David Knopfler - Wild West End (written by Mark Knopfler)

Better picture and sound quality than in the first upload!

Recorded live at the "Hot Jazz Club" in Muenster, Germany on Sat. March 6th 2010. Amazing acoustic version of this old Dire Straits song from the first Dire Straits album (1978). David Knopfler guitar/vocals and Harry Bogdanovs on keyboard.

Great vocal tone and rendition of this timeless dire straits tune.

Luv this version! Wish he and Mark would make up and do something together.

Sounds Amazing !! Still cannot get over his voice and Marks are so alike !!! :)

[PixelPerfect]

I wish he and Mark would play together...

[Luknopfler]

Both brothers have the same voice, impressive. Thanks again for sharing!

[mariliacruz]

Wonderful!! No words to describe the emotion of listening this magic song. :') <3

Thanks Lukas. It was a big surprise for me when David begann playing this old DS song.

[gregorheinrich]

either the audience did not know who David was and thought it was "just another act in this live-music pub" or the tickets were not expensive enough...

[charleneguiliano]

You can tell Mark and David came from the same place.

[fairbayer]

Yes you are right. It was so much disturbing!

[hiramwillis]

Sound of first two albums dire straits

[SLAPSTICK]

Is totally disrespectful to talk while the artist is performing. Where are they playing? In the neighborhood bar? Oh, And Mark is doing stadiums for millions a pop. Unreal.

[TollGateAB]

Quite similar indeed, but with a slight difference though.
Each has something a bit personal.

Versione molto gradita. Complimenti, David

[baardk]

Thanks for sharing this :) He have his brothers voice or the brother have Davids voice :) Very cool!

Rather than what ought to have been an intimate performance by a very talented performer, I feel like what we’re listening to here is an intimate dinner being interrupted by a performance; had I been there I’d have been accordingly perturbed by the apparent indifference and rudeness to both the performers and those others wishing to listen and enjoy the performance…

[souzabaptista]

Fantastic version! Great David! The true golden blood is in the family's vains... But, I think, David is a better singer. :-)

[adlovett]

Shame he and Mark don't play together anymore.

[JTRocksEver]

Why do they perform in Europe but never America where we know and appreciate them. There are so many wonderful venues in NYC that he could have performed at, in fact he lived in upstate NY for a while and I never saw any performance publicized. What a shame.

jesus he looks and sounds totally like Mark. They ages in the same way
