Ladies and gentlemen this is the golden age of rock music unfortunately we couldn't see it again
This concert holds a special place for me. It was on a Saturday, I watched the show, while working actually, later that night, I met my future wife. We've been together 35 years, so I always remember that day and that concert
Lovely memory!
Suddenly, a lot of people are talking about Dire Straits right now.
They tockef!!
Why not?
Mark Knopfler during Sultans looked like a man walking his dog,not someone playing guitar in front of 75000 people. Sheer class
Saw the UK tour where Mark was 2nd gtr in the Clapton band.
I was not yet born at the time of this concert, but I am watching it now in 2024.
good idea
Right now HARD AS HELL TO THINK THAT ALL THAT TALENT THAT MAGIC COMES FROM 1 MAN……
Eric Clapton was a maestro. He fitted well on the stage without Jackson. Two of the best guitarists on the same stage and at the same time was pure madness. Pure joy to watch.
I think I love Mark’s music even more now than I did 50 years ago, if that’s possible
Keep on keep in’ on
Very possible - your appreciation of his talent has deepened. Moi aussi.
Me too
Nice❤
I know I love mark more now after so long, because I was too young to understand great Musicianship.
Terry Williams on fire, as usual.
I Love Mark Knopfler🎸🎶❤️
J'adore tous les musiciens
me too 🙌
Brothers In Arms of this set is the greatest 8 minutes of music history.
Yes. The older I get the more I appreciate this song. Love the emotion of it from start to finish.
See the emotion on knopplers face at the end of brothers in arms.classic song.bless him
Thank goodness for DIRE STRAITS ( MARK KNOPFLER )
Gooď
Terry Williams, best drummer by far.
I totally agree with you, Terry is amazing
I also agree. Terry was the best.
Yes he's a great drummer my friend, but "Phil Collins" is the best drummer ever.
Much love & Respect guys 🎸😁✌😎
FABULOUSNESS...
Tmb concordo. Pra mim foi o melhor baterista que passou pela banda.
Sem desmerecer os demais, é claro...
Powerful concert. Mark's in the mood.
Welsh Drummer Terry William's Rocking wonderfully!!!!🇬🇧
MK and EC on the same stage. Magic. Stay safe, stay sane one and all.
I was there, center stage about 10ft from the barrier... we only went to see Dre Straits , it was worth the wait.
duro vc quer ouvir e a visita na MHA casa quer mandar ATA QUEU vou dar de ouvir MHAS músicas
You Know It Was Your Lucky Day !! To Be A BB or To Say Yoi Were There! At One Of The Worlds Best Concerts Of All Time!!

Two Guitar 🎸 🎸Gods on stage at the same time. One hell of a show, wish I’d been there 😊
I won't stop hearing DIRE STRAITS until I die. They are the best of the best.
I agree they are the best of the best
@@susanrichard6913 how many Susan Richards in this world? Quite a few!!!
100% agree !!
Me either, they are the best of the best!
I heard this show on the radio and recorded it to tape. And since then must have listed to that tape on my Walkman a thousand times to the point where 30 years on I still know every note.
A wonderful piece of music history that I will remember and treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for posting the video!

Hi
I did exactly the same. It changed my life and affected me more than any other life event!
Knopfler's hair swirling everywhere, his finger-picking exemplary. Clapton nonchalantly caressing his guitar. Sultans of Swing the best live performance ever.
Love the mix of Clapton's blues and Knopfler's country sounding licks all together, best sounds on earth!!!
Fuck yeah
What are ya's Haulin???
Add Terry Williams ROCK drumming and a great performance by all
Bonjour bastion siroco je suis d'accord avec vous c'est vraiment un groupe sensationnel je suis aller les voir à l'olympia ya quelques années et maintenant marck knopfler à pris de l'âge mais cela ne fait rien je l'écoute sur CZcams
Friggin awesome. Used to get into them in late 80s in Oz. Sound even better now.
This Romeo and Juliet is simply stunning. Incredible arrangement. It’s pure magic.
Soy inmensamente feliz 😄 😁 escuchando tus temas...me encanta como tocas la guitarra 🎸 💕 la ases ablar ...me pasaría toda mi vida escuchándote..ylen prado. Todos los días te escucho Asta que muera te escucharé
Brothers in Arms .What an ending ...the best ive heard live.
How good, Mark 'Marvellous Nice Guy' Knopfler playing this time with the guy who must be the best 2nd guitarist you could ask for Mr Eric Clapton. These guys play so well together, they may well be twins, seamless no matter whose music - BRILLIANT
Wish Harrison was there too.....would have bombed it.
They switch back and forth, MK had been on tour with EC in 1987-88 as EC's backing guitarist ;)
A Great Show by the Magic Mark for the Great Mandela !🤩😍💥
This concert changed my musical life!!! So sad, that i´m getting old as well.... 32 years later....
MK changed my (not only musical) life: I remember it was my football club's birthday party; I had to go, but my fear was that I would miss the radio broadcast of this concert. I slipped away to listen to the concert on the car radio in my father's car. I had discovered Dire Straits two years before and it was really the most important thing in my teenage life. The Dire Straits phenomenon was huge at that time. It was afterwards a long time to wait and hope for a new album that finally came out in 1991. I went to the Paris Bercy concerts in 91 and 92 with my father; he was as stuck as we were by the musical level. More than 30 years later, nothing and nobody has equalled MK.
@@barrysheene3408 You´re so right. DS came the 1st time on German TV in "Plattenküche" , a 3rd level program. Lady Writer. I thought: woooow. Than the "Sultans". I loved them. But: on this concert I saw for the 1st time EC. And "Wonderful tonight" moved me to tears.
Pour moi mark Knoffler reste le meilleur guitariste au monde niveau professionnel le son de la guitare fender stratocaster depuis 1978 sultan of swing n1 des albums vendu avec plus de 60 millions un record à époque ce jeune groupe
Brothers in arms- one of the best guitar solos in the history of mankind ❤️
I agree.merci
Sí, definitamente, Dire Straits fueron de lo mejor!!! Sí
Sultans of swings is the best 👍🇬🇧
I did almost listen to every copy or version of this song easy 20 to 30 and I am confident enough to claim that this is the best ever produced. 👍
And leave no man behind. Semper Fi
7/4/1995
This is the best version of brothrs in arms n im not saying that because i was there evn tho i was there 🤗im sayin that bcause people around me was cryin the hairs on my nek stood up best guitarist n songwriter that ever lived i tip my hat to mr knopfler and the band
The best version of Romeo and Juliet...ever!
Rest in Peace Jack Francis Sonny
Must be the best live solo Mark ever deliver. On the Brothers . Even MR Clapton looks like a scoolboy. Amazing MK 🇧🇻
Simply wonderful !!!
Sei un bravo chitartista e solista auguri
40 years of listening to mark- seen him in LA just before covid. His music is so perfect- puts a smile on my soul. Thank you
It's the best drug of all lay back Dire Straits on what a fix
This music is timeless.
You Must Know This Here Is Some Of The Best Music
You Just Might Ever Hear
No Matter What If It's The Best Ever You've Heard It's Got Mark In It ! Mark In Life!!
Find talent today like this and I’m a German. Taffy from West Wales. BRILLIANT.
What a smile - genuine pleasure and joy🤙
Treat of a lifetime -- thank you very much for posting ❤
Like I say. Thank God for you tube
They couldn't know
THANK YOU GOD FOR MUSIC SOUL
If I made a website where you could watch any concert from any time period.. Would you pay to use it?
Mark KNopfler....still immaculate after all these years !!
Best version of Romeo and Juliet ever !!!!!
you should listen to the one from the 1993 live called on the night...I've heard all the R and J versions and it's by far the best one....I think that live held the best versions of all dire straits songs played in....
I know the version from On the night live very well, listend to it many times and I agree, one of the best ones. I like the Mandela one just a little bit more, the slightly different sax solo does it for me. The On the night album though, great album indeed.
What a performance, awesome! Real music, doesn't get any better than this!
eric clapton junto con jimmy page ritchie blacmore
a mi gusta zeppelin y deep purple
I saw the whole concert on german TV and stayed to see Dire Straits. This was the 1st time I sa E.C. He blew my mind with his little song (Wonderful tonite). Since than I love him as a musician as well as a human being!
42:30 when he stars the solo, the world stops
Absolutely mate, absolutely! That is not playing anymore what Mark does, it`s pure art!!!
There was only 1 terry Williams awsome 🏴🏴
should have been inc. in the HOF with Dire Straits...longest tenured drummer '82-'88
Great drummer😊
@@hilogreg5216 the way they worked it out at the HOF for the band inductions were.....each member had to feature on 2 or more dire straits albums......mark & john on 6.....david on 2....pick on 4....alan on 3....guy on 2.
I apologize, I do not know of this Terry Williams that you speak of. Is he the drummer? When I remember Mark’s drummer, I always picture Pick
Who is Terry Williams?🌹
master of guitar. both of them for sure
Super prestation un son Unique Bravo 👏
I watched this in September 1988 on TV. That was the first time I ever saw them both. Since then, I'm in love with their music and listened to this particular concert through for like a few thousand times. The coda to 'Sultans of Swing' is timeless. And 'Walk of Life' here is the best of all versions, particularly because of the boost from Clapton.
They killed it that night. Big concert , big pressure . EC was the icing
Every band member is great. Every one on that stage is icing.
I can't find the words to express 2 legends on the same stage....
Did I see Eric break a string in Money for Nothing? Most unusual. The whole video is great. Two of my favourite guitarists. Heaven!
He also broke a string in Before You Accuse Me at Knebworth in 1990.
He's called slowhand for a reason
Yes he did

E' la prima volta che lo vedo.combinazione fantastica
Super.super!!!!!
Solo Brothers in arms vale il prezzo del biglietto
Very good quality of the video. Live Aid 1985 and Mandela concert in London are the best ever music event of the last 40 years . Remember that Dire Straits and Simple Minds has dominated this Mandela concert 1988.
El Saxofonista buenísimo, es el final y el acompañamiento fantástico ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
27:52. What an incredible guitar lick. This never gets old.
Um dos melhores guitarristas da história.
Who is?
i;d only been playing guitar for 6 months when i watched this live age 14. needless to say, i was never the same afterwards. i became a professional guitarist 5 years later. i still listen to making movies and love over gold to this day. i've since seen them live, but the sounds mk got from that pensa suhr this night ... no words..
M. Knopfler , The Lengend !!
Fabulous concert!!!!
Such a great concert 🎵
Everlasting perfection! 😔
What's an amazing Concert Experience with an appreciative crowd and absolutely wonderful musicians and reverential music thank you and God bless
The two all time legends ❤😮😂🎉
Great music. Really at it's best.🎼🎼🎼🎼♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful ! Thank you for sharing!
EC on Rythym? Love Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.
Creo que fue el último concierto de Dire Straits con Terry Williams. Nunca volvió a sonar igual de bien en directo.

32:40 I love when they go in sync 😂 they make it look so effortless!!

Thank you for this amazing music! You are the BEST!🌏🌏🌏
Sempre fui fã do Dire Straits, mas essa foi a primeira vez que vi Mark Knopfler tocando! E junto com Eric clapton! Meus guitarristas preferidos eram amigos e tocavam juntos!
Eu tinha 16 anos na época. Fiquei em" estado de graça "...🙌
Realmente eles são demais, sou fã incondicional!!! Não me canso de ouvir ,
Sim.
São mestres da guitarra.
Em Money for nothing, da pra ver que Eric Clapton, mesmo com umas das cordas arrebentada, conseguiu tirar um solo magistral!
Mesmo estando sendo visto "via satélite" por todo o mundO!
@@robertofaustinohibener842 Sim é incontestável o mérito deles,que época boa!!! Só talentos!! Muito Show!! Obrigada pelas palavras.Parabéns pelo bom gosto.Adorei!!!
Tunnel of Love must be played, 1988,dire straits Best band in the world

Those were years in which Mark and Eric played together quite often and sometimes Mark played as Eric's sidekick as well.
