My favorite guitar player in the whole world. Mark K. is the

[lolok]

finally the only one who’s able to play perfectly this monstrous piece of guitar masterpiece

[pellax]

You can't be cooler than this guy playing this song.

[melonsoda]

the only band who delivered good classic rock in early 80s!

[reythmband]

I have to come get my Sultans of Swing fix every so often - it's just such an exceptional, evocative song in every way. The lyrics put you in every roadhouse you ever wandered into. Needless to say, Mark Knopfler's guitar performance is a lyrical classic.

[mayfieldgage]

This is by all means the definitive version of this song!

[mahkhyecheng]

This Sultan is 41years old, and still swinging. Mark Knofler’s gift to the world. Thanks you.

Summer of '79, a three month hippy honeymoon across Europe. It's around midnight and we're running through the Munich train station trying to catch an overnight to Vienna. Sultans of Swing is playing through the station loud speakers at full volume. First time hearing it. The feeling of euphoria is still there...over 40 years later.

Best Dire Straits period, thanks to Pick Withers.

Mark is praised, quite logically. But the trio behind him is also really awesome.

[aceman]

This was 45 years ago. A time era with great guitarists. No one on this planet will ever be able to do it again.

[coinraker]

This is a song I will NEVER get sick of!

[matthewlips]

This song is a masterpiece. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Rick_Retired]

This song and performance is as relevant today as it was 42 years ago, only much more appreciated as a timeless piece of music history! Thank you Mark and the Dire Straits crew.

[ellismavennathan]

I'm 76 and still cry when I hear this group. They're mesmerising!

[wagherbert]

The unmistakable sound of Mark Knopfler at work. Timeless.

[tylerdurden]

You can practice until your hands bleed but without the natural born talent this kind of playing is just a dream.

[julietsiozon]

I'm dancing/tapping to the tune.. even lying in bed...whenever i hear this original version of the young MK...thank you MK for creating this wonderful song!

[shahabrizvi]
