thx 😜
Tunnel of Love - Wembley Arena 1985 - 16 mins of magic.....
I'm so grateful that I grew up with this music! Not only is Mark a guitar virtuoso and finger-plucking genius, but he was also a gifted story-teller /song-writer and composer for the band, and he also always made sure to give all of the band members a chance to shine. This performance is the perfect showcase for this masterpiece, and for their astounding collective musicianship! Fun Fact: In addition to all of that, Mark was actually left handed but was playing guitar with his right, whilst making it all look so easy! Another very different but wonderful example of Mark's talent is also on display in "Once Upon a Time in the West," also from 'Alchemy Live'. And you have to check out "Brothers in Arms"; maybe watch the video as an appetizer (for the lyrics and meaning of the track) and then dive into a live performance from 'On The Night', or from Nelson Mandela's birthday at Wembley (my personal favourite because of the passion and emotion of that performance). Enjoy!
Matk Knopfler is at heart a storyteller. Telegraph is a major north-south 70-mile (110 km) thoroughfare in Michigan, and Mark Knopfler was inspired to write the song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road. At the same time, Knopfler was reading the novel Growth of the Soil by the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun and he was inspired to put the two together and write a song about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades.
Thanks for sharing that backstory! Always interested in learning more.
Hi. Love your reaction. Mark Knopfler lead guitarist wrote this song on a bus while touring in U.S. It was going along Telegraph Road and said it seemed to go on forever. If you liked this I guarantee you'll like the song Brothers In Arms from Dire Straits Live "On The Night" 1992.Mark's playing a Pensa Suhr guitar and it is jawdropping and every reactor I've seen literally cried at the end. It was about the Falklands War in early '80s. Anyway love your channel. Cheers, all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
Thanks so much for watching and sharing this info. Definitely want to check that one out. I have a reaction to Telegraph Road ready, but it seems to have certain region restrictions at the moment. Thanks again! Much love from Belgium!
I'm 80 years old now and have seen many rock bands come and go, but my all-time favorite, by a mile, is the fabulous Dire Straits. Keep on Rocking Dudes
Now that’s what you call a phenomenal performance. Now you have to do Tunnel of Love Alchemy Live. It’s has 5 minutes of the most beautiful guitar outro ever!
Incredible performance. Definitely want to check out that one.
One reason Dire Straits stood out from many bands of their era was their approach to music; they played for each other's enjoyment rather than solely for fame or fortune.
This band have been in my life since I was 16. Now 60 and they still make my hair's stand on end. Love them. Telegraph road is for me a journey of life. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful song! Thanks for watching.
Here, there are no headbangers to distract you from the sometimes subpar music. You're listening to pure rock and roll performed by great musicians at their very best.
I was in Hammersmith Oden West London for the Alchemy concert that night back in 1983 aged 29 now 69 the memories will live with me forever.
Hey fellow Belgian. I grew up with this band. In my opinion they have to be one of the tightest bands ever. Everything works so well together. Just a bunch of incredible musicians.
Hello! Hope you are well. Really enjoying these performances.
Yes! My favourite Dire Straits song. Beautiful, nice lyrics -and the BEST performance.
Awesome song and performance!
When live music simply rocked!
Oh yeah
Congratulations ! Great choise!
Essa banda durou relativamente pouco tempo, mas deixou obras que deveriam ser eternizadas. Eles foram e são os melhores
To answer your question at the end: That was the encore of their concert. 👍
Thanks for letting me know!
Not on the Alchemy Bluray I have. It's the song before the encore with Solid Rock and Going Home being played when they came back on stage for the encore.
@@devilsadvocate2548Your right my friend. I think most assume its the final song as they've only seen RUclips version. 👍
The atmosphere at these concerts is truly enchanting and electrifying
Hate to say it "I told you so" mind blowing! Glad you took the leap, I have heard this a hundred times, it never gets old and got to see this live! Mr knopfler and the band, THANKS!
This was an awesome performance! Thanks again for recommending it and watching. Appreciate it!
The Telegraph Road is a major north-south 70 mile thoroughfare in Michigan. Mark Knopfler was inspired to write this song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road
Thanks for letting me know!
Talento, magia, sentimiento. Una obra de arte en estado puro. 👏👏👏
Telegraph Road was their encore at this concert...this was after they'd played a full set...I'm amazed they had the energy to do this at the end..love them!!❤
Thanks for letting me know. That is amazing, the energy they brought was incredible.
@SaeedReacts. one to do next is "Brothers in Arms". I think the video for this song is amazing. Mark Knofler wrote it from the point of view of a wounded & dying soldier on the battlefield during the Falklands war in the 80s. The lyrics are incredible & so touching 😢 💙 definitely one to watch (its one of my favourites 😍) xx
On the Alchemy Bluray I have, it is actually the last song 'before' the encore. They then come back to play Solid Rock and Going Home as the encore.
This was the encore to show.
On the Alchemy Bluray I have it is the last song 'before' then encore. Solid Rock and Going Home was the encore on the Bluray.
This, along with Brothers In Arms are my 2 favourite Dire Straits songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A big shout out to the piano/keyboards and the drums. They killed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fire!!!
Brothers In Arms is my favorite, very emotional and beautiful. Studio version or live, can't really go wrong with it! Hits me right in the soul.
@@Qalibrated The Ragpicker's Dream with the bonus album had the best version of Brothers In Arms 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@bazkeen Thank you for the recommendation 🙏
@@Qalibrated Enjoy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My very first concert back in 1985 was Dire Straits on their Brothers in Arms tour. An unbelievable show with perfect sound, that set the expectations for further concerts in my life very high. And the only ones who could easily surpass this hurdle were Pink Floyd. I can of course recommend Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert. It also contains what is probably the best guitar solo in rock history
Awesome! Thanks for sharing that. Definitely want to check out Pink Floyd as well.
Dire Straits a bad ass band and one of my favourites for sure. Mark Knopfler is truly remarkable. This brings me back when I was in my 20. The beer was good..The whomen where beautiful..The sun was shining on the greek Island of Naxos. And I was happy!! Thank you.
Great times! I can see it in front my minds eye! Thanks for being here!
I was there in 1983 and they played like that the whole gig!
This was the encore.
We didn't think they'd play Telegraph Road at all, its too long as an encore the song is too complicated, it won't work.
How wrong were we?
Alan Clark's piano/keys was sublime, everyone was on top of their game, how Terry Williams played drums like that for two hours, I just don't know.
They were having an absolute ball!
We stood open mouthed, it was amazing to see
That is awesome! Must have been a cool surprise at the time. Legendary. Thanks for sharing that.
This was not the encore on the Alchemy Bluray. Solid Rock and Going Home was.
Hi Saeed
Great reaction thanx. Apologies if the following is longwinded but thought you might like to have the following info::
Dire Straits, a brilliantly gifted band of British musicians, were led by Mark Knopfler, a Geordie, and one of the most celebrated British guitar heroes to emerge in the late 1970s and '80s, a phenomenal finger picking guitarist/singer/prolific songwriter/lyricist/composer/musician, who wrote & arranged every song for Dire Straits 6 albums, before leaving the band in 1995. For the most enjoyable video experience of Dire Strait (according to an early statement by MK) it’s best to avoid the ‘official’ videos, & watch their live undubbed performances that have additional content and are a lot more atmospheric. MK has had a helluva musical career, collaborating with many other famous artists, writing music scores for 9 films, & all the wonderful songs & lyrics for the albums made during his ‘Solo’ career with another band of multitalented musicians. Their 10th album was released this April 2024.

(Inspired by Britain’s short war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands, way back in 1982, Mark Knopfler’s emotive song & lyrics ‘Brothers in Arms ‘focuses on the pointlessness of war. The song is a timeless anti-war song which has become an anthem for many ex-servicemen & women & the men & women serving in the armed services today. He sings the lyrics in the voice of a soldier dying on the battlefieldI❤️MK with DS & Solo

Hi! Appreciate you for sharing this. Definitely want to check out more of their live performances. Really enjoyed these so far. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
My favorite song and album🔥🎸🔥🎸❤️
Also "Romeo and Juliet" was another wonderful song off the Alchemy album. ❤
Tunnel Of Love - as others write - is a MUST from the phase where Mark incorporated the keyboard player musically. There is an unexpectedly different sounding guitar song Private Investigation (UK no.2, a European; great transitions).
However, you should choose a live version from the first guitar-only phase (Sultan Of Swing) like Once Upon a Time In The West/perhaps Alchemy 1983 so that you understand the band's entire development. He later added a saxophonist until Mark got fed up with "the big commercial music business" around 1996. But he still makes fantastic music today, as the current album One Deep River shows. I give him great respect and wish him all the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Definitely will check out Tunnel Of Love and hopefully many others.
On every street live on the night! best song of that album. and best performance imo of that concert . as others have said, the wembley tunnel of love is their best tunnel of love version
Definitely will check that one out. Thanks for watching.
Love it. Nr 1 live performance ever. Love from Belium. Schol :-)
Incredible performance! Schol 😃
To call this performance just epic is an understatement.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
@@SaeedReacts. Hmm, that is from My Fair Lady, isn't it? In that case I would stick with epic;) Great one, Saeed. As suggested further down I'd recommend next "Tunnel of Love" cause it is another fast and more epic one. Afterwards maybe tackle the slower tunes like "Private Investigations" that really show of the musicianship of an excellent guitarist, but also a great band.
Dire Straits: Guitargasm
Mark Knopfler, simplemente genial!!
Gracias por seguir reaccionando a Dire Straits 😍
How about “tunnel of love” ? or Brothers in Arms “ ?
Definitely want to check those out.
Tunnel of love Wembley 1985 is pretty special.
My favourite song...of any artist, any era, but I'd take the studio version ANY day over the live. Darkened room, headphones and this wonderful track. I feel sorry for you that your first listen is to a live version.
Definitely want to check out the studio version as well.
Based on the story of the founding of Detroit. Brilliant song
Welcome to one of the best story telling bands of the modern age,
They are modern minstrels, fantastic stage performers they always involve the audience as another instrument to build the song's. It pulls you into being part of the experience not just a spectator. Welcome to UK rock at its best.
Thanks! Looking forward to the next one.
Planet of the new orleans, Once upon a time in the west, on every stree, where do you think you are going, you and your friend... not playing in radio most
Can't go wrong with Dire Straits! Been listening to their music since i could walk, pretty much, along with many other of the greats, thanks to my dad and his fondness of loud music and heavy bass 😃
Shoutout to dad!
Great stuff as always. And I love your insights and fondness of lyrics. Greetings from South Africa
Thanks so much! Appreciate that! Greetings from Belgium
Absolutely one of the best live concerts ever and one of the epic songs, for me the best version here.
Marc with his guitar is out of this world...
Alan Clark on the piano is more perfect and Terry on the drums, oh man,
but also John on bass, always dancing with his guitar, I love it.
Be sure to check out “Tunnel of Love” Live Wembley 85, it’s amazing.
Definitely want to check that performance out. Seen a few people mention that one.
This was the encore to a performance. Incredible.
Thanks for letting me know. Amazing performance.
17:20 I loved your reaction to this amazing song. Perfection
Thanks so much ❤️
IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ENGOYING THIS SONG AS MUCH AS YOU, BRILLIANT MY FRIEND, GREETINGS TO YOU TOO BROTHER FROM ISRAEL
I loved it! Thanks so much for watching. Take care, brother!
People seem to miss how political this song is... he paints a picture of a society growing from scratch, it's impossible to not feel for the people living there (and it's a real place! I didn't know that the first time I heard this song as a child), but the point is to bring us up to present day, and to a society on the brink of despair because of "austerity" policy and outsourcing-driven unemployment. And he warns that he's remembering things he shouldn't ("run every red light on memory lane"), and that he's seen this kind of despair explode into flames before.
Thanks for adding your thoughts and insights.
My all time favourite piece of song writing!
The combination of piano and guitar and how they complemented each other in this song is just mint, best in class. Damn, I would've loved to have been there! Definitely check out their performance of "Private Investigations" from their concert in Nimes, France in 1991. I've probably commented about it before but it's that good!
That one is on my list, but the file is about the explode 😅. Definitely want to check it out though.
@@SaeedReacts. sleep is for the weak ;) nah, don't sweat it, you'll get to it at some point. gotta pace yourself.
@@TheNotedHero Who invented sleep? Hours of being unconscious. We got a bad deal 😂
TICK.
one of THOSE concerts on your bucket list.
Once a upon a time in the west 🔥🔥🔥
Perhaps time to check out Pink Floyd...start with the Pulse concert...Comfortably Numb, Sorrow, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Run Like Hell...just watch the entire concert. They will blow your mind.
Definitely want to check out Pink Floyd. Its been on my mind for a while, but held off because of Time. It might be Time to start soon 😀
A piece of art.
He is the Master.😊
They say queen at live aid was the best live performance ever,well this is the best live album ever!try out romeo and juliet from the same gig
Queen live aid is epic. Hope to check out more from this concert.
More Dire Straits? You spoil me, Sir. 😊 Tunnel of Love Wembley 85 next, please.
That is a must
Will add this one to my list. Thanks!
Tunnel of love / Alchemy live
It's a story.
Dire straits where raconteurs. Everything is constantly building then the drop.
Amazing band , long gone.
Try any song off love after gold as it is the best album they did.
Just stunning.
Love stories! Will explore more. Thanks for watching.
❤
❤️
Now, I guess you should try something completely different from Dire Straits, something deeply moving. That is "Brothers in Arms". The studio version is best, because the acoustics are so specific for the song, and unlike Telegraph Road or Sultans of Swing which are fabulous live, loses a lot in the transition.
Thanks for the recommendation and advice!
... then came the liars ...
... then came the rules ...
Indeed!
@@SaeedReacts. Lawyers not liars.... easy mistake?
Check tunnel of love and private investigations live
Yeah great but the video tho, bruh.
GREAT REACTION BUD, GIL FROM ISRAEL
Thanks so much! Greetings from Belgium.
