Mark is self taught, left handed and learned to play right handed so he didn't look different from other guitar players and he didn't know how to read music. He doesn't use a pick and plucks the strings with the tips of his fingers in what is known as the banjo roll. He plays guitar like a banjo creating his unique sound.

This is the Alchemy Live, 1983 performance. One of the best live rock performances ever. The drummer is Terry Williams, and he was on fire during this.

Mark knopfler has just released his tenth solo album (One Deep River) and it's superb. He's also released a charity single with over fifty of the best musicians on the planet.. Dire Straits released six studio albums and Brothers in Arms sold over 30 million copies. Mark Knopfler has also released many film soundtracks, including The Princess Bride, Last Exit to Brooklyn and Local Hero. His catalogue is immense!!

"Alchemy" was one of the best concerts ever and the band in this line-up was perfect. Terry on the drums was awesome, and yes, I also like that John on bass is always dancing. But the rest of the band is also really good and they have fun. Make sure you also watch "Telegraph Road" from the same concert. And "tunnel of Love" Wembley live 85 unbelievable

July 1983, Hammersmith Odeon Mark Knopfler - guitar, vocals Alan Clark - keyboards John Illsley - bass guitar, backing vocals, Hal Lindes - guitar, backing vocals Terry Williams - drums Additional musicians Tommy Mandel - keyboards (and a bit of dancing) Its one of the most epic performances by any band, I was lucky enough to be there, I was 18 and you don't appreciate how brilliant it was until later. I thought this sort of musicianship and performance was normal, but its not normal at all, its exceptional. The star (apart from Mark, of course) was Terry Williams, his drumming was outstanding, he played like that all night! You now have to react to telegraph Road from the same concert, totally different and epic as well

@evanhayward1502 Месяц назад

Williams live was insane. I went to two of the Brothers in Arms concerts - where MK delivered the outro solo - and it was years before I considered the quality of the guitar work. The drumming was that good.

Terry Williams (drums) was performing live for the first time with his father in the audience. Did you notice the guitarists looking back at him laughing? He was really jacked for this show! I saw them during there fist Canadian tour in "78. They sounded like the studio version then. All night I was thinking "Come on boys, let "er RIP"! This was the greatest performance of their careers!

@Just-another-opinion Месяц назад

All skills aside: Mark doesn't play only as a shredder and think in olny a few bars comming up, But plays the composision as a whole in his mind. So he exactly know when to hold back and use perfect licks and solos. that whit his skills and some ohter mayor thing (like arpeggios). Contracted @ '77 'live @ '78. That's what maks him (on of) greatest ever.

@DUGGER1947 Месяц назад

Mark Knopfler is the lead guitarist.. period! He plays a "finger-style" technique, that is very unique for rock music. He is left handed, but plays the guitar as a right-handed player would. So his fingering hand (on the frets) is the "strong" hand, and the picking is done using the thumb and 2 fingernails (sometimes 3) on the "weaker" hand. No pick (plectrum) is used. IMO, Mark's style was influenced greatly by his admiration of the finger-style sounds created by certain guitarists, most notably, Chet Atkins.

@neilholland3415 Месяц назад

The banjo roll as it is known.

@AceofBadeReacts Месяц назад

The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. It's nice that you enjoyed it so much. What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having. Making a living like that wouldn't suck.🤑🤑 Shout out to the production crew. The filmography of this LIVE concert is incredible.🤩🤩

@maruka1716 Месяц назад

Mark Knopfler (in red with the headband) wrote the song in 1977, and the band recorded a demo the same year. The studio version came out in 1978 and was the break-out hit for Dire Straits. Dire Straits existed as a band, with shifting line-ups, through the early 90s, with Mark K. and bassist John Illsley (the tall guy in white) as the only constant members. This live performance is from 1983. Dire Straits doesn't exist as a band anymore, but Mark is still working at age 74 and released his latest album in April 2024. It went to #3 on the British album charts, right behind Beyonce.

@maruka1716 Месяц назад

Also, Dire Straits in 1978 was a 4-man band, with no keyboards. The slow part in the middle depends on keyboards, so of course they didn't do that until the expanded the band.

Best living guitarist ❤

@HG-kr5dc Месяц назад

from JAPAN.　　Dire Straits is one of my favorite bands, along with BAND-MAID.　The vocals show the influence of Bob Dylan.　Most notable is Mark Knopfler's fingerpicking guitar.　His guitar solos are technical, very emotional, and full of his personality.　They are also very accomplished as a live band, and have a sophistication that you don't find in rock bands that approach you with loud music.　Anyway, I really enjoy listening to this band.
