    Hey man, you need to check them out live. Mark Knopfler is not only the lead singer, but he is also the lead guitarists at the same time. Phenomenal is nowhere near describing how great he is. Check it out!

    Now to truly blow your mind... This album came out in1978... when I was 19. It remains my favorite album to this day (here, let save you doing the math, I'm now 62). Second, Mark Knopfler was finger-picking that Fender Stratocaster. Now Go catch my favorite song off that album, 'Wild West End' (it is about time spent with his best friend on the west side of London). The rest of that album is... in today's vernacular...Fire! :) Enjoy your Dire Straits journey my young friend! :)

  • @jjc5407
    @jjc5407 Před 3 lety +7

    It always seems strange when youngsters say they've never heard of Dire Straits given that by the mid-80s they were probably the biggest band in the world, with their Brothers in Arms album selling 30 million copies worldwide. Over 100 million album sales in total, performed at Live Aid in '85 (having popped across the carpark to the stadium from where they were in residence at Wembley Arena), headlined the Nelson Mandela tribute concert also at Wembley Stadium, massive world tours, Grammy, Brit and MTV awards, belated induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018 (for what that's worth) etc.
    It's also amusing when Devin states 'their music careers were over before I was born'. Oh no they weren't! Mark Knopfler has released numerous solo albums, duet albums with Chet Atkins and Emmylou Harris, performed on tracks for many other musicians, toured with Bob Dylan a few years ago (having played on a couple of his albums back in the day including Infidels which he also produced) and added to his catalogue of film soundtracks (which includes The Princess Bride).
    Base player John Illsley was the only other ever-present in Dire Straits and has continued to record and perform. Rhythm guitarist David Knopfler, who left the band after he and Mark fell out, forged a decent career as a singer/songwriter mainly in Europe and as far as I know is still going. Drummer Pick Withers currently plays with a band called Slim Pickin's. And that's just the original line up. There were many other members over the course of the band's existence, all very talented. Their careers didn't end with their time in the band either.

    Oh gosh, love me some Dire Straits! Brings back some good memories. Was in my early 20's working the swing shift on a test line in an electronics factory, calibrating volt meters. Worked with a fabulous group of folks there. The hours could be long, the work repetitive, but we would all have our radios on the same station and rocking out to Dire Straits while we worked away. Funny how great tunes and good folk can make the most mundane tasks turn into a great time, and make the hours fly by. Thanks for the great tune Devin!

  • @rcinsley
    @rcinsley Před 2 lety +3

    I love this studio version, but the live recordings are more impressive -- because you get the full impact of Knopfler bouncing the solo back and forth between his voice and the guitar. Dire Straits performed what was called "pub rock." They kept the volume down because patrons were there for a pint and conversation, not a concert.

  • @wgdavis5353
    @wgdavis5353 Před 2 lety +2

    Hi Mr. D., The guitar solo in the middle and at the end of "Sultans of Swing" is some of the best U can hear..

    Mark finger picks the electric guitar-he uses his thumb and fingers instead of a guitar pick. That's how he gets that sweet, smooth sound out of the guitar. I think Chet Atkins, and old, old country singer and guitar player made that style of picking famous. Love your love of good music.

    Just for your information. It was not a banjo or any other stringed instrument. Just a plain old Fender Stratocaster electric guitar fingerpicked. Suggestion-wise if as already mentioned Sultans of Swing, Alchemy live verion (just remember wear a seat belt for that one) . Studio songs...well basically pick any... if you feel brave enough...try Tunnel of Love or Telegraph Road.

    @markharris1125 Před 2 lety

    Just one of those random CZcams suggestions and here I am! Looking down your list, there's loads of my favourite songs there - I think this is going to be fun.
    Sadly I never got to see Dire Straits, but I did fulfil a lifelong ambition and saw Mark Knopfler in concert two years ago, before 'you know'. (He's had a pretty successful solo career in the years since Dire Straits split up.) He's lost a bit of the dexterity on the guitar (along with his hair) but it was still probably the best concert I've been to in years, since Elton at Wembley anyway. He didn't do this song, unfortunately, nor a couple of my other favourites, but he did do Romeo and Juliet and the majestic Brothers In Arms.
    I agree with other people below, watch the Alchemy Live version of Sultans of Swing. Mark takes that little guitar solo from the album track and turns it into something transcendent.
    Tunnel of Love is on there too, my second favourite Dire Straits song.
    Nice reaction, a classic you might say.
