A guy that I used to play with was absolutely obsessed with him. They had very similar finger picking styles. He used to beg us to play this with him. We got to where we actually had a really tight cover of it. We used to play it for sound check. It was good because everyone has distinct parts. He had the solos down. Not me, I'm like "guitar George". I play chords with a pick ..... Boring I know. Usually though for soundcheck you play like 1 minute just to tweek the levels and everything. So we're in this bar one night doing soundcheck, and the soundguy never stopped us. He was amazed that we were a 4 piece and everyone was good enough to actually play that entire song. He was a fan after that.
I have to come get my Sultans of Swing fix every so often - it's just such an exceptional, evocative song in every way. The lyrics put you in every roadhouse you ever wandered into. Needless to say, Mark Knopfler's guitar performance is a lyrical classic.
Summer of '79, a three month hippy honeymoon across Europe. It's around midnight and we're running through the Munich train station trying to catch an overnight to Vienna. Sultans of Swing is playing through the station loud speakers at full volume. First time hearing it. The feeling of euphoria is still there...over 40 years later.
This song and performance is as relevant today as it was 42 years ago, only much more appreciated as a timeless piece of music history! Thank you Mark and the Dire Straits crew.
Lovely to see how much Mark is enjoying this performance! And just improvises his bridging licks with that fluid mastery of his guitar. One of the joys of watching Mark is the different ways he plays his songs!
The whole album just came out of the blue, landing smack in the middle of dying 70's dinosaurs, snarling insipid talentless punks, and cookie cutter corporate rockers. Dire Straits might as well have come from another stsr system. Their music was so different and yet so timeless and familar. I love the feel of this album. It has a warmth, a whiteness, a kind of authentic purity. The only other record that matches it in terms of this feel is Television's eponymous third album--another classic for anyone who loves great guitar playing.
I'm dancing/tapping to the tune.. even lying in bed...whenever i hear this original version of the young MK...thank you MK for creating this wonderful song!
Knopfler's Strat sound is nothing less than iconic. With so many things that he's throwing out there, you almost miss the iconic P-bass sound coming from the bass player. Such a great song. I could listen to Knopfler for days.
I think so, IIRC. I believe in Rolling Stones Magazine a while back, when they asked many of the greatest guitarist alive then to vote in their opinions of the greatest solos, this was up there but it was beat out by the Hotel California solo. That one speaks to you. I love the note selections in this one, as well.
Wow wow..great Mark Knopfler..it is not easy to rule the world of music for so long..this is masterpiece..Sultans of Swing with his fingers doing magic on guitar..still there is no one to equal him..love from Pakistan..🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
I lived in West Germany at the time and remember seeing this performance on the TV programme Rockpalast. About the only watchable entertainment programme at the time. Magic.
I remember listening to the song in 1978 for the first time. Never heard of the band before never heard a prior song from them before it wasn't like some songs where they need to grow on you this was an instant smash!
@@zorkan111 you are either a metalhead, or a meathead.. metal guitarists are cool I guess, but mark is playing a real guitar. Not some shred stick with active pickups. This dude is one of the best ever.. he didn’t have CZcams to teach him
@@williamherd7251 I agree that Knopfler is one of the best, but you don't have to put down other genre of music to prop him up. "Shred sticks" are real guitars too and nothing wrong with active pickups either. BTW Mark Knopfler uses active pickups too, and so does David Gilmour so I guess they're not playing a real guitar. As for speed, I agree with Eqinor that this is not a fast song, even for a non metal song.
In 44 years does anyone think people will still be listening to any current hit today? Really hope music comes back to great sound like this sometime soon.
He is alien like!I think he is better than Clapton, who is rated 2nd in the world!! Jimi Hendrix is of course number 1 in the.world. I saw him in 1973 and he played guitar with his teeth!! Could not believe what I was seeing!! R.I.P. JIMI!!
I Disagree with you Shelia Roxanne. This Group is #1. Even the Battles woups have grabbed them up if possible So u r so WRONG ON THIS !! This Group can OUTPLAY, them THEM ALL 👍👍👍👍
The first time I heard this song was the summer of 1978. I was in the backseat of my dad's 77 Chevrolet Caprice 4 door, while driving along the shore line of Grand Traverse Bay Michigan. It was late afternoon and we were on vacation going to our hotel on the bay. I told my dad to turn up the volume and he did and me, dad, mom and older sister rocked out to it. Well, at least me and my sister did, but our parent didn't seem to mind the song. To this day when I hear this song, it takes me back to that moment. Good times!
K. W. Churchill Over the years, it's a memory that has just kept repeating in my head every single time I hear the song. It's just one of those songs that is intrinsically linked to a moment in time. I thought it was the most badass thing I ever heard in my life up until that point.
Wow Mark, i was in my rebel teens when i partied with my friends and came across these songs. Been listening to you since and passed passed your songs to my kids and now enjoy hearing my grandkids listening to you. Love you Mark, thank you for carrying me through my best years with your music.
Here is a song that my friend Bobby wrote and he was also playing in the band Mechanize, but I believe they recently broke up. Here's that song: czcams.com/video/8-HRyh_04rk/video.html
My entire teenage years were in the decade of the 1970's. I am so blessed to have grown up with the best bands of all time, drove American made muscle cars, raced two stroke motorcycles and hung out with girls wearing hip hugger bell bottom jeans and platform shoes. Thank you Lord.
I was at college when this was released. Along with Pink Floyd's "The Wall", Sultans of Swing was the soundtrack to that period. We had heard nothing like it before and it has become a timeless classic.
this 1979 video really shows how good mark knopfler was, is, and will be. his effortless embellishing of his own song as we know it, is fantastic. the runs are beautiful.
+Stephen Chase it's really great to have youtube to compare how his performance of the song has evolved, while this is not one of my favorite versions, it is interesting to contemplate that perhaps that audience may have appreciated this performance, now over 35 years old to the ones performed more recently, point being that time and place are also relevant to how it is perceived. (I love the look of the audience, so great to see the style of the day in all its glory!!)
I have the wonderful memory of stage crewing for these guys at Trent Poly. Might have been 1979 or 1980. I still have the broken drum stick from the gig and the tour badge. Shortly afterwards they became huge and you couldn't get a ticket for any of their gigs . Happy days.
The first time i ever head this song was in summer of 1420, as i was about to joust in a seemingly hopeless battle. This song pulled me through and follows me to this day.
Grew up with my father playing dire straits, this song stuck with me, me being 25 now he passed away two months ago, my father lives on through the music I play.
My dad hated music for the most part. He only likes Dire Straits. Every time we go out on the boat he'd tell me to throw in the cassette tape, and I never realized how that would stick with me. I miss him so much. God bless you, and I'm so glad that you have the music and the memories!
Mark Knopfler is so underappreciated. That picking technique is some really cool stuff and the way he just casually sends out those licks in between vocals is just great.
@@blairlohnes8103 Well, Chet Atkins noticed how good he is. Finger pickers are rare in the rock n roll world. Atkins said he was the best vibrato picker he ever heard, and made an album with him.
@@mikedegregorio9113 Still amazes me that he never used a pick to play this. In hindsight, I guess I can hear it after watching this. I guess I've only associated not using a pick with classical and Spanish flamenco guitar. After 20 years of learning music, I still have much to learn, and I hope I will after another 20. It's like a game you just get better at but never really win. Thanks for pointing that fact out, definitely adds some validity to his legacy in rock.
Wow this is nuts. The singer is the lead guitarist at the same time. I never pictured it like that. I learned this song on guitar a while back... but playing it like that *while doing vocals* ... that's just on another level. Unbelievable talent.
One of their best songs. Mark was sitting in a bar when on tv he saw the name of a jazz band called The Sultans Of Swing. Today at age 70, Mark still plays well. Doesnt move much anymore, but age has only improved that great talent in Mark Knopler. Long live Mark Knopler and thanks Mark for all the lovely songs you have given us.
What a talent! I love how every short phrase sung is answered by a quick fantastic guitar riff, until the guitar just finally takes over in full at the end.
Что,вы,мне подсунули!? Мой,любимый Марк! Я,счастлив,что был на его концерте в Питере,когда у него одна ударная кухня сломалась,и мы с ним все пили, чай,пока,её чинили... Обожаю эту группу с самого начала 80-х,когда её услышал...
I just absolutely freakin' LOVE how they end the song on a high during a solo instead of fading out... leaves you jammin' on cloud 9 with a crazy hype.... \m/!!!
Takes me back to when I was 19 driving on the open South African (Eastern Transvaal) roads with the sunroof open and the radio blaring Sultans of Swing. Good Times. A life time ago.
My favorite guitar player in the whole world. Mark K. is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark has a God given talent for sure.
This song is a masterpiece. Nothing more, nothing less.
Mark is praised, quite logically. But the trio behind him is also really awesome.
Pick Withers is an absolute beast on those drums!!!
Very underrated though
Mark is an absolute professor of the guitar.
Yes i😎

Never again.
Every generation has there greats
Dimonds and rust

The greatest guitarist ever ❤️
Best Dire Straits period, thanks to Pick Withers.
One of the best songs in rock history. I've been a fan of it since the first day I heard it. One of my all time favs :)
Best comment thus far ! Agree ! 👏
Mine too...
Almost hear it twice a week....the last part of guitar is the best
The whole album just came out of the blue, landing smack in the middle of dying 70's dinosaurs, snarling insipid talentless punks, and cookie cutter corporate rockers. Dire Straits might as well have come from another stsr system. Their music was so different and yet so timeless and familar. I love the feel of this album. It has a warmth, a whiteness, a kind of authentic purity. The only other record that matches it in terms of this feel is Television's eponymous third album--another classic for anyone who loves great guitar playing.
Ditto.
Agreed. I've always thought it was pretty sweet too!
Can't believe this is 1979. Seems like yesterday when then came out. Awesome guitar tone.
finally the only one who’s able to play perfectly this monstrous piece of guitar masterpiece
well he did write it!
....the youth are lost..fool
This is by all means the definitive version of this song!
Timeless. It never gets old hearing this year after year.
I agree
To those wonderful years of genuine music .Mark Freuder Knopfler you're a LEGEND
This is a song I will NEVER get sick of!
I'm dancing/tapping to the tune.. even lying in bed...whenever i hear this original version of the young MK...thank you MK for creating this wonderful song!

a must be amongst the top 5 of all time best guitar solos

This and “free bird” by Lynrd Skynrd
Listen to Sultans of Swing Alchemy live. 5 minutes of instruments at the end of the song. You'll love it I promise
Don’t understand, could you tell me the second, third, forth and fifth. I I think what comes next is sixth
One of 30 best songs from 70's
Classic for the ages. So good.
This song earned it's place in universal history.
Without a doubt one of the greatest rock songs ever written
This song was a breath of fresh air ......in the disco era......of 1979.
Punk killed Disco, and this one killed punk!
Wow wow..great Mark Knopfler..it is not easy to rule the world of music for so long..this is masterpiece..Sultans of Swing with his fingers doing magic on guitar..still there is no one to equal him..love from Pakistan..🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

Mark Knopfler made the decade, made history. What would life be without this solo and this track? Wasted.
He is a master!
Totally correct. This guy. Is a genius. What a talent. I play this track over and over again.
Many have written eloquent words to this song... I simply say it's a master piece...!
This song never gets old. Way ahead of it’s time. And it doesn’t rely on repetitive choruses, just great lyrics and stunning guitar work.
😊
Yes🙌 to all of that
All the band do and amazing work ...😊
One of the best Guitaring Hooks ever in R&R History!
The final solo is one of the best written of all time.
My all time fav. Guiter solo
The best guiter solo ever
Yup that finale gets me every time ever since I first heard it, I get frozen in time whenever I hear it!

Pick Withers really is the Knopfler of drums.

You can thank Louis Armstrong for that! Fact!
The solo notes of the verse are during the voce breaks, nothing impossible 🤷🏻
Rok 1978? To dziś dziwna muzyka? Nie- ponadczasowa! Chwała Dire Straits, bo i tu wówczas za żelazną kurtyną znałem tę muzę
Только гении создают простые мелодии..Её легко набрать..Но невозможно сочинить..Марк-гений,однозначно!
His mind & body are perfectly coordinated. So relaxed = so powerful. He is using just the amount of effort needed and the sound just flows. A master.
42 years ago. My god where has the time gone
Yep, took a nap now im old.
Excelente banda desde 1985 quando eu tinha 15 anos de idade já curtia dire Straits e sempre vou curtir dire Straits para sempre
One of their best songs. Mark was sitting in a bar when on tv he saw the name of a jazz band called The Sultans Of Swing.
Today at age 70, Mark still plays well. Doesnt move much anymore, but age has only improved that great talent in Mark Knopler. Long live Mark Knopler and thanks Mark for all the lovely songs you have given us.
