Rere the song was released in 1978. It tells the story of the band going into a pub and seeing another band (The Sultans of Swing) playing jazz music. Nobody in the audience is really interested in hearing the band on stage, but the band on stage doesn’t really seem to care, they are just happy to play their music. Evidently the story really happened. The Alchemy Live version of the song is the one to see because it really shows off Mark Knopfler’s incredible live guitar playing. Other songs to hear are telegraph Road, Romeo and Juliette, Brothers in Arms, Walk of Life, and I Want My MTV. Brothers in Arms is stunning and shows a different side of the band.

The genre is Dire Straits. Some bands are so unique they are simply themselves. This song is about the music scene in south London.

the Alchemy live version will blow your mind

[radsmith]

Telegraph Road is a great Dire Straits song.the live version of both Sultans and Telegraph Road are really, really good!

[KNOPFLERSGOD]

This was written by Mark Knopfler, he is also the singer and guitarist. He was in a pub in Deptford, London and their was a Dixieland Jazz band playing to an almost empty pub, at the end of the set they announced "Thank you, goodnight, we are the Sultans of Swing " Mark found it amusing, because they were not that, and he wrote the song, and it launched a legendary song writer, guitarist and band. Now watch the live version of this from the Alchemy Live concert. I always advise you to always listen to the album version 1st just to hear how greatly they develop live.

Exactly the song is from 1978. It's about a band he saw in a pub in London. The guitarist, leader of the band, is Mark Knoffler, excellent with his instrument with a peculiar way of playing without a pick. That the final solo in the song is cut is a real crime. Can examine many songs because they have a lot of quality.

[ggwalker]

That version cuts off the ending solo which is amazing!

[JOELY]

cool reaction. the Alchemy live version of this song is epic

[MarkRichardson-fx]

I worked bar gigs for over 10 years and lived this lifestyle, in fact one of the bands I worked with did a Sultans of Swing cover and often musicians in the audience would join in. Total Rock and Roll Chaos but in a good way.

[Jean-FrancoisPirenne]

I remember that I had to go to the Netherlands to by their LP, at this time nobody knew Dire Straits in Belgium.

Your soul would have settled so gracefully into the 70s - 80s. Might have seen you there.

[ThistleAndSea]

These guys were really good. Lots of great songs! Thanks for sharing this one.

[RadioJammor]

Born in Glasgow, lived near Newcastle as kids and then formed this band in London. Mark and David Knopfler. This was their breakthrough hit. Genre wise it isn't straightforward to define, but it does fall generally into rock and pop. It's kinda rock and roll and a bit bluesy. There are other Dire Straits songs that you have to call rock classics. Private Investigations, for example, although much of it is quite soft, and on acoustic guitar, it builds into this awesome rock ending with an electric guitar.

[Sober]

You were born the year I got sober! May 18 2003❤ cheers great tune!

[deanmillard]

This is what you call a band.. people who can actually play instruments and create great music 🎵

[williammcdonald]

This is the shortened version, you should look for the full song. Early seventies.

[fredkrissman]

The genre? I think it's simply excellent late '70s pop/rock...
I enjoy your reactions Rere, and look fwd to more!

[michaelelliotttec.]

Alchemy live is amazing 4 minute guitar solo, drummer gets a cardio workout too

[FUBAR]

Michael Jackson, sting/police, and Dire Straits were played constantly on MTV in its inaugural seasons…..
