    I was on the east London tube from Rotherhithe to Whitechapel and upon reaching the street a man down on he’s luck approached me . Son come here. I stopped dead . Got 50p for a cup of tea for me . Yer here . Where you going work I said. Grateful son here take this and he gave me an album that was tucked under he’s arm . No you keep it . I insist. When I got home I put it on the radiogram . I was hooked and been a faithful admirer of mark and he’s work since. I guess the man who was down on luck is long gone now but I am truly thankful to him for turning my life round .If you’re looking down old friend from heaven your life wasn’t in vain . And I thank you from the bottom of my heart

    Every time I come across a new Dire Straits song, I think to myself that it can't be topped. They just prove me wrong. Every. Single. Time.

    "... She took off her silver locket
    She said, "Remember me by this"
    She put her hand in my pocket
    I got a keepsake and a kiss
    And in the roar of dust and diesel
    I stood and watched her walk away
    I could have caught up with her easy enough
    But something must have made me stay.....". Mark Knopfler (poet and composer).

      ​@green917 there's a great line in Sultans "guitar George, he knows all those fancy chords, but he's strictly rhythm, don't wanna make that guitar cry and sing" the fantastic irony of it because that "making it cry and sing" is exactly what Mark does!

  • @cwmiller2006
    @cwmiller2006 Год назад +101

    I have been a diehard DS/MK fan since I first heard Sultans in 78. I saw DS live in 85 and then in 91. Seen MK live 5 times through the years. Tunnel of Love is by far my favorite DS song among many others. Im not partial to any single rendition, but this one sounds raw and stripped down compared to the classic Alchemy version (my favorite). I love the lineup here with Pick, John, Hal Lindes, and Alan Clark. May have been Pick's final year before he left the band. I read somewhere that MK doesn't play TOL because it was his Dad's favorite song and after he passed away, Mark says it's too hard for him to play. Luckily It forever lives on RUclips.

    Excellent raw performance of this timeless classic hit from Dire Straits. I was 17 in Dec 1980 here in New Zealand and lived and breathed Dire Straits. However the best was yet to come. The version on the double live LP Alchemy from Hammersmith Odeon '83 is my favorite. Knopfler is perfection.

    This version of Dire Straits and the one with his brother to me were the best. Pick on drums gives it a very earthy and natural energetic feel. I got to see Mark Knopfler solo performance. It was great. But this band has soul. This is one of my favourite songs. It has so much emotion. I can see why his dad loved it. Time passes so quickly. I am glad this moment was captured on film. I just love the ending sequence and guitar chords and lead.

    As much as I appreciate the music, I really appreciate how well filmed this was. There were nice long shots without the quick, herky-jerky editing of most music videos, the color was great, and the sound was very clear. It is so rare to get everything right as this video did. I have often wished this band had kept at it for a lot longer but I guess Mark needed to stretch his chops as a solo musician. For all his music, I am grateful.
