Go to guitar solo @5:17. This is when the girl on the steps stops writing her notes and looks up in awe; a guy with a beard walks by and stares in amazement without breaking step or looking where he's going. And of course this is the time the old guy chooses to ask the artist for change.
I also came across randomly. After that i saw almost all of his videos and was enjoying so much. It is heartbreaking that this talented Person is no more wit us. But he made a lot of people happy with his Guitar. RIP dear Brother 🙏. Your fan from Kazakhstan
Wilian was so good ... what a national treasure, to be out playing in publc like that ... whoever saw, whoever heard him should consider themselves blessed
Ola hermanos brasilieros! Willian Lee was astonishing. Many cover versions of this song exist and some are really good (Gabi Quevodo Mary Spender Josh Turner etc.). But nobody nails it like Willian...gravel voice and glorious rich guitar skill. I learned of Willian too late and when I sought his street art in SanPa in 2017 it was too late. I saw Mark Knopfler in concert several times and I hope MK sees this epic tribute performed on the streets of SP. Maravilloso Willian! Descanze em paz guitarrista maestro...nunca se esqueça..
I came across this video just randomly and after watching this and reading the comments about his passing away, I realised that good people with beautiful heart and soul leave this life too early 😓 one of the best cover of my favourite song 👍👌
I think this is in Rio brazil this shows how great a song world wide they know it and it helps that the man played it nite for note with perfect timing with guitar and vocals . Thank you for posting ..it is so great to hear a song played by someone who does it well
I come back to this from time to time, to marvel at how good this gentleman is. One of the best covers of one of the greatest songs ever. I hope he's resting in peace and that he's still rocking his guitar wherever he is.
saudades de ir passear na santa efigenia e ficar ouvindo ele tocar, eu sempre parava e ficava alguns minutos lá. certo dia comprei o cd e recebi das mãos dele, cd que guardo até hoje como lembrança desse grande guitarrista que se foi cedo.
Um monstro. Toca, canta e faz o solo conversando com as pessoas. Um Deus da música que partiu cedo. Esse vídeo me enche de alegria e de tristeza ao mesmo tempo. Juro por Deus que não tem uma vez que eu vejo esse vídeo e não termino com lágrimas nos olhos. Descanse em paz mestre.
Bravo sir! This is amazing. Playing, singing and talking to people too from time to time. Put a little bit of his own variation at the end too. Got to be a proper professional. Sorry to see in the comments that he is no more.
Oh no. Such a great loss. So sad. I hope to hear him play in heaven . God gave William an awesome talent. All good things come from God. I also listen to David Levi. We have been blessed to hear great people .
There's no doubt that you are now in the ultimate band. I can't count the number of people I've shared your videos with. Next time I hear thunder, I'll know it's you.
¡Camarada, tremendísimo señor!. Debo haberles dado por impulso dislike a unas 10 personas anteriores que vi aquí en el CZcams, y es que seamos honestos, no cualquiera se avienta bien este torito, debe sonar como es ¡carajo!. Sin duda, he aquí uno de los mejores.
William Lee was an amazing guitarist! I feel bad he is not sharing his art in the streets and elsewhere in Brazil :( This is one my favorite versions for sure. The other one I love is by a guy that I think is either brazilian or latin, you might want to check the "acoustic version by Pino"
Grande *William Lee* maravilhoso cantor e excelente guitarrista.👏 Para todo o sempre da minha vida vou lhe assistir e ouvir e meus filhos irão continuar o legado... •ETERNO•🖤
The only person I've heard play this song better is Mark Knopfler himself. Rest in peace, Mr. Lee.
RIP WILIAN LEE 🕊
RIP sir, may you play with the legends up there

All this while being very polite and saying obrigado to everyone giving him something. Respect!
I miss this wonderful musician. There must be guitars in Heaven.
Is he dead??
The best man to play this song after Knopfler himself. Simply majestic. Keep rockin' in heaven, legend. 🕊🎸

Yeah buddy, I really do agree with you !!! He's a legend!!!

Bravo! The best part is seeing that the guitarist enjoys himself. It draws the audience deeper into the magic of the music.

O mundo precisa te conhecer, monstro demaaaais, que nostalgia boa da época que meus tios escutavam essa música quando eu era pequeno.
Infelizmente ele já se foi amigo, mas podemos compartilhar esse belo trabalho dele para sempre.

Willian lee usava dedeira, o Mark só unhas mesmo.
