Best guitar solo of all times, Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits (Alchemy live)

- Sultans of Swing es una de las canciones insignia de la banda británica de rock Dire Straits (en español, "problemas económicos", explicado por el mismo Mark Kpnofler), lanzada en su álbum debut homónimo Dire Straits, en 1978. La canción se convertiría en uno de los grandes éxitos del grupo a nivel internacional. Fue el primer sencillo de la banda, y en la versión incluida en el disco Alchemy: Dire Straits Live de 1984, Mark improvisa y amplia el solo de la canción, consideradose una de sus mejores interpretaciones. Simplemente espectacular.
Nobody plays guitar or writes a song like Mark Knopfler. One if my all time favorites.
As your name implies... I put him in a rare class w/Gilmour & Clapton. These are in my Top 5 personal favorites due to range, depth & scope.
@@TomRolfson yeah!
Lol ever heard of Jerry Garcia, Bob weir, Gilmore, Clapton, etc
@@JohnDoeDeadhead420 I happen to be a big Gilmour fan and Clapton is pretty good. The Dead never did it for me at all. It doesn't matter, I stand by my comment. Knopfler has a totally unique style, nobody sounds like him unless they're copying him. And his writing style is great too. So nobody does it like he does. I didn't say he's the best.
As for Gilmour, he hasn't written lyrics in decades. His wife Polly writes for him.
And I don't know many lyrics to the Dead, but the ones I do know are alright, but not like the poetry of Mark Knopfler, in my opinion. So again, I stand by my comment.
I don't believe there is a "best" player or writer, but for me Knopfler combines both in a unique way, nobody does it like he does.
His voice is awesome too. He's a great musician.
I’ve been fortunate to have experienced rock from the Beatles and on. But, “Sultans of Swing is a masterpiece of composition and execution. The guitar rifs are authentically genuine. Truly innovative. Perhaps my all time favorite.
I have owned the DVD for 15 years...best soft rock concert in History...!
I really appreciate the contrast he puts into his playing, knowing when to drop it down soft, then jumping on it with intensity.....what a great talent!!
The most underrated guitarist of the modern era.
Have followed DS since they formed, bought their first album called "Dire Straits" (strangely 😃). Last saw them at Birmingham Areaa good few years ago, still superb.
MarkK is truly an underrated guiitarrist
Underrated? Don´t think so. I know literary nobody who ever heard him play his guitar not being blown away.
The whole band is in perfect sync and Mark is amazing

I was a student living in Earls Court (yes, really) when I read a review of Dire Straits' first album in one of the music magazines "Mark Knopfler says in a few notes more than most guitarists take an album to say".
Without having heard a note of Dire Straits I went and bought the album from a little music shop in Earls |Court station.
Not disappointed.
I've always thought it took guts to open the album with the slow start of Down to the Waterline.
Damn right, best live version of Sultans of swing! So damn energetic, and they are all having fun!
It was Tunnel of Love, not Sultans...
@@jerryfriend7489 huh?
@@jerryfriend7489 Its the sultans of swing alchemy solo, but okay. Not Tunnel of Love
Dire Straits holds a very special place as they saved rock n roll from disco!
Magic in his fingers ! Absolutely superb !
Don't you love the way he makes it look so effortless.I'm not a musician so I guess my one of my many faults would be jealousy of talent such as this.
Con esta actuacion de Mark Knopfler se podria hacer un recital llenar unos estadios e irnos tranquilamente a casa despues de escuchar a este genio...... Feliz 2023 El Pana...........
Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler are quite good friends and both are quite the admirer of each other, a master in their own right or style if you will
DIVINIDAD ABSOLUTA!! A ESO LO LLAMO YO TOCAR EL CIELO🎸🎸🎸
One of mine best groups love these guys.
Agreed, it is. Played the entire album in my car just this weekend.
This is just unbelievable !
There are guitar players, then there Is Knopfler who uses the instrument to express his masterful and creative genius. A true legend!
Please don't forget the master Jimi!
Santana?
Have you ever listend to Hank Marwin (The Shadows ). Even Mark admired the red guitarplaying.
name of this solo? guitar solo
Fantastic but listen to that drummer too, he’s having a total blast!
Il modo di suonare la chitarra di Mark Knopfler mi ha sempre affascinato. Non è il migliore chitarrista, ma i suoi assoli sono sempre coinvolgenti
Remarkable, by any standards.
And with two fingers stuck to the keyboard.
Imagine what he might have done using all five!
Minha banda favorita Dire STRAITS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
El mejor solo que jamás he escuchado,diosssss los pelos de punta
To bad they don't make music like that today ! ~🎶🎶🎵🎵 Bravo Mark and Dire Straits !!!
i played drums during my youth and this is always giving me a good kick LOL ,,,,,,,,,,great band of all times ,,,,,god bless in 2022 november
Can’t neglect the drummer. That boy can swing those sticks…
What Drummer oh there he is, yeah he's great he can't half batter those drums 👍👌
They’re all doing it right!
Pic Withers was the soul of the group. His fills were simply astounding.
Everyone neglects the drummer
Terry Williams on drums,.
Love this man wow !!!!!!!
The synchronisation is off the charts😮
hes from another world!absolute jenius of music art
Absolutely superb--- heavenly--out of the world!
Brilliant. The drumming is incredible.
De vrais guitaristes du pur bonheur
Pure Energy!
Brutal!!!!!😎😎😎
Best guitar solo ever ❤❤❤❤👍
brings back some memories
one of the best clean sound guitarist of 80s.
Of all times
Wow! Breathtaking
It's a bold statement to title any guitar solo the " Best of all time ". However intricate and technical any solo may be, it's hard for me personally accept it as the best unless it's being played by David Gilmour. He has the ability to make a Fender move you like no one else on the planet, past and present.
Totally agreed. A Supernatural talent.
Will never forget our" Endless Summer" Surfing trips to Cornwall playing "Shine On" and "CN" the cassette player in the car.
Soundtrack to our lives as young men seeking.....whatever.
Gary Moore also belongs up there. Those are legends, never to be repeated.
Amazing discovery wandering on Internet tonight. I used to here the 3 minute version of My MTV and Sultans of Swat. I never realized how talented a guitar player he was until I watched the live performances. He is in the Jimi Hendrix, Robert Fripp and Carlos Santana category.
It was a great concert, I remember it well.
Não paro de ouvir
Bestia animal ,geniooooooo
Danke
Oh good gracious me.
That some stuff!!!!!!!!!
The GOAT
Simply Colossal.
Amazing 🎸🔊
Top 10 yes number one no way not complicated enough
Brilliant
Listen to Marks 1996 version from ‘One Night in London’ …., Amazing ! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Guitar God
powerful.
This is so good better not possibe!
Magistral, no hi ningú com ell. Gracies Mark.¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
THE MAN IS A GOD!!!
40 year old vintage. Anybody else out there today able to do this on that scale?
Didn’t think so…..
From Algérie ❤
No wonder Clapton loves him. Amazing.
Amazing
Wspaniałe,coś niesamowitego.
Mark Knopfler,prince,jimmy Hendricks top 3 guitar players
Miss Hank Marvin....
💪💪💪
I gotta call Jimmy Hendrix the best but Mark Knopfler is right close to him! 😎
fucking awesome.
Who can pinpoint their exact favourite second in this? Mine is 3.08
Its the last thing I want to hear as I die
I'm saying the best 6 fingered solo.. Just to keep Floyd and Zep fans onboard... Oh and Prince, amazing guy Prince....
Maybe Mark isn’t the best guitar ever 🤷♀️ BUT THAT NIGHT IN HAMMERSMITH THEATRE HE WAS THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD!!! And I was f**k THEREEEEEEEEE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 Cheers from London!
NO WAY. Olga from the Toy Dolls makes this look like a 3rd year student guitarist. Chet Atkins,Jimmy Hendrix and right now the greatest living guitarist in the world Olga.
One of the very few songs that sounds way better than the studio version, just gets better every time you hear it.
Yes and you never hear it the same twice.
Such a gentle touch on the strings, Knopfler is a fingerpicker with impeccable taste.
Just LOVE Knopfler's style. So smooth and emotive. He can make a guitar sing, he can make a guitar cry, he can make a guitar cheer, etc. The guitar takes on a personality all its own when Knopfler plays it. He is one with the guitar. And he's technically good, too. That is what sets him apart. My favorite axe man, hands down.
your so right!
There is nothing more to say, just listen
I always know when I am hearing a Knopfler played guitar. There is no one else with that sound.
So he's not guitar George then.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
That, girls and boys, is how you make music.
That’s how you play the guitar on the MTV 😉
Exactly 🙌👏👏👏👏
😊👍🏻👋🏻
Absolutely!
The drums on this are out of this fookin world, just fantastic😊😊
Terry Williams was on fire that night, amazing performance, one of the best ever.....🤘👌
I don't think Mark Knopfler has received the recognition that he deserves!
Of course he has. Don't be ridiculous.
How about 3 PhD's ???
@@johnhitz1185 Incluso más de lo que es.
@@juangarciabakero4906😂😂😂
Same thing for alvin Lee 🎉
A brief collision of everything that makes a live performance a magic moment. Knopfler's technical skills and his musical creativity were at a peak, the band was enjoying themselves and the song is a masterpiece in itself. Awesome.
No dancing girls , no gimmicks . Just pure Talent from the greatest guitarist in the world . Absolutely superb !!
Fantastic
He is the Magus.❤
One of the better ones, not the greatest
@@bradcondon6632 It's all a matter of opinion.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
GENIUS THAT IS THE GREAT MARK KNOPLER AND DIRE STRAITS THEY DON'T COME ANY BETTER THAN THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC.
"No big words"... except that Mark Knopler is the greatest guitarr player ever ❤ Thank you for the music and thereby the joy you give ❤
I've been a dancer, and now at 70 years i still dance to your amazing music ❤
@@AgnetaEriksson-zu3it Nopfler is very good, no doubting that - but very extreme to put him up there as THE GOAT……Too many sherrys I suspect before you wrote that😂
I am a metal guy through and through but damn..I allways loved Mark..pure genius
Best in the world. Never goes out of style. Can listen to Mark 50 times a day. Never get tired of his genius.
I love his music. He is so great.
True
You’ve obviously never heard guitar players. Ever. Anywhere.
Yes, he is one of the greatests, but ...
Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore, Billy Gibbons, Angus Jung, John Lee Hooker, B.B.King, Bo Didley, Keith Richards, George Harrison, Carlos Santana, Steve Morse, David Gilmour, Jango Reinhardt, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, ...
name of this solo? guitar solo
This transports me staight back to the 80's.
Beautiful, memorable and thankful for being there, as a young Man, at the time.
Wonderful talent on display here.
The Bach of rock guitar! Mark is Mark. You can love great musicians like Clapton, Gilmour, Hendrix, Page... but Mark Knopfler is another planet. A gentleman, not a boaster! A real genius, the best rock guitarist ever. ❤

~~Way better than A. Y. who relies on showing off guitar playing
with one hand or the other and strutting about.
I’m sure M. K. could play with one hand also
but he is too much of an ARTIST to pander to show boating.
Please ask yourself who has added more to the world,
A. Y. with H/§hw@¥ to H€££ etc or
M. K.. with Walk of life, Down by The Waterline.
Sultans of Swing and many other great ones ! ! !

No, he's on this planet, fan-boy, and you apparently don't know much about rock.
Inspiration by Chris Rea.
@@johnhitz1185 You don't put up a good argument
@@Stanley-xd1gf He was doing this kind of thing before C R who seemed to be copying his style
Wow after all these years .Mark can still bring a huge smile to my face with this amazing track and exceptional guirating skills
After all these years? This was 37 years ago. God we are getting old.
It's hard to describe but as good as Knopflers solo is, and it's amazing, the unsung hero is Terry Williams on drums. He provides a depth and energy that helps draw you in...you hear him very clearly but he's not a distraction, from 2:08 on he is killing it.
Spot on 🤟
I love classical music but the stream of musical talent we have seen since the fifties is stunning.
So true,when you listen to his playing from 3:16 ,you know that he influenced later drummers,ie the late Taylor Hawkins drums in Everlong.
You hit it right on the money. The drummer is awesome yet not overbearing!
Terry Commanchero was at his best on Many Are Called But Few Get Up with the classic Man line-up. Mind you there is no doubt that, as technically brilliant as Knopfler is, Mickey Jones was a better guitarist.
Brilliant. Great on his own, but Dire Straits together was utter magic.
>>> Give credit to the drummer too!
Amazing drummer
Terry Williams is a legend
Credit to all
You know it's Mark by the first 'NOTE' His voice is unforgettable. As well is his guitar licks!!!
That’s right
Pretty good hey
Best guitarist, but his voice and singing aren't really that great
Alchemy, Has to be the BEST live album ever (In my opinion) 10/10 *****
There is no word, it's beautiful, magical.
Terry is just incredible on the drums on alchemy. I reckon he steals the show. Amazing speed and fills. But also sensitive and slow when required. A real master.
Dire Straits were one of the greatest bands from 1980 till 1985. They're awesome! And 40 years later, they still sound amazing!! Tunnel Of Love guitar solo is a one of a kind masterpiece!
are one of the shittiest Bands
The 90s were spectacular too; On Every street is a masterpiece. I saw them many times. Still number ones.
Tunnel of love solo is my favourite ❤️
Yes tunnel of love final solo is on my top 1 together with sultan basel92 solo version
Drums are brilliant. Best drummer ever terry William's I believe
Yup
But he hasn't got TIME,
He's extremely good but not the best, Moon was better, he could play his as the lead and not just rythmn.
I approve your message, williams is in deed on of the best
name of this solo? guitar solo
One of the signature live performances of anything, by anyone, any time ever.
Totally, absolutely agree.
Yes! I would love to have been there.
Im lost for words, that is probably the best live guitar performance ive ever seen in 43 years of my life, incredible
You never seen Peter green,Rory Gallagher,Jimmy Hendrix,Robert frip., then;
They where still playing this on the Brothers in Arms tour in 1985, the down side is I still suffer the Tinnitus to this day, this solo was painful loud.
Recommendation: Buy "Love Over Gold" (contain only 5 tracks) ... Feel your sould being touched! By Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. Very versatile album.
First time you listen, do this: Lay down in a dark room, with headsets on. You will never forget that moment ! (I get goosebumps from just writing this)
Especialle the guitar solo on second track, the almost 7 minutes long "Private investigations" (performed on spanish guitar, by Mark Knopfler). Superb !!!
[ps. The solo played here (from Alchemy Live) is at the end of the 14 minutes long first track "Telegraph Road", on album "Love Over Gold" ]
If you tried out my recommendation - let me know if you agree it was a memorable journey and experience.
Also Stevie Ray Vaughan.

no argument there !!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no one on the planet as intelligent and talented when creating music. He is one of kind. His music touches your soul.
I'm soooo impressed that you have listened to all the musicians in the entire world and discovered that there is "no one on the planet as intelligent and talented when creating music" as Mr. Knopfler. Impressed by your ignorance and bald-faced lying. He's recorded some boring shit too, as he would be glad to tell fan-boys and girls like you.
Fan-boy bullshit.
He is one of my favourites but there are many others who are equally as good or better.
@burstcity3832 Agree that there are other greats out there, his style happens to my favorite.😊
😮@@johnhitz1185
The definition of good music : Mark Knopfler, brilliant
definition of PUKE!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮 not brilliant just repeated the same lick over and over, how is this even a solo???
