This was the encore.
I was in the audience, on the balcony and we didn't think they'd play this because it seemed too complicated.
As you can see, they did and all the way through we were saying "I can't believe they're playing this.
It was awesome
Lucky you.
My god you lucky bugger!
This and a Queen concert (Wembley 86) or Live Aid would be my choices if I could go back in time!
It’s just not the same now!
Jealous!!!!!!
Do you know how fortunate you are?
Jealous! What a great memory for you! I've seen Dire Straits once, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during their Brothers in Arms tour. But I don't remember it being as phenomenal as the one you were fortunate enough to attend. This was phenomenal, as was Sultans of Swing. Terry Williams was just incredible on drums.
I'm Italian.
I, like some of my friends, consider Telegraph Road the most beautiful piece of music in history, I'm sorry that many don't know it because of its duration and consequently never played that we eat what we are given and not we choose it more. Thanks Mark, always.
I listened to these records when they first came out--an amazing performing band, but sophisticated and emotional song writing. They were absolute originals. Try "Tunnel of Love" next--you won't be disappointed.
Mark Knopfler apart from being one of the greatest guitar players of all time he's also one of the most amazing songwriters ever
Next up… Tunnel of Love alchemy live for a 5 minute guitar outro of absolute perfection
Great that you reacted to this so quickly after Sultans of Swing. Thank you Rainey! Dire Straits were one of the finest bands that ever stepped on a stage. Their performances are truly legendary and the best bit is you are only just starting your journey of discovering them. Maybe try Brothers in Arms" live from wembley at the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday celebration? It will knock your socks off with the shear emotion!
I think this was the encore after they had performed a 3 hour concert with no warm-up band. Mark was a perfectionist and would book out a rehearsal room for a couple of weeks before a tour so the band were practised to the point where they knew every note and every nuance of every song inside out. On stage they could put all the effort into putting on a great show for the audience.
Also this show was on their home turf where the audience could practically sing the songs with them. I'm just sorry I missed it!
I saw an interview with rhythm guitarist Hal Lindes recently and he said that normally his experience working with other bands was a couple of weeks of rehearsals before heading out on tour, but with Mark and Dire Straits it was more than a couple of months!
I also read that Eric Clapton went to every one of their shows for 2 weeks straight, probably during their 1985 stint at Wembley Arena, simply to marvel at how Mark was able to essentially play all the solos virtually identically note-for-note every single night. In later years Mark started improvising a lot more, but in those earlier days he very much had that perfectionist streak hence all that practice. I think he eventually found a happy balance because he also talked once about how he got home after a gig and wasn't happy and while talking things through with his wife came to realise it was because by just improvising he'd lost certain elements and phrasing from songs that were integral to them. So, for example, Sultans of Swing has to include that riff and the time bell chord etc. or it just isn't 'right'. Since then he improvises certain parts but always ensures the key melodies and riffs are incorporated.
Notice how clean Marks playing is. No distortion to hide behind no electronic tinkering. Just talent. No pic either . Watch his right hand,it looks so effortless.
A new fan is born! Glad to find this one fresh.
I always liked the song and Knophler's guitar work. I thought, wow it would fit the Telegraph road where I live. Almost two generations later I found out it was about the road where I live.
I first discovered Dire Straits in 1980 and every evening I would give myself a concert by playing the 2 albums - I was addicted !
Over the next 3 years my training and education took over my life and took me away from listening to this band.
In this last 2 weeks November 2023 I have rediscovered Dire Straits only to find I MISSED THEIR BEST YEARS 1983 TO 1996 !!!
Soon after 1983 (I don’t know exactly when) they acquired a saxophone player and when I got used to the sax in Sultans Of Swing and many other numbers it became embedded in my ears (I’m talking in November 2023!) and as the years went by other instruments were introduced and melded into the group perfectly - each and every time adding to the richness of the music. In this performance above were 5 (keyboards and piano; drums, and 3 guitars) but in one of the later iterations of the band I counted 12 ! One gig included a string quartet; another a choir; additional members brought with them bouzouki; accordion; tambourine, double lap steel guitar, maraca, flute, and others.
If you have not already listened to ‘Brothers In Arms’, this has to be your next review!
Mark Knopfler (pronounced nop-fler) developed the sophistication, breadth and depth of the group through time. Ultimately (???) the best concert they gave may have been the Nimes concert in 1992. czcams.com/video/LA2eQf2WsSc/video.htmlsi=RklrIZgallqO5CP7
Can you imagine delivering this at the end of a 2 hour concert? Pure musical brilliance from all - exhausted as they may have been!
Damn I was a lucky gal to see them live numerous times when I was young.
I’m 74 me too ❤
You cant really go wrong with Dire Straits. I saw them live in 1985 aged 16, and it's still my favourite concert. I dont know why it doesn't get recommended very often but the live version of "On Every Street" is simply gorgeous, and definitely worth a reaction.
Private Investigations live in 1993 is an amazing performance
"best thing I've ever heard". Spot on.
This crowd is "involved" because cell phones were not invented then. Plus this is pure live talent on stage and doesn't get any better.
Once Upon A Time In The West from the same concert, Calling Elvis and Brothers In Arms from DIRE STRAITS- Live "On The Night" 1993 are on the same level of awesomeness. Love your channel and reaction. Cheers, all the best from Australia 😊🎸🎸🎸 PS. That guitar at the start is called a National Dualean if my spelling is correct from the 1930's. 😮
Echoing the Brothers in Arms from the "On the night"live concert; much better sound production than the Nelson Mondela concert
Private investigations live from On the Night. Epic!!
Dire Straits a great set played at Live Aid at Wembley including Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing - it gets overlooked because they were on prior toa performance by Queen where Freddie Mercury effectively said, "it's my stadium, you're all welcome"
Imagine living in London and NOT experiencing Dire Straits’ amazing Alchemy concert, Pink Floyd’s Pulse concert at Earls Court, or Live Aid at Wembley. well, I managed just that 😭😭😭😭. Can’t imagine we’ll ever see the like again. Thanks for another good reaction. Liked and subscribed 🇬🇧
Thanks - great reaction. And great to see some of you younger people appreciate these artists.
You should definitely hear Tunnel of love, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway, Love over gold, ...- I could go on and on.
I have heard these songs and albums 100s of times and I'm still blown away every time
This song so reminds me of Detroit. It tells the story of that town so dead on!
Telegraph Road is route 24 through Michigan, Mark Knopfler wrote this song after driving down that road while on tour in the US.
"Tunnel of love" from the 1985 Wembley concert is also epic czcams.com/video/fuH8LA_cBkc/video.html
He's talking about the Detroit leg.
Thanks for reacting to this so soon. 👍
Tunnel of Love (live at Wembley '85) next. Best guitar solo ever IMO.
Dire Straits have so many amazing songs. Different genres, all great. One of the best bands ever, if not, the best! I always loved The Walk of Life, Lady Writer and Tunnel of Love.
That crowd loved this band, their musicianship was incredible. It wasn't Taylor Swift they were going to see.
The type of guitar is called a Resonator due to the unique sound it produces. Great reaction to a fantastic band
It was a National guitar made in USA pre-war. In the days before electronic amplification, it's metal body increased its volume to allow it to be heard when played in a band setting.
Back in the 80s & 70s musicians actually were talented and made it happen.
Always worth checking out the lyrics to understand the ebb and flow of the composition. They are all related.
Do Tunnel of Love next. From the same concert.
Tunnel of love live 1985
🤩 Alchemy Tour was ☺️ so fun! 🥰🐰
Mark Knopfler would never break a guitar; he has too much love and respect for musical instruments.
Mark is pure magic and Dire Straits are the best band in the world, and if they don't want to put them at No.1, the Whole band should at least be on the podium. Mark has an unmistakable touch that makes you dream; his lyrics are refined and sophisticated, often steeped in mystery and full of ancient memories. Mark is the king of rock at once elegant and powerful, and the whole band blends into a superlative architecture. Dire Straits is so unique that it is beyond any comparison. They are just Dire Straits.
This was my jam when I was 14-15 years old (1988). I had this show on a cassete and it broke eventually.
These musicians are artists and you don't see this anymore, apart from Nightwish 🤣
I can tell you exactly why it feels different. The bands that knew turned there instruments at 441khz when all music was supposed to be 432khz. So if you like you can change any modern song 2000 and on to 441. 432 is lower in frequency and pushes a negative. This song describes humanities journey using the telegraph road as the perfect metaphor of mans expansion and ultimate loss of direction. Enjoy, like all things amazing Dire Straits will be around forever, immortalized by new listeners like yourself. Have a great thanksgiving from Australia Be safe.
I'm 52, listening to Dire Straits since I was 12, and I swear this is the first time I hear someone call this masterpiece "telephone road" 🤣🤣🤣
Ah memories - listening to Dire Straits driving around Southern England in an old Jag out of UNi in London around 1983. Makes me proud to be a Brit as it did then. We had the best bands for sure!! So good to see young people still discovering them.
The metal-front guitar Mark was playing at the beginning is a National, metal-frame acoustic. The same guitar that Paul Simon refers to in his song "Graceland" when he sings "The Mississippi River was shining like a National guitar..."
I'm 71. Back then, we had fewer distractions. What we did have was free time. We had to use the time somehow so we got good at something. Our brains were deeper. Now they are wider.
I was there for that concert 35 deep from front row. Had to have been 50 thousand minimum
I was on my feet rockin' with ya son! Both songs! Sorry you missed all our great music back in time, try the 70's 🎸Pink Floyd,🎸 Fleetwood Mac🎸 to name a few. Thank you for taking me back "to the good old days"!💯
Springsteen. Jungleland from 1975. If you like piano, guitars and one of the greatest sax solos of all time!
Check out full versions of tunnel of love live
Fantastic Dire Straits performance, Mark Knopfler was on fire 🔥 Alan Clark on piano was great too. Next check out Tunnel of Love from the Wembley concert.
🤗 I wish more folks reacted to this very underrated DS song. Most just do their "Top 40 MTV Songs". But this & "Roller Girl" quickly became like 😌 #ComfortFood I wore out the grooves on my Extended Version of Roller Girl! Bought it at Crazy Eddie's after seeing them perform it live. 🤔 The 45' is like a tease leaving you wanting more of Mark & his 🥰 tasty guitar licks! 😁🐰
You have just watched greatness, A masterpiece epic god like call it what you like possibly the greatest concert recorded
Try Brothers in Arms from on the night that's superb along with Romeo and Juliet the sax solo is mind blowingly good
Mark Knopfler performed at Madison Square Garden in 2019. I was there! Loved them since the 70's!
Next reaction ...... Tunnel of love!!!!
❤
Thanks, brother. You and Mark click.
The guitar he plays first is is steel guitar ❤
He did not break the guitar!
The 80's. ..when bands were bands not just pretty boys with no talent
1980s: people read books and talked to each other face to face.
Tunnel of Love next
its a 'resonator' guitar
Mark Knopfler is top 10 guitarist ever
That's a Dobro guitar, it has a metal resonator on it to give it that sound.
Actually it's a 1930s National Style O. Both resonators, just made by different manufacturers. I seem to recall the construction of the resonator discs are slightly different between the two but they certainly look very similar overall.
You just have to react to Tunnel of Love from the same gig , it’s legendary , you won’t be disappointed
OK: next is Brothers in Arms. Studio version is amazing...concert versions might be even better. You'll be moved.
Money for nothing next, not live just studio, one of the best guitar riffs ever
Sky Arts have just done a survey of the top guitar riffs of all time. Money for Nothing came in at number 5... two places below Sultans of Swing. Bizarrely both were beaten by Purple Rain, which I wouldn't regard as a riff-driven song at all!
No 'likes" were harmed in the making of this video...🤣
Steel guitar
I’m afraid it’s stuff like this with no autotune or corrective technology of any kind that shows (and I’m not very old) that music now isn’t as good as it clearly once was.
Not sure why, perhaps the commercialism has stunted the ability of artists and groups to experiment (for example can you imagine a label letting their group release a bohemian rhapsody today - no…)!
Shame…
I did say you would be amazed lol😂
If you want the best...listen to "Money for Nothing" Dire Straits
Did he break the guitar lol
Your a nightmare you love your own voice
You need to check out Metallica Live in Russia 1991 if you want to see crowd involvement on steroids!
Why the 'F' would you cover the video if you're going to pause 20 times? - Makes no 'F-n' sense!
they gotta do it for copyright reasons.
I don't buy it. This dude is way too expressive. Dude is full of doo doo.
Good reaction bro amazing song
Peace from France, to all the Great Music fans😂It's cool to see young peoples listening to great music.....A kind of Magic, like was singing QUEEN😂....Hope your followers will talk to you about, Pink Floyd, LED Zeppelin, JIMI HENDRIX, Chopin, etc....✌️😂
