Alan Clark is DEFINITELY one of the most underrated keyboard players ever. What a FANTASTIC piano part - and everybody just talks about the lead guitar, because it's so terrific, too...
An example of the truly great music 'from the past' though, to me, it still sounds fabulous--a thousand times better than what passes for music today. Really!
Knopfler is so brilliant-- lots of subtle stuff in his songs one may not immediately notice. Since I never tire of listening to DS, however, I eventually catch some of them.
This gig was in 84 but message in this song is more present than ever! It describes perfectly what we've become and specially what we're feeling with the debt crisis here in Portugal and probably a little all over Europe... just wish we (our "wasted" generation) could make it our anthem to help us stand up for our rights!
pour moi c'est le top,cette musique est tant chargée d'émotions 'que entre plaisir et larmes, que c'est presque difficile à écouter jusqu'à la fin...pensées ❤❤❤à mon frère Stéphane....
First heard Dire Straits in the late 70's on the radio, playing Sultan of Swing. My first reaction was who the hell is playing the Guitar, when the DJ said who it was I had no option to go out and buy their CD. Since then bout all their CD's and Videos. Seen them live on several occasions, 1985 took my 12 year Son to one of their concerts, he like me has been a big fan.
Nice to hear and see the original Dire Straits in concert doing exactly what brought them such fantastic acclaim in the early days. Mark, John on bass, brother David rhythm guitar and Pick on drums.....nice!
The album mix is very interesting to listen to in a recording studio on proper monitors. The mix is sweet and there are lots of details that you don't normally hear. One of my favorite songs ever!!!
❤buongiorno grande Mark questa è vera musica la tua chitarra 🎸 che tu suoni è una meraviglia da sentire sempre canzone che adoro Dio mio quanto è bella!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
+asad mohammed When I first discovered MK i realized, that he was indeed something special. I was just starting to learn the guitar. Now a few years later, im even more blown away. I think that means something.
That +/- 5minute solo at the end of the full length version...... Faaaaak!! I close the door, crank up the volume...and air guitar so bad that my eyes start to water xD for real!! Knopfler manages to tell a story with the way he plays guitar, especially in his new music! He has epic amounts of emotion and soul... no one can make a guitar sound the way he does! Just wish I was one of the lucky few to have seen the Alchemy live tour!! Only seen Mark Knopfler live in SouthAfrica once

It's literally the only 15 minute song ever written which I still think is too short. Absolute genius.
Best 15 min song ever! Amazing.
The best guitar player ever, the best band ever, the best music ever! This will live on forever I personally will take care of that!
I'm sorry about Rita
absolutely incredible performance
I agree
Alan Clark is DEFINITELY one of the most underrated keyboard players ever.

I had the "Alchemy live" tape in my walkman almost permanently when I was twelve!!
Me too🎉🎉🎉
Hear that rhytm, hear that arrangement, hear that sound, That's real music!
👍😊
😮
Killer drumming by Terry Williams 🥁

Telegraph road. In my humbled opinion one of the greatest rock songs ever composed. Thank you MARK!
One of the tightest bands every to grace the planet :)
Knopfler is so brilliant-- lots of subtle stuff in his songs one may not immediately notice. Since I never tire of listening to DS, however, I eventually catch some of them.
Perfect !!! No one can create a story within a song like dire straits ✌️
Perfekt ❤❤❤
Guns n Roses did that too. My two favorite bands than can put in 10 minutes without a chorus and still make it sound... like You say, a story.

Was at Hammersmith Odeon when this was recorded.. ALCHEMY...👌 UNFORGETTABLE.. Mr magical fingers. Like mature wine . Gets better with age. 👌
Best song ever period!! It's a story, a piano solo.. a guitar solo.. and a mighty drum roll. Genius.
