As a guitar player myself. People really don't realize what a great guitar player Mark is. He is one of the absolute best as you will find trying to play this song the way he does is almost impossible to replicate exactly.
Who is it? Which people? Simply if you like listening to guitars you can't ignore MK. The thing is that for many people if you don't burn your guitar strings you're not a guitarist. Speed before expressiveness.
Hahahaha, he just wants to play. Takes his award, says a few words, almost no smile, Nothing, just wants his guitar and play.. I love him for his music and his personality!
The years go by, don't they? This song, like all of Mark's songs, remained fresh, beautiful and exciting. Like it was played for the first time yesterday. I love Mark! ❤🎶🎸🎤👍🙋♀️
Mark Knopfler, you have a very large audience in my country {Libya🇱🇾} We enjoy you a lot, especially on stage, when you give concerts in the capitals of the world, and when you hold your unique guitar and start playing the solo guitar, we go with you very far into the fantasy world that we can only go to through your playing only. The generation of the 70's and 80's lived with you every big and small thing and grew up listening to your songs and instrumentals that broke the world and reached no end. Greetings giant 🤝👍.
I always love to see the communication between musicians during live shows, often expressed just with a look or a small gesture. Like here at 4:58, where Mark just makes quick eye contact and gives a small nod to the drummer to let him know this is where he wants to go back to the main part.
It's kinda cool, but really good musicians actually rehearse all of that sort of thing to improve the show. I'm sure they appreciate you noticing though!
@@devilsoffspring5519 It depends a lot on the type of music. But in a lot of live music, there are things you can't really rehearse (or it is unreasonable to do so), especially if a bit of improvisation is involved (which almost always is with live performances). That's where communication between musicians on stage comes :) So you don't rehearse everything to play it exactly the same each time down to a single note, but you rehearse how the "blocks" fit together and what the agreed upon "tells" for switching between them are - like guitarist giving a nod to a drummer who then plays a specific fill, which in turn lets the rest of the band know there will be a change on the very next measure.
That fender comes alive with the touch of Mark's fingers on the strings. The emotions attack the heart and mind. How can we remain insensitive to the music as he plays not only the strings but our hearts. Thank you Mark for playing all these years.
The Start of the Song Launches with a typical drum rhythm harmonising slowly to catch up with the Guitar Chords & Mark Knopler Signature Vocals .... Greatest Guitarist I have ever known whose notes on guitar themselves emanate music straight to link with a heavenly feeling
A beautiful song of a Great Brittain guitarplayer and songwriter Mark Knopfler (ex-Dire Straits), who became an concert in Holland (my country i've born). I love this song and I love also the CD "Sailing to Philadelphia" from 2001. On the way to the North of the Netherlands I listen the CD and I fell in sleep and dreaming of beautiful dreams... Love this song!!!
Talento assoluto. Questo brano poi è un qualcosa di meraviglioso. Melodia e scorrevolezza. Fa parlare la chitarra 🎸. Uno dei chitarristi migliori al mondo. Nonostante i suoi 72 anni è un grandissimo. Eccezionale.
Ok, let's take it like this; He's not sad. That's the way he looks. Look at videos from -79 or -92 for an example, he does not usually smiles when there's no need. And sometimes it happens, his wonderful smile just breaks out. How I love that look! Not in this video tho, but I can give you plenty of videos where he do it. Sometimes it has to do with the songs. This is not a very happy song, or take 'Brothers in arms', he can't stay there laughing during that tune.
when I was a child I remember the long drives to our vacation destinations and there was always a dire straits song with my dad and me singing along. walk of life was especially one of the songs thats in my nostalgia list. now I am in my 30s and still listen to this amazing man in 2020:D
Bravo Maestro .... Bravo ... The best version of this song I have seen so far. I have 23 versions of this song, but this is the best Live version by far ... What an amazing extended solo... Wish he would sing the extended version of this song live ... the one with the extra verse... Thank you Dogswede1... May you and your live long and prosper !!
I was on his Concert last Saturday 17. of July 2010, he played this song also, wow wow wow, it was amazing to watch Mark live. I can say to all of us, if possible go there and watch Mark Knopfler llive. He is an hero, he is one of the famoust guitar players and musicans in the world! I love him, i love his voice! A wonderfull man, i hope he can play one time in heaven!
stratocaster his age with him. yellowed, scratched, scarred, but always the same sound and the same guts. Mark is a genius, there is no history. I bow before his genius.
I had a rough time pulling this shit off when I was 22, and that was a LONG time ago. Mark was, what, half a century older? And, I've been a good musician in my life! Mark Knopfler is different from us :)
And the stuff you said about that something may went wrong,, Yeah, that's an idea, but I'm not sure. Of course, you can't buy happiness with money,, I can only speculate, but I think Knopfler is lucky that he had a normal life before he became a 'rock star'. He was like 28 years old when Dire Straits hit it, and he has worked as both a teacher and a journalist and had a really common life as anybody else, and that's what probably kept him from the usual rock life.
@vitix97 sei un ragazzo in gamba. ho 56 anni e pensa che ieri ho ascoltato 20 diversi video della stessa canzone anche dei temper trep (fader) per individuare quello che ha il milgior suono specie dal vivo..You tube è un formidabile fornitore della qualità, grazie a persone da ringraziare , spesso con unicità di performance che non avremo mai potuto godere di sentire...Le musica non è solo la canzone, ma soprattutto la qualità che entrando nelle orecchie coinvolge i sette sensi.Fossaalta
Its only when I see this man, that I wish I could be dead ......... and reborn with the talent of making a guitar talk and words dance .. and make it work like he does !!!!
the bend at 1:57 is orgasmic, making the geetar cry and sing Nobody but nobody's got Mark Knopflers feel, all his emotions are let out thru the guitar. Long Live the legendary Mark Knopfler
I was not a fan of guitar till I encountered Dire Straits. Mark's talent is legendary in that he can do guitars for "What It is", "Money for Nothing" and "Sultans of Swing". All these songs have different ways the guitar is used and evoke different reactions on listening to it.
Para mi gusto el mejor guitarrista del mundo. Aun a su edad tiene una enorme clase y habilidad. Grande Mark, te sigo desde que estabas en Dire Straits...

One of my favorites l seem to have allot your songs as my favorites ! Thanks ❤️ for sharing this beautiful song, so special 💕
Exatamente! Além de tocar e musicalidade pára ele, ele dá à oportunidade, da banda se soltar com as notas. Gênio.
Maybe my all time favorite or at least in the top 2. Not only his playing, but his song writing. I love him from the bottom of my soul.

There are some who can never be replicated. Mark is certainly one of those.
There's only one person can make a guitar talk,scream, whisper, laugh and weep like this, and that is Mark.
Don’t forget Mr. David Gilmour
@@password_xy fuck gilmour this is mk the greatest!!!
@@ragnarlthbrksigurdssn2617 nah nah gilmour also plays such great melodies,both are great,knopfler is so underatted thats it !!!
Gilmour?????
@@ragnarlthbrksigurdssn2617 gilmour is an angel,but mark is god.
Hahahaha, he just wants to play. Takes his award, says a few words, almost no smile, Nothing, just wants his guitar and play.. I love him for his music and his personality!
Yeah it doesn’t mean much
Mark is 72 years old now and still going strong Bless him 💖
best guitar player in the world, in my opinion
carlorenneraraujo indeed
Mark Knofler
The Edge
David Gilmour
Gary Moore
I agree
@@rawalpindiislamabad5783 John Frusciante :) Stay healthy bro ❤️
Mine too...
The years go by, don't they? This song, like all of Mark's songs, remained fresh, beautiful and exciting. Like it was played for the first time yesterday. I love Mark! ❤🎶🎸🎤👍🙋♀️
That outro improvisation has to be some of the most melodic mark has ever played on stage
Agree. It is beautiful.
Mark's guitar talent is terribly underrated
The perfect lyric mistake - 2:04
The perfect solo - 3:08
The perfect MK-face - 4:42
The perfect song - 1:05 - 08:36
The perfect comment
Yes!perfect!
perfecto
I am addicted to this song.
The humble maestro. Mark's extreme talent is a gift to all humanity.
Every time this song plays in my car I crank up the volume. One of my favorite songs. Just masterful musicianship!!

He plays so rhythmically, so measured, so calm, so clean, so melodically, so sweet. Always makes me crave for more.
What it is é uma das minhas músicas favoritas! E Mark tocando e cantando, é um charme!!! Ele é um fenômeno!!!
🎸🌷🎸💋💋💋
Sensational that tranquility when playing, this is a work of art
As a lifelong guitar player, I’ve always loved how his solos just seem to “float” so effortlessly.
Talento assoluto. Questo brano poi è un qualcosa di meraviglioso. Melodia e scorrevolezza. Fa parlare la chitarra 🎸. Uno dei chitarristi migliori al mondo. Nonostante i suoi 72 anni è un grandissimo. Eccezionale.

this has to be one of the best guitar tones i've heard in ages.
There is no need for lyrics dear Mark. for can sing the weather forecast. I'll still enjoy it :
:)

pure brilliance, what a musician. Today's so called musicians can never get close to him for sheer perfection
Absolutely wondeful version of a great song,many thanks
The feeling of watching this live cannot be described in words. \m/
Dirgli il più grande chitarrista è soltanto riduttivo.
Che gioia per il cuore quelle note suonate in quel modo❤
Awesome!!! Great version (one of the best) and unbelievable closing... I don't think that Mark has ever done such a think...
This is fantastic ... But the end is the definition of perfection.
stratocaster his age with him. yellowed, scratched, scarred, but always the same sound and the same guts. Mark is a genius, there is no history.
I bow before his genius.
Mark knopfler é um gênio da música ❤excelente em tudo que faz amo seu trabalho, é maravilhoso ❤❤
This song is gorgeous....Mark's BRILL!!!💋💖
Thanks Mark Knopfler!
every time Marky picks that fender .... it has been history ...
I Love This Man!!!🎸💃😍
Exactly.. This version is BOMB
Me too girl!
He not only plays, he makes love to the guitar.
I had a rough time pulling this shit off when I was 22, and that was a LONG time ago. Mark was, what, half a century older? And, I've been a good musician in my life!
Mark Knopfler is different from us :)
Another wonderful video, more I listen, more I like.
Really love Mark Knopfler’s music…….❤️👍
A virtuoso performance, Bellissimo!!
This song and his voice is like vacation for my mind.
Mark Knopfler is imho one of the very best artist on this planet.
That encore solo is amazing!
that makes the rock and roll hall of fame the rock and roll hall of SHAME
One of the most guitar player !
Haha I LOVE it when they start the song over againg at the crowds request and he only plays some sweet guitarlicks!
Adel Houdrouge. Fantastic song. Beautiful voice. The perfection. The best guitarist. That s what it is !
Always sings his songs live.. Great artist!
And the stuff you said about that something may went wrong,, Yeah, that's an idea, but I'm not sure.

Best live version for me
He is GOAT of rhythmic guitaring... Effortless... Never seen him using picks plays with thumbs and fingers...
I just love Mark he doesn't really give a crap about recognitions or stuff, he just loves to play for himself and fo the audience.
Mark Knopfler: a great personality as well as a Dire Straits boss and during his solocareer. That's what it is!!
He is a genius.
Just makes me wanna go back to Edinburgh for Hogmanay. Special place, special time of year with special music.
Total concentration, My all time favorite

To jest po prostu niesamowite brakuje słów do tego ta lekkość i swoboda. Mark Knopfler na zawsze.
his guitar playing gives me goosebumps, wish I could play even half as good as mark.He`s a true talent
That "which doesn't mean you're dead" at the start was a real tactful and professional move.
Does anybody understand how somebody can be talking and laughing to someone behind, while M. Knopfler is on stage?
Simple wonderful mark knopfler 👏 👏
best of the best 💖
Mark, you're always a very special to me...sometimes I have tear listening to you....
Whatever Edison Awards are they obviously have more taste than the Grammys, Mtv awards, emmys kids choice and oscars all added together
I just love him and songs.
By the Grace of God.
AMEN
Fiji Fiji
Yeahhhhh, ik was there. Amazing to see him playing live all the time. He is so great. The best for me.
Absolutely the best.

the best guitar melody !
wat a legacy.....wat a guy thanx for all the tunes................
Bestial!!
This is what a real musician looks and sounds like.
Sensacional ❤
