Mark Knopler is a National Treasure.
As an Ex- Militairy Man , I can honestly say that that performance moved me to Tears . Mr Knopfler , Sir , you are truly a Legend and Master of your Craft .
When my son in law was killed, there was a bugler at both ends of the chapel. They played taps then my daughter was presented with our flag. A military service is the very saddest in the world. I had taps played at my mother's funeral too. That sound stays with you forever. My son in law was 21yrs. Old. He wasn't k.i.a.. it was a horrible accident on base. He had just re upped and so had my daughter.
Have you listened to his Brothers in Arms.
It maybe his way of calling the people of the world to unit against the evil war mongers. Brothers n arms.
Well said. Me too.
Thank you.
Thank you Mark!
Today is 25 April 2020, ANZAC DAY. Aussies and New Zealanders have the opportunity to take time to remember them. Forget semantics. LEST WE FORGET!
Lukim Wara Amen to that.
My admiration for Mark Knopfler just went up , if that's even possible.

In this day and age when nobody honors it I am glad that Knoppfler did. Says much about him.
Knophler is one of the greatest of all time and a class act. I feel fortunate to have grown up with his music. Love from Canada.
With you there matey
'One of the greatest of all time' eh?
Class act?
Well, I agree, he's good, very good and far better than I'll ever be,
but not not this good, this classy nor the greatest...

Thanks!
Beautiful, really emotional. After 102 years, I’ve finally found the resting place of my Gt Gt Uncle Reg from The War Graves Commission. I’ll be the 1st family member ever to visit his grave in France, as soon as it’s possible to travel again!!
Amazing. I am sure it will be both joyful and sombre, but what and experience. Hats off for your perseverance. Blessings from Canada.
something so simple, yet reminds us of the men and women who died for this country. God bless them.

No women died for their country
My Great Uncle was in the Northumberland Fusiliers, in WW1. He survived the Battle of the Somme. My Mother donated his medals to the NF's museum, in Alnwick Castle.
my grandfather born in 1885 served in WW1 I have a medal he received for his service. Grampa passed in 1986 at 101 years old. I'm determined to get older than him before I kick the bucket LOL, so my bucket list has turning 102 on it
Douglas Dobson what would cause bottoms of both feet to hurt and top of feetbswollen
My great uncle was also in the 21st Batt. Northumberland Fusiliers, he was MIA 5th June 1917 and is commemorated on the Arras Memorial. R.H.V. Hoskings R.I.P.

What a wonderful gesture. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
One selfless artist. Music industry need more like him.
tell that to the musicians who worked FOR him...as employees.
@@99beatmonster They can always find other work. The music biz is just like any other. I'm talking talent and art. Life is not about anything other than happiness. If a person is not happy with their work, they should find something that they can take joy in.
@Andrew Sykes true buddy.
Bizarre comment. Hes a fucking millionaire
@Indianawill1 Your the one that makes no since. your replying to the wrong person. Set down, roll one and read the whole post. You know, like from the very first reply.
Mark we thank you for that awesome rendition and we thank all those service men and women who fought and died for our great country. You are truly one of the greatest guitarist ever. 👍👍👍❤️
Lest we forget! Thank you Mark Knopfler.

This moved me today , I wish there was a tab for it
He did it justice,however to an ex Military man and the veteran of 54 Anzac Days nothing is as soulful as the Bugle
ruclips.net/video/McCDWYgVyps/видео.html - for you Sir!
I don't think Mark plays the bugle
@@connellylawcoprusjuris4408 Apparently he Blows His Own Trumpet though........
@@crash1raf When you're that talented, you can.
I'm a former Canadian military musician. While I agree with you, I also always think about the audience. This rendition reaches many people who wouldn't respond to a bugle call, but can certainly relate to guitar music. In the same way that there is great American patriotism behind Jimi Hendrix's version of The Star Spangled Banner. And if the version on guitar reaches the minds of more people, that is a good thing. Thanks for your service. Remember.
" Nobody does it better " ! The man is a true phenomena !
What a legend Mark Knopfler is. That rendition of The Last Post is just simply amazing. Love that interpretation of a well known Remembrance Sunday piece. Lest we forget.
@reality check what are you taking?...Crazy Moron!
@reality check It's single notes on an electric.. it's meant to be different

I've been playing guitar for over 40 years, and Mark is my favorite guitarist, the man is a genius. As former military as well, I deeply appreciate his skill and his tribute here.

The Last Post,possibly the most moving and emotional sound of all. It conveys grief,respect,and hope,all in a few moments of self evaluation,and determination to do better for oneself and everyone around you. Gratitude,and Farewell to those no longer with us. We will try to make your sacrifice meaningful and memorable. R.I.P.
Mark. Over here in the states we all love you.
In a vase beside my bed, stands alone a poppy red.
Made by hand with love and care, to remember those no longer there. Strangers though they were to me, they gave their lives to keep us free. With this in mind as I lay in bed, I'll always remember the glorious dead.
Martin Walker lovely verse Martin.
Very moving ❤️
What is the title of that poem?
@@idleonlooker1078 It's just "Poppy Red". I wrote it after I'd been to see the poppy exhibition at the Tower of London a few years ago. I was fortunate to receive one of the hand made poppies from the exhibition as a birthday present from my wife. That stands at the side of my bed.
@@martinwalker3497 Thank you so much, it is a very poignant piece of poetry: thank you for sharing it. Also I must say how lovely that poppy is: a reminder of those fallen, but also, as a treasured gift from your wife. All the best! 😊👍
This was a great honor to hear him play , Mark is an artist that taught himself how to play a guitar. He was outstanding with Dire Straits especially on the Brothers in Arms album, it's the music that comes from the the heart. From a military veteran.....thank you brother 👍😉✌
Yup

He's self-taught? An amazing man.
I could not imagine this heart-rending call played on anything but bugle, but if anyone could do it Knopfler could. He did!
Keith Urban also does it!
This is good, but I do believe it sounds better when played by a "trumpet playing band."
@@TheLonghornDad Yes that is probably right but that is what you are used to hearing?
@@happyolddude I think TheLonghornDad is referring to the lyrics from Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits 🙂
@@TheLonghornDad Well Harry doesn't mind
I could see the passion in his eyes
The Last Post is associated with so much pain and loss for me, it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it even in public and at remembrance services. Some pain runs too deep it will never heal, all we can hope is to manage and live on where others have fallen, Many today don't know or understand the price of peace, I hope they never need to learn.
thank you sir
As an ex-military man I have heard the Last Post many times. This is by far the best.
Mark is a genius. His guitar skills and compassion know no bounds. Rock on brother.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Nor the years condemn must affect Vietnam veterans... Shame on us for forgetting their sacrifice.
Lest We Forget.
I used to give this promise at the end of our Toc H meetings years ago,after pronouncing the word LIGHT!
And they met the kharma of mass murderers....fuck thr queen
Ok...bravery. Thats one side of the Medaille. The other side is a big wy.
Real. Honest. The way he always is.
Mark's music does exactly what music should; it evokes emotion. At the funerals of my daughter and son, the theme from 'Local Hero' was played. No other tune - or musician - can bring out the feeling of 'coming home' so perfectly.
This man continues to amaze me...
That sound, that voice, that tribute, as efficient as it gets
Best guitarist ever bar none and there is a hell of a lot of them.
I agree completely. . . with an honorable mention to Buckethead (an instrumental solo guitarist who leaves me breathless). Next time you are surfing the web and want some background music put his tracks "Aunt Susie" and "Soothsayer" on -- be curious to know what you thought.
@@brucefreadrich1188 Will have a look thanks for that.Would give my right arm to play like Knophler or even Chuck Berry.Then again wouldnt be able to play one handed would i?
@@richardtodd6181 And you'd have no hands if you played with both
that bar may be debated for years... though this is a special presence and perfect play by MK, its perfect...
Thank you - respect, for both your talent and those who fell in any war.
Only Knopfler's touch gets this. Its chilling.
Lovely tribute. Made it all about the integrity of the last post and not about him. Shows the measure of the man. RIP Fusiliers

In 2016 I toured Flanders Fields and the battlefields and cemeteries surrounding Ypres, Belgium. Anyone with a sense of history must do this.
I thought this deserved a bump.
Good on you, Mark! They will never be forgotten.
Thank you
RIP 46193 L/CPL Wheble SW, 1/4Bn Northumberland Fusiliers, KIA 09/04/1918
I will place a Poppy Cross with his name when I visit the Ploegsteert Memorial next ime.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
My Grandfather was at the Somme, not as a fusilier but as an artillery teamster for the U.S. army... Thank you for this.
His Brothers In Arms is part of my Remembrance Day every year
Very moving to hear that great track
Brothers in arms is one off my favorite songs...
Amazing piece off music,amazing lyrics...
I've listened to Brothers in Arms over and over. The movie We Were Soldiers has a song in Scottish translated into English. Viet Nam.
I play to remember my mates in the Falklands ... lost three :-(
Same here. Was involved in the Falklands, ex RN. Lost a few oppos.
Very moving so many lost in that Terrible war.
Thank you so much Mr. Mark Freuder Knopler. While my great grandfather fought in both of the Boer Wars for his Queen (Victoria), he was a Geordie, and I generously accept your show of appreciation for all of GB's war vets. Wonderfully and respectfully done. And here I am, 55 years a Yank now. But GB is were it all began for me. Thank you once more.
Genuinely good thanks Mark.
I had to play this on a bugle at sunset, when the ensign was being lowered at my school, on a square rigger! I am from Northumberland, my mate John Sharp went to school with the Knopfler brothers.
Just beautiful moved me to tears.🇬🇧
This is a master at his craft few guitarists could match him
Thank you Mark.......You can see the emotion in His Face and fighting back the tears....
Played as a tribute to every serviceman and woman who gave their lives for their country in all wars and battles since time began. Mark played with true feelings. Thank you.

A rocker who is also a patriot. While I am an American, I say well done, mate!
Joseph Van you’ve clearly missed the point here...
@@klasdykhoff8422 well, don't keep us in suspense.
Veteran as well, that you for remembering Brothers at Arms, I salute you Sir
I’m lost for words - truly stunning
Wow...powerful, heartfelt and performed beautifully by a true craftsman of his art.
He’s amazing , so glad to see them when they toured down here all those years ago , it was at the Sydney entertainment centre 1984 ? The Straits were awesome 👏
I am Turkish my grand grand dad fought against the Anzacs in Gallipoli. Great performance Mr. Knopfler you are a real master.
I have been so lucky through my life, the amazing musicians, that I have been able to listen to, Alive... I have been so lucky, to experience Dire Straights Live, Mark knopfler, acoustic live, We are so lucky to have been alive in a world of enlightenment
Ive seen Mark 13 times twice as dire straits, certain end solos has left me in tears, he's a genius 👴🏼 🎸 mk
Well into my 70's now, but everytime I hear this played, I want to stand and salute. Amazing how programmed we are in the military.
Never forget what these people did for us
The most Underrated Guitarist of All time.
I'm sure the Northumberland Fusiliers would have liked this!
Re the Northumberland Fusilers. Do you have information about them?
@@davidnicholls3598 www.forces-war-records.co.uk/units/278/northumberland-fusiliers
One of the greatest musicians of all time
Thank you Mark. Moving and focused. Your finger picking technique really suits this tune. Impeccable tone, heart rending sustain and pacing, a perfect ringing reverb that evokes the bugle resonating in a square or stadium. The way you used a slide up to the last note was an especially perfect touch. Frankly I didn’t think this could be pulled off. (Sorry that wasn’t supposed to be a joke!)
WOW!! brothers in arms!!!Lest we forget!
I attended my local remembrance service for the first time in many years. I’ve never had to fight for my country but found it incredibly moving. As ever, Mark hits the spot.

So touching by the best guitarist ever on earth . Vermont loves you !
First time I have heard the Last Post played on anything but a bugle
There is a version on You Tube played by a lady on the violin which is pretty neat
Touching my sensitive good hearted Mark!!🌹
Thanks man!!!! Time waits for no one,,,,, and You're Timeless.....
Thanks Mark. My dad was a WW2 vet, and I spent many years in RSL clubs as an employee. It means so much to so many.
Mine too.

Hopefully we never see another Anzac Day like 2020. Even though we remembered our fallen and heroes quietly I feel it was missing so much more.
My grand dad and his brother were in the Northumberland fussilliers, unfortunately only gramps survived the Great war but I still have his service medal and very large bronze penny. Thanks Mark K :)
Beautiful - so appropriate & relevant for the difficult times we’re going through.

Beautiful, very moving. Thank you Mark Knopfler. Lest we forget.
Love the rug he's sitting on makes the sound reverberate great haunting atmosphere from mark knophler !
Just asking - Why do you ascribe the reverberation to the rug? Where I come from, we use rugs in the studio to _mitigate_ echo.
great tribute to all those who have fallen who are now in the arms of our Lord. we will remember them Amen
Very beautiful and soulful version. It looked like at the end Mark was starting to tear up a little bit. He definitely put his heart into it and did a great honor to the Northumberland Fusiliers. Heartwarming and reverent. God bless him and all the brave men and women who gave up everything for our freedom.
Love Dire Straits. Mark's Steel Guitar.wow.
A man and artist of the highest caliber.
MK is as beautiful a person as he is a musician--and, man, that's saying a lot.
With tears in my I eyes I post this message such a lovely and fitting tribute played the world's greatest guitar player rip the fallen never forgotten
That was amazing and done with such reverence and thought. Well done Mark.
Thank you. Lest we forget.
Thank you Mark,another amazing performance from an amazing guitarist.
So simple, So powerful. Lest we forget.
Well done Mark,you've shown your greats skills and compassion here.
Wow... very emotional, superb twist
Just love this and what an absolutely amazing looking guitar. Mark Knopfler is just pure genius though so what else do you expect!
Beautiful rendition from a great guitarist. Lest We Forget.
