  It's what music was like in the 60's and 70's......no Autotune, backing tracks, no sampling etc. Just talented musicians doing what they are good at!

  I’m the same age as Mark 74 and saw them live twice back in the day 1978 & 1984 this is my favourite performance of all time and will be playing at my funeral.

  One of the best riffs ever.  Any person listening to this song, even if this isn't your genre you can't help to move to this song. It's crazy.  Timeless too.

  If you think it&apos;s insane that you&apos;re listening to a song from 45 years ago, it&apos;s even more insane that Mark Knopfler (the guy in red) just released a new album yesterday. &nbsp;That&apos;s April 12, 2024. &nbsp;He&apos;s 74 years old and still recording, although I don&apos;t think he&apos;s planning to tour anymore. &nbsp;(I&apos;m younger than he is, and I don&apos;t want to travel for work anymore either.)<br><br>In addition to his work as a singer and guitarist, he also wrote all the songs on all six Dire Straits albums. &nbsp;Then he went on write all the songs on ten solo albums. &nbsp;And he did nine film soundtracks too. &nbsp;If you start exploring his work in earnest, you&apos;re not going to run out of material any time soon

  Mark Knopfler tells a story and he let his guitar sing like no other. Especially this concert every note is perfect. Never heard anything close &nbsp;in a live concert. This song made me fan for life (35 years ago). All albums of Direstraits are original and exceptional!

  Loved your reaction. Did you notice how comfortable and easy Mark Knopfler was finger plucking his guitar like a banjo and smiling all around? Pure talent.

  This was pure talent. Mark the guitar player loves playing. He’s having the time of his life. <br>He’s a class act he got his finger pickin from Chet Adkins

  Mark Knopfler hasn&apos;t got the voice of a Freddy Mercury, Pavarotti or any other gifted vocal artist, but I&apos;ll be damned if his Dylan-esque almost talking style isn&apos;t a match made in heaven with the musical genius that was Dire Straits. For similar epic songs check out Telegraph Road from the same gig or Tunnel of Love (this or any other concert).
