemy live version
The first time I heard Sultans was 1978 on the radio, WNEW-FM. I thought it was amazing. The DJ did, too, and he played it a second time. Never heard that for any song before or since.
THE KNOPFLER BROTHERS LED BY MARK, HE WAS A MUSICAL GENIUS! :)
This sound is Magic
AWESOME 80s MUSIC
We play the Eagles in the car when we are going out for a country drive ,you did them justice thank you 💙💙💙 UK
Love love love!
The song is about seeing this band called Sultans of Swing perform in London.
Yeah Sultans of Swing man. Swing in this context is so fuckin cool. I'm grateful to Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits for keeping swing alive with this incredible song.
I've liked this song since I heard the first note.
I for got to say that this song is the only one I requested to be played at my funeral
The song is about a band singer in a band called The Sultans of Swing, watching what's going on in the bar.
Had to subscribe. First time watching you two and your reactions were incredible.
Down to the Waterline and Lady Writer. 2 great Dire Straits songs
you need to listen to tunnel of love by this band, you like emotional guitar, the outro at the end is amazing, but play the video version, lesley Ash is sublime in it..
Ok guys. Listen a minute, lol. We all know what Knopfler can do, still to this day...but if you pull up and watch the Alchemy live performance of this song and SEE the drummer with his 14 arms and the guy on keyboards tearing the ivory off and the bassman dancing around...THAT'S what you wanna show your friends, lol!!! Please take a watch, even if you don't wanna react to that particular song again. ( would love to see your faces though, as they're slowly melting away!)
HOW MUCH I love this group ❤️❤️ connects me to childhood memories ))
Alchemy live is unbelievable...and the vocal doesn't seem like it should come out of this man's mouth!
So awesome to see you guys truly feeling the old school music that I grew up with. Timeless treasures you have, and are reacting to. Great channel guys.. I am along for the ride :)
Brilliant!!
This is about a band called The Sultans of Swing who Mark saw in an empty club in London.
Don’t be like me and wait until your 70 to discover Mark has lot of excellent albums and great songs.
I just want to share something I learned in 2020 because it’s just too good to keep to myself 😩
Mark Knopfler did the entire soundtrack for The Princess Bride 😭✨✨
I love the laid back vibe of this song.
I love you guys.
If you want to hear Knopfler on a long solo, try Telegraph Road. Great review, thank you.
Dire Straits have so many good songs. Try Money For Nothing, another pearl :D
Every time this song comes on, I crank up the volume and I make everyone shut up for that final riff 😅
My favorite part 🎇
Mark Knopfler has some GREAT videos to watch on yt, more so even his interviews about playing, telling his history of music, along with his instruments for demonstration.
