As a pianist, you need to watch/listen to Telegraph Road Alchemy live.
Beat me to it... Totally agree 👍🏽
Absolutely essential viewing!
Oh yeah, definitely the next one he should be looking at
I agree too
As a non musician I agree.
Alan Clark is the keyboardist. Mark Knopfler is the lead guitar vocalist. Drummer is Terry Williams. Bass is John Illsley, rhythm guitar is Hal Lindes. There was also a couple of extras for the concert. Telegraph Road from this concert is so good where Alan Clark shines even more, you'll really love it. Cheers from Australia. 👍🎸🎸🎸
Great information, Aloha from Hawaii. The concert was at the end of the tour for the Love Over Gold album July 1983, The Alchemy concert is considered by many to be one of the best recorded live concerts ever. Their next tour was Brothers In Arms 1985/86 a sellout around the globe.
Tommy Mandel was the other pianist/percussionist/ dancer in the background
This concert was from London in 1983. The whole concert is stunning.... They are a British band formed in 1977.
Stunning is an understatement. Total epic fire!
This old gal was there !
Well, I believe that if you watch Telegraph road, you will be entranced by the pianist and all them
Drummer is fire
Treat yourself to Telegraph Road from Alchemy Live to hear Alan Clarke, the keyboardist shine.
Mark always plays with his fingers!
Every guitarist does but the offen use them to hold a pick. Mark plays finger style
If you want to see the pianist really show his skills then you MUST check out Telegraph Road, also from Alchemy Live. Possibly the most amazing blend of piano and guitar work in that performance. You'll appreciate it, I think.
Nice reaction! If you like the keyboarder, check out Telegraph Road from the same concert!
I agree you should watch Telegraph Road from the same concert. You will love it.
Terry Williams on drums (one of the best :-) ) and always perfect.
The "Alchemy" concert was great, make sure you watch "Telegraph Road", an absolute masterpiece.
You should watch "Tunel of Love" "Live Wembley 85", the end is so wonderful, you feel like you're flying.
DS were always better live for me
I'll check it out!
There was two keyboard players one each side of the drummer
Yes, many people don’t notice that. The guy on right has dark curly hair, the one (Alan) has light straight hair. His playing adds tremendously to Dire Straits sound. 👍
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. Even road tripping.
It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.
What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having.
Making a living like that wouldn't suck.🤑🤑🤑🤑
Shout out to the production crew. The filmography of this LIVE concert is incredible.🤩🤩
Mark is recognized as one of the greatest guitarists - anywhere.
I was at one of their concerts on this parrticular tour..London. yes he picks the guitar with his fingers..very gifted guy all round..and Super modest about all he has done...Yes pianist is classically trained...So glad you love the band...!!!!!
Mark Knopfler, Lead guitar
Hal Lindes, Rhythm guitar
John Illsey, Bass guitar
Terry Williams, Drums
Alan Clark, Keys
And for these shows July 1983 additional guest keys, Tommy Mandel
"Telegraph Road" from the same concert will grab your attention, for sure. The piano is great in it.
Thanks for this reaction. Definitely check out Telegraph Road from the same concert. Alan Clarke shines. It's another great bit of storytelling.
I will check it out
Liked and Subbed. The pianist really shines in Telegraph Road from the same concert, it's a very piano prominent piece
Telegraph road from the same concert is, in my personal opinion, one of the best live performances ever recorded for a Rock band ! A masterclass of individual talents - you will love it !
Yes Mark Knopfler finger picks ..... one of the best
Music shouldn’t care about religion or peoples political issues.. this was a great example of music
Take a look at TUNNEL OF LOVE, same Alchemy concert!
Dire Straits, quite a unique band. Songwriting, instrumentation, singing style, and of course Knopfler's guitar make it hard to flag them as 70's or 80's band. And what can't be pinned on the timeline doesn't get outdated, still sounds fresh to me. Or maybe that's because I'm becoming the old geezer getting stuck on the timeline, hmmm 🤔
love your reaction my dude, what i love about music from this time is it respected peoples attention, it gave you great music just pure and simple
Telegraph Road Alchemy live. It is an absolute masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pianist shines more on Telegraph Road from the same Alchemy concert!!!!!!!!!!
3finger pickin like a banjo. Awsome
The other thing about this performance.. I believe this is a different drummer than on the original studio recording.. And the drummer is just going to town.
Yes, the band line-up changed a lot from the studio version in 1978 to the live version in 1983. The lead guitarist (Mark Knopfler) and bass player (John Illsley) stayed the same (and did so for as long as Dire Straits was a band). The 1978 version was arranged for four parts and featured Mark's brother David on rhythm guitar and Pick Withers on drums. The 1983 arrangement subs in Hal Lindes on rhythm guitar and Terry Williams on drums, and adds both keyboard players who weren't on the original.
You are correct, Mark Knopfler plays without a pick. Been watching him do it for about 20 years, I have no explanation for how it sounds like that. I'm told he has horrible, unconventional technique that makes guitar tutors cry.
Another great guitarist who doesn’t use a plectrum or pick, is the late and very great Jeff Beck.
Another outstanding (and self-taught) finger-picker is Lindsey Buckingham.
It's true. Orthodox finger-picking uses the thumb for the three lowest strings (EAD) and the fingers for the high three (GBE). Mark Knopfler didn't stick to that. He used thumb and fingers however he felt. And it works!
I beat you by twenty or more years years ! I'm 77 now and I listen to this album a couple of times a week ! I can remember exactly where I was and who I was with when I heard sultans of swing for the first time on a Juke box ! phenomenal band ! never be one like them again as they were unique !
This is my morning song gets me going
The main keyboard player is Alan Clark, who has recorded with all sorts of people over the years as well as doing solo work. The lead guitarist (in red) is Mark Knopfler, who also wrote all the songs on all six Dire Straits studio albums and has done ten solo albums since then. He nearly always plays finger style, using his thumb and first two fingers.
They're both in their 70s now. Mark has retired from live performance but released a new album in April 2024. He also owns a recording studio in London. Alan was still performing live in 2023... not sure about his plans for 2024.
Great reaction! In addition to Dire Straits, pianist Alan Clark has played for Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, The Bee Gees, Phil Collins, George Harrison, Elton John, Pet Shop Boys, The Who, Gerry Rafferty, Lou Reed, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, Robbie Williams and Bruce Willis. Quite impressive.
Wow 👍
Voci incontrollate riferiscono che dopo questa esibizione la chitarra di Mark Knopfler e la batteria di Terry Williams abbiano chiesto le ferie...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shame about the copyrights across the video. Been reacted to hundreds of times with no issues.
no, It literally blocked my video.
This live performance was in London in 1983. You need to react to the encore “Telegraph Road”
Nice reaction ... "Telegraph Road" Alchemy Live (same concert) is definetly next to go: you will "hear" the beauty of pianist Alan Clark ... a real masterpiece song.
Yes, he is finger-picking. It is much more common in other genre's of music. For instance, you will never see a classical guitarist use a pick. It is also a common technique in bluegrass, country and folk music.
Alchemy ('84) is the best and most perfect recorded live concert ever!
agreed !
It was the 1980s. The song was released in 1979.
Staying on the C did EXACTLY as intended. You were expecting them to come back to the root, and they left you hanging... Wanting more... And YES we wanted more. :)
there where two keyboard players and this was 80's and the sound you heard on this song in not what you hear over the whole concert
Cool commentary.
Love your reaction ❤
If you delve deeper you will realize that Mark would have been a classical composer if he had been born 2 centuries earlier.
Mark knopfler plays with his fingers, never a pick. He is also naturally left-handed but taught himself to play with his right hand.
I agree you will love Telegraph Road
Yes is true :) The song is Dm and the end is a Cmaj. But, even tough is a rare occasion for a song (95% end in 1grade) can be used as a trick. Wend every brains is use to a tonality you can close the song in suspension and the solutions note come out from the public itself trough cry and bravo and clap. They feel an absence of somethings and so they scream to compensate. Sorry for my bad english.
The brilliant Mark Knopfler is just incredible, yes it was in the 70's, I was a teenager then too!! 🥰🥰🥰
Check out telegraph road and tunnel of love live great reaction by the way
Great, great band…👍 Saw them live in the 80’s and it was unforgettable…
He's not finger tapping, he is finger picking!!!
As a pianist, you really should listen to "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis... 😉
That masterpiece was composed by the great pianist Tony Banks.
Telegraph Road of this concert is you song
Yes, this was early 80s, and they'd fleshed the song out for long enough to be able to rearrange it into these longer versions live. They Keyboards / synths, electric piano's were linked through an early version of MIDI ( Musical Instrument Digital Interface), so the keyboard player could control all of his MIDI equipped instruments by himself. I started in 1984, and saw the power of MIDI for a keyboard player. I could run several synths, a drum machine, and a sequencer at one time. It allowed mt to input all the parts for each keyboard, including one programmed as a bass guitar, and trigger them all, and the start of the song with a footswitch. Then I could play the guitar parts over it, live. Sometimes I'd pick up a bass guitar for soloing with that, and any synth solos, I could fill a void intentionally left 0in programming to play a part on that, a run, that sort of thing. The early to mid 80s were a great time to be a pianist, because once you learned bass and guitar, along with drum programming and some live drums even, you were your own band. It was great for cutting demos. Writing new songs and having everything in its place for your bandmates and the like. Or, performing pieces of it live.
MIDI changed the live and recording world, and as you know, all electronic synths, drums, etc, come factory with a MIDI interface today.
Playing like it's a banjo ..
Nord live sessions: jd beck and domi sniff
Mark does some finger-tapping, but is basically a finger-style guitarist (picking the notes with his thumb and 2, sometimes even 3, fingernails). No pick (plectrum) is used in his style. Finger-style guitarists are few and far between in the rock music genre. Mark is a master. Steve Howe of Yes, and Jeff Beck are two other great ones.
As is Lindsey Buckingham.
Simply amazing guitar plucking, but that drummer needs accolades too!
So, my question is can his riff be duplicated on a keyboard with all its intricacies?
Excelente reacción de Felipe Melo
You seem to be a bit unlucky here with having to plaster "Copyright" all over the video, nobody else seems to have had that problem, not even me.
Pianist,Alan Clark,en la canción Telegraph road destaca más que en esta canción 🍻😉
Actually, 1983.

Alan Clark
Great reaction but no need for copyright captions covering the video ruins the vibe they create visually on top of the spectacular music
If you're going to react to oldies, please consider The Doors "Riders on the Storm" for its fantastic keyboard sound.
I think half the great video game music of the 1980's and 1990's completely stole this.
Sorry just watching tonight. I’m a slow read I guess
Couldn't tell, u have copyright blocking the view
Covered screen for video, sorry, Goodbye....
Yup finger tapping. No pick
He isn’t tapping the strings, he’s plucking them.
Wembley '85 version is better
Послушай Григорий Лепс.
У Шамана вышла новая песня ruclips.net/video/iCRGpxgD3aU/видео.html
great song, poor video and soundquality is this "Live" version for me better to listen to the clean studio version...
Actually the sound quality is very good on many of the other posts, and the screen is also totally clear.
