It was the best music, I think, will ever be. They had true talent. Now they let some board make the music. I have tinnitus (ringing ears) and I'm going deaf, but I probably would have anyway. I'd rather believe it's from all of the great loud music I danced to.😊
When you produce a sound this good, it crosses continents races and generations. People who live well after I die will enjoy this just as much. That's the power of a class band.

My dad took us for a summer camp in 1994 when me and my brother were 11-12 years old and we drove from Newcastle in the UK to Blackpool, then Wales and then to London and he played this song constantly, arguably the best summer of my life. Now whenever I hear it, I think of that trip.
@@abhinandanghosh2028 realize it’s classic. . Missing the point !!!!! A lot of modern music is noise pollution with no heart♥️ and Soul . It’s produced by computers and not good quality musicians!!!! Like it used to👍😀😆🤪😜

It's my favourite song of all time and I have never been able to analyse it like you have just done. Thank you. By the way (and I know your answer to this) does it really really hack you off when DJ's and anyone else playing this song (including people uploading it to youtube) fade it out way way too early?
And why can't they get the recording so it doesn't speed up and slow down about 2:40 into the vid?? Surely, the band has access to a better audio version.
@@kevinbroad-r8pI think alot of us have sort of realized that now, atleast to some degree. Im 20 now and it feels like i was 16 last month... Time is flying. 🙏🏻😓

Am a grown man these days but miss my father every day - we played this song at his funeral. I take so much comfort in reading comments & remembering good times & knowing there’s others out there who have the same feelings for this song & for their father. Peace out & love to all. 🙏

I can't get over how great of a guitar player Mark Knopfler is, it's second nature to him, like the guitar is a part of his body. Incredible to witness.

@@davidhurtado2725 I've listened hundreds of times to this song since 1982. It's great- one of my favorites. Just sayin what you're seeing in this video was not recorded at the same time as what you're hearing.
There is a difference between being able to play an instrument, and being able to make it instrument sing. Mark is one of the few that can bring out their voice.
There's a reason Fender came out with a Signature Strat for Mark. His sound is unique. He originally taped switches in the middle of their normal maintained positions to create that sound. He's a true virtuoso.

What about the sound guys the roadies the people who built the amps the engineers the luthiers the miners who got the metal the lumberjacks, Pythagoreas, and what about the cavemen who first played their bow as a harp why don't those people ever get credit either. That's what I'm wondering.
Excellent guitar play accompanied by an excellent bassline that you can hear punch through the mix. There really isn't anything to dislike about the song.
@@t.m.1502 Eternal Music!!! Mark Knopfler plays with the guitar. He is unique!! Please, if you can visit the channel and subscribe if you like it, it will help me a lot. Thanks
Long time no hear! Grew up in the 60-70’s. I protested the war until a friend died, never protested again. I ended up joining the military madness (Air Force) in 1974 & stayed for 20 years. I still lost friends, but it is what it is. Now it’s Dec.2024. I copped out & joined the establishment. Life is good. Peace & Love to everyone that grew up in those turbulent years. The best part was the sex, drugs & rock-n-roll. Peace & Love, Daniel
search up john butler funky tonight... he's got bloody talent no offence to mark he's a great guitarist but he is only playing chords when he is singing
The problem with singing and playing is not about the chords, it's all abouth RYTHM. The right hand is what matters. If you pay attention, John Butler is always fingering a fast and repeated pattern when he's singing, except for a slower riff at some point. Nothing different than what Mark Knopfler is doing. They're both great musicians. Talent? I'd say it's more about practice till perfection. Also, Mark is left-handed but his right hand is incredible. Peace.
I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance of ON EVERY STREET in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
This band is absolutely amazing. I'm 62 and have heard it all. But this music goes straight through to the soul. Every note and every beat is crisp and fresh. My new favorite band.
@@andymatthews7617 Well. I'm 83 and back in the 60's we used to go to the Blue moon Hotel in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa every Friday night and they had live bands playing the latest rock songs..............by 12 midnight we would be so high with the music (no drugs etc then) we'd head into Cape Town to an all night night club and twist the night till dawn......I'm gonna live forever.......
In 1987, red lion pub Anlaby, east yorkshire this song was on the old jukebox constantly. It was played so much it actually wore the record out. I get whisked back to a happy time when I hear it. Brilliant song.
@@GoulashKroket glad to know someone noticed it, my guesses are either because the video is a bit old or Knopfler on the filming of the clip sped up on his playing so they've got to compensate in the editing
I remember hearing this song on the radio that my sister was listening to, back around the winter of 79. I was around 4 or 5, and I remember this song vividly. Lots of bittersweet memories…
Couldn't agree with you more! This is a classic and should be heard at least once by the future generation. I heard it the first time years before and it didn't click with me then, but now I couldn't get it out of my head now.
This is one of those songs where I can remember exactly where I was the 1st time I heard it back in 1978. And it still brings back fond memories. I went out the next day to buy their album. Yes album.
Knopfler's style of finger picking is in a LEAGUE of its own. Legendary. Super nice guy too. Very humble, but one HELLUVA musician. Could listen to him play all day long.
Technically that “Nashville” style of voicing chords and coloring solos was manifested by none other than the master, Chet Atkins. Mark’s guitar hero. With the exceptions of Andres Segovia, David Lindley and perhaps Chets’ student, Jerry Reed, none come close. I prefer Marks’ work over the rest because of the era I came of age. Rock on!
@@stankyfinger62857 you need to check out the cd “Sails” if you don’t already have it. A Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler masterpiece. Two amazing guitarists.
@@rayflanagan9970 Listen carefully to 'Brown eyed handsome man', by Buddy Holly and you'll hear a similar, short riff. Which is why, given all the other first that Holly achieved, I believe he was the true father of modern 'rock and roll'. Paul McCartney stated that without Holly, NO BEATLES!
Sachez que si un jour vous avez des idées noires, vous avez fait énormément de bien avec vos mélodies qui sont exquise a mes oreilles et qui me redonnent le moral en les entendants, puisse t elle rester a jamais dans la mémoire collective comme une oeuvre d art !!!
I'd like to have the words to make a description for this music,but is impossible. The rhythms of guitars is so harmonic.And I love so much how this song can make me feel cheerful.
Exactly what I feel about this song! Today it came to my mind and wouldn't go away so I started singing it and it made my freaking day. I even got shivers on my spine just from humming the guitar solo :)
For years I've been complaining how radio stations keep cutting of the last solo on this track so I never get to hear the best part of this absolutely brilliant track - and now I find out DireStraitsVEVO does the same?! WTF? This track is missing the final (and best) minute - why on earth would you cut that off? The song was too awesome intact?
Lost my father to covid- he raised me to all this iconic music. It’s almost march 2024 and I still listen to every song. Brings me so much happiness and makes me feel closer to my daddy cool
Never get tired of hearing this song, sometimes I listen to it 2,3,4 times in a row. They are the sultans of swing. Dire Straits for dire times sooths the heart.

What about the sound guys the roadies the people who built the amps the engineers the luthiers the miners who got the metal the lumberjacks, Pythagoreas, and what about the cavemen who first played their bow as a harp why don't those people ever get credit either. That's what I'm wondering.
The guys a natural. Love watching him play
As I become older the more i appreciate this song, calling it a masterpiece would be an understatement
1000% in agreement with you and 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍....and going on...
Fantastic!!! I fully agree
Excellent guitar play accompanied by an excellent bassline that you can hear punch through the mix.
There really isn't anything to dislike about the song.
@@t.m.1502 Eternal Music!!! Mark Knopfler plays with the guitar. He is unique!! Please, if you can visit the channel and subscribe if you like it, it will help me a lot. Thanks
It was the eighties I was there and it's mark knoffler
I never get tired of Dire Straits. Such excellent guitar work. 😊
It was all Mark Knopfler
And that iconic voice!!
@@darcymullins8420UNREAL IT'S SO GOOD.
I swear, every note, every syllable, the rhythm, the feel... its just perfect in every way. This is the best song ever. Period
Look up Kfir Ochaion. He does a few versions of this.

Long time no hear! Grew up in the 60-70’s. I protested the war until a friend died, never protested again. I ended up joining the military madness (Air Force) in 1974 & stayed for 20 years. I still lost friends, but it is what it is. Now it’s Dec.2024. I copped out & joined the establishment. Life is good. Peace & Love to everyone that grew up in those turbulent years. The best part was the sex, drugs & rock-n-roll.
Peace & Love, Daniel
2024 and still one of the best guitar tracks ever written
as a guitarist i can confirm :)
@@everybodypomarancze9355 I play too - this was to tough for me tho
not everyone can play guitar AND sing like that, mark has a talent
search up john butler funky tonight... he's got bloody talent
no offence to mark he's a great guitarist but he is only playing chords when he is singing
The problem with singing and playing is not about the chords, it's all abouth RYTHM.
The right hand is what matters.
If you pay attention, John Butler is always fingering a fast and repeated pattern when he's singing, except for a slower riff at some point. Nothing different than what Mark Knopfler is doing. They're both great musicians. Talent? I'd say it's more about practice till perfection.
Also, Mark is left-handed but his right hand is incredible.
Peace.
Ethan Tomlinson I don't think you understand how hard sultans of swing is to play
Ethan Tomlinson why I am allowed to say that
Ethan Tomlinson why I am allowed to say that
First time I heard this song when I was 18, high school 1989, now I am 51 but still love this song.... amazing.
I wonder why they named it "high school" 🤣🤣🤣
Simplesmente linda ❤️🤩💕💕
Das geht mir genauso. Ein richtig gutes Lied das man immer wieder hören kann.
Next to Stevie Ray !
Oh no…time flies,in our 50s but the music remains golden as it was.The sounds of the guitars a classic.
Lovely blend of rock, blues and funk. And profound talent.
Mark Knopfler... easily one of the greatest to have ever picked up a guitar!!
He just doesn't make a mistake does he. Brilliant.
I highly oppose it..
I no American im brazilian
His playing is just magical.
@@anuvhabbasu3068 what do you oppose?
I love how they're so relaxed, really enjoying what they are doing.. I will never tire of this song.
I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance of ON EVERY STREET in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
The magic of grass
They're relaxed because they're not actually playing. They are syncing to the studio recording.
Practice, no ego and trust in each other my friend!
This band is absolutely amazing. I'm 62 and have heard it all. But this music goes straight through to the soul. Every note and every beat is crisp and fresh. My new favorite band.
I support my generation!
I'm also 62, WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC EVER.
Yeah and if you watch the video it too will become a favorite ..the band is great..the more you listen the more you'll like
@@andymatthews7617 Well. I'm 83 and back in the 60's we used to go to the Blue moon Hotel in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa every Friday night and they had live bands playing the latest rock songs..............by 12 midnight we would be so high with the music (no drugs etc then) we'd head into Cape Town to an all night night club and twist the night till dawn......I'm gonna live forever.......
@@gangleweed Great memories, hope you've got good health, keep on rockin, and stay safe.😊
O solo de guitarra mais épico da história do Rock. Eu particularmente não me canso de ouvir e viajar nesse som maravilhoso.
I learned today that sultans of swing was played without a pick, what a beast the guitarist is.
His name is Mark Knopfler.
@Parris ofTroy I mean, i know it's just personal preference but i would put Page above all those guys, and slash wouldn't even make the list
@@jasoneverett put SRV too
@@riturajpathak1905 And what's about David?
Mark Knopfler is a fingerpicking Genius.
It’s wild how fresh and current the song still sounds. I’ve been listening to it for 20 years and I still never get sick of it.
Me too 😃👍
Listening in 2023. Awesome
@@junevanstaden7288 just found the song a week ago, loving it
Me too friend 30 yrs
Ive been listening 35 years and it never gets old. Much better than the garbage today.
I'm 82yrs and still jivin' to this legendary tune.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Keep it up
Hi, I'm 58 and I was 12 when I first heard it. I've been a Mark fan ever since!
I am 67 years old and I still love it
Swing on, Vern!
Желаю вспомнить этот момент в 102, дядя!
In 1987, red lion pub Anlaby, east yorkshire this song was on the old jukebox constantly. It was played so much it actually wore the record out. I get whisked back to a happy time when I hear it. Brilliant song.
No pick. No distortion. Just a whole lotta soul and brilliance.
Sim maravilhosos.❤❤❤❤
the style of picking, he is one of the best! Pure & natural.❤❤❤
something weird happens at 2:37 tho, its like they speed it up
@@GoulashKroket glad to know someone noticed it, my guesses are either because the video is a bit old or Knopfler on the filming of the clip sped up on his playing so they've got to compensate in the editing
@@GoulashKroket - Noticed that too, probably a video encoding issue.
It's as if it was recorded yesterday, it's completely timeless.
Mark is one of the greatest guitarist of all times. Still rocks all over the world
Got a new album coming soon!
Still Loving the old stuff
This has to be one of the coolest songs ever created. There's just something about it that's magical and will never go out of style.
Magic❤❤❤❤❤
Use to blast the tune in my new 79 TA
@@frankschiavone4557 hello past human. i am blasting this in the hallway of the starship, the sultan.

I was listening to this in 78 when it was on the radio. I'm 71 now and still in Love with it!
Me too 71' !
Moving on with my morning Ishialgya pain !
But only in the early spring.
When it gets warmer I am OK .
Esses caras tinham uma pegada boa de guitarra... Não entendeu! Aciona o tradutor kk Hasta la vista baby.. Calm my back no spinking inglês
I’m 75 and still love it
I’m 19 and I love this 🔥❤️❤️❤️
Im only 18 and this is my favorite song right now.
There's something about this song... I don't want it to end.
It's a masterpiece, nothing I have heard quite captures exactly what I feel like when I listen to it
captivating,, I am 50 years old now...you wouldn't believe the feelings we get when the track was first realesed in my younger years.
I'm envious of that.
Seldom do I have that feeling for songs released nowadays.
Classic rock seems to still be the best genre.
Just swing.
You are a person of class
Those guys never sleep ~ They just hustle the money ~ Great band that I hope survived the test of time - stay alive :)
I remember hearing this song on the radio that my sister was listening to, back around the winter of 79. I was around 4 or 5, and I remember this song vividly. Lots of bittersweet memories…

Like who would say he looks like a musician lol
Looks like normal man walking down the streets
Of course, I only thumbed you up because you looked like a mate ì knew I last seen twenty years ago
Cara, que comentário foda ❤
Couldn't agree with you more! This is a classic and should be heard at least once by the future generation. I heard it the first time years before and it didn't click with me then, but now I couldn't get it out of my head now.

One of the best songs ever written. Much more Knopfler is self taught and with no training. Incredible.
This is one of those songs where I can remember exactly where I was the 1st time I heard it back in 1978. And it still brings back fond memories. I went out the next day to buy their album. Yes album.
A good buy!!!
Me too! Saw them on Top of the Pops and was mesmerized.
It was great to grow up during that time it will never be like that way either
What’s an album?…, Gen Z here….
@@wealthintruth6227 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knopfler's style of finger picking is in a LEAGUE of its own. Legendary. Super nice guy too. Very humble, but one HELLUVA musician. Could listen to him play all day long.
Technically that “Nashville” style of voicing chords and coloring solos was manifested by none other than the master, Chet Atkins. Mark’s guitar hero. With the exceptions of Andres Segovia, David Lindley and perhaps Chets’ student, Jerry Reed, none come close. I prefer Marks’ work over the rest because of the era I came of age. Rock on!
@@stankyfinger62857 you need to check out the cd “Sails” if you don’t already have it. A Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler masterpiece. Two amazing guitarists.
GREAT COMMENT RAY.

@@rayflanagan9970 Listen carefully to 'Brown eyed handsome man', by Buddy Holly and you'll hear a similar, short riff. Which is why, given all the other first that Holly achieved, I believe he was the true father of modern 'rock and roll'. Paul McCartney stated that without Holly, NO BEATLES!
I’m 84 and play this constantly.
I'm a guitarist I've played this song with my brother though my bro was the lead guitarist
Oh my uncle is 84s too but he is in his wheelchair

Exactly what I feel about this song! Today it came to my mind and wouldn't go away so I started singing it and it made my freaking day. I even got shivers on my spine just from humming the guitar solo :)
I know how is it.Today I was sad, and singing this song helped me a lot..

What?
Totally!
For years I've been complaining how radio stations keep cutting of the last solo on this track so I never get to hear the best part of this absolutely brilliant track - and now I find out DireStraitsVEVO does the same?! WTF? This track is missing the final (and best) minute - why on earth would you cut that off? The song was too awesome intact?
Because the videos are not uploaded with the enjoyment of listeners in mind. Pretty stupid.
Yeah, but still. It would've required extra effort to create this incomplete and inferior version. Why go to the trouble?
Calle Söderberg Yeah that's weird. I also noticed some of the riffs are a bit off tone.
Absolutely and completely agree Calle
The prodigy
This totally deserves the insane number of views it has received. A timeless classic that with echo throughout the ages, no doubt.
Lost my father to covid- he raised me to all this iconic music. It’s almost march 2024 and I still listen to every song. Brings me so much happiness and makes me feel closer to my daddy cool

Never get tired of hearing this song, sometimes I listen to it 2,3,4 times in a row. They are the sultans of swing. Dire Straits for dire times sooths the heart.
