Can’t agree more. I’ve only recently discovered this genre of RUclips - generation Z (or whatever) discovering they don’t know diddly squat about Rock and Roll. Love it!
Dire Straits on fire! I think Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitars player ever. I agree what you say about the drummer Terry Williams. What an energy he has!
rumor says that at the audience that night, there was drummer's dad to see his son performing on stage for the first time ever in his life. So son Terry decided to STEAL THE SHOW.
@@MorenikejiTaiwo You have to check out the live version of Tunnel of Love by them. I think you'll really enjoy the 6-7 minute outro which is one of the most beautiful instrumentals you'll ever hear in a rock song.
Always cracks me up to watch people listen to Mark play for the first time. And yeah, the drummer kills it. Best live performance ever. Makes me cry. The whole package.
This particular version is one of the best live compositions ever..the musicianship is ridiculous...this concert to me is like Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same concert a masterpiece and a showcase of uber talent and skills..you have the best reactions and prettiest smile in the game..anyone not shoulder dancing or head nodding is a zombie
there are three songs on that level for me. this one, nightwish - ghost love score live at wacken 2013 and pink floyd - comfortably numb live in pompeii 2016
Look at Alan the main piano keyboard player, five rows of keys and he often plays two at a time and can only see one. These guys are all talented and brilliant.
What a great reaction to this epic performance! Author Douglas Adams described it perfectly “Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff drink.”. Thank you for your energy and emotions, it really made my night. Cheers from Sweden!
Great reaction. To play a clean guitar that fast without distortion or tapping is a skill that all guitarists aspire to, but many fall short of. Mark Knopfler is one of the true greats.
And not just the chops, but the musicianship he employs them in service of. I can't think of another guitarist who has ever played a piece that was both so technically brilliant and so undeniably gorgeous in the context of the melody it was being played around. Lots of guitarists can shred, although few at this level, but to do it in a way that not only doesn't overshadow the song itself, but actually elevates it, and to this degree? What can you even say?
@@michaelccozens Check out george Benson, absolutely clean and brilliant. I saw him in London do this kind of playing while doing the Chuck Berry hop across the stage, even the string section of the London Philarmonic that he brought along were stunned
Terry Williams on drums going ape because his dad was in the audience and it was the first time he had heard his son play. Absolute magic. Great Reaction!!
What makes Mark Knopfler even more amazing than the music that he plays is that his virtuoso guitar work is pure feel... the man makes 6 strings sound like that without a pick! He (and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham) are two guitarists who make musical magic plucking the strings by hand. Simply phenomenal.
What an absolutely wonderful and genuinely heartfelt reaction to genius. I'm 63 and have loved this band from when they emerged in the late 70s. This performance is outstanding for the all round brilliant and astounding musianship of every member. You rightly give the heads up to the brilliant Welsh wizard that is Terry Williams on drums and what can one say about Mark Knopfler that hasn't already been said. I feel so fortunate to have lived at a time when his music has graced my life. Thank you Mark and thank you for one of the best reactions I have seen. Take care. Warmest Wishes from the UK.
This song came out 43 years ago, which was the year my husband and I got together and mark Knopfler is still in my top two favorite guitarists! It brought this old woman such joy to see you enjoy it so very much! Thanks BIG BIG !
I was introduced to the Dire Straits by my sister when i was 14. I loved their music instantly. And now, being 43, this version, tjeeeee…music can’t get better than this. Technically and emotionally perfection🙂
Any song at Alchemy - this is where the guitar solos are. And the drummer!! AMAZING. Telegraph Road is my favorite. the keyboard is standout here. I enjoyed your reaction tremendously because it is was a very honest expression of surprise and sheer enjoyment of the musical talent! I never tire of replayment of any of the Dire Straits music. It's like I hear it fresh again every time.
This is by far the best live performance of this song. The whole Alchemy concert was great. Mark Knopfler is the best gitarist and a unique story teller in his songs. There are still a lot of little (or great) diamonds to discover, written and played bij him!
One of my favourite stories about Mark Knopfler is that, when "Weird" Al Yankovic asked for his blessing for Al to make a parody song of "Money for Nothing" (a song that ended up playing a big part in Al's underappreciated slapstick movie gem, "UHF"), Knopfler had only one condition; that he be the one to record the parody with Al. How do you say "no" to that?
I don’t think British music has anything to worry about as far as losing relevance is concerned, just considering how many good British bands were in the 70’s. Queen, Dire Straits, Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and half of Fleetwood Mac.
All the guys in the band played their hearts out at this concert , what an amazing set. Terry Williams on Drums was awesome , not biased even though he's from my home city 🙂. If you notice early on in the track , Mark and John turn and looked at Terry with big smiles , they knew he was smashing it . Wonderful reaction again 🙂
Mark is a remarquable song writer but he likes playing on stage live. What makes you groove is his knowledge and practice of many different styles of music he’s been taught by friends, playing in bars and listening to old blues. He’s a master in rythm, and that why his solos are so perfect. The melody could not be expressed in a better way !
My favorite version of this song, and one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Mark Knopfler (the guitarist) and Terry Williams (the drummer) are just on absolute FIRE in this.
That was one of the most beautiful and truthful reactions I've ever witnessed!! You've reacted to one of the most mythical live performances ever, that's why. The whole of the live performance from where this is taken ("Alchemy") is pretty much like that. A monument to beauty. Just saying....
Alan Clark on keyboards is fantastic. His keyboards on "Telegraph Road" from the same Alchemy performance is truly beautiful. Give if a listen. The whole song is gorgeous.
I was there that night. One of the most amazing nights of my life. MK on guitar was a total genius and I have played this time after time these last near 40 years. So glad to see you babies appreciate GREAT MUSIC!
I loved your reaction, the whole band are brilliant musicians, I agree about the drummer he's the best I've heard. I think for me this was the best live gig I've heard. My brother loved the band, he's sadly not with us anymore, I have his music collection. This band made allot of good music, and were very famous in Europe.
I remember where I was when I first heard Sultans of Swing, I was on a lunch break at college and it blew me away so much that I had goosebumps all down my arms. On my way home I went straight to the record store and bought it. Another Class reaction 🔥❤
Mark Knopfler is one of the worlds top 5 guitarists, plus he does all THAT with bare fingers, no pick, no assistance, just his fingers and finger-nails! The drummer, Terry Williams, played the set of HIS LIFE at this gig, but he is a masterful drummer anyway, but this was STRATOSPHERIC!! It can be argued that the whole band played the best set in their career here. Totally awesome, you should watch the whole gig if you can.
Great reaction, Mo! I really have never watched another reactor that really gets into the music the way you do. You definitely set the standard that no one I've seen yet can match!!!!
This is the first time I've seen a reactor tear up watching this video, it was beautiful to watch. Good music is there to bring us some joy. The drummer is absolutely KILLING it on that stage!
Oh Mo, what a wonderful reaction!❤❤ I was there when they filmed it!😎 I was 17, long hair (all gone now) second concert I ever went to (The first was the Rolling Stones) I went with a couple of guys from work. Before it started we were saying that they can't play it as well live, got that one wrong! This was amazing at the time and the audience were rocking and dancing all the way through the song. I'm not surprised that you can't sit still. Thanks for reacting to this version, its bought back wonderful memories, can't believe its 39 years ago, making myself feel old now. If you thought this was good, you need to see the Alchemy version of Telegraph Road, I still can't believe it! Thanks again, baby girl❤❤
I was in a small time band in the 90's. Our first gig we opened and closed with 12 min + versions, with improvisations of this song. We hadn't rehearsed many songs so that's how we filled the playlist. Besides, our lead guitarist loved it even more than the rest of us. The audience went wild !
"You step inside but you don't see too many faces. Steppin' in outta the rain, ya hear the jazz go down. Competition in too many other places. Way on down South, way on down South In London town. Alright." Pure unbridled , live, no autotune, absolute, no doubt masterpiece. Enjoyed this awesome reaction to yet another real rock banger. These guys are right up there and carved solidly in stone with all the other greats. Zep. Floyd. Seger. Moody Blues. Elvis. Chuck Berry. Springsteen. Heart. The Eagles. Bang. How you like it beautiful girl? And that look on your face...that pure joy, those tears that were trying to come out that you could barely hold back...that is exactly why Rock and Roll was created. There is a reason it was here. It needs to be here. We have to have it. WE HAVE TO. That real emotion. That longing for something that only Rock and Roll can evoke. It provoked the soul to show itself. It must accomplish that joy. And it does when masters of the craft lay it down like this right here. Incredible music. Dire Straits man. Just holy cow. I've no doubt that angels listen to this music in heaven.
Always nice when old music get discovered by a new generation. Fact : reporter asking prince how it feels to be the greatest gitarist He responed "dont know ask mark knopfler"
They went through the whole set without plectrums. Absolutely brill The drummer was also outstanding. Interesting fact Mark Knoffler is left handed and played right handed lead guitar.I think ♥️
So glad that you chose this version to review. There is an inferior shorter MTV video that cuts off the whole end solo. This is the best version... glad you like it!
As ABSOLUTELY STRONG as this is, it goes into super-exponential-overdrive in the context of the studio version. Listening to this in the context of the studio version playing in the background, in my head, defies my ability to put it into words. Like this beautiful young woman - I have no words.
Nice to see that Dire Straits track give you so much pleasure and got you carried away, Mo. They are from my area, in the north east of England, and are a band of which to be proud. I love it when their lyrics include places I know so well and have often walked along. If you are thinking of another Dire Straits reaction in future I could suggest many but will settle for Private Investigations, Money For Nothing and my own favourite, Skateaway. Thanks, Morenikeji. Keep well.
I’m 50 and have been feeling this song (& concert) in my soul since I first heard it in the mid 80’s. I’m impressed you did too on your 1st listen through!
GREAT REACTION 🔥🔥🔥 Every now and then everything in a live show just works. Every now and then the cameras are there to record it. This was one of them and, as you say, it's a masterpiece.
Mark Knopfler was to the 1970s what Stevie Ray Vaughn was to the 1980s. Virtuoso guitarists with unique voices playing music anyone and everyone would be blown away by. Fortunately Mark is still with us all these decades later, and he can still light it up!
Seeing your reaction said it all, torn between joy and crying, your intense delight, it was a joy to watch. This must have been their best concert ever, there are other great tracks from that same gig. Best wishes.
I don't know which is more entertaining and charming. It's either their performance, or your genuine and beautiful reaction, which I thoroughly appreciate. Thank you so much. I was 19 when this came out. I'm 63 now, but still feel 19.
Glad to see you appreciate what the drummer is up to-working for the money for sure. But, who can watch the vid when you are so lovely, such eyes, smile. Keep it up, darlin girl! Jim
Great reaction! You got the joy that so many of us receive from this transcendent performance! Hard to find a better stage performance anywhere. Masterpiece is the correct pronouncement!
Such a pleasure baby. Your reaction and the music made me cry. Decided to play "Love Over Gold" on my hi fi right after watching you. God bless and thank heavens for people like Dire Straits
Greetings from Sweden! Well for once a reaction that make me smile ( in the right way ), so much happyness and joy and you can see her feelings are real. 10/10 🤩
Watching the surprise on people's faces as Mark unleashes his legendary solo never gets old. It's like a musical gift every time!
Facts bro!

Spruce spring clean could learn a thing or two from this masterclass
Those notes. CLEAN. CRISP. CLEAR. One of the best performances EVER by any group. GENIUS.
He doesn't even look at the guitar when he's playing, he's the best guitar player EVER!!!!
Look at Alan the main piano keyboard player, five rows of keys and he often plays two at a time and can only see one. These guys are all talented and brilliant.
The genuine feelings that Morenikeji Taiwo has (8min12). Very nice too see 😃
That Drummer! I think this is one of the best live performances of the song. Masterful.
Everytime you see Dire Straits they are not only great but they are always having fun on stage
From the few videos of them that I’ve seen, this is no lie👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

They just don’t make music like that anymore,incredible stuff, 🌹
We know we are getting older when the Policemen look young and we make statements as above. 🙂
Great reaction. To play a clean guitar that fast without distortion or tapping is a skill that all guitarists aspire to, but many fall short of. Mark Knopfler is one of the true greats.
for sure, people don't realise the control you have to have over the picking hand, amazing!!

Terry Williams on drums going ape because his dad was in the audience and it was the first time he had heard his son play. Absolute magic. Great Reaction!!
Ten minutes of pure joy. You reacted like I did the first time I heard this performance.

He (and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham) are two guitarists who make musical magic plucking the strings by hand. Simply phenomenal.
The interaction between Mark Knopfler and the drummer when the song starts up again is so great, best version of that song
I didn’t get that interaction though🥲
Can’t believe it’s 36 years ago in 1986 I saw Dire Straits 8 times, they were absolutely spectacular I’ll never forget it
Makes you feel proud to be British

Mark stands looking so calm while magic flows from his fingertips.
I'd equate that with Roger Waters on the Pulse delivery of 'Comfortably Numb.'
@@Triton_Secureare you sure? Roger waters wasn't in Pink Floyd at the Pulse concert, Earls Court, Exhibition Hall, London

1st album was 1975. Punk and Dire Straits came out in same year. No contest. MK all the way.

So true💯💯💯
They remain one of the most under rated bands in rock. Great choice - so glad you enjoyed it. Brothers in Arms is a fantastic album.
Underrated, what? They are acknowledged as one of the best ever.
I agree with you, I think Dire Straits is the most underrated band ever
@@garygari439 Your understanding of music is unbelievably narrow.
Top 3 in my book but I hate to rate music. I taught college commercial art and never graded any work whether I liked it or not.
Really depends who you talk to. Anybody with any sense knows about em, they out sold queen in the 80s

Aside from 'Comfortably Numb' at Pulse and 'Kashmir' at 'Celebration Day. So... number three....

classic guitar rock from the 70s the best of times to be a teenager I'm 68 now and I still Rock and roll
Love over gold. It is their masterpiece in my opinion. The song Telegraph road is a epic journey to be embraced by.
I don't know which is more entertaining and charming. It's either their performance, or your genuine and beautiful reaction, which I thoroughly appreciate. Thank you so much. I was 19 when this came out. I'm 63 now, but still feel 19.

This song is special. It's almost like three separate songs moving along in their own tempo within the same song.
I was at this gig with my friend Rob....... RIP Rob.. Never forget the show or falling off his shoulders during this song.
Mark Knopfler is a tease on that guitar. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!!!!!
Now that is great , live , no editing just talent,
Have seen this performance so many times but watching with you was my favourite. 🥳
The best live of one of the best songs... ever.
Dire Straits. Nuff said. Our favorite Baby Girl got to react to this great band.
Great reaction! You got the joy that so many of us receive from this transcendent performance! Hard to find a better stage performance anywhere. Masterpiece is the correct pronouncement!
Such a pleasure baby. Your reaction and the music made me cry.
Decided to play "Love Over Gold" on my hi fi right after watching you. God bless and thank heavens for people like Dire Straits
Beauty is this woman. Expression is true in music and this band brought it
Greetings from Sweden!
Well for once a reaction that make me smile ( in the right way ), so much happyness and joy and you can see her feelings are real. 10/10 🤩
I've said before, maybe the best live performance ever recorded... Your reaction is priceless!
I loved your emotional reaction! There is something about the sweet tone Knopfler gets that causes that wonderful feeling!
One of the absolute best performances captured on video. Magnificent.
