I keep listening to their debute again and again, sometimes i dont listen to it for a few days and then i go back to it, its surreal how can a band start their carrer like this. Truly incredible
Disagree with never matched ! All of their albums are gems ! Have you ever listened to Love over gold ? Q magazine had called it the Rembrandt of rock music
+mojopin 70 I agree !!! I find it hard to listen to the later dire straits after hearing this early stuff . The band just wasnt the same after David and Pick left . This is the pure raw stuff
@@aliceroberts4808 Especially after Pick left. I know nothing of drumming, but those that do say he was very good. Listening to Terry Williams vs Pick, yeah I can see Pick was more solid/creative. Terry seemed rather run of the mill. As much as I appreciate the starkness (and for me, the true Dire Straits sound) of the first two albums (which include David), I think the addition of Alan Clark was brilliant, as his piano prowess is phenomenal (listen to Telegraph Road).
@@Niuway44 I remember the first time I heard the song on the radio many years ago.. I didnt catch the name of the song but that groove was so distinct it didn't take long to find it again
On all of the dire straits videos I’ve watched everyone talks about Mark’s amazing guitar playing but I don’t see no love for his VOICE! This dude is a bad ass!
I glad to rediscover the music of my youth. I followed Mark 's daughter (didn't know that was his daughter) and rediscovered such great music. Beautiful.
WOW, I never thought I would like a band so much like I like Dire Straits. I have been listenin these songs for ever and everytime i tune it, it sounds new again, everytime i tune it, i hear something dif in marks guitar.. Amazing!
Your six blade knife can do anything for you Anything you want it to One blade for breaking my heart One blade for tearing me apart Your six blade knife-do anything for you You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin Took a stone from my soul when I was lame Just so you could make me tame You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin I'd like to be free of it now - I don't want it no more I'd like to be free of it now - you know I don't want it no more Everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be A needle a wife or something that you just can't see You know it keeps you strong Yes and it'll do me wrong Your six blade knife - do anything for you
That's cool and hell ! does it swing ! Swing is gonna live forever with such youngsters. Mr. Knopfler is one of the great guitarists we are graced to listen to today.
the part after he says "you know i dont want it no more" followed by the sound of the guitar. if that's not the perfect sound to illustrate what its like to be 21 or 22 i don't know what is . that's youth perfectly captured in music .
Everything was so sincere then... Just the four of them; no touring musicians, no synthesizers, no '80ies baby-boomers to satisfy. Imagine the laid-back vibe there must have been at these gigs!
Couldn't agree more..Marks lyrics are fantastic..I worked in Soho in years gone past..the words of Walking in the wild west end..take me right back there..I saw exactly what he's singing about...gives me goosebumps..
i think that the song is about the guitar.. (6 strings) expression to love. hate. passion,, even addiction about playing the guitar.. or love.... everybody got a knife,, a needle,, a wife,, something you can't see!!!
Thank you for this HD vid!!! I'm totally agree with Blakelin26, a lot of videos diseapear and removed from YT! But this one exist for the moment, so enjoy the wonderful music of Knopfler!
Podem dizer o que quiser...mas nunca mais se ouviu música de verdade como as de antigamente. As músicas de verdade te fazem sentir prazer em escutar, as músicas atuais são feitas em escala industrial, sem "alma", sem sentimento. Por mais músicas de verdade!
The guitar players among us will notice that Knopfler seldom, if ever, uses the trem bar on his Strat during fills or solos -- a technique so crucial to the style of David Gilmour or Jeff Beck. Instead Knopfler uses the trem bar, as far as I can tell, only to "shimmer" chords during atmospheric intros or endings. (Like I do.) In fact, at the end of this song, you'll notice Knopfler manipulates the neck of the guitar to slacken the pitch of the chord, rather than use the trem bar to achieve the same effect -- like he's playing a Les Paul, SG, Tele, or other guitar without a trem bar. I've been a rabid Mark Knopfler aficionado since 1978, and a guitar player, and I've never noticed this until now.
As a guitarist the 5th Dire Straits or should I say Mr Knopflers song I fell in Love with.....for its simplicity and the key change.....so good to see them when I was 11....

This concert should have been a live album, one of their best early performances
Incredible audio quality for the time.
Totally agree with you, the sound of this concert is amazing, the way they're playing is so cool
One of the best albums ever. Early Dire Straits was never matched later on.
I keep listening to their debute again and again, sometimes i dont listen to it for a few days and then i go back to it, its surreal how can a band start their carrer like this. Truly incredible
Never
Disagree with never matched ! All of their albums are gems ! Have you ever listened to Love over gold ? Q magazine had called it the Rembrandt of rock music
@@RedMissou, it's raw and unvarnished. Later albums suffered from overproduction, along with a different rhythm section.
0:47 smoothest lyrics and guitar riffs I’ve ever heard
i play this every night before i go to bed just to restore my faith in music
Still playing it??
No, but thanks to your comment I am watching it again now :D@@william_coduks
This aged really well
Our friend Vince plays sultans of swing everyday morning without fail.
Absolute masterpiece. Knopfler definitely has the feeling and groove.
Fantastic. To go back in time to created moments like this, priceless!
I Agree that
Wich one ?
There is definitely no other
If he did not have his skills to be there then, you would not be able to make a comment "now". If he had not been, you would not be.
Listening to it in 2020.
Still have the cassette!
This is my favorite concert!!!!! I cannot get enough!!!!
In 2020
One of the best performances of Dire, without any doubts!
Same here. One of the best guitars ever.
I've had this album since I was 12 years old, its hands down one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion....
+mojopin 70 I agree !!! I find it hard to listen to the later dire straits after hearing this early stuff . The band just wasnt the same after David and Pick left . This is the pure raw stuff
Totally agreed with it :-)
@@aliceroberts4808 agree with you on this.
Yup! Had it on vinyl, cassette, and cd. Somehow missed 8 track!
@@aliceroberts4808 Especially after Pick left. I know nothing of drumming, but those that do say he was very good. Listening to Terry Williams vs Pick, yeah I can see Pick was more solid/creative.

What a gem this debut album was ! Still sounds so fresh to date ! Unique
Haven’t heard this classic in ages. Glad I stumbled across it again.
Love that bassline
love that change and the solo at 3.17
Most underrated bass line of all time
@@Niuway44 I remember the first time I heard the song on the radio many years ago.. I didnt catch the name of the song but that groove was so distinct it didn't take long to find it again
Quarantine and good taste in music Brought me here
Amazing moment at 0:48: "oohla... anything you want it to... [amazing sound]".
Hell f'n yeah!
Yeah
The sexiest man in the world!!
He clicks like in the Zulu language. It’s the letter Q. 😁😁
Hell yeah!
Love how he plays that guitar....yea!
Recorded 42 years ago !! Great audio quality of this DS master piece. Mark Knopfler proves he belongs to the top guitarists in the world.
4:10 when he says "Yeah......" brrrr...amazing
I wish I had a man like Mark
Huhuh yeah
Most underrated bass line of all time!!
The groove is so sick, can’t stop listening!
On all of the dire straits videos I’ve watched everyone talks about Mark’s amazing guitar playing but I don’t see no love for his VOICE! This dude is a bad ass!
Mark and the red guitar whats not to like ❤❤❤❤❤🥀🥀👍
The early Dire Straits were the best!
Usually i prefer electronic stuff but this here is filled up with so much soul!
True music some would say, i say real good music! =)
0:48 - 0:53 I could keep on listen to these 5 seconds for hours and hours.
oula, everything I wanna do
I glad to rediscover the music of my youth. I followed Mark 's daughter (didn't know that was his daughter) and rediscovered such great music. Beautiful.
WOW, I never thought I would like a band so much like I like Dire Straits. I have been listenin these songs for ever and everytime i tune it, it sounds new again, everytime i tune it, i hear something dif in marks guitar.. Amazing!
Still sounding new 11 years later I bet 🤣
Agreed, especially when u take a break and then put them on again. Mind blown
Your six blade knife can do anything for you
Anything you want it to
One blade for breaking my heart
One blade for tearing me apart
Your six blade knife-do anything for you
You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
Took a stone from my soul when I was lame
Just so you could make me tame
You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
I'd like to be free of it now - I don't want it no more
I'd like to be free of it now - you know I don't want it no more
Everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be
A needle a wife or something that you just can't see
You know it keeps you strong
Yes and it'll do me wrong
Your six blade knife - do anything for you
pianodore you mean Swiss knife 😀
I get down every time it's yours, all you got to do it's just to keep it close six blade knife do anything for you
She wields a six blade knife. She cuts you anyway she can.
But always from behind your back, ya. How messed up is that? 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent color in the voice and Excellent color on the guitar...Mr. Knopfler
That's cool and hell ! does it swing ! Swing is gonna live forever with such youngsters. Mr. Knopfler is one of the great guitarists we are graced to listen to today.
You're right, of course, but three years ago, when you left this comment, the youngster in the video was a crispy 66 years old ...
timeless
the part after he says "you know i dont want it no more" followed by the sound of the guitar. if that's not the perfect sound to illustrate what its like to be 21 or 22 i don't know what is . that's youth perfectly captured in music .
MK one of my favorite guitar players of all time...
magnifique comme tout ces albums au top .
Having 9th beer with spicy chickens. Greetings from Turkey.
Perfect song with beer.
cheers bro
Them Knophler boys are getting at it again!! Mark and Pick are Groove machines!
Listening to it in 2021
.
Still learn a lot from Mark after 15 years playing guitare .. take your time, don't rush the beat and be a mood maker.
'Yea.. uh HUH huh'
-Mark Knopfler, 1979
+KARMA is Bull$hit That one time you forgot you made the comment you were about to make a year ago...
Get the feeling. That giggle in the end is really something special. :)
Mamma mia...respect from Italy!!!
He did this and romeo and juliet and nailed both "best lovesong ever" and "coolest jam ever". unreal talent.
Enjoy it in 2019❤🎧🎸
Awesome .................
Марк Нопфлер играет практически не глядя. 💖 💖 💖
So great.
Hey Mark, I am an oldie of 49 now but phroaw!!! XX
The best album ever
This inspired my song "Steel Crane" so much, wouldn't have written it if I hadn't listened to this song for hours
My absolutte favorite
What a. great band-for me one of the best of all times ...
Everything was so sincere then... Just the four of them; no touring musicians, no synthesizers, no '80ies baby-boomers to satisfy. Imagine the laid-back vibe there must have been at these gigs!

МАРК - ЭТО ЖИЗНЬ ПО НАРАСТАЮЩЕЙ, НЕ РАЗОЧАРОВЫВАЯ НИ НА СЕКУНДУ, ЭТО НА ВЕКА.
This takes me back ..beautiful.
DS forever !!!!❤
Forever and ever
i think that the song is about the guitar.. (6 strings) expression to love. hate. passion,, even addiction about playing the guitar.. or love.... everybody got a knife,, a needle,, a wife,, something you can't see!!!
Mark Knopfler is The Best Guitarrist Finger Style...Swing Total....On the Guitar!
Lindsay Buckingham says "hi"
simply STUNNING great to see them in the early years-mark hada hunger.
I like the fun atmosphere in the band in these early times. Before the pastel bandanas,
Yeah, I've decided. This is my favourite song. Just can't get enough. Should be longer. Same with Down to the Waterline
Sultans of swing is also pretty awesome
This is a song you would love to be played in a bar after midnight.
@@jeromedupays1187 Sultans of swing is a very good song, but has lost its charm because it is played too kuch in the radio.
Yep. Dire Straits, JJ Cale, and Eric Clapton.
@@monikaparmar2061 great choices there. 👌👌🤘🤘
This guy's my kryptonite
Perfect
Perfection.

Living legend. Long live Mark Knopfler...

An absolute gem of a song which is at the heart of roots rock.

But this one exist for the moment, so enjoy the wonderful music of Knopfler!
This is golden... anything off that first album is genius as far as I'm concerned.
First CD I ever bought. The record store had about 90 CD's to choose from total.
You lucky
Great. i LOVE IT.

Love the passion!

lorsque les hommes se mettent à miauler en même temps que leur guitare... quel délice!

Groovy, music of my childhood :-)
Ребята, Браво!!! Вы 30 лет мои кумиры!
It always astonishes me, how far you can get even if you cannot sing. Gutarplaying is amazing, though
Einfach nur genial... ich frag mich nur wie es den Leuten bei diesem Sound noch möglich war sich auf den Stühlen zu halten ... ;)
fantastic
wonderful
