This is exactly how the universe should be.... the two greatest guitarists of their generation on stage together, playing the legendary song about the mythical beautiful lady walking around in your dreams. I can rest easy knowing that musically things are as they should be, despite the world falling apart with this pandemic. BRAVO!!
@ Who was the lady in red written about? Creation. The song was written in reference to his wife Diane, who used to come and watch him perform at his parents' hotel. It was released on the album Into the Light.
@ Regards from sunny South Africa. Eric wrote Wonderful tonight for Pattie Boyd, while watching her get ready to go out to a party. Lady in red was written for Chris De Burg's wife Diane. Patti had 2 songs written for her, the other is Layla. They never remained together, so she will always be mythical to Eric.😉
Mark and Eric ... the two best guitarists/songwriters the UK has ever produced. I hate being old but I love that they were "in my day". Happy Saturday fellow rock fans. xx
Dead right Susannah, I'm 69.75 now and I'm sure I lived through the best years. I'd hate to be young now. Great Knopfler fan but Clapton not quite so much but still good.
Two of the best guitarists play one of the best love songs ever together and create some stunning music. This version is just ethereal. It’s like angels descended from heaven and gathered at one place to create the best version of a classic love song. No one can ask for better synchronicity between two of the world’s best. Just unreal.
Oh man.. Each and everyone of the musicians are SO in the zone and yet completely aware of each other and perfectly in sync. They played wonderful that night.
Hands down the best version of one of the greatest songs of all time! Knopfler's subtle tough is an amazing compliment to Clapton's slow hand and deliberate lyrics !
So much respect for Mark Knopfler as well. We all know he can tear the shit out of the guitar (even in the most beautiful and subtlest of ways), but has the respect and humility to just sit back and stay out of the limelight.
I watched Eric Clapton 's movie. The movie was so touching that I watched it over and over again. I'd like to see his concert in person someday. I love Eric Clapton so much.
@Bobby Klein Oh yes I've always said anyone with any musical ability can learn to play a guitar (I can't) but there are only two men I've ever seen or heard that don't just play their guitars but make them absolutely sing
And what a great combination they are!! both have respect and admiration for each other. both very distinct voices and great guitarists. I miss that sort of quality we used to have.
I just wanna share my thoughts. They are more than brilliant, but despite their magic of musicalities, let's spot the song about. It is just a few hours story from late evening up to before midnight. How amazing the idea of the song is.
Für mich ist das das schönste Liebeslied der Welt! Danke Eric und Mark für diese Achterbahn der Gefühle, wenn ich euren wunderschönen Song höre. Ich muss jedesmal lachen und weinen. Iht seid wirklich musikalisch genial. Danke für eure große Inspiration! 💙🙏🙏🙏💙 Mit großem Respekt, die Karen
I agree with the comments of so many others here: first time I have heard this extra slow W T with Mark's strong musical support. Cheryl Wootton of CHCH New Zealand - for you old friend.
Wow....awesome, awesome, awesome.... it gives me the creeps!!!....And the best percussionis ever is also on stage, i love ray Cooper! What a great version!
Hi dear🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me throughout the years. It’s a season of love😍❤️❤️ for me and so I decided to put a smile on the faces of my fans by going through my RUclips channel and checking out on my fans, so I can get to communicate with my fans better through discussion of depth and humor listening to o and criticism of my career.💞💞🙏💖💕💕
Folks: I try to play this atleast once a week. I agree w/ the comments below; what a glorious performance from both EC & MK. I'm always torn which of these 2 guitars "gods" is the best. Don't know, especially when they play together. Can you just imagine if they did a set w/ Freddy Mercury? -Ron
Just died and went to heaven!!!!! What a great pair of talent!!!! Guitar and voice... take me away! I can sleep quietly tonight knowing they actually got together and made an incredible contribution to our music's history. Recorded in history forever!!!! And.... I fell pleasently in love! Thank you Mark and Eric.
Being at most of the Eric Clapton concerts here in Austraila and at nearly all Dire Straits concerts, I never get tired of hearing both these magnificent guitarits and of course, Erics laconic voice is a pearl in amongst todays rot.
La chanson d'amour la plus profonde qui vous prend entièrement au tripes une vraie merveille, dommage que je n'ai jamais connu qquun qui savait allez aussi loin dans les sensations profondes
I think talent like Clapton and Knopfler get to a point where there is no competition between them. Neither has anything left to prove. So getting on stage together is nothing more than a bit of fun for them and a total treat for their fans. I love these two musicians with a passion. Thanks for the music Mark and Eric. Keep on rocking ... please xxx

The backup singers are so compatible with Eric, what a beautiful song. Mark on guitar is great. Watch this video every night.
The Quiet Man of Rock (Knopfler) and Slowhand (Clapton) wind up their magic like nobody else can Nothing better out there
This is exactly how the universe should be.... the two greatest guitarists of their generation on stage together, playing the legendary song about the mythical beautiful lady walking around in your dreams.

Hello Cindy, how are you?
Just when you think 🤔 there cannot be a more powerful and beautiful version there it IS !!!!!!!!
Oh man.. Each and everyone of the musicians are SO in the zone and yet completely aware of each other and perfectly in sync. They played wonderful that night.
Two of the most talented men around to this day. Simply stunning. Soul compounding. Beautiful and amazing.
Dont forget about David Gilmour! He may be the best!
Brazil
Eric and Mark together with this song is wow! 💓🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎶🎵🎶
@bobbyklein8918 ciao Bobby! 🙋♀️😍😘💝🎄
I was married to that girl! Illness took her to a “far off place” but each night I sing her this song...
No matter how Eric Clapton performs this song it’s “always “ beautiful and such a very romantic song. 😘🎸😎
Knofler, Clapton, Nathan East, Ray Cooper... So many great musicians, magic is bound to happen.
La plus belle déclaration d'amour avec les meilleurs guitaristes ❤❤
Two Genius (and some real good musicans; NEVER forget the Band!) on one Stage playing the mother of Lovesongs.
I believe in the days that we are living, it would be great to see more 🎶 musicians get together like this ,so enjoyable 😉
The unseen communication between two great musicians left so much room for emotion between the beats. No ego.
Hands down the best version of one of the greatest songs of all time! Knopfler's subtle tough is an amazing compliment to Clapton's slow hand and deliberate lyrics !
I love the duet of Eric and Mark ❤
Yeah dude, they Are like twins!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the BEST songs ever WELL DONE
Its one of my favorite of all Erics songs and it was done absolutely beautiful with the other worlds best Mark Knopler
Two very talented guitarist playing one of the greatest songs ever written. Wow amazing
Clapton's handling the guitar is very amazingly.
I am listening to this 10.30 am and I have to say it sounds wonderful this morning!
A great piece of music performed by two greats, supported by a top band and backing vocals. I could listen to this any time. 😎🇦🇺🦘
One of greatest guitarist living.
Two of the best😊
Such a wonderful song and played by two of my favourite guitarists... Thanks for sharing..
What a masterpiece of a song. This will go down in history! 😃❤
This song is so complete in everything an ordinary fan can have no matter what kind of arrangements it has to offer !!
aïe aïe aïe ...superbe ...ce soir , cette chanson est pour toi .....ton fils se marie demain et tu n'es pas là ..........
This never gets old.. Thank you Mr. Clapton for the son and thanks Mr. Knopfler.. Amazing❤
This never gets old. What a wonderful song! And two of my very favorite guitarist on one stage. This is heaven!
So much respect for Mark Knopfler as well. We all know he can tear the shit out of the guitar (even in the most beautiful and subtlest of ways), but has the respect and humility to just sit back and stay out of the limelight.
+Joe E
well, wouldnt want him fuck'n up a good tune , best he stays out the limelight
+Joe E Well clapton plays backup for mark later in the concert, and he does the same thing, they both buds
Mark Knopfler is the best ... (for me)
great commm, love from scoltland lol xxxx
I agree with you, his guitar sound is the beat of his heart.
Awesome!
Un duo impareggiabile per una canzone bellissima
Best song ever, have loved this since I was a teenager now 59 and always my favourite song. ❤❤
This is such a deliberate slow version but so magnificent. So perfect. Tribute to MK to step back and let EC take the spotlight. Just glorious.
I could feel every word every emotion this is what music should sound like Goshhhhh!!!!!🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️it's soooooo freaking beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Just dont know if it is the slower tempo, the whole atmosphere...this is the best ever version of this song
Tempo perhaps a bit too slow, still wonderful
10 para manolenta y que nos dure unos años más 🎵🎶🎶🎶☀️☀️☀️🙋
If you're with your Lady,
It's just the right speed, if ya have'nt forgottin
Whatwhat love is !!
Eric and Mark bring it to light out of the dark. They play those guitars so smooth and sweet. Yes their a tough diet to ever beat. Well done guys!
You know you have it, when Mark plays back up for you....
Precisely
Un pezzo meraviglioso... sono quegli avvenimenti che rimarranno per sempre nella storia musicale
Essential fantasy: being a backup singer in the presence of these legends 🥰🤩
Hauntingly sparse, stripped down and achingly beautiful. Eric at the top of his game vocally and with the Fender.
greatness doesnt need self promotion
Every time I listen to this song I find some new realization which I believe, is the sign of a classic creation.
I'd like to see these two team up together again. Maybe a joint Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler & Eric Clapton tour.
I watched Eric Clapton 's movie.
The movie was so touching that I watched it over and over again.
I'd like to see his concert in person someday.
I love Eric Clapton so much.
Name of the movie please
I also love all Eric s songs with wonderful meaning
Im so happy that im 45 year old and whole my life i listen good music ( with guitars )!!!.....God bless you all!!!!❤
Una bellissima performance, per una canzone meravigliosa... Grandissimo Eric! 😊🥰😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯💯💝🎄
Two "Wizards" together No better guitarists around Incredible respect obvious between the two musical greats
@Bobby Klein Oh yes I've always said anyone with any musical ability can learn to play a guitar (I can't) but there are only two men I've ever seen or heard that don't just play their guitars but make them absolutely sing
Mark Knopfler is a very talented musician as well as very delicate and modest person.
Exaktamundo!!!
when one’s desperately in need of Soul food, this is where to go find it ~ in wild abundance. Magnificent…⁉️👊
Superbe comme à l'ordinaire....
Nous en avons besoin....en ce moment....
Knopfler and Clapton, work perfectly together.
And what a great combination they are!! both have respect and admiration for each other. both very distinct voices and great guitarists. I miss that sort of quality we used to have.
Спасибо за невероятно красивое исполнение вживую!!! Завораживает! Девочки на подпевке- Супер!
❤❤
I just wanna share my thoughts. They are more than brilliant, but despite their magic of musicalities, let's spot the song about. It is just a few hours story from late evening up to before midnight. How amazing the idea of the song is.
This beautiful love song written for his love, Patty Boyd. Enduring and beautiful! Thanks for inspiring him Miss B!
Yes, beautiful song and beautiful Pattie, who inspired a lot of songs (I need you, something, Layla...)
They all" nailed it" In this performance. Perfect!
Für mich ist das das schönste Liebeslied der Welt! Danke Eric und Mark für diese Achterbahn der Gefühle, wenn ich euren wunderschönen Song höre. Ich muss jedesmal lachen und weinen. Iht seid wirklich musikalisch genial. Danke für eure große Inspiration! 💙🙏🙏🙏💙 Mit großem Respekt, die Karen
If I could meet Eric Clapton once. Then I could die happy. I have heard and played every version of this song and this is by far the best
I agree with the comments of so many others here: first time I have heard this extra slow W T with Mark's strong musical support. Cheryl Wootton of CHCH New Zealand - for you old friend.
⭐💐⭐💐AWESOME 💐Two of the best guitars in the world 💐💐⭐ ⭐👏 Thank you for the musical feast 🫶⭐⭐💐💐Maria from Poland🦋
Si a 18 personas esta preciosidad de canción no les gusta, una cosa está clara: somos mayoría los aficionados a la buena música!
Listening to this performance is like finishing a whole bottle of Bourbon by yourself in slow motion! Great music, great feeling!
RIP my Brothers Johnny and Pitil,thank you for introducing me to these two musical god's.
Wow....awesome, awesome, awesome.... it gives me the creeps!!!....And the best percussionis ever is also on stage, i love ray Cooper! What a great version!
Ray Cooper is fun to watch. He's a phenomenal percussionist. A star studded line up!
Mark e Eric insieme..assoluta meraviglia...

My little brother told me not long ago. The older get the prettier I get. That's a awesome brother. So thanks for the beautiful reminder.
Superb guitar playing ! Two great guitar players performing together....
Mark is 72 years old now and retired from the stage but will still be producing his music and songs ❤️
Sad
Loving Karina
WOW! Never gets old. I saw Eric Clapton in concert live back in the early to mid 70's. Truly amazing.
Best love song ever, no question. Thanks guys.
처음 1분 동안 연주하다가 인트로 들어가는거 너무 좋다 이거 진짜 낭만이네

Grazie, Eric !! Salute !! Come a voi tutti
My two favorites on stage. If there were no others, I wouldn't have missed a thing with these two. They check all the boxes for me. Nuff said.
Clapton & Steve Winwood on another level together.
I am so proud and grateful for being contemporary with this genius of guitar music and sounds coming from the bottom of the heart, Mark Knopfler :)
les 2 meilleurs guitaristes du monde !!!!
Thanks a lot, Eric and Mark. I so hope you can hear this up there dad! You're missed down here.
the best guitarist of all time play together...amazing
Amazing how all these SUPER STARS in their own rights become musicians in each others' gigs. Guess they are musicians first and stars second.
I think talent like Clapton and Knopfler get to a point where there is no competition between them. Neither has anything left to prove. So getting on stage together is nothing more than a bit of fun for them and a total treat for their fans. I love these two musicians with a passion. Thanks for the music Mark and Eric. Keep on rocking ... please xxx
Les guitaristes étaient dans un monde d'une autre génération
BRAVO à eux
Sounds angelic, love Eric. Love this tune.all good.
The 2 Best Guitarists. Just WOW
