Показать описание
This was absolutely electric. I can see why people in the comments mentioned this being one of the best live performances ever. Sultans of Swing is insane, Mark Knopfler is a boss. Everything about this was wonderful.
Thank you for hanging out and watching my reaction to my first time listening to Dire Straits' classic song Sultans of Swing.

The best description for Dire Straits songs is, "Mark's voice tells the story whilst his guitar sings the song."

If Sultans of Swing comes on the radio when you pull into a parking spot, you sit there and wait till it's over.

Another generation figuring out what we knew 45 years ago that Mark Knopfler was simply the best!

I’ve been listening to Mark Knopfler for 40 years. The man is a musical genius and, quite possibly, one of the greatest guitarists that’s ever lived, in my humble opinion.

I don’t think people give enough credit to Terry Williams here, quite honestly one of the best drum performances I’ve seen ever. Unreal! Glad I bought the vinyl!

71 years old today and I still LOVE Dire Straits. It's great to see young men discovering our music. We had the best music.

Dude, Mark K was named one of the 5 TOP GUITARISTS in the World many many years ago. Where have you been? I’m happy you crawled out from under your rock!!! Yay!

You really didn´t know them? Wow. I´m from Germany and even here the dire straits are just legend.

Terry Williams on drums can't be overlooked. He is brilliant and there are no words for Mark Knopfler. He is at the very top of his craft.

It’s truly hard to imagine a guitarist that hasn’t heard of Mark Knopfler. He’s commonly listed as one of the top five rock guitarists of all time. Admittedly, I’m 73 years old and have known this song since its release but Knopfler is my favorite. There are others right up there (pick your favorites) but I love his work.

Literally the definition of a band at the peak of their powers. If seen so many reaction videos on this song and I still go through the whole range of emotions every time - pathos, joy, euphoria. Incredible

I can’t believe anyone in the world has never heard of the greatest guitarist of all times… and yes, there are better electric guitarists and electric solos, but Mark was a genius of the guitar, and his style is a different game.
We all would like his touch, we all would like his sound.

Dire Straits are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Walk Of Life", "Brothers In Arms", "Money For Nothing", "Telegraph Road", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "So Far Away" etc. They don't have a bad song.

As a guitarist you should know the greatest in the world. Prince was once asked “ what is it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world, he replied go ask Mark Knofler.”

The first time my husband and I heard this song was in the car when we were newlyweds. We looked at each other and smiled and thought “This band is gonna be fun!” We raised our kids on Dire Straits and then Mark’s solo career and they have impeccable taste in music. He just recently sold a bunch of his favorite guitars and raised millions for charity. In an interview at that time he described the guitars like they’re people—his musical collaborators. Look it up!

Welcome to real rock’n roll, grasshopper. An era when people actually played the music rather than over-produced, digitally enhanced and auto-tuned it. No overly sung vocal trills here. Just live Rock.

Watching people fall in love with music that I love is one of my favorite human experiences.
