And once again, another generation figuring out what we knew 45 years ago that Mark Knopfler is simply the best guitar player of all time. Finger picking at its finest. It's interesting to me that most or them reacting the performance have no idea who the "Sultans of Swing" are:) The story behind the song is what it's about. Knopfler is also a genius song writer as well. Good to see people that have never heard of Dire Straits appreciate this great talent!!
Mark Knopfler, the lead singer, is easily one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
The song just cooks! The longer it goes on, the hotter it gets!
Facts I love dire straits 🔥
Terry Williams is one of the most underated drummers of his generation.
I can tell, he was doing his thing
The drummer makes this song
Terry really ROCKS!!! Fantastic drummer!!
@@dubzer0649one of our own from Wales Terry is 🤘🏴🤘
I read that it was the first time his dad had seen him play and so the band was gassing him up too!
Dire Straights and Mark Knopfler are pretty timeless.
Brit Rock Gods.
Mark makes it look so effortless
They killed this one
@@dubzer0649 They killed it, wrapped the shroud, chin strapped, gave Last Rites and buried that sucka!
I always like Sultans Of Swing, but it wasn't until I watched this performanced I LOVED it. Definatelly one of the best live performances I've seen.
Man this song got me I love it
I realy liked it before but wow, now i love it, fuckin awsome!!!
I loved this song forever and never saw this video. Didn't have to...adored this song from back in the day.
One of the greatest live performances! Now you need to follow up with the Alcamy concert live version of TELEGRAPH ROAD. The almost five minute solo at the end us SPECTACULAR!🙂,,
Ok I’ll def check it out stay tuned
Yes, Telegraph Road next!
It sure is.
Dire Straits are music legends
I can def see why
Hell yeah..!!!
One of my fav song from one of my fav artist mr. Mark Knofler from dire straits
Def have to check that out, I really like sultans so I know I’ll like there other stuff
The drumming in this performance is insane!!!
Yes, it seriously is I’m with you
He killed it
"Pick" Withers is a very highly regarded drummer
@@billmavin1998 That was Terry Williams playing drums in this concert. A hard hitting Welshman....great drummer
@@mikemorzajew4250 Yep I realised after I posted it was post Pick Yoju are right - another excellent drummer.
Drinking the big Daddy Budweiser with some live Dire Straits!! That's a great night in my book
Yes 🙌
I am a huge fan of dire straits now
great reaction dude. I like it at the end of his solo when he smiles at the crowd because he KNOWS he killed it!
The relive performance ever…. Terrence Williams on drums performed for his father for the first time. Simply Awesome…
The drummer is amazing, the keyboardist is amazing, all the guitarists are phenomenal. Amazing band!
I have such a love for this band... They are amazing... In 1987 I was 17 and I went to see them in England omy Senior High School Trip.... This is my London love song.... It will be forever... I cry every time I think of that day....
Under appreciated band! There's nothing like the music of the 70's and 80's. The music was so good and diverse. Plus GREAT concerts, always going on. I miss those days. I have empathy for this generation now not having the same experience 😣. Great reaction!!♥️👍
Glsd you enjoyed, really enjoyed doing this one
Let me say what you really mean: "There just isn't much new music that I enjoy. Therefore all new music is lacking" This is also what your parents said,
and their parents before them.
Every member of the band top musicians❤ great reaction
the song was written by Knophler about a late night trip to a nightspot near they're flat where they watched a jazz band playing that called themselves "the Sultans of Swing". Mark was amused and went back and wrote this song. it turned out to be they're first hit and catapolted them to fame. For fun also check out "Money for nothin".
Thanks for the background on this song and on these artist I appreciate you
Lead singer & guitar is Mark Knopfler. Here's a quick quote about the songs origins - "Mark had written it in 1977, after ducking into a deserted pub one rainy night and witnessing a lousy jazz band. Undeterred by the lack of both talent and punters, their lead singer finished the set with a mildly enthusiastic, “Goodnight and thank you. We are the Sultans Of Swing.”
I'm so glad you pointed out that the drummer, Terry Williams, was killing it! You're really doing a great job recognizing work when you see it.
If you like them & wanna see more, try "Money For Nothing". It has the famous lyrics in the beginning "I want my MTV".
Thanks for watching this one my friend, appreciate the information as always, stay tuned for mor e
@@dubzer0649 it's always worthwhile paying attention to the lyrics of a Mark Knopfler song, which isn't always easy when you're busy being blown away by his sheer brilliance on the guitar and the quality musicianship of the rest of the band! He has a remarkable ability to distil complex stories about people, places and events into a handful of verses.
@@jjc5407 And even though his songs tend to run long (the studio version of "Sultans of Swing" runs 5 minutes 46 seconds, for example), they never really seem to drag. It's a testament to his talent that he can do that. I recommend trying a wide variety of his better-known songs before trying his 14-minute epic "Telegraph Road" though--it's good, but I say, you gotta build up to it.
@@MarsJenkar yeah, just work through the first 3 albums first to get a good run up before tackling Telegraph Road. 😅
My all time favorite video by dire straits is when Eric Clapton steps back and gives Mark the stage and nodded his head like brother got some skills
Mark Knopfler is easily in my top three favorite guitarists, I was about 19 years old when this came out and when i see someone react like you I realize how truly blessed I have been for the past 43 years!
He is a beast loved this performance
Hi, I was 17 years old and was at the gig. I too believe that we have been so lucky to have been able to live Mark´s career live along with him. Check out my comment to Dub ZerO.
Nothing quite like the sound of an electric guitar in the right hands.....
Facts
They are a vibe I love this band. I got more coming this week from them
The guitar/singer/frontman in the red jacket is Mr; Mark Knopfler. The drummer you were asking about is Terry Williams. Then you've got Alan Clark on keys, John Illsley on bass and the "other guitar" is Hal Lindes.
So here's some more Dire Straits:
"Skateaway"
"Lady Writer"
"Industrial Disease"
"Walk Of Life"
"Tunnel Of Love"
"Twisting By the Pool"
"Your Latest Trick"
"Brothers In Arms"
"Romeo and Juliet"
I believe the 2nd guitarist is David Knophler, Mark's brother,
@@davidfunk2677 it's definitely Hal Lindes mate
@@gangsterinasuit OK. I know his little brother was on the 1st record. I'm not sure when he left the band.
You forgot their greatest song, Single Handed Sailor.
The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising.
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.
"Alchemy" is the mystical art of creating gold from base metal. Perfect name for this concert.
Ah ok didn’t know that
@@dubzer0649 Throughout the Middle Ages, that was the great dream - they thought that there was a way to make metal into gold. People wht said that they could do it were called alchemists.
yesss you took the words out of my mouth!!
I am glad you recognize that the drummer is not normal - he is a legend
You're absolutely right, the end is a masterpiece!!! We were rocking with that song in the 80s & 90s.
Wished those times would last forever.... ✌️ Peace
Great reaction!
You know you're in for a treat when the Dire Straits perform live! You expect great guitar work with Mark Knopfler's finger picking but the real surprise in this performance is the drummer! He is killing it with those fills!
Yea they killed it
Great reaction. Love that you showed so much appreciation for the crazy guitar skills of Mark Knopfler. He's one of the all-timers.
Yes he killed it no lie def enjoyed
Thanks for watching and commenting
the entire band makes sure they check in all the time with everyone with a short peek
Saw this tour live in Houston, TX in 1985. Best Concert I've EVER seen. They are AMAZING!!!!
Terry Williams - his dad was in the audience and Mark told him to go all-in. To make dad proud. :)
I wish they would've shown that drummer more...he was killing those drum rolls!!
Hi, the very first time I heard this song was in 1978 when it was released. Summer holidays from high school, sunbathing in the garden with the radio on. The intro, wow. Two weeks later I bought their first album. This song Sultans of Swing was their first single off that first album. I was there that night as a 17 year old, it was the fourth time that I saw Dire Straits play live and it was a sublime performance. They started off as a four piece band. Drums, bass guitar, rythmn guitar and Mark´s lead guitar. The original drummer Pick Withers was a fine drummer, which is one of the reasons that listening to the studio recorded albums is so different to the later live recordings. Terry Williams, the drummer in the video, joined the band prior to this tour, so it was all new to him. He did take the band´s sound to another level. The keyboard player Alan Clark was also a great addition which added such a depth to their sound but that lead guitar of Mark´s just got better and better as his mastery and confidence grew. He was brimming over with confidence here. He was a newspaper reporter first up and then an English teacher. He twiddled about with the guitar in his spare time but felt that he had to give up the steady jobs and go for the music. I was there in 2019 in my seat to see his farewell tour after forty years of solid gold music. My musical youth was in the late 70´s and into the 80´s, everyone was a song writer or musician then. But we were blending in the UK our guys and girls in music. We had the fabulous Jamaican ska/rock steady and then reggae beats that came to the UK and then British reggae was born. Young pale skins and brown skins, it was our music, we were such an integrated youth. We crossed all the musical barriers. Skin colour was an invitation not an exclusion. I wonder if it is the idea that there is white music and black music. For me there are just great singers, musicians and performers. I am a British pale skin, on my music shelf... Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, I Jah Man, Gregory Isaccs, Jimmy Hendrix, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations etc. All beautiful brown skinned guys with loads of talent. White guys who didn´t have a profession tried their hand at music. We just didn´t stop. But Dire Straits stood out so much in their early days as we were right in the thick of the punk rock era. That was maybe our white equivalent of rap music. Not in the style but more the lyrics and the messages coming through. The late 70´s were grim times for us youths and unemployment was dramatic. No hope for any of us, there still isn´t! Hence I still belt out my punk rock anthems because they stand today just as they did back then. Because nothing has changed as yet!!!! I really enjoyed watching your face as you were getting drawn into Mark´s magic, I was in suicidal mode this morning and I have distracted myself with you. I would suggest that you listen to the whole Alchemy Live album. When Dire Straits played live, their songs were always given a different touch, it´s like they were new every time we heard them played live. All bands have some big songs and Sultans is one of Dire Straits big songs, it was their first. It has become their calling card! They wrote some long songs and I love long songs, songs that you can really get into. On the same album you will find TUNNEL OF LOVE and TELEGRAPH ROAD, two absolute classics. May I suggest that you read the lyrics first and so know what the song is about, you will then see how the music carries the story along. But if you have got one hour and forty-five minutes alone and undisturbed, listen to Alchemy live. If you haven´t got the visuals, no problem. But then I have the visuals stored in my memory. Thankyou for cheering me up today.
Dire Striaits is an increduble band! And uncle Marky is the GOD level guitar player! Man, your true emotions of pleasure of this song are very important for me. Thank You very much from Russia fan of Dire stratis since 1989 ;) More reactions, please!
Man they are a vibe I love me some dire straits
I did another reaction but it got blocked so I have to do a different song
Didnt know these guys were British until last year. Very interesting band. Brothers in Arms will bring a tear to your eye if you are a vet. Walk of Life is a great up beat sports song as well.
FYI “Brothers in Arms” was heavily inspired by the 1982 Falklands War between UK and Argentina.
there is a reason they are in the rock and roll hall of fame. Mark Knopler is considered to be one of the 10 greatest guitar players in rock history. and he doesn't use a pick just his fingers great great reaction to what many rockers consider to be one of the best live concerts ever recorded. i like the way you groove to great rock and roll
One of the greatest performances ever by anyone, Mark Knopfler wrote the song, lead singer and guitarist, the greatest guitar player ever for me. Do Tunnel of Love from Alchemy next.
Yes I love me some dire straits
I was so lucky to see them live many times. They were great live.
Man that’s what’s up I wish I could experience that
Man, I deeply enjoyed your reaction, especially at the end. Well done
Really glad you enjoyed my friend
Dire straits is an amazing band
They created so many beautiful, meaningful songs.
LOts of ballads too - a very sad one is... "brothers in arms"
This song sounded so unusual when it first came out, in comparison with everything else on the radio at the time. Kind of dark and minor key, but with humor - a rock song about a dixieland band playing for some rock fans who have absolutely no appreciation.. And then that blistering guitar work! Truly unique! I suggest Telegraph Road, Tunnel of Love, and for a really good sad song "Romeo and Juliet."
Yea this song was def interesting but now def a factor mine so much musical talent in this one
@@dubzer0649 greatly appreciated reaction🙏. Found this video of Dire Straits @ live gig, with Mark Knopfler using his wizardry skills to have great fun with the Fantastic music lovers..
ruclips.net/video/RFclpoxI_-M/видео.html
Hope you review it. Enjoy ❤️
The music of my youth, so glad you enjoyed it so much, some of the best of Great British music right there.
Yes really enjoyed
Thanks for watching
Maybe my favorite live performance on RUclips
Yes amazing performance
I think Mark and the boys just won another serious fan.
I think so as wel
They are awesome
One of the truly great rock bands from the UK. Mark Knopfler, the lead guitarist and vocals is one of our finest singer/songwriter/performers and there are so many other classic songs from his songbook. I recommend 'Money For Nothing' 'Romeo & Juliet' and 'Brothers In Arms' Pure genius all three.
They are An amazing band def enjoyed this one
This live video is unique showing the drummer about 40 percent of the time….which is a good thing….
He kills it
They have 2 keyboard players!! Each with 4 keyboards surrounding them!
Concerts used to be so awesome...they were totally organic and authentic...not mechanical......you got the whole artistic experience!
Simply the GOAT
No one ever reacts to Private Investigations by them. It was a UK number one hit. But it doesn’t sound like a hit single lol. Definitely worth it. Either live from the same gig as this or the album version
I’ll have to check it out
@@dubzer0649 it’s a different vibe for sure but it displays another side to them. Very cool and an interesting vibe. A song with a few parts. Great musicianship as always from them. Sultans Of Swing was on their debut album and was their first hit. Private Investigations and Telegraph Road, which others have mentioned, were both on their 4th album, Love Over Gold. But it was their 5th album, Brothers In Arms that turned them into global stars. Songs off that album like the title track, Money For Nothing, So Far Away (all singles) Ride Across The River, Why Worry? are just great songs. Not as uplifting perhaps as this track right here but they were also downtempo a lot of the time.
Haha awesome reaction to that guitar solo. Pure joy! Love to see it 🔥
That folks is rock and roll hall of fame music
Yes
Really enjoyed this one
Always have to point out, cause it's easy to miss when you first start listening to Dire Straits but Mark Knopfler is finger picking which is just a whole other level of playing.
Oh ok I’ll hav to look into more of what it is, sounds super interesting to though
Thanks for the background information
@dubzer0649 Finger-picking means he doesn't use a plectrum (aka a guitar "pick") to play... just his fingers.
Guitar work that is most definitely worth listening to again
Ok I’ll check that out
Now, 'Telegraph Road' from the same concert please.
Ok I’ll check it out
Tunnel of Love...is of course....plain brilliance...
this is my morning drive song always lifts my mood
Yes 🙌
second that...Telegraph road.....you'll never be the same bro....after hearing music like that
Ok def have to check it out then
Telegraph Road is fabulous.
Sultans of Swing is my favorite. Check out Walk of Life and Money for Nothing. 🎸🎶
Mark is a guitar picker and not a strummer. He plays it more like picking banjo strings.
Ok will do stay tuned
@@dubzer0649 as Douglas Adams wrote in his famous The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series "Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff drink."
I had not seen this live performance! Thank you!!!!!!
A Mazing!!!!
Thanks for watching I appreciate you
Dude, I really enjoyed your reaction to this video.
Super glad you enjoyed my friend
Rock on brother. I'm 59 and I still bounce my head when I hear good music.
Hey thanks for watching glad you enjoyed I appreciate it
Love Knopfler! Such beautiful guitar work. Also, his vocals on Sultans Of Swing sound Dylanesque. A good vibe.
This was a great song and vibe
Thanks for watching and commenting
Down to the Waterline! You won’t regret it! 🔥
How could anyone not love this? One of the greatest live performances.
Right
This band is a straight vibe
I could watch them a million times. ❤
I think I have! 😂
Great reaction... "Telegraph Road" Alchemy live is next for you: great music "story", piano is beautiful, transitions smooth, immaculate guitar sound... true masterpiece in all aspects...
Glsd you enjoyed it thanks for watching
I watch and listen to this at least once a day and Never tire of every part of it
Someone asked Prince one time " how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the World ? " his response and i quote " i don't know , ask Mark Knopfler"
They are the sultan's of Swing, one of my favorite reaction videos.
Thanks for showing the same excitement I felt. We had a great time together. Appreciate the quality of your music.
I will never tire of this...
Lots to try, for a very different vibe, Brothers in Arms..
I feel like laughing, not because it is funny but because they are so damn good.
Aren’t they amazing
I love your reaction and to see how you appreciate the talent of Dire Straits. This is the first time I watch your channel and based purely on your reaction to Sultans of Swing I am subscribing to it now.
I appreciate you being here thanks for the support
Dire straits is a straight vibe and the musical talent is unreal from this band
Loved your reaction, just subbed! Definetely check out more from Dire Straits, they have great music. Oh, and Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists of all time (as you probably noticed with that solo lol). "Tunnel of Love", "Telegraph Road (Alchemy Live)" and "Calling Elvis (also live)" have some amazing guitar solos.. you'll love them!
Ok will def check out more thanks for being here
Best guitar bands ever: Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck Group, Cream, and Dire Straits... one of these things is not like the others. I love all five immoderately, but the Mark of Why Worry?, Telegraph Road, Brothers in Arms got to be my favourite. Greetings from Canada, home of the only guy who could challenge them (R.i.P. Jeff Healey- blind on Earth, ripping it up in Heaven with SRV). Good eye, Dub Zer0- be safe, man.
New subscriber. Why? You're likable and you know good music when you hear it.
This video puts a smile on your face the whole time!
They are loving what they are doing! Great reaction
It's good to see someone really enjoy this.
Walk of Life.
Ok I’ll check it out
The drummer is remarkable
Absolutely kills it
His name's Terry Williams. I heard his family were in the audience that night and watched him perform live for the first time. How cool is that.
They are an amazing band
Pure talent 👏✌️❤️🙏🏼🤗
My favorite back in the day.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Another great reaction dude. Try Telegraph Road from the same concert “Alchemy”. Peace and good vibes mate.
Ok will do stay tuned
Dire Straits are a phenomenon in their own right; as for Mark Knopfler, one of the great guys of music; fantastic song writer and guitarist. Brothers in Arms was a monster album in the same way Rumours was for Fleetwood Mac. It took the world by storm. Every song on that album is fire. They have so many hits. I bet you go to any shopping mall you hear dire straits and think 'where do I know this from? One thing I would say is that late 30s, 40s is the best age to fully appreciate their music and words.
master musicians !!!!!!
Great reaction. You felt every moment. 😊
You were killing me a with a great authentic reaction.
.
I dig how you dug this music dude.
Thank you.
I once caught one of Mark Knopfler’s guitar picks at a Dire Straits show.
Good reaction. Great band. I don't know how true it is, but apparently my mums uncle got asked to join them once (he was in a band called 'wally' at the time who were semi famous). Mark knopfler is generally regarded as one of the top 10 guitarists of all time so you were right to be impressed. Insane drumming in this song, too! PS - For a change of pace, listen to 'Vincent' by Don Mclean if you haven't already. Amazing lyrics and Tupacs favourite song!
Wow that’s really cool 😎
I’ll def chekc out that song too stay tuned
One of the best reactions ever, man! ❤️
If your looking for another amazing live performance to check out, you can't miss with Portishead live at Roseland NY, they along with Massive Attack were far and away the stars and faces of the Trip Hop genre of the 90's. The entire concert is phenomenal but 2 not to miss highlights are the tracks "Roads" and "Glory Box"!!!
Ok I’ll go check it out
I’ve never seen a live version of this song…what else can you say but WOW!
This was a straight vibe
I really enjoyed
Love this most genuine reaction👌
The absolute beauty in each note and run of Mark's playing is yet to be heard by anyone else. Not mentioning the rest of the band.
I love this band and this is my favorite song now
