This performance was on 🔥 🔥 What a masterpiece!

I will never tire of watching this performance or watching people's reaction to seeing it for the first time.

Mark Knopfler. Imo one of the most technical guitarists in history.

[mlong]

Terry Williams, the drummer, was on fire. He was known for hitting the drums very hard. He is now retired in Wales, at the age of 75. The lead singer is Mark Knopfler, one of the best guitarists in the world.

This gig was probably one of THE BEST GIGS EVER, every single band member was on fire all at the same time, to do this Telegraph Road and Tunnel of Love on one night is just unheard of top top musicians at the very peak of their game....and moreover playing with smiles as they actually knew just how good it was

[bepo]

This is one of the best live performances ever! It's full of energy and keeps me goosebumped for the whole 10 minutes. What a performance, even after seeing this hundreds of times so far...

Keep your eye on Mark Knopfler throughout the entire video. He is directing the entire time with a look, a nod, eye is never a second that he is not in control of that stage. It is how he performs at every concert and how he leads his band. And that is what makes him 'next level.' Along with being arguably the greatest guitar musician of all time.

[PaulEngineer]

Thanks Mate! You gave us a great ride on that reaction/review. You caught most of the important stuff - Mark Knopfler's magical finger-style guitar, the band dynamics, the drummer's intensity, the story-telling aspects of the song and music. For me one of the greatest live performances recorded.

This is a superb line up. Hal was a cracking back up for Mark and John is the perfect bass foil for him. His bass lines are just right and are a delight to play. Terry's drumming in this version is sensational

[ezraburgess]

Not bad for a self taught guitarist. Go Mark Knopffler. Terry Williams's father was in the audience to see his drummer son, for the first time, perform on stage so Mark told him to go crazy, and he did. You could tell these master musicians loved their performance as much as the audience did. There is no doubting this performance was epic and I have watched it many, many times and still can't get enough.

Iam 82 and just tuned in to see what today’s music lovers think of real talent from back in the day. The guitar player in influenced by Chet Adkins

[AlexnPeter-tw]

A journalist once asked Prince how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world.
Prince is said to have replied, "I wouldn't know about that; you'd have to ask Mark Knopfler."

[chriscorbin]

Before Dire Straits Mark was in the US getting session work and was mentored by Chet Atkins. While their styles were different his influence was huge. They did an album together titled Neck and Neck which was described as two of the best guitarists in the world getting together in the basement and just making music.

the drummer is crazy, unbelievable performence👍👍👍👍this guy knows how it works

[MsGeoffh]

100% the GOAT period. I'm calling it.

[debnbhuy]

Indeed the "good old days " real musicians playing real music !!

[StevenQ]

Alchemy was 1983, the album the song was on was released in 1978. The drummer, Terry Williams, was trying a little harder at this performance since this was the first time his parents were in the audience. Terry had just joined the band after the first drummer of Dire Straits left the band after recording the "Love over gold" album. Mark Knopfler rarely uses a pick, just on a few select songs, he also wrote all Dire Straits songs. Funny thing about Mark is also that he is left handed.

But you certainly need to see more Dire Straits songs: "Telegraph Road" from the same Alchemy tour, "Tunnel of love" from the Wembley 1985 concert, "Private Investigations" and "Calling Elvis" from "On the night" in 1992.

I had this album…lived in Knopfler’s world for a year, loved this new sound, crazy beats, beautiful melodies and wow the drums!

[stillbaddad]

THIS CONCERT WAS 1983... You have to also listen to Telegraph Road from the same concert, it would be naughty not too. The Drummer Terry Williams was a master at his art. He is from Wales (Welsh) one of the greatest. Mark and his Brother are from Whitley Bay North East England 3 miles from me. They were absolutely massively respected up North before they became famous.

For me one of the best live performances by anyone ever! ❤️🇦🇺
