This is the album where I realized that Mark Knopfler was not just an awesome guitar player, but a real songwriter, too. This song, Tunnel of Love, and Skateaway are probably my favorites on the album. My ear is still used to the album versions over the live, though.

@hevydavy Год назад

Definitely my favorites on the album. I never even play the rest as I just love those 3 songs so much I just repeat them over and over!

@fingling8 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I agree with your songs. I caught the songwriting skill on the first album, but Making Movies really hit me. And that's why I found this pretty lady's comments so on-target: they're all little movies, on all of his albums, but this one is about romances and yearnings more than most.

Hard to beat the Alchemy Live concert. Some other greats songs from Alchemy are Once Upon a Time in the West, Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road

@harlanginsberg7269 Год назад

Unfortunately this song is actually autobiographical. Mark Knofler the lead singer/lead guitarist/songwriter dated a female musician named Holly Vincent and she abruptly dumped him. Knofler probably correctly thought she was using him to get ahead, In this song the line 'Oh Romeo yeah, you know I used to have a thing with him" is close to word for word what she said shortly after the break up in an interview. He also says in the song "And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real' basically saying she used him..

@Go4Jeph Год назад

Ah man. One of my favorites! In general, I'd suggest listening to the studio versions of songs first.. THEN give the live versions a try.

@Cheryltwin2012 Год назад

What a lovely song this is! The entire "Making Movies" album is full of great songs, most notably "Skateaway". I stopped buying their albums after this one because their incredible drummer, Pick Withers, left the group. Such a romantic song; it reminds me of a guy I was dating at the time (late 1980/early 1981).

@ericcowsill7821 Год назад

Absolutely the studio version is awesome. This is his real life story about him being used by a girl to use his fame at the time to make herself famous then once she made she left him. So so blanking powerful. It’s life in music. Unreal.

@michaelparsons5299 Год назад

"Making Movies!"This album really set Dire Straits on their way. I know they had some earlier ones. But this one broke them into the mainstream in a spectacular way. My favourite song from this album is "Tunnel of Love!" Wonderful song telling a very passionate story!

@mikecaetano Год назад

"Romeo and Juliet" is the second song on side one of their third studio album, Making Movies, released in 1980. It's long been one of my favorite albums. This live version is wonderful. The studio recording of the song was released as the third single from that album. The live audience was clearly super thrilled to hear those opening guitar lines. "Tunnel of Love", "Romeo and Juliet", "Skateaway", "Expresso Love", "Solid Rock" -- classic tunes fill that album.

Mark Knopfler's the guitar heroes Guitar Hero. Love Alan Clarke's "Stop in the name of love" motifs during the outro.

@seanstevenson9891 Год назад

They use the same intro (STOP in the name of Love) on Tunnel of Love, Wembley '85. It must have influenced him somehow in his youth.

@edalisauskas7313 Год назад

Beautiful song. Listen to the studio version. Much clearer than this and the dynamics stand out much more Sadly, this version was a little drowned out a bit by the audience Mark Knopfler (the singer /guitarist) is a real talent. Incredible guitar player Nice one, Ang!

@Daveaaaaa Год назад

This video showed off their musicianship skills. I would watch the original music video to get the full force of the emotion of the song. Sometimes live Mark can 'speak sing' so he falls off the beautiful original melody. I would also recommend 'Telegraph Road'!

@letitbesummer6536 Год назад

Havent hear this one in a while. So beautiful. 💗💗 (must hear the studio version too)

@cliffordlowerre1381 Год назад

Beautiful love song! I think he knows how to do a love song the way it's meant to be. Like the line at the start "Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start".

@bluecalix Год назад

Do yourself a favor and read the lyrics and listen to the studio version. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat and the bad company And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

@ejford5083 Год назад

Skateaway is an amazing song … one of my favorites by Dire Straits. It’s worth listening to if you get the chance. Guaranteed no disappointments!!

@jeffstevens4262 Год назад

The official video for this song is just great too. Nice reaction again.

@Malfie657 Год назад

To be honest this is one of the few songs of theirs which doesn't suit the live version in my opinion. It isn't about Mark Knopfler's intricate guitar playing, it's about the lyrics and if you're hearing it for the first time (like Angela) it's really hard to pick them all up on the live version. That said, it's still a gorgeous song.

@brianbrantley4067 Год назад

Awesome reaction to a great song. Thank you

@sebastianblack6506 Год назад

Crazy coincidence that a reaction to this song shows up on my RU-vid feed today. The song just happened to randomly play on my MP3 player during my jog about two hours ago. Hadn't heard it in a long time and I was reminded what a good song it is. Not a lot of reactions to this track so an excellent choice, though I would have went with the album version since the lyrics drop out during this live version, hard to hear what he's saying.

@davidaquarius9089 Год назад

This is one of those songs where the studio version is better than the live. The lyrics are so profound that the distortions of the live performance take away from the message of the music. Marc's guitar playing is epic and fits his lyrics like a glove. Put the studio version on your playlist. This one lacks the quality the song deserves. Thank you for your reaction, it always provides a fresh look at songs I grew up with.

Kind of off topic but the title reminds me of a song by the Pointer Sisters called "Fire". These ladies were amazing and had a number of hits in the 80s. Well worth a listen.

An all-time favorite song for me. Incredibly evocative lyrics. But yes, studio version.

Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist and song writer. Please check out Tunnel of Love (Wembley live '85). Full of nostalgic feeling and probably one of the greatest guitar solos ever.

@no2all Год назад

A really great Dire Straits number comes from their first album - "Down to the Waterline." I felt this one was always eclipsed by "Sultans of Swing" (which is pure perfection) but can stand on its own.

@PjRjHj Год назад

Agreed

@richardhargrave6082 11 месяцев назад

This live performance was at Hammersmith Odeon, London, in 1983 I know this because I was there! You have to react to more Dire Straights I suggest more from this tour, the Alchemy Tour, I suggest Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road, the Alchemy version really shows the talent and depth in the band

@EvilTheOne Год назад

Commentator David Aquarius is so right, as with all Dire Straits song, they are recorded so much better in studio. Beyond the obvious, Straits' music is recorded at such a high level of clarity, it's almost a sin to listen to it any other way . . . almost. Knopfler's guitar playing and vocals are always the highlights of Straits' music. Too many songs to point out, all the way back from Sultans Of Swing. I especially love his solo work on "The Princess Bride" with the song "Storybook Love", with vocals performed by Willy DeVille. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

@mtjoy747 Год назад

We did Shakespeare in college, but the ONLY time I understood Romeo and Juliet was when Dire Straits told me

@michaelaldan4354 Год назад

you should listen to the album Alchemy...it's Dire Straits in concert...and you will experience his true guitar .....his true self

@kentl7228 11 месяцев назад

Live is a good choice if it is from the Thank You Australasia concert, which is their best performance. Otherwise the studio version. The song is semi autobiographical as the protagonist of the song is a hopeless romantic who keeps trying the same ways of romance but he is destined to fail.

@kellydwightfields2281 Год назад

The studio version is the best version although this is good. Make sure and read the lyrics too, so touching/heartbreaking, but with a slight twist at the end. The lyrics were difficult to hear in this version.

I love this song but I would have rather listened to the studio version. I think for reactors, the studio version of songs is better for reactions. The live version is good if you like the song and want to hear it live to see how the band plays it.

@isaackovitz4791 Год назад

Hi Angela - I always love your reactions, especially to the 70's and 80's music. I noticed that you only did 1 ABBA song (Dancing Queen). There are SO many amazing Abba songs that you may have never heard. Maybe try this one to start with: "Gimme Gimme Gimme" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XEjLoHdbVeE.html

@robertbagley9199 Год назад

Some might disagree, but for me the studio version of this is far superior, have a listen Angela, the lyrics become much clearer.

@edsargent1923 Год назад

As incredible as Mark Knopler is as a guitar player, he's probably a better songwriter. Brothers In Arms, the song, is the most underrated song of the 1980's.

@ruimarques7625 Год назад

@lifelover515 Год назад

A thoughtful reaction as usual Angela, the intimate groove is what it's all about, and you can tell from the audience response it's a favorite with many. But as on other occasions, the great guitar legend is let down by his crappy, banal lyrics, and the muttered delivery doesn't help, though his gruff vocal style is always effective. Instrumentally he's a fine composer - consider his sublime score for 'The Princess Bride' as just one example - but wordwise he's no Dylan or Cockburn, kinda surprising for a former English teacher.
