Knopfler's skill as a poet - telling a moving and thought-provoking story - is often missed. Yes... he's a masterful musician - but a great poet too.
He was a lecturer( prof ) of literature
No gimmicks, no expensive show visual effects, no backing dancers, no lip syncing. Ladies and gentlemen, this is 110% talent.
No computers, no half dressed screaming woman.
So true, well said.
No fucking autotune.
And a self taught finger picker who is left handed but started to play right when his sister told him to when he was a kid
Only skill, decipline, LOVE and PASSION.
Lets not forget our gratitude for the internet, and RUclips, and being able to watch their performances endlessly. You are, by far, my favourite reactors 💜. Thank you
I am 89 and just came upon this whilst surfing. I would just like to say I wish to God I had had found it 45 years ago. Incredible talent. Not a weak link to be found.
I've heard this song hundreds of times, and I feel the tears every single time !
Alchemy is sometimes called the greatest live album ever done.
Hard to argue against it.
And it is the best live album ever.
And one can see why right here !
Of course it is
I agree, absolutely
Mark is a natural left handed player, playing right-handed, when he ggot his first guitar, his Dad could only afford a right handed guitar.
Three guitar solos from the master.
I feel this is the best ever piece of piano playing in a rock band. He just ties every other instrument together like a family and it's also such an important instrument in this song, if it wasn't used in this song this song would never be this epic. I've always considered Mark's guitar playing as the best in the world but Alan on the piano is brilliant. He used to play with Eric Clapton and is the only player in Clapton's band to ever leave on his own accord and he moved to Dire Straits and that says it all.
The Piano and Alan is as much of the star in this song as Mark and his guitar.
I also love the bass and the rhythm guitars as well but really love just how delicate Terry is on the drums when he's just tinkling the cymbals gently and Alan is gently doing the same on the high notes on the piano, so much power and so much delicate playing is just bloody awesome.
And at 56 years old I've loved this song for 40 years and my love for it gets better and stronger by the year.
Sometimes when I'm listening thru headphones I just tear up with happiness due to such beautiful music.
The main reason they're so bloody brilliant is because they're all happy smiling and jamming to something they love doing
Try to listen "By kind permission" from Jethro Tull
Ditto.
Я в свои 28 лет также как и ты плачу от радости, когда ночью перед сном в одиночестве в наушниках слушаю Dire Straits. Это алхимия для души
Loved your comment, says so much, so accurately! And, yes for the pianist to leave Clapton for Dire Straits is a story in itself!
I m exactly your age and i love them sane as you for sane period of time.I NEVER get tired of their pieces of arts and particularly of this song which i used to call it a symphony.Your comment truly inspires me.Thank you.
Seen Dire Straits live many times, just incredible. Still Love it❤ After so many years.
Alchemy album is the best live album ever made in music , too much talents ans too much , i v never seen a live performance so clean like that
Talking Heads- Stop Making Sense is equally good and for a clean, live you need to go and see Steely Dan.
Telegraph Road Alchemy is the 9th symphony of the Rock and Roll. There isn't anything like that on the planet earth.
Agreed modern classical music
It's incredible I wouldn't have heard this but I met a girl who became my girlfriend she later became out as a lesbian I knew there was something different about her but she played this one night and omg it blew me away so I thank Michelle for the worst relationship of my life but the gift of dire straits ❤️
So what are the first 8 symphonies ? 🇬🇧 This is an absolute classic never to be matched !
Should have called the album Knopflers Ninth
Perfect comment
Mark Knopfler is a brilliant guitarist and a superb song writer - pure genius.
Truly a special talent. So unique. Dire straits live.. they slayed it!
and a Geordie to boot !
And still doing it at the highest level
I first heard this aged about 10. Even well over 30 years later I still get goosebumps. Absolutely incredible.
I have said this before but I can’t believe how they manage to convey SO much emotion with their music!
I saw them live in 1985 here in the U.K. in a sheep shed called the Showering pavilion in Somerset. Always was into then even when all my friends at the time were into punk or New Romantic music, I had to keep them quiet from my friends at the time as it was frowned upon to like Dire Straits.
Really loved your reaction, so genuine and you really get this music. 😊
And never forget, this is LIVE music, no autocorrection, just pure, raw talent.
in the 80's I used to play guitar all the time 5 or 6 hours a day, my friend asked me if I wanted to go see Dire Straits... As you would expect I did, I think I have seen them at least twice live (in Australia). Pure, clean guitar, and the band is next level.
They will be playing these performances one hundred, two hundred years from now. If you die and reincarnate many decades from now, you'll still find this music!
Thankyou for a brilliant reaction 👍🇬🇧
This song was inspired whilst Mark Knopfler was on a dIRE sTRAITS tour bus along Telegraph Road in the USA whilst also reading the book “Growth of the Soil” by Norwegian author Knut Hamsun when he wrote this song. Growth of the Soil is regarded as a historical classic. ... The novel exemplified Hamsun's aversion to modernity and inclination towards simplicity.
I truly believe that this song alone packs more emotions than all the FM music stations in America in a whole year in fact if I had to pick just one song as my all time favorite this would be it , despite I'm a big Pink Floyd fan!
My all time favorite too, listen to it every day🎸🎶😍
Quite possibly the best guitar solo Dire straits ever did. Mark is a God !!!!
Jesus, that was INTENSE, gets me every time.
Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour are probably two of the VERY BEST guitarists of modern times, if not THE best. But their styles are quite different I think. Mark's fingers dance ACROSS the strings, whereas David's dance ALONG the strings. Both BRILLIANT, and capable of stirring your innermost soul.
Both Dire Steaits AND Pink Floyd are just beyond compare, both bands have BRILLIANT Drummers, Keyboard players, Bass players, AND guitarists.
Best two bands for me. Talent, style and between them, they have some of the best songs of all time.
The Maestro Mark Knopfler and his Band , Dire Straits , at the HEIGHT of their Abilities . Incomparable .
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Telegraph Road isn't a song, it's an entire album. Best. Song. Ever.
It's a MOVIE!
Definitely one of my favourites
Agreed. Song never gets old for me. It really is a composition and transcends rock and roll to a lofty art! Such a gem .
It's awesome to see your reactions. You have got to understand that when this LP, Love over Gold came out, in 1982, it knocked everyone of their chairs! I was 16 and I will never forget laying on the livingroom floor, reading the lyrics and listening, over and over again. Saw them live in 86 ❤ Do not forget Mark Knopfler as a storyteller. He always means every word he is singing and in every song, there is a story! Then and now! I love it, and I feel really lucky to have followed his music since -78. It's truly incredable. True love of music can never fade. Thank you Mark! No words are enough to describe this feeling of gratitude. ❤ 🎶🎸📚
Я завидую вам. Вам удалось побывать на концерте Dire Straits в самом разгаре их творчества. Это моя мечта
It floored me ...but it got no airplay
Love Dire Straits...the guitar playing is just phenomenal
The highest level of musical performance.
Just solid blues/rock of the American South performed by a top tier British band in its prime.
I've listened to Dire Straits almost every day for more than 40 years. Your reactions to them are what I feel inside practically every time I listen to them. It's great to see you sharing in their greatness.
👍👍
Same same. Im much younger but also a fan for almost two decades. I like to watch the reaction videos because it reminds me in my own feelings about this music. I've been 7 times in Mark's concerts. Epic stuff.
@@gasperek We have impeccable taste 🙂
Simply... the best reaction of Thelegraph Road. Congrats bros.
There can never be enough words to justify just how brilliant Dire Straits are.
Ive typed out 3 different messages here but like i said, its impossible to describe
My favourite band of all time
MK is simply the definition of cool.
I love watching you enjoy the magic that is Mark and Dire Straits. Mark is a gift to the world. Masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goddamnit I love your twos passion for the phenomenon that is Dire Straits
Great reaction to the greatest band of all time 🎸
Alan Clark is my favourite keyobardist ever, he made me start learning piano
Yes exceptional
The biggest problem with this song was that it was too long for radio stations to play and therefore it has always been the most underappreciated Dire Straits song. It has always been my favourite and the version you played is a particularly good one.
Incredible lyrics, telegraph road is a masterpiece of art and music.
So nice to see you guys react just like I do. It brings me to tears often.
I feel both Lucky and Sad. Lucky that I was born in 1961 and started going to concerts in 1973. I feel sad, that this music will never be created again. I feel my Youth has been regenerated, by you guys, listening and appreciating this era of great legendary music. I want to thank you 🙏 from my old Heart ❤️
1959 agrees with you! :)
So your mother drop you off at concert also.
@@carolrademacher7002 actually, my Brother was 16 and a guitar 🎸 player, so he took me to all the concerts in the early 70’s. Sometimes I went with boyfriend’s on dates.
1957 here. Will never hear a band like this again!
I was born i 1963, and i can only agree, we were lucky to grow up with bands like Dire Straits!
We were spoiled with great music then, a fantastic period for us.❤️❤️❤️
I always say the same "Why does that guitar sound like that?", you can hear only two notes and you can say "that's Mark Knofler's guitar". Good reaction as always. :D
Dire Straits truly were a phenomenal band.
Dude, it's Mark Knopfler. His music is everywhere. He really studied the blues and country music. In fact, if you wanna know which guitarist most influenced him, it would have to be Chet Atkins, who taught him to make his guitar talk.
Don't worry about broadcasting it, but you have to listen to their first three albums. The rest are amazing, but it will give you an idea of just how insanely mature Mark's compositions were from the very beginning. "Wild West End" from the first album is an absolute masterpiece. All of Communique will melt your brain. Then Making Movies, which features "Tunnel" and "Romeo and Juliette", which are iconic. Then move on to Brothers and Every Street and so on.
You guys will be amazed. Just drop a tab, find a beach and make a day of it. You will come out younger and filled with hope!
Somewhere on youtube is a video of the SkyArts docu Guitar Stories, which did an episode on Knopfler
Absolutely spot on man!
And Industrial Desease = 2 man say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
You speak truths. I actually prefer the first three albums, with Pick Withers on drums. Like you said, 'Wild West End' is an absolute masterpiece. Also 'Six Blade Knife' imho.
Just magic ❤
hey guys, these guys are all now in their late 60s! MK is now 72. And still the best. this was my generations music and on til this time and so happy you are finding these concerts
I worked all their shows (security) in London in '85 and the best one was the legendary hammersmith odeon concerts.
I'm in a few shots as i worked front of stage.
A privilege to be there.
Hammy Odeon , best gig house ever !! Like a second home to me in the late 70's 😊🙌🙌
@@tenchmagic i probably pushed you back into your seat row!
Late 70's?
Did you go to the Rainbow gigs?
Another massive high.
So many legendary gigs at that venue.
@@TheCornishCockney yeah , probably 😆 Lizzy , Rainbow , Blue Oyster Cult in 77. Rush , Lizzy , and so many more in 78. Sabbath with Van Halen in 79 was interesting 😆😆. Epic times mate 👍👍
Lucky you.
To the guy on the right, your energy and excitement is wonderful and is so contagious!!!! It’s a breath of fresh air watching people’s reactions to this epic performance and you made my day with your transparency. “I would sell my soul”.. Love it!!!
As for Mark Knopfler and David Gilmore, they are apparently in studio together as we speak, working on a project. Can you imagine??! Fingers crossed it makes its way to the public. Mark is and always will be my favourite guitarist as he moves me emotionally more than anything I’ve come across in my 45+ years. He is pure genius.
Quite possibly the the most talented group of musicians to play in one band. I don't care where you look, guitar, keyboard, drums, Saxophone. Pure genius from a group that will never be matched live.
Dire Straits - Best live band ever ! Mark Knofler not only that he is master on guitar, he also is master of writeing songs ! For me he is best guitar playr and there is one more, from Serbia, Kragujevac, Radomir Točak, band is called SMAK !
"all the birds up on the wires and up on the poles, they can always get out of this rain and this cold." ............wow!.....
I"m wondering how on earth one can smash a thumb down button after hearing one of the world"s best rock ballads
Jealousy
thumb slipped!
Finally got around to watching this , brings back so many great memories . I saw this concert when they came to Vancouver , yes , I'm an old man . I saw the Brother's In Arms tour as well . Just a great band , so tight . Mark is their leader and it was an incredible show . As I've said before , I left that show with my ears ringing and I was a foot off the ground . It was so pure and I've been to many many concerts , Doobie Brother's , Elton John in '72 , Bruce Springsteen , Queen in '76 , Chicago in '77 and '79 and they were all great shows , but Dire Straits are the bomb , my favourite live band and my favourite band , enjoy the sound Mark creates , it's unique and in my opinion he is a guitar genius . Chris
They made music for all of us , for your too! ❤️
In a 1985 interview David Gilmour commented, “Mark Knopfler has a lovely, refreshing guitar style. He brought back something that seemed to have gone astray in guitar playing”. I worship the music of Mark Knopfler, with Dire Straits and now with his even longer solo career.
Dire Straits....one of those bands and singers you recognize from the first notes, from the sound of his voice. Distinctive instruments, distinctive sound to his voice. They are awesome!! Thanks Dudes! ❤️
Alcamy is the greatest live album ever made in my opinion! Mark knofler is a f##ing legend!!!
Dire Straits. The greatest Rock and Roll orchestra ! Terry Williams is one of the best rock drummers I've ever heard!
I've said this so many times, better time keeping than Rolex
@@leeharvey876 Phil Rudd is another who is a human metronome. Sure he doesn't play the big runs etc the way Terry (and others) do, but he can hold a beat like few others and combined with Malcolm and Cliff provided one of the best and most solid 'rhythm sections' around for Angus and Brian/Bon to do what they do/did best. Now Malcolm (RIP) was someone who was under-rated as a guitarist IMHO!
Original drummer Pick Withers was great as well
Terry terrorizes the drums on sultan's of swing. If you watch carefully during the alchemy performance you could even at one point see Mark and John turn back to Terry and smile surprized .I'm sure he did something out of script
JUST FLIPPING BRILLIANT
@Dino Govender - I felt sorry for those drums!
I never believed in reincarnation until I seen that performance....those drums are definitely Adolf reincarnated and Terry brutalised him for all the naughty things he done 😂
I'm late finding this reaction. I'm not joking, I was there! (I'm a blob in the crowd on the inside of the album cover)
I was 18 years old and I went down there on the train with some fellow apprentices from work.
When they played this live, we couldn't believe it, it was better than the studio version.
It was an amazing concert, Telegraph road was the highlight.
Amazing!
Thanks for reacting to this and bringing back memories of when I had hair!
They're gonna go insane...I'm preparing myself....Woooow!! You can take that to the bank!!!
man these were the times. pure/raw talent. look optional. guys looking like they just came from a tennis practice and be like "ok lads lets get on stage and play something yeah?" . the crowd losing their shit. THIS IS MUSIC!
Those goosebumps you both had ? A 15 year old schoolboy who bought this album as soon as it was released in 1983 can vividly remember having those same goosebumps listening to this same song. Crazy that 38 years later, I can still remember the experience.
Também, abraços!! 🇧🇷
One of my favourite pieces of music of all time ❤️
Thank you Mark and the band! The drummer deserves a free beer, lol!
Mark is so good and has been for a loooong time..
"Private Investigations" from their concert in Nimes, France in 1992 adds even more sounds, it'll blow you away.
An absolute masterpiece from Dire Straits! You should listen to 'Tunnel of Love' it's another amazing song from them.
From the opening bars, a fantastic song!
Yesss, Tunnel of love is a must. You guys reacted two times to Sultans of swing, firstly the studio version and then a live one; I think doing the same for Tunnel of love could be a very good idea
@@danieleciprari9041 Love the rockier songs on that album, Skateaway, Espresso Love, Solid Rock. I suppose there is always a song you don't like by any artist, Les Boys, I HATE IT!!! 😒
@@BertSmithLondon Sydney final concert 26th April 1986. Best version ever absolutely..
Tunnel of love is their best song. The studio version.
I guess I'm very blessed to have seen them live once, in their Brothers in Arms concert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Thanks for this guys... I think it is important to keep in context that this performance was an encore after a 2-hour concert of their greatest and latest hits to that point. I think it was an incredible live performance the likes of which we don't see these days. The concert tours of the late 70s and early 80s were a high mark for live sound quality and polished musicianship. I fondly recall the days in high school '78-82 where the big thing to do was attend the rock concert that weekend and wear the T-Shirt to school on Monday. The shows were incredible live performances with the musicians playing and singing everything LIVE. It was just about the music... pure, raw, magical...
I bet there are thousands of us who would sell their soul to see Mark and David play on the same stage.
Saw them in Austin on this tour in ‘85. Best show I’ve ever seen, to this day.
Now that is how you do rock n roll!! Defies adequate description. Thanks for sharing your reactions.
Wow Guys, I can't believe this, Iv'e asked so many reactors to react to this and finally someone namely you have reacted to this masterpiece. Thanks so much, you guys are doing a great job,you have reacted to a lot of songs that I know others havn;t and that makes you guys special,keep it up.
Now that you mention it, I have not seen any other reactions to it. They don’t know what they are missing.
Enoma has done it too i think
I have too, first reaction to this song! :)
I said the same thing right above your post I also suggested this one for them. Enjoying the "Dudes" :-)
@@penderyn8794 Yes, they did and were very impressed.
A mastercalss in dynamics....that´s Dire Straits for you...every.freaking.time.
That was a joy to watch this with you. You feel like I did over 40 years ago, watching it for the first time.
As a guitar player, a lesson to take from Mark is that he wasn’t taught by anyone how to play guitar and had no reference to the ‘right way’ to play. He never sought out to sound like anyone else and thus ended up creating a new way to play with a new sound, his sound.
Perfect 👌
He swapped guitars with his brother! WOW! way to show off how good he is.
Thank you, guys. Great reaction to one of the best bands of all time! Period.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time, and my favourite ever guitarist. I recommend the whole first side of the ‘Communique’ record: ‘Once Upon A Time In the West’, ‘News’, ‘Where Do You Think You’re Going?, and ‘Lady Writer’.
Where Do You Think You're Going, one of their very best!
Superior album right from the first opening chords.
Totally agree
@@keithjones6023 I’ve got to agree with you. That song has steadily climbed up mi list of favourite Straits tunes since mi teens. I’m far more a tone junky than I was as a lad, and his guitar tone on the crescendo at the end of WDYTYG is just exquisite.
Once upon a time in the West is an absolutely exhibition. Knopfler showing all his best in Brussels 1981 for example.
18th birthday present was two tickets to see Dire Straits years ago. Mind blown then - STILL blown now (and I'm 54)
This song is more than just a beautiful song, it is a history lesson and a look at the angst of youth in a town like the one that grew here. When I listen to it I feel it, I lived it. The "Bet on a race between the lights", the feeling of the need to escape and find a better place. I am older now, I made my escape, I found a better place, I made a life for us. But this song brings it all back, and I remember the places I escaped, the choices I made, the long years of hard work.
Every time he gets those fingers going on that guitar the World pays attention...in anticipation of another masterpiece!
Thank you for a great reaction I love watching you both. I am a child of the 50's so I have had the privilege of seeing this incredible band several times at their very best. My boyfriend at the time and myself we came away from this concert on such a high we didn't come down for days. Fantastic wonderful does not begin to describe it, so talented all of them. I was a little in love with Mark and certainly John Illsley on bass....🥰🥰💗🎸🎸
They certainly have a style all of their own. Such a fantastic band.The first piece I ever heard from Dire Straights was in the 80s Sultans of Swing. Mark is such a great guitarist even now at 72.
I have been listening to music for decades hearing thousands of songs and this is my all time no 1 favorite song.
The piano player is Alan Clarke. He eventually left the band to be Tina Turner's musical Director.
Great to see Alan Clark getting the props he deserves!!......longest standing member behind Knopfler and Illsley....and key to their sound
Big shout out to Guy Fletcher who arrived soon after and is still in Marks solo band to this very day. Can't wait for Marks next solo album due out in 2023 at 73 years old. God bless him 😊
@@MinistryOfDarkness11 Guy Fletcher,is absolutely brilliant.I saw the band twice,on their Love Over Gold tour,at Hammersmith Odeon,and Wembley Arena.Also saw Mark with the Notting Hillbillies,at the Leas Cliff Hall.Was standing about ten feet away from him, mesmerized by his playing.
For sure best live album of all time.
I went twice to Alchemy in the UK. I feel privileged. Absolutely amazing performances. 🎸
That concert was amazing. Still have a lot of amazing songs from it to go... 'once upon a time in the west' (the concert opener) 'Private investigations' and tunnel of love to name but a few.
I’m in my 70’s and a guitarist,we thank God we grew up in a magical time for music, bands like these still get me right inside ,wonderful,so glad you guys feel the effect now,🎸
I seriously doubt we will ever experience new music like this again. How sad if im right.
You are right for sure
Check out Tedeschi Trucks Band. Not quite as"epic," but equally as talented. Best touring band on the planet, imo.
Dire Straits my all time favorite band they were so underrated that is a shame
I was there working security,and even us hard bitten bouncers stood and applauded.
The whole show was a huge highlight in 27years in the industry.
I saw them in Whitley Bay for the for the Making Movies LP where they come from and had the song on the LP called Tunnel of Love about their childhood in Whitley Bay. The crowd went mad when that one came on!!!!! So talented musicians.
I personally think this is the best song ever written, no other song can beat Telegraph Road. I was able to see the masterpiece Telegraph Road in person in the De Kuip football stadium in Rotterdam. Thanks for your nice comments gentlemen!
Helemaal met je eens!! Beste nummer ooit gemaakt, de rode draad in mijn leven....kippenvel 🎸🔥🎶
@@carinvanhummel8621 ook bij mij is Telegraph Road de rode draad in mijn leven.
Er wordt vaker gezegd dat Bohemian Rapsody het beste rocknummer is, ik ben het daar absoluut niet mee eens. Dire Straits heeft bewezen met Telegraph Road dat Bohemian Rapsody een geweldige tegenhanger heeft.
Net wat de mannen van Bro Action zeggen, Dire Straits bedankt voor niet egoïstisch te zijn en de wereld ervan te laten genieten.
THE Best band of all time. No more to say.
My all time favorite band. I consider myself very fortunate I got to see them in concert twice. The outstanding piano player is Allen Clark.
Every member of this band are truly rare individual talents, who are able to blend together to make great music.
