Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest songwriters and guitar players of our time.
yep
@Carl Henry yep, he is indeed! HA!
Of any time
Mark is the Greatest of All Time.
@@JamesCouch777 Damn! You beat me to it! That was my thought as well!
He's settled into the role of elder statesman of Rock.... his authenticity just grows with every passing year. A truly inspiring man.
So He is just The Rock Reference
I agree about he being authentic
Thanks to Mark, I entered the university and defended my diploma perfectly. His lyrics inspired me...
They say Rock and Regae is dying. Not for me, music will return once people get tired of the 2 chord base nonsense.
@@jpsteen9660
And this great song is both rock and reggae.
I was born in 1977 and no music speaks to me more than Mark Knopfler's. A reason to love life! Thank you mr. Knopfler
ure lucky, im 65
@@psystealth I still need to make it there so from my point of view you are the lucky one 😉
This groove could go on for 500 hours uninterrupted and I still would not be tired of listening to it.
I agree🎶🎶
Por eso enmla grabación del 2010 se escucha a un asistente gritar OLE tus coj.......impresionante tema un genio y rodeado de músicos tremendos
Luv once soon in the west. I CAN LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC OVER & over. Great guitar players songwriter. One of my favorites🍀👍🏻❤️😘💀🎵🎶🏍
the bass in this track is really something too, as well as the guitar lol
Me too!! 👑
I asked a great guitar playing friend of mine if he could give me lessons. Said I wanted to learn how to play like Mark Knopfler. He laughed and said, “so do the rest of us guitar players”.
Even MK said it wasn't easy. It's all he did as a youngster. Practice, practice, practice.................
To play the notes can be done by some. To come up with them, will die along with Mark.
Mark used to sleep with his guitar, its a life long calling, you can't just learn it, it develops over many years.
I played for years before I realized that to be half as good as the guys I wanted to play like I was going to have to do nothing but study music and play guitar. My only consolation is that Mark is one of the few who plays with fingers the way I do. I'm only 70. I'll keep learning. ;)
@@dalecauthen9086 don't give up Dale, plenty of time yet fella!!
Just a few people were truly born to play the guitar Mr. Knopfler is one.
He has such great feel. He keeps the volume low, clean sound and I find myself listening carefully to each note.
EXACTLY!!!
To quote the person before me Exactly!
¡Como interactúa su guitarra con los otros músicos ! Hubiera preferido la Fender Stratocaster roja del “Communique” nunca me gustó demasiado el sonido Gibson Les Paul ( ideal para canciones como “ Money for nothing o “Brothers in arms”) para estas canciones primerizas.
Hard to believe this man has been putting out a QUALITY sound for over 40 years & STILL is an impeccable artist! Some older players lose their edge; NOT this dude!!
Got that right👊👍🎶🎶
Mark Knopfler & Dire Straits is a huge part of my soundtrack of life.
He may be a wee worn however,he still sounds & plays like his Sultan days.
Me too. When I was a kid my dad and I use to drive around and he would just crank Brothers in Arms. Some of my favorite memories.
I would ask him to turn it down and he would tell me no and laugh. I, of course, carry on the family tradition.
Me too
L listen every day of my life 🙏🙏🙏
I saw him when he first came out .amazing.
Mark's music is unique and his notes formations and the way they sound are even more unique. He has added another dimension to the way a guitar can possibly sing or cry.
The Knopf is in charge of his own genre. No one else even speaks his language
Agreed!
well said. This guy is a magician of the guitar
I appreciate his talent even more now than I did when the albums were new.
*_AGREE 100%_* . The man is in a league of his own. Untouchable!!
That is the best summary of knopfler ive ever heard .
VERY UNIQUE GUITARIST ON OF ITS KIND, NO ONE CAN COPY MARK KNOPFLER, HE IS ONE AND ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST
There are guitar players, and then there is Mark Knopfler...
Nice and beateyfull comment. Respeckt from Norway 💙❤
Yes, he's so unique !
Always forgotten, Albert Lee!
I had never seen Knopfler live before, until 2019 at Wolf Trap, Va. Fortuitously, my friend had front row seats. Best show I've ever seen in my life. Kept hearing these amazing guitar licks, and I'd look around the stage at all the guitarists to see who was playing them, and it was always Mark Knopfler! I never knew. Definitely one of the best guitarists alive today. If you asked me if I wanted to see Paul McCartney and Ringo playing a reunion gig or Knopfler with his current band, I'd have to pick Knopfler. That's how good he is.
@@crlchs i
His guitar speaks with it's own unique voice. He's one of the few artists you recognize within 2 or 3 notes. Like Richmond Thompson he's timeless.
Spot on there. His guitar has an accent.
@@evansclan4eva49 Because he doesn't play notes, the plays Knotes.
So true.... Just a few notes
@@sail4life Knowtes
So few people mention richard thompson........ Pleased to hear the shout out. Very overlooked genius.
Most underrated guitarist ever. He never makes a mistake or misses a note. Unbelievable
Underrated? You can’t be serious. Whoever knows a little bit about anything knows that Mr. Knopfler is a living legend.
Tá na lista dos melhores de todos os tempos meu caro.
Underrated😂...you must joking man....a few like him...
At the same time never plays it the same way twice .
Who underates him ? The fact that forty years after the first DS album came out that he still plays to full houses suggests he is not underrated. But I do think he is beginning to lose his original touch.
One of the best guitarists ever, and one hell of a songwriter!
Yea...totally agree...my favourite.
@@oscardunn4769 le meilleur et de loin
About 40 years since he first did this and still fantastic and origional yet completely different.
My god, the best version of one of the oldest, and coolest songs by this musical genius! EVERYONE, from the intro, to the chillest bass and drum groove, to the flute and horn leads, and to of course the impeccably brilliant guitar/vocal work by Mr (why hasn't he been knighted yet?) SIR MARK KNOPFLER! Had to watch this three times straight! (397 dislikes? Now that's just insulting!)
I know! Really! If you don't appreciate the awesomeness of this song, you must be tone deaf!
I like the amped reggae vibe
he was deservedly knighted quite a while back. he is Sir Mark Knopfler OBE.
The groove is roots Reggae...this is why this song moves! The band has captured this groove excellently behind his masterful guitar work!
Anyone who dislikes MK just cant appreciate music..simple
It's a little sad that just because Mark's such an amazing lead guitarist & and a story teller of a songwriter second to none, that most of us fail to really fully appreciate his fabulously unique vocals !
Ha. I found his music because I heard him sing.
Agreed
Oh, I've always loved Mark's vocals as well. Do they have a ton of range? Perhaps not, but they're the ideal understated, narrator-style accompaniment to his music. To me he almost sounds like the Geordie rock version of a Morgan Freeman narration track... very steady, reassuring, deeply personal.
Mark is a true artist and I believe he's well aware of his (few) limitations. He crafts his songs such that they suit his voice perfectly, IMO.
Anyway, hope your Sunday suits you perfectly!
I am fifty-four years old. Since I was 15 I've listened to Dire Straits, I've listened to Mark Knopfler.
Simply the best!
I'm 64 and been listening to him...oh yeah, I lost count
i am with you ... born in 1970 !
будь здоров, брат! 30.11.1970
Perfection does not exist in this world .... except for guitar players there is Mark Knopfler.
How about David Gilmoure, Joe Santriano....
@@tobiasherrmann5817 you're comparing apples to weedeaters.
Hands down bro..🙏🏽
Well fuckin said⚘
Much res -fuckin- pect✊🏾
I always loved the original, just discovered this live version a few days ago. I'm playing it as loud as I can , for about the 100th time in the last 24 hours. My little black Cavoodle is howling along with Mark' s solos. Life is very, very good! Thank you Mark, thank you Charlie (the dog)!!
I was on the Cologne concert in 2019 and heard this song live. So surprised I almost cried tears of joy that it was on the setlist. The original song was played on the Schecter Strat, just love how much fatter & better it sounds on the Les Paul.
Whatever guitar he plays, it is obviously him. I like the song better with the LP. He is playing with such low volume, which draws the listener in.
My generation is a lucky one; no war, job, health and lots more. And as "cérise sur le gâteau" , meanwhile more than 40 years of a beautiful musical work. Thank you Sir
In this world there can be only one guitar God that is mark knofler, who knows how to give a melody to the notes he plays. He is truly unique.
I respect his love for music, and for us. He does not seem to have an EGO. May he live long and healthy...
Oops
He has a or two twowheelers. Not so bad. Guitarthing not ugly also.
Not knowing who Mark Knopfler is, I instantly recognized the unique riffs and guitar techniques of Dire Straits.
He is so talented.
Absolutely the most talented guitarist and song writer I have ever known. Another masterpiece performed flawlessly.
It's not a flawless version. MK would say that....indeed, what is not flawless, is what he'd likely say. Genius
You should listen to Rory Gallagher then
@@stevenholton438 I just discovered Rory's Million Miles Away and I CAN NOT STOP LISTENING TO IT. Omg. What an epic song!!
@@gururajchadaga glad to hear it....i will listen again in support of you....it surely is ain't it?
@@stevenholton438 definitely! This hotel bar, is full a-people. The piano man is really layin it downn
Even the old bartender is high as a steeple,
So tell me why should I wear that frown.
That's lyric writing to its finest right there. Throw in the blues narrative and guitar to it and you have a masterpiece. 💙
His guitar playing is celestial and his voice so honest - my forever favorite...
I only saw Dire Straits once in Perth Western Australia, The Private Investigations tour - I was deaf for 3 days, but I loved it
Eh ?
Faith Haddad I absolutely love your review. “Celestial and honest”. Sublime commentary ❣️
Ha. I was there too. The only time I have seen DS. Magnificent.
Was there as well!...also at the Brothers in Arms Concert......just magical.
If ever there was a band to induce tinnitus you'd want to keep hearing, it'd be Dire Straits.
This man in his 70s and still one if not the best guitar player ever
I was there that night! Worthy 👍👍❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
There is only one man plays a guitar like that quite the best.
oh yeah, once upon a time, once upon a time in the west
Yea prince kick he's butt anytime
@@yousefbhoyroo6960 can't rhyme Joey?
@@harshwilly Will you guess?? He´s still the best!!
@@antoniopinedaportillo4277 once upon a time in the west...
hard to believe it was over forty years ago that I first heard this man sing and play Sultans of Swing. Just a fourteen year old inner city kid who, at the time, was in love with Elton John. I have all of Mark's work. I am very loyal to the greats...., and MK is absolutely one of the greats.
I suscribe all.
Lol, I was in 8th grade! Had Sultans of Swing written on book cover 😅
The Bassist does a fantastic job on this song.
3:30 - The drummer on the other hand. 😮
@@TheLambLive 👍👍
@Chuck Stone 👍👍
i concur
Glenn Worf is an all-star. Honestly the whole band is sensational, masters of their crafts. Richard Bennett holds is own beside Mark but Mark's got that mojo and is a literary genius.
My all time favorite singer and songwriter, I have had the privilege of meeting Mark on his tours in India!!!! An extremely down to earth person. There are are many things money can't buy and one of them is meeting Mark in person
Humble
Still the KING. Getting her done.
What an AMAZING soul. I consider it a blessing to be on this planet at the Same time this soul chose to come and amaze us with his ability to create such phenomenal music with the Guitar.. what an amazing history he has also that steered him along this path. He once said when he looked at one of his guitars in the store front window, that he felt he wasn't worthy enough to play such a beautiful instrument. You talk about being humbled.
c'est aussi le meilleur chanteur et d eloin
yessssssssss
Your eloquence with words pays tribute to Mark.
ditto buddy
Exactly
He is like fine wine, improves with age.
@phdfxwg Fischercat looking at him playing sultan's of swing in 1985 compared to now hes gotten really slow
Mark’s fingers makes any guitar sound fantastic, could listen to him for hours.
Complete blend of Rock Pop Reggae Jazz and Blues. That’s what i hear.👏👏👏👍🏽
I saw Dire Straits in Glasgow on the 'Every Street' tour, early 1990's, and saw Mark on this tour last year in Newcastle, UK. MK was back then, and still remains THE Master of the Universe!!!!!
Totally agree
Heya, Mark and all, I'm watching this video during the Corona Virus quarantine, have 54 years under my belt, and ya'll make make me feel like a teenager again, thank you so so much!
62 summers
saw them at Red Rocks blue dolphin Owsley ,
still trippin
43 winters 😛
The guitar is an extension of his soul.
Yes, exactly.
He is and always will be the greatest guitar player of this planet 🎸🎸🎼🥁👍😇
Да, мне тоже нравится очень! Супер!
You mean your “favorite” on the planet ..
@@dinolisi9812 у меня много фаворитов на планете)
There are other great guitarists around like Peter Frampton, Larry Coryell. Don’t name somebody the best, it is always depending on your own taste and choice.
@@stsstz2586 that's all they did, though - state who they thought was the best. I don't know why you're being a weirdo about someone expressing their opinion, and trying to shit it down. Odd behaviour.
Imagine some kid/young adult seeing Knopfler for the first time.. They'd be like who's this old timer? Only to find out that the old timer is a guitar god!
@Paul Van der Zant Pretty damn close - but I can think of others like Eric and JJ
@@mikeharrison9399 Not saying he's not a fine musician and writer, but Eric is an overrated guitarist, in all honesty.
They still wouldn't be impressed. He'd still be an old guy to them
The band's eyes show how they admire him.
Magic love you forever mark keep playing
He's aged so well. A consummate talent.
Looks so much better older, especially without the headband 😳
What an awesome version of this song! Woaw, that Les Paul.. Yes Mark!
And to think, this song is now 40 years old.
The Lamb
Whaaaat.?
40.?
Kidding me.?
Listening to it now thinking it new.
Phew.
Great to hear this version!
40years?Am I that old?
Yeap!
Wow, I didn't know that ! I listened then, but now I hear !, 🎵🎶
One of the most amazing musicians of all time
He is a unique musician. I really appreciate that. Stands alone, Legendary.
1st time I have seen this.....speechless. Great musicians, lead by the greatest guitarist ever.
My favorite guitar player, singer, artist, human 😉 always awesome music
He was great in the 80's and is still amazing today
Une de mes chansons favorites de Mark Knopfler. Je ne croyais pas qu'on pouvait améliorer la version studio de Communique, eh bien oui, elle est ensorcelante, tout simplement. Quel musicien!
What a great Musican. !!!! This is a Star on Heaven. Thanks Mister Knopfler. Greatings from Germany Rheinland Pfalz
I’m 72 years old. There are 3 masters of the guitar that have been with me for the majority of those years, two living and one sadly passed last January. Mark Knophler, Steve Morse and Jeff Beck…each with a creative genius that is indescribable. Mark’s songwriting and musicianship is out of this world.
I might put Stevie Ray Vaughan in there somewhere... but you're right!
True genius...he is a one man band, vocals, songwriting, playing, I just admire him more and more as time goes by
love u SIR, FOREVER, thank you for your EVERITHING!!!
Domingo 10 de enero 2021.. lluvia y cuarentena..escuchando al mas grande..👍🍺

I love Mark Knopfler! He is undoubtedly one of the best guitarists ever! Love this. How can you not? Really?!

@@markknopfler6910ciao Mark!🙋😍😘💘🍀
Such a fantastic groove!!

Since i am been in the army NVA east germany 1978
Follow u in my mind 44 years
Wish u and all your relatives the best

It just never gets old. Too much is not enough.
I hope this version of this song shows up on a future cd. Mark is my favorite guitarist ever.
ghogue61 you can buy every concert of the last tour online on his page! Crystal clear sound
@@kevin4324 Thanks for the info.
We heard that first 1978 - and we knew that's something very special - till today...
This man is a true legend.☘️☘️☘️
I got so excited when he played this when I saw him in Kansas City in 2019.
DAMN.....Who can play the guitar like this! The absolute king of tone!!
This is one of the most effortlessly gorgeous, understated passages of music I've heard. Especially the first solo - just staggering.
Who else can play like this? Well, no one - MK is unique. But you could try listening to one of his mates who also does something special but different: listen right the way through and don't be tempted to put the volume up - it's best listened to intimate-style (they both are tbh - which tells us something!).

One of my favorite great songs and Mark is the Legend!!!!
Saturday, february 23, 2023. The good music's never die.
All just falls together so beautifully, with you, your hands & excellent backing band ❤
Dioooooos esto es muy grande inexplicable melodías esa guitarra habla amo
Każdy podkreśla znakomitości Konopflera jako gitarzysty. I słusznie. Ale jakim jest geniuszem jako kompozytor, tekściarz i aranżer też warto wspomnieć. Absolutny geniusz muzyczny. Dziękuję Marek.
Hard to believe but in 1979 when "Dire Straights" was a top hit we lucked into seeing Dire Straights at the UC Davis Coffee House (we were freshman, what a way to start college), seating less than 400 people. I was over the top! One of my forever favorite bands (and Mark Knopfler one of my forever favorite players). Wowie.
His voice has become more amazing 😍 God bless him ☮
THE Absolute Master Musician, MK is in a Class of his own! The myriad hours, days, weeks Years it takes to reach this level He is astounding! Thank You! Mark!
The master songwriter and the owner of the best guitar solos of all time. No one can ever hope to sound like him
Mark is one of the best of his generation, LOVE you MORE, I'll ever enjoy youre music...
Senz'altro una delle ultime grandi performance del maestro. Posso solo dire "grazie Mark", abbiamo passeggiato a braccetto in questa vita e siamo invecchiati assieme. Per me è stato un privilegio ascoltare la tua musica e spero che ci possano essere ancora tanti anni. Dio ti benedica per il talento, la passione e la serietà che hai sempre dimostrato. Il discorso che hai fatto ad Assago - Milano in occasione del tuo ultimo concerto in Italia, mi ha veramente commosso e allo stesso tempo insegnato che ogni stagione della vita va vissuta per quella che è, serenamente. Grazie Mark
Beautiful ! This man still rocks ! The tone in his guitar and playing is still astounding. Long may you play and continue making music Mark. Thanks for your tremendous songs .
Mr Knopfler Guitar + Knopfled Vocals = TimeLess Perfection.
When I listen to your music Mr. Knophler I remember my beautiful joyful years at Cal State University
What else can you say..the man is a genius ❤️pure and simple 😊
Mr Knopfler ever! Great songwriter and fantastic guitar player!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Mark Knopfler can find the timeless instrumentality of a song to lure the ancestors' memories of the glories of sound amid a tortuous life...the beauty of a song to ease the mind into a hinterland of genetic memory and the realities of the moment. Knopfler can untangle the neurons so that a state of harmony allows you the FEEL again and THINK of the essence of this world we have made while corrupting the gift our God presented us. A profound writer with a God given talent and mastery of the guitar with generations of performances as proof.
Totally agree. I´m Argentinean. Best regards!
Communique, Dire Straits, Making Movies...3 albums you just have to own
Man I grew to loath Making Movies! I loved Dire Straits when they first came out. Their first album got so much air play on KATT, I was stationed at Tinker AFB in OKC. Communique came out and got virtually no air play since the first album was still so hot (which was too bad, Communique is excellent). Anyway, when Making Movies came out KATT just beat "Roller Girl" to death. I swear they played it once an hour. I was so sick of hearing it, I never played the album thereafter. I had my love for Dire Straits re-kindled with Love over Gold. Man, Mark and team has made some really tasty stuff. A funny but sad story if I may?
I was and am living in Dallas. I had floor seats for Dire Straits on Valentines Day. I was so psyc'd for weeks in anticipation. The night of the show, the row in front of me had about a dozen really drunk chicks who felt compelled to sing every song, badly. I was so mad. I wanted to say something to them but I knew that would only have caused them to sing louder. Ruined night. Great seats. One of my favorite bands of all time. Grrrrrrrrr 👿
And love over gold
ALL of Dire Straits' albums are worthy to own.
I do...!
Love over gold, and brothers in arms too, c'mon
Unmistakable voice and style❤ OUTSTANDING!
No one better as far as I'm concerned. Some others in his class but none better~!!
David Gilmour ?
Ask him and he will tell you: Chet Atkins
On here everyday listening to this brilliant thanks again guys Wayne ecclefecan
Captivating Music. What a Band, Mark Knopfler will never be copied or equalled
I hope so
I love how mellow this version is. So smooth.
You've obviously not heard the original studio version then because he wrote the song to be mellow to begin with it was only his alchemy version that fired it up
Mark Knopfler amoooooooo ❤ que demais ❤ meu ídolo ,admiro muito seu trabalho ,amo de paixão seu timbre de voz inconfundível e admirável amoooooooo ❤ muito você beijos ❤😍 obrigada por vc existir e fazer minha vida mais feliz beijos ❤ apaixonados 💋💋💋😘😘😘❤️te adorooooo ❤😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘 vc arrasa demais ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍
Keep coming back to this. It’s one of my favourite Knopfler performances. Seems like their just rehearsing
One of the greatest unmistakable style
I have been a fan from late 70s! Always loved his magical and unique style so refreshing so joyful!
Mark wrote the songs that the strings wanted to play and every ear wanted to hear. Every tune had the world saying "how did the world exist this long without this song being written before?"
Just a tune you never get tired of. Back in the late 70s I remember a lot of fans and DJs saying that they didn't put much into this second album, it was nothing like the first, et cetera, but this song alone meant you just had to buy the album.
This song will touch 10 million hits...and I will comment again! :)...What a legend Mark Knopfler!
Absolutely brilliant.
Have to love the old school early Dire Straits albums.
Water of love,down to the waterline,southbound etc
The original Dire Straits was his best work IMHO. Mark, his brother David, Pick Withers and John Illsley set the musical world on it's ear in 1978 while single handedly killing Disco. He sounds great as a solo artist and sounds good on a Les Paul, but he excels on the Strat along with the amazing stark haunting beauty of those four musicians whose music has never been equaled.

Sweet LORD. Mark Knopfler is beyond imagination. No one is like him.
