It's 2024 and I was born in 2001 and I am really Jealous that I Wasn't living when dire streets was playing live the energy that thay have its so incredible. mark knopfler is so Talented on the guitar. I whis that I can go back in time to be in one of there live Concerts

[walterfaria]

I love Dire Straits, best band that ever existed.

[gustavhaggendal]

The interplay between the guitar and saxophone in the last part is just unreal! Some of the best music I have ever heard.

[audrybella]

This may have been one of the best rock-n-roll concerts of all time. Incredible performances one right after another.

[Burvedys]

These times when a song could be played over 11 minutes and still not becoming boring.

[HexadecimalMantis]

Absolutely wild how melodic Knopflers improvisation is. It seems so effortless. No two Sultans performances are the same.

[TheRealTrulyJulie]

Mark is literally exploding with musical creativity. He barely plays any of the iconic licks from the record version. Instead he “simply” creates new ones, seemingly on the fly, and they are just as great. And what a great band he has behind him. They are all so into it, the energy is off the charts!

[WillieJu]

Still love to listen to Mr Knopfler in 2024 and for as long as I may walk this earth

[balanar]

I am 20 years old and listening to my father’s music collection. A big Dire Straits fan. That man has a good taste.

[MaximeBridier]

I genuinely don't think that we, young people in our 20s and 30s, can even get close to understanding what it was to live in the 70s/80s. Must have been incredible!

[brunobray]

I was only 4 years old when this was filmed, this sounds have been with me all my life... ❤

[universebd]

Most gentleman musician Mark knofler & his band Dire Straits. Long live Mark

[stopdroolin]

You literally just witnessed and heard greatness at the highest level in music history. Appreciate it.

[JoseRodriguez-nilg]

In my opinion, one of the best masterpiece ever made in music of all times.

[CompelledUsername]

There's something about Knopfler. Every fan of every genre pretty much universally recognises his brilliance.

[imranimran-rykt]

Its September 2023, 38 years later, this song, still alive, still evergreen, top performance.

[doctorgoldbud]

The 70s and 80s was a blast to live during that time

[bobmiller]

Pure talent. Not just banging on guitars and yelling .todays rockers should take notice

[guitardave]

This gives me some hope that the whole concert will be released at some point!

[camerondougherty]

One of the greatest live performances by any band, at any time. And this track - beyond sublime!! I can just imagine Mark saying to the band "come on lads, lets give them the best performance they will ever see in their lives"
