My favorite performance of that song! 🥰

[Guns]

My tears have ran out. Will never forget or stop love for Mark.

[stratman]

Oh my Gawd! Mark is human after all! In the first solo he tries to play the solo that fits over the outro section. The bass player probably thought he was off. That'll get yer attention! Oops!! You don't see that every day.

Whatever...Mark is still THE MAN.

Pick Withers jumping out of the drum throne at the end 😭😭 just a ball of enthusiastic energy that brings life to the rest of this legendary band

[bradlawrenceofficial]

the Knopfler brothers on top form as ever, love it!

[jOntzohr]

I've always thought that it was Mark who played the wrong solo the first time but after listening to this version several times today, I've realized that it's actually David who started to play the chord-progression for the second solo instead of the one for the first solo. Maybe no shock, Mark never fails ;)

[morangoebanana]

Out of this world!I wish I was there to see this, that's all i can say!

[Pedozzi]

I like to see the evolution of this song, this is very similar to the studio version, it changed a lot trought the years!

[diemutha]

Finally get to see the original lineup.Thank you =)

[sciurrrus]

I saw Mark last year live @ Hallenstadion Zurich and I can say that he performs this and all other songs still as brilliant as back then!! Thanks for posting the vid! :)

@DogSwede1 I heard them, 1979 freiburg in germany and it was the best concert of a lifetime ever since.

[campanenses]

[ricrocfree]

This song is why I bought many of their albums  (:~)

[captaindillo]

ahaha pick's jump at the end was awesome

he's the best drummer ever

[juanchotazo]

I've always listened the second version of this same concert thinking that this one is wrong...no, I was wrong, this one is just diferent and show me how good guiarrist Knoplfer is, and the best improvising!! I've got so much to learn from you Mark

John Illsley's backing vocals sound quite nice in this version!

[taylorce]

I love this version of saltans but it never stays on youtube for very long.

[JimmyPagesSoloLover]

C'mon people w / this HD stuff. I live in the woods & am using DIAL UP for goodness sakes! Though I must say, Mark's great guitar playing is so well worth the waiting. Mark can make that guitar do & say just about anything. DOG, Thanks for the tunage!

[RichardWilliams-fynd]

They balls'd the first solo right up - David playing the chorus chords and Mark playing the final solo... Still freakin wicked though!
