John's bass is soooo vital in this song. Nobody is saying that. It gives a lot of groove to this masterpiece in the record (like in six blade knife and in the gallery). John simply deserves more credit.
I have loved Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler (I am also a fan of Mark's solo work), since the beginning: That said, I appreciate the guys even more, and am even more enthralled than ever, as a matured (and trained) musician, writer and poet. Furthermore, now that I am in the final stages of a terminal illness, I find that rewatching these videos of their performances is one of the very few things that makes me feel truly happy and alive in the moment (in addition to the nostalgia and artistic appreciation, I suspect it also has something to do with the dopamine, adrenaline, serotonin and / or endorphins that are released as a result). Thank you guys, for the decades of amazing performances, musicianship and engaging lyrics... and for playing me off the stage of life these days, as it were. 😉🙏💙
Not only was the guitar solo one of the best ever, the whole group was in union with each other thru the whole song ,the drummer was fantastic. Applause!!
I always remember Dire Straits for Sultans and the Money for Nothing video. Then I discovered this version on a reaction video about two months ago and have listened to it five times a day ever since. Pure musical perfection.
Dire Straits were probably one of the best bands at changing volume and tempo repeatedly throughout a song and bringing out every subtle nuance in their performance. This is what live performances should be like. Even if you're not a musician, there's something that everyone can take out of seeing and hearing something unique. It also allows the players to avoid being overcome with boredom -- playing the song the same every night. It does, however, require that the band have that deep connection and know how to play together, and play off of each other. This is a clinic in how to do that. Utter brilliance!
Loved Dire Straits but just in the last few months I have realised how insanely good this Alchemy version of Sultains of Swing is. The best live version of a tune ever with all band members giving their all except the drummer who was nuts!!
When I hear the studio version I start to think that live music is the actual life lived and worshipped and studio version is a sad compromise that we think we have to settle for because the Devil told us utopia is a stupid idea.
@@olderuglierandwiser Can confirm. The other day a drummer claimed indifference is the opposite of love. A preacher eventually repeated it. What is becoming of the world if people are losing understanding of the nature of fear? Well, THAT drummer knows love intimately!
So much joy and giving in their performance ! They are all great guys playing together and they like the audience . Great professionals ! Love from France ❤ 😍
Man I'm stunned, lost count how many time I watched already . This was an absolute nirvana shot. God bless dire straits and the bliss that comes from marks guitar.
This has been my favorite for as long as I can remember. This live performance is beyond being awesome. What's sad is everyone aging and things no longer like they used to be. This music keeps me young... Thank you Dire Straits and thank you RUclips...
I somehow missed this first time around. It's become a regular now. All the stars lined up that night. A remarkable, majestic performance. One for the ages...
It is so beautiful to watch how Knopfler didn't become cocky as the lead who makes the band, but he so joyfully delights in seeing his band mates enable him and him enabling his band mates. This true expression of joy is what captivates me. He is unwittingly honoring some high spiritual principles and thereby inspires a good way. I guess "based" is the modern word of compliment for that.
This was a masterclass in how to put it all together with top tier artists, all to make the music that we love. I doubt it could have been done better.
I still remember celebrating my 18th birthday (self treated) at their concert in Melbourne in 1983. Skipped last class in Year 12 just for their concert. They played this song of course, about almost as good as this version. I still remember that like it was yesterday.
So blessed to have been there. Alchemy is my most loved album (double CD) since 1983. Now I am age 73.5 and this is still my all time fav. This album 'sends me'. God bless Mark. What a masterpiece and piece of magic. It will live forever. :)
I'm 67, and the version of this song gets me rockin. Incredible performance. They are the "Sultan's" Don't hear stuff like this anymore. Incredible musicians! All of them!!
This is one of the finest live recordings there is. Knopfler is obviously something else on this, but it's the rhythm section of Hal Lindes, Terry Williams and John Illsley that create the foundation for this version to be as good as it is.
C'est vrai, dire straits est un groupe, le groupe de pop/rock de ts ls tps. Merci à toi, Mark de ns faire vivre et revivre de tels instants. La génération actuelle devrait prendre modèle sur ce groupe. mythique.
@@theakwrdguy2449 for me it's wrong I saw, and I see many bands, different than dire strait , but making great, fantastic ! live performances , Live Music will never die...
@@francksoulat It's pretty easy to say the more close to soberness artists are, the best they perform on stage. No member of Deep Purple was alloid on stage if he wasn't sober for example, there was a time for the job and time to party once the job done.
The drummer, Terry Williams, is the best drummer I have ever heard. He literally sets the tempo for this cut and without him Dire Straits would only be half of what they are here. The people filming this agree due to the amount of time they spend cutting to him, something rarely done in videos. I love listening to perfection.
Got to be one of the greatest performances in the history of performing! Amazing musicians, all of them. Glad to see (in the comments) Terry Williams getting credit where it’s very much due. If you have time, watch the documentary about him. Such a lovely, down to earth guy. I don’t think I can say anything about Marl Knopfler that’s not already (rightly) been said. Amazing performance.
Dire Straights - one of the worlds best bands and Mark Knoffler, you are one of the worlds best guitarists ever! Another great performance from great musicians
Ive been listening to this version since i was about 15( 30 years now and hundreds of times) and i still get goose bumps everytime. Surely one of the greatest solo's of all time, although its a full band effort. Just an amazing piece of music
As someone who's born in the 90's, I listen to Sultans every day before work. It's like my priming song. Sometimes I feel I missed the greatest era of music, but RUclips makes it possible to appreciate great performances like this one
Early Dire even just on CD is awesome. Drummer I took for granted all these years. First album was the best for me, Brothers In Arms later classic. I dont know all those music type terms I just know its special. What I grew up listening too, I will leave listening too, kids today don't know Jack!!!
@@hsvgts4349 Never been one to really give the drummers a lot of credit other than in solos, but this dude totally drove that song from front to back, kudos for the rest of the band for keeping up with him, you could even see Knopfler looking back and smiling several times!
The way the drummer goes mental, and the reaction of the rest of the band... Best version of this song, one of the best performances ever in my opinion.
Actually an amazing performance, one of the best ever in the history of Music. Terry Williams fantastic drummer, all the band follows him and he dialogues perfectly. Did you listen to that astonishing fill at 2,30??? Mark and John looking to Terry laughing surprised for his performance!!! Fantastic!!! Never tired to listen and watch to this video!!!
He's so young still and he's mastered his craft! One of if not the best musicians of all time! Some other guy said this live version of Sultans gives him goosebumps. Yup! I'm in awe. To be at this show must've been a truly life changing experience. He's a national treasure.
I've been a huge fan of Dire Straits for years and what I think makes them a fantastic band is they are all individually great musicians in their own right. Of course Mark continues to have great solo career
I played in a band in my mid 30’s and this song describes how it feels. No matter what’s really happening, when you’re on that stage it doesn’t matter if there’s 10 people or 10,000 in that crowd, something else takes over and it’s an amazing feeling.
I love the fact that you can see tons of different languages in the comments section. Makes me think how music is universal and touches different people from different cultures. Awesome! Great song and great performance!
I have watched and listened to this piece hundreds of times (maybe a thousand) and still get goosebumps. To me it’s simply the best live performance from all involved I have ever witnessed. Everything in complete sync, and Williams on drums the icing on the cake! You knew you were going to get a great mark knopfler but it’s everybody. To this day I’m so blown away by this production, and I’m 69 years old. Absolute PERFECTION.
Whenever I listen to this song I can not really tell who plays better, all did an amazing job. Terry Williams, the drummer, plays at heaven level, not to talk about Mark.
Amore mio yu sei la mia vita... e sto impazzendo perché voglio vedere i tui splendidi occhi che mi fanno andare BMW in tilt. E vado ha 3000 Ti Amo♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️♥️♥️💚♥️💋💋SenzA di te non posso piu stare cto diventando matto
Wanted to leave a comment but I’m still speechless. What a banger of a performance. They’re absolutely ripping through the solos at an insane pace, what an absolute joy to listen to world class musicians performing at their best. That was Fing good
There are nights in the life of every band when everything just works...all the musicians are on top of their game & everything comes together perfectly...this is one of those nights!
Seriously this. I mean, Mark is awesome no doubt, but every single one of the band is giving it their all. The drummer is on fire, they're having fun on stage..everything just works. 💯👌🏻Seriously wish I was there.
Well put..I think a Rock Symphony like this classic if we can call it that is much harder to pull off given the blistering pace and the all too high probability of messing it up so easily and just once..may be a better trained ear can spot some minor inaccuracies in the workmanship here but to the average fan, this is just flawless. And doing it live on stage with no chance for a do over or re recording is just icing on the cake...how supremely talented they are individually and collectively !!
Hear, hear stewartmac1. I'm an old London rock chick, veteran of so many live gigs. This one was special back in the day and 40+ years on is still bloody special. Mind you, I never went to a gig at Hammersmith Odeon that wasn't special. xxx
Dire Straits is one of those rare groups where I like their live versions even better than the excellent recorded versions. Here, for instance, the drummer really let's her rip, and Mark Knopfler shines on the guitar.
the best performance ever of sultans of swing, incredible union of all the band together, guitar drums and vocals, the best ever without doubts, hall of fame for mark, thanks bro
this song is the best of DS...and the best performance ever from all the band members...specially from Mark. What a great guitar solos...what a display …what a performance. Heard this song thousands of million times....and I will until the end. Superb! Amazing!

The drummer is incredible. Unbelievable how he is banging the drums
like a chimpanzee. . .

Terry Williams one of the best drummers ever, so fast, so concise and the timing is always perfect.
Love this song...Knophfler is amazing but....drummer has it! Terri Williams!!!!
The way every beat or bass kick just lands perfectly is ffcking awesome!
I am 67 always loved the guitars and drums with these Dire Staits boys of the band
Age is immaterial I'm only 65

Incredible version of this song. The whole band was on fire!
😊
And they were playingTOGETHER not trying to prove something against each other. The way they looked at each other and smiled.
There is no better version on net.
5:02 is the funkiest lick ever, and Mark knows it.
I love the fact that you can see tons of different languages in the comments section. Makes me think how music is universal and touches different people from different cultures. Awesome! Great song and great performance!
Agree. Great comment. And not a beg.

10:46 minutes of perfection from every performer.

I have watched and listened to this piece hundreds of times (maybe a thousand) and still get goosebumps. To me it’s simply the best live performance from all involved I have ever witnessed. Everything in complete sync, and Williams on drums the icing on the cake! You knew you were going to get a great mark knopfler but it’s everybody.
To this day I’m so blown away by this production, and I’m 69 years old.
Absolute PERFECTION.
I agree, this song is the best thing that ever happened to me. I actually like more the live performance one than the original.
The icing on the cake to some.. bit in reality he is more akin to the forces of gravity that drive the crashing of waves onto the shore 🍺🥁
Same here😁😍
Same here. same age. And I agree. I listen to this version all the time. Peace out Dude
Same here,55,greetings from Greece
Guitar George is killing it, just killing it. You go, Guitar George. ❤
Whenever I listen to this song I can not really tell who plays better, all did an amazing job. Terry Williams, the drummer, plays at heaven level, not to talk about Mark.
마크노플러?
Thank you veryveryvery
the drummer rocks
Terry is a beast on drums holy shit.
Mark is titan with that Strat.
You don't forget that keyboard guy = sensational.
Glenn Hayes Terry Williams was and is the best drummer they ever had.
Glenn Hayes This is not a strat, it is a schecter
Home base banbury
They win. Stop!
Mark knofler one of the most talented lead guitar/ singers in the 80's. dire straits rocks

This is pure genius. The entire band is totally amazing. Saw them live. Wow! Just wow!
Wanted to leave a comment but I’m still speechless. What a banger of a performance. They’re absolutely ripping through the solos at an insane pace, what an absolute joy to listen to world class musicians performing at their best. That was Fing good
After 36 years NEVER EVER forgotten just how good this is! Tight. Magnificent! Um, WOW!!!!!
There are nights in the life of every band when everything just works...all the musicians are on top of their game & everything comes together perfectly...this is one of those nights!
Yes 🥰💕
Seriously this. I mean, Mark is awesome no doubt, but every single one of the band is giving it their all. The drummer is on fire, they're having fun on stage..everything just works. 💯👌🏻Seriously wish I was there.
Well put..I think a Rock Symphony like this classic if we can call it that is much harder to pull off given the blistering pace and the all too high probability of messing it up so easily and just once..may be a better trained ear can spot some minor inaccuracies in the workmanship here but to the average fan, this is just flawless.
And doing it live on stage with no chance for a do over or re recording is just icing on the cake...how supremely talented they are individually and collectively !!
Hear, hear stewartmac1. I'm an old London rock chick, veteran of so many live gigs. This one was special back in the day and 40+ years on is still bloody special. Mind you, I never went to a gig at Hammersmith Odeon that wasn't special. xxx

The guy at the drums is royally bossing this.
Terry Williams had a monster night in Hammersmith Odeon. This must be a performance of his life. Absolutely insane. Incredible..
Same goes for Hal, John, Alan and Mark himself. He was never able to duplicate this performance.
Dire Straits is one of those rare groups where I like their live versions even better than the excellent recorded versions. Here, for instance, the drummer really let's her rip, and Mark Knopfler shines on the guitar.
all the greats are better live

In a thousand years listeners will still enjoy this magical masterpiece of musical art! Definatly all time top 10 stuff in my opinion.
I have it in my top 10 best ever too. You have great taste in music : )
There is best dong of the history
No other song in my 73 years of life has rocked my soul as much as this masterpiece, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. T
Great number, indeed. I was considering Job from the Bible... He was in "Dire Straits" ... I had to hear Sultans of Swing one more time!
Maybe Just maybe R.E.M. Loosing my religion...😄😁😆
i could not agree with you more. simply amazing. i have heard it a 1000 times . never tired of it.
A song that will be eternal.
Hieno ♥️
the best performance ever of sultans of swing, incredible union of all the band together, guitar drums and vocals, the best ever without doubts, hall of fame for mark, thanks bro
this song is the best of DS...and the best performance ever from all the band members...specially from Mark. What a great guitar solos...what a display …what a performance. Heard this song thousands of million times....and I will until the end. Superb! Amazing!

Me too!!!
I'll forever consider Pink Floyd as my favourite bande to play live but I have to admit this is the best live performance I've ever seen
DRUMS!!! DRUMS!!! DRUMS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Knopfler is a god, and the band is so impressive, this performance needs to be played for everyone.
Watching and listening to this amazing performance reminds me that there is hope yet in this world
I very much agree!
For me this is the best version! Never gets stale. Now approaching 70yrs, difficult to find other live songs with such near perfection😎😎
Set
Yes
Yes
Completely agree
Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd live from Pulse..goosebump stuff
That drummer is a beast!

Merci pour votre et mon bonheur

If this is not one of the best plays in history I do not know what is!
