The guitar player/singer is Mark Knopfler. He turned 75 a few days ago and released 9 new tracks - One Deep River (Deluxe) as a gift to us. One of the most prolific artists of the last 5 decades and still going. A very deep rabbit hole, enjoy your journey if you decide to dive in.
Hi just discovered your channel. I recommend the song Calling Elvis - Live Dire Straits "On The Night" 1993. Its one of my favorite performances with some unexpected surprises at the end. Love your reaction. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
Nothing brightens up my day more than seeing you smile. Or is it hearing your voice? Maybe it's your beautiful face. Either way, I can't lose when I see your posts. Thank you.
This was back when MTV was almost all music videos. They have lost there way. They need to go back to what made them popular to begin with! Awesome reaction! 😃
The person who you hear singing the intro to this song is STING . Great job with your reaction to Money For Nothing from Dire Straits the live performance.
The lyrics are a direct transcription of what one of the members of the band heard from the backroom staff at a stereo store. He was there to find some new equipment, and the guys were moving stock into the showroom and snarking at the videos playing on the TVs there. Working class guys sneering at rich rock stars who get their "money for nothing". And yes, that's Sting singing “ I want my MTV “ and on the chorus.
If no one else said it yet in the comments, the line at the beginning of the song, “I want my MTV” was a reference to the fact that when MTV was still a new network, their marketing would tell people if their cable provider didn’t have the network to call the provider and say, “I want my MTV”. Of course, MTV went on to be one of the biggest and most successful cable networks for years, and the rest is history lol. And Dire Straits was one of the most successful bands on MTV in it’s early days. Their videos were very influential to other artists.
Hey BabyGirl!! Watching your eyes light up is what reaction channels are all about. Reminds us old timers of when WE first heard this. Much love child!
Hi, dear Olavity... Dire Sraits is amazing... much quality... For me "Brother in Arms" and de "Telegraph Road" are the best songs.... beautiful both... Greetins 4u, dear Olavity... from Chile, South America!
I love how you appreciate the musicianship. Dire Straits is very talented. Another band you'd enjoy for their musicianship is Dream Theater. Their song Metropolis pt 1 is amazing. It's long but their playing is unmatched.
Mark just turned 75 yesterday. He also released his 10th solo album. Southerby just auctioned many of his guitars for Children with Cancer foundation. They brought in 8 million dollars. There is a YT video of him talking about the upcoming auction with Southerby's auctioneer and what they meant to him. He is a fun person to listen to with a dry sense of humor.
Great reaction! Mark Knopfler is the musician of my life! So much more to discover, but next MUST be: Telegraph Road, Alchemy live. Be sure to read the lyrics before, it is such a great storytelling! Greetings from Switzerland Linus
FunFacts: Dire Straits were actually one of the first performers on the newly founded MTV in 1981 with this song (as a funny video clip ruclips.net/video/wTP2RUD_cL0/видео.html ) LIVE is a whole different story... FF 2: one of the guitarists is his younger brother...
I like this drummer too, but I seem to prefer the drummer, Terry Williams, from Sultans of Swing better...seems more rock solid--great abdominal strength, not all over the place, like this one.
Studio version was IONS better than this terrible live version. The pace of this live version is WAY to fast, like they were rushing through the song.....not a good version at all.

Watch the official video too. Early computer animation, but it still holds up.
It is a great video. It was also very smart advertising.
I'm also a fan of Weird Al's version of the song and video.
yes, reminds me of an old video game with giant pixels. At the start of the MTV craze, so it was almost historic in a sense.
@@JustMe-um8zp It was actually the first music video to use CGI, it was a few more years before those blocky figures made their way to video games.
Telegraph Road from their Alchemy Live performance is pretty exceptional.
Wembley was great!
Check out "Tunnel of Love", it will blow your mind.
also "Telegraph Road" from the Alchemy concert
Tunnel of Love from the same concert is exceptional. Great reaction btw! 👍

The official video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This live at Wembley was good, but the studio version and the official video are better.
Great reaction to this brilliant track. Do please check out ‘Calling Elvis’ from the ‘On the Night’ concert!

I am an old lady, so I am allowed, but I have to say, you are so cute. You have such a lovely personality. Just had to tell you.
Love your reactions.Another hit song.
Back when cable first came out MTV was such a big hit!
I love how you appreciate the musicianship. Dire Straits is very talented.

💯. Just a masterpiece. Also Brothers in Arms, gets me emotional every time. Heck, do them all. Mark K is The Man!
Worth checking out one of his new songs on YT......'Ahead of the game'
Um dos riffs mais famosos do rock!
Do the full 8 min studio version and watch the music vid too.
Great Reaction, Glad you liked it

Mark Knopfler is the musician of my life!
So much more to discover, but next MUST be:

Be sure to read the lyrics before, it is such a great storytelling!
Greetings from Switzerland
Linus
Like the 80es- 90es?! Have a Look on Supertramp Live inParis!❤
As an introduction to the song, definitely listen to the studio recording as well. Iconic.
More Dire Straits!
Cool beans 😎😯

...and after Telegraph Road:
Tunnel of Love, from the same album (Alchemy live...)
Keep on discovering!
those were the days...
FunFacts: Dire Straits were actually one of the first performers on the newly founded MTV in 1981 with this song (as a funny video clip ruclips.net/video/wTP2RUD_cL0/видео.html )
LIVE is a whole different story...
FF 2: one of the guitarists is his younger brother...
Please react to "on every street". For me, its their best song.
She has got to be the "keyboard queen".
Telegraph Road.
Try “Telegraph Road” from Alchemy Live.
Ola what about your band Led Zeppelin and your man Robert Plant Jimmy Page ❤😂
💖💖👏👏👋👋🙌🙌👍👍
The censored version.
Little Queenie!
Go to react to Gojira "gift of guilt" live or stranded. Another level👍
This is like a 2.0 of their original version - you might like to check it as well - I certainly prefer it, as they're trying too hard here.
Anybody tell you you'd make a good Cleopatra in a movie?
I like this drummer too, but I seem to prefer the drummer, Terry Williams, from Sultans of Swing better...seems more rock solid--great abdominal strength, not all over the place, like this one.
they change the words from the little faget to the little queny because people are to easyly afended never change words in a clasic song
quenny is actually better it is more derogatory but no one will care - great move by dire straits
if you never change you will be dead - life is change - grow up - i liked the original words but things change that is life - queeny is just as good
