Well, I’ve listened and watched this song being played a thousand times, and yet, here I am, a man in his 50’s, watching this with tears in my eyes. Beautiful. It means so much.
Way back, when we were young, I'd had a horrible argument with my girlfriend and I posted a card through her door, containing the immortal lines: "I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you I can't do anything except be in love with you" Well, we've just had our 25th wedding anniversary. Whenever we hear the song now it always makes us smile. Thank you Mark. You are a marvel.
Definitly me. Thought of sending the song to the girl its for me. We are friends still and agreed that something always comes in the way. But will love each other til we die.
I was 16 when I listened to these words and found comfort in this song and melody. Although time goes on emotions leave their footprint on one’s memory.
I’ve listened to a lot of Dire Straits songs, Telegraph Road is my favorite, but never heard this one. I Can’t believe I haven’t. Thanks to Rebecca’s channel I have a new favorite on my playlist.
That's amazing considering the amount of radio play this got and still gets on classic rock stations,but I guess the important thing is that you've discovered it now
@@rxlxviii I think I have, but to be honest, Dire Straits have never really been in my top 5. There at 6 though now. I think the title of the song, “Romeo and Juliet”, would have repelled me from listening to it to be honest, lol.
The line says 'Can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be' but this is a perfect love song especially live. Haven't listened to it in years and it surprised me by making me cry cos I know this song so well. Dire Straits should always be listened to live.😍
Check out his live perfomance on the BBC televised "A Night in London" concert from 1996. The music is a little more subdued, but Mark tears your heart out with how he sings it... The whole concert is a Masterpiece...
THE BEST EVER, PERIOD , END OF STORY! Sometimes the music makes me cry , sometimes the lyrics do, and sometimes I’m a sobbing mess when both elements do. And I’m a 62 year old male who has heard this song more than a handful of times… PURE MAGIC from the best ever . I paid $250 to see him on his last tour and would easily pay double to see him again, he still is THAT good.
Yet another masterpiece from Dire Straits BUT this young ladies reaction, whilst not verbose, is one of the most sincere and appreciative I have witnessed. Dire straits probably need no further applause as every true music fan recognises true genius but this young lady says it all without saying a word. Bless you lady and may you enjoy so much more
Rebeka. You are a natural beauty off the scale. Your passion and appreciation of the music in your spirit pours out each time you react. You are captivated and captivating. Such a good soul. I'm glad to follow your channel. Wish you well, great young lady.
Love you and your reactions, Rebeka! Dire Straits is one of my favorite bands. Their album "Alchemy Live" is one of my favorite albums. Every song is a gem!! If you don't own it, get it!!
Thanks Rebeka, I was at two of the concerts on that tour, in Tasmania. That was one of the few times that Dire Straits had a full video production crew (Tv Channel 9) and that concert was broadcast live in Sydney, Australia as the last one in the tour. Thanks again for reminding me!! Love your reaction.
I love all your reactions to Dire Straits, my favourite band from ever. I think you really transpose all the emotions that DS fans feel when listening to their music. Great work, congrats!
I've watched so many of these reaction videos and I'm totally surprised that no-one has ever mentioned one of the finest British songs ever. It doesn't matter if you review the studio or live version but Al Stewarts 'Year of the cat' is just beautiful. Try it, you'll be entranced and transported to another mystical Country. Sheer genius with amazing lyrics.
This has been my favorite Dire Straits song for a lot longer than I'd care to admit. A lot of songs stand out for people because of a certain person that the song connects to, and this one's no different for me. "It was just that the time was wrong" always makes me think of her.
Hi Rebeka and all, this is one of Mark's master creations right here, I'm so pleased that you found this version. I remember watching this concert live on TV with my Dad, having seen Dire Straits live about six weeks earlier in New Zealand. Incidentally, this concert was the same day as the Chernobyl disaster, 26 April 1986.
Love is a blessing and a curse at the same time. I love this song and my late wife loved it, too. Every time I hear it I think of her and it still hurts 11 years on but I still have to listen to it right to the end.
This is a lovely song and i like the musical arrangement. Mark is really good at making a guitar sound gentle and emotional. I’m sure he can only do that because he finger picks.
Rebeka, please please please, "Tunnel of Love" - my favorite song from this band. An immortal composition that begins with a sampling of an overture of the classic uber-emotional vintage Broadway musical "Carousel", and then moves into classic Dire Straits territory with an extended guitar outro that will wear your tear ducts down to shreds and leave you helpless to do anything but listen to it again, again, and again.
I'm glad you love Dire Straits, I grew up with them in the 80's and God how I loved them. I still find them incredibly cool as a band and so much damn talent everywhere. Sometimes I wonder how it's possible to create music that is so good. It must take a real genius working with other incredibly talented people who all act together to make a miracle. That saxophone, the guitar playing of Mark Knopfler and how the piano takes it over and of course how the music alone tells a story without anyone saying anything. It doesn't get any better. For more of Mark Knopfler, he wrote a good deal of music for various films including "Local Hero" and "The Princess Bride". Check out both of these films, they are unique.
In 1985, I met someone who has been a friend ever since. He asked then ‘who was my favourite band?’ My answer was ‘Dire Straits!’ We’ve seen them on every one of DS and MK concerts every time they’ve been in Toronto, Canada.
For a rocker, this man has written such sensitive, and humorous songs. Think this one, and Brothers in Arms; have to agree that this performance of Romeo and Juliet is one of the best - he never delivers it the same way twice.
As always, love your reaction! The Saxaphone which was not a part of the studio version of this song just takes this already masterpiece to an EPIC level!
Hi Becky, yet again, a great uninterrupted reaction video, with your much loved opinions at the end........No one else like you, oh! and you are gorgeous.......Stay well..........😍😘😘😘
New subscriber here. You are a joy to watch and listen to. 'Happiness is amazing' - Afterlife by Ricky Gervais. Your charming personality makes people, including me, happy. You're real and genuine and it's infectious. (And you know how to rock out! 😊🤘👌) All the best, from Britain.
Great to see a young woman enjoying Dire Straits, Telegraph Road is my personal favourite but it's easy to see why someone would love this song. Knopfler doesn't need to sing, his guitar does it for him, every song is a story.
Rebeka thanks for watching this! My family watched this on our T.V. on what I believe was the First Simulcast. Our T.V stations were still only in Mono in this year. - At least in Australia. They had a radio station record the whole performance in Full Stereo. They recorded the video to the T.V. station. Then the two stations synched the sound to the video. So we had our tv with the sound turned off, and the radio sitting next to the t.v. with the radiostations' stereo sound. Dire Straits was pretty good at doing groundbreaking stuff. They did one of the first 3d Computer Music Videos for "Money for nothing."
Rebeka, I am so glad you liked this song so much, it's a favorite of mine. The studio album version of this is also great (and shorter), as well as another incredible live version on the Alchemy live album (from a few years earlier than the version you watched) that you can compare. This song captures that first young and deep love and first devastating heartbreak. I'm sure to anyone listening it will bring you back to wherever that place and time was. And it does it with such love.
mark knopfler lived those lyrics. literally. his voice has a quality that lets his emotions be felt through lyrics with real depth because those lyrics, like all of his songwriting, is in a class by itself! all that and then that guitar singing even more than he is!!! and the band, each part, so in touch to bring their all into the mix, is a package that fulfills a musical yearning in our hearts. they know how to express that like - well - almost like no others in my book. i say that loving lots of music of all kinds, lots and lots, but dire straits take things to top tier to me! i enjoyed it with you :) :) :)
i was not at this exact concert, but i saw them on the same tour! my first gig! my father took me, i was 14, and my brain almost exploded! big love to all people :)
I was at this concert, I was 23 now 60 still remember like yesterday, followed them North QLD to Adelaide until they played Telegraph Road. You need to listen to this live
I never heard that song before Rebecca but you are right when is saxophone came in the first of the song I was hooked I'm a sucker for saxophone piano guitar everything. I think it's delivery on when he sings it's good. Can't wait for your next reaction video you are never boring LOL❤
One of the best live concerts recorded from the 80s era. It was recorded at the end of an extensive world tour with the proceeds of this concert going to an Australian charity. Chris White , the saxophonist, was used a lot more on this tour than previous saxophone players in the past. He also played flute and percussion n this concert/tour. I hope you get the chance to check out the whole concert one day.
My favourite song of all time, by the finest musician of all time, and without doubt the finest guitarist of all time. I would sell my soul to play the guitar like this GENIUS
Funny but watching your videos you are a so a girl out of her time. Your musical taste is wonderful and pure and beckons to a simpler time. Definitely enjoyed this and I loved your expression of enjoyment, (Makes my day). Thank you.
I told ya, Becks: Dire Straits is a "one-way ride". Great song and performance. Maybe you should try "Your Latest Trick" from the "On The Night" concert. It'll blow your mind.
The Saxophone player Chris White is still playing in the Dire Straights experience band. These guys are touring through Europe all the time. They Sound perfect!! I was flabbergasted. Check it out if you can.
You have a new subscriber today. It’s such a pleasant change to see a reaction without the constant pausing of great songs. You are a true music fan👌🏻👍🏻
My favorite Dire Straits song! I usually don’t like Mark’s live performances because he changes things up so much from the studio versions, but this one is excellent! BTW, you make it really hard to try and watch Mark! 🙂
Fantastic. I've been hoping you would take a look at this one. My wife's favourite, from well before we were married. Sadly this was based on a real relationship from Mark's early career. I think it hurt. I last saw him perform this live in 2019 I think? maybe 2018. I always love seeing that particular guitar come out though. For your next one, I'd suggest "Private Investigations." And don't forget Mark Knopfler's career didn't end with Dire Straits. He has a pretty impressive catalogue of work under his own name too.
Mark Knopfler has made great music for over four decades. Dire Straits lasted a total of 16 years with Mark and John Illsley being the only two members that were in all their iterations. Since going solo in 1996 his band has had a much more cohesive core and released even more music than Dire Straits painted with a broader brush. Worth a listen. Personally waiting for his new stuff to hear what he does as a septagenerian.
Hi nice to see you back Bek. I went to this concert at a very young age and I said this is my fav. band. And it still stands. Can I recommend Calling Elvis from DIRE STRAITS Live ON THE NIGHT 1993. The end is breathtaking. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸🎸
Saw them several times in the 80’s and what I always took away with me was that they were actually BETTER LIVE! One of the few top axemen to not use a pick. His blister on his thumb happened a very long time ago. Now he’s a master.
I was actually at this concert in the Sydney Entertainment Centre and the thing about bands of this calibre is that they sound just as good live as their records or CDs.
Loved your reaction❤️ I was a litlle hesitant at first you looking as you do ”beautiful ”, but you really understand music and I love it😊💪🏻. I will definitaly listen to you some more 😍👍🏻.
There are several versions of this song from their performances and they are all fantastic and unique in some way or another. My favorite is from Real Live Roadrunning.
It's a pleasure to watch one of my favourite song according to your lovely reaction. I love this band since my childhood and appreciate youngest generation push it on highlights again. Alchemy's version of "Romeo and Juliet" is, without a doubt the classic version but without sax. "On the night" version is more closer than this one and maybe my favourite. Anyway "Alchemy"and "On the night" concerts are amazing. Thanks again for this moment and even i'm not a big rock fan ususally, a masterpiece still a masterpiece and Dire Straits makes some.

Incredibly powerful; It cuts through, just when you're not ready.
This is BY FAR the best recording of R & J; she really picked up the lower range music. Thnks so much Rebeka!

It is so refreshing to see the pure joy on your face, in your movements as you absorbed this beautiful performance of this modern troubadour...
Mark Knopfler is a true OG guitarist. He recorded an album with Chet frickin' Atkins. Mark is a treasure.
Mark Knopfler transports you to another world, to another musical dimension. You can drift away into his world and feel the love and the passion.
Great reaction. Great live performance but the studio version is amazing as well. Great job.
Thank you.✨
Dire Straits are one of very bands to match Pink Floyd’s simple, but captivating music that embraces you completely, gorgeous ❤🎉
And Marillion is another band who does 😎
Hi Rebeka and all, this is one of Mark's master creations right here, I'm so pleased that you found this version. I remember watching this concert live on TV with my Dad, having seen Dire Straits live about six weeks earlier in New Zealand. Incidentally, this concert was the same day as the Chernobyl disaster, 26 April 1986.
I remember that day vividly. It was my 35th birthday. This is a lovely version of Romeo and Juliet.

Saw this concert in Wellington NZ after their Sydney performance. DS are phenomenal.
In 1985, I met someone who has been a friend ever since. He asked then ‘who was my favourite band?’ My answer was ‘Dire Straits!’ We’ve seen them on every one of DS and MK concerts every time they’ve been in Toronto, Canada.
For a rocker, this man has written such sensitive, and humorous songs. Think this one, and Brothers in Arms; have to agree that this performance of Romeo and Juliet is one of the best - he never delivers it the same way twice.

My family watched this on our T.V. on what I believe was the First Simulcast.
Our T.V stations were still only in Mono in this year. - At least in Australia.
They had a radio station record the whole performance in Full Stereo.
They recorded the video to the T.V. station.
Then the two stations synched the sound to the video.
So we had our tv with the sound turned off, and the radio sitting next to the t.v. with the radiostations' stereo sound.
Dire Straits was pretty good at doing groundbreaking stuff.
They did one of the first 3d Computer Music Videos for "Money for nothing."
This was the last concert of their 18 month (?) world tour, broadcast by Channel 9. I still have my VHS copy from that evening.
Feeling nostalgic, I was part of the crowd & sat in the 8th row from the stage, they did 22 shows in Sydney & I went to 8 shows, those were the days
Rebeka, I am so glad you liked this song so much, it's a favorite of mine. The studio album version of this is also great (and shorter), as well as another incredible live version on the Alchemy live album (from a few years earlier than the version you watched) that you can compare. This song captures that first young and deep love and first devastating heartbreak. I'm sure to anyone listening it will bring you back to wherever that place and time was. And it does it with such love.

My favorite Dire Straits song! I usually don’t like Mark’s live performances because he changes things up so much from the studio versions, but this one is excellent! BTW, you make it really hard to try and watch Mark! 🙂
I’m the opposite of you. I much prefer the live versions
My favourite song of all time.
Fantastic. I've been hoping you would take a look at this one. My wife's favourite, from well before we were married. Sadly this was based on a real relationship from Mark's early career. I think it hurt. I last saw him perform this live in 2019 I think? maybe 2018. I always love seeing that particular guitar come out though. For your next one, I'd suggest "Private Investigations." And don't forget Mark Knopfler's career didn't end with Dire Straits. He has a pretty impressive catalogue of work under his own name too.
Mark Knopfler has made great music for over four decades. Dire Straits lasted a total of 16 years with Mark and John Illsley being the only two members that were in all their iterations. Since going solo in 1996 his band has had a much more cohesive core and released even more music than Dire Straits painted with a broader brush. Worth a listen. Personally waiting for his new stuff to hear what he does as a septagenerian.
Hi nice to see you back Bek. I went to this concert at a very young age and I said this is my fav. band. And it still stands. Can I recommend Calling Elvis from DIRE STRAITS Live ON THE NIGHT 1993. The end is breathtaking. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸🎸
Thank you.😊🙏🏼
Saw them several times in the 80’s and what I always took away with me was that they were actually BETTER LIVE!
One of the few top axemen to not use a pick.
His blister on his thumb happened a very long time ago.
Now he’s a master.
I was 19 in 1986 those times will never return ,I was lucky to experience them, great music , great band , great MARK
I was actually at this concert in the Sydney Entertainment Centre and the thing about bands of this calibre is that they sound just as good live as their records or CDs.
Great reaction as always
Loved your reaction❤️ I was a litlle hesitant at first you looking as you do ”beautiful ”, but you really understand music and I love it😊💪🏻. I will definitaly listen to you some more 😍👍🏻.
Thank you.😊🙏🏼
Great band, great song, great reaction. And on a personal note,if you ever find yourself in need of a romeo 😉 lol 👍❤🏴
Every time when the lyrics go ...you and me babe, how about it?... I get a bolt of lightening through my body.
I was at that concert!! I always wanted to say that!!!! It was the Love over Gold tour in Sydney. I'll Never forget it)
.
There are several versions of this song from their performances and they are all fantastic and unique in some way or another. My favorite is from Real Live Roadrunning.
It's a pleasure to watch one of my favourite song according to your lovely reaction.
I love this band since my childhood and appreciate youngest generation push it on highlights again.
Alchemy's version of "Romeo and Juliet" is, without a doubt the classic version but without sax.
"On the night" version is more closer than this one and maybe my favourite.
Anyway "Alchemy"and "On the night" concerts are amazing.
Thanks again for this moment and even i'm not a big rock fan ususally, a masterpiece still a masterpiece and Dire Straits makes some.
Thanks
