    I remember when my dad finished restoring his 1965 Corvette he took me out on the first drive, and when he pulled onto the highway he put this song on it’s a memory I’ll never forget the sound of the V8 and the sound of Dire Straits one of my all-time favourite moments with my dad

      The money for nothing riff reminds me of i can't get no satisfaction by the stones. Just with a few extra notes.
      I love the riff. But smoke on the water is the greatest riff ever written and one of the reasons is because it is so simple. Money for nothing is a fantastic song and the riff is amazing don't get me wrong. But smoke on the water is easily the most recognizable riff ever made alongside back in black by ac/dc

    he drops the hottest riff on that crowd and looks cool as ice doing it...such an iconic sound with that half-cocked wah and his finger style playing. I can only explain this as a guitar player: there are heavy riffs like Enter Sandman or Paranoid, and then there are heavy riffs like this. To me, this riff is SO heavy - doesn't need a ton of distortion or a full stack of Marshalls, just some seriously percussive and precise playing. It's like Smoke On The Water on steroids!

    What a performance, one of the best riffs of all time. The crowd knew their assignment, the claps on beat less than a line in gave me chills.

      @@timtam6442 I saw Niles and Kissoon with Clapton at the Albert Hall back in the 90s when Knophler played regularly with him. The percussionist is Ray Cooper who has also been with Clapton for years. Clapton often had Andy Fairweather-Low with him as rhythm guitarist. You can hear Kissoon sing a solo on the live version of Wonderful Tonight. This is great rendition of Money for Nothing.
