Hey guys, another BIG recommendation is "Tunnel of Love" (studio version) which features some of the best guitar story-telling by Mark, and some energetic drum work! I know you'll appreciate it

@timwhitnell7145 3 года назад

You guys have to listen to Industrial Disease by Dire Straits. It's my favourite song by them. Quirky lyrics. It's a fun tune but at the same time making pertinent social commentary. George and Patrick, please do a bunch of reactions to Supertramp, my favourite group. They had five consecutive classic albums, in my opinion, from Crime of the Century through to Famous Last Words, but try anything off their best album, Crime of the Century (especially School and Bloody Well Right) and anything off their most popular album, Breakfast In America.

I believe you are mistaken. As someone who lived through Rock's golden years from the 50s through to today, and have heard nearly everything there is in this genre, I can tell you this performance IS the greatest performance in history. Mark Knoffler's guitar skills are beyond incredible and so is Terry Williams, the drummer. They are both virtuosos, It's hard to believe that Mark is a self taught guitarist who created his unique fingerpicking style and never learned to read music.

@strato9223 3 года назад

I also converted my father in the 80's who was not in love with music, only listening to "french chansons" on the long waves radio, between ads... To see him become a huge fan of MK and consider that his offspring had good taste was great. We then saw Dire Straits twice a few years later in Paris in 91 and 92. We were equally completely amazed by MK. A fusional sharing of the same sensations quite rare and precious between generations.

My Dire Straits story... It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 PM... A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won 2 tickets via a radio DJ to tonight's Brothers in Arms tour show (1986) at the Boston Garden and he can't find anyone to go with him because of midterms. The concert starts in about an hour and a half and these two guys both say no he looks at me and says would you want to go? I respond in a heartbeat yes even though I had two midterms the next day... we picked up the tickets at the door... I couldn't believe it they were sixth row Center on the floor I've never been so close to a major rock and roll band for such a long time, it was absolutely unforgettable. Folks didn't want to leave they came back out for a second Encore song, it was really a very well-done show I didn't do all that well on those two midterms but it was worth it.

I was 15 when they toured here. My Dad was winning a poker game at my Uncle's and I asked him for some money. I went to the Dire Straits concert at our Showgrounds. It was amazing!! Will never forget it🤩

I'm an old man . I am so fortunate to have seen them live twice . Their self named debut album is so pure from start to finish . Everyone says Eric Clapton is the greatest guitarist of all time , Jimi Hendrix , sure . But Mark Knoppfler is never in the conversation . Their live concerts were unbelieveable . The 'Telegraph Road' tour and 'Brother's in Arms' tour shows were so epic . I walked out of the concerts a foot off the ground . His guitar work seems so effortless and he makes a sound so recognizable . I'm so happy they're getting credit in this day and age . It's truly timeless . Glad you all are listening to it . Mark wrote all the music and songs too . His solo work is also incredible . Watch the 'Money For Nothing' with Phil Collins , Sting and Eric Clapton ( yes , he does rhythm ) . So sweet .

I am beyond jealous. That sounds mean, but I wish so badly to have been alive and able to go to concerts when Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits were in their prime. Actually, most bands and artists of the 60's and 70's would've been great to see, too. No autotune. Just pure talent. Knopfler is the cleanest and most awe-inspiring guitarist. The fact that he makes it look simple makes it that much better. The rest of the band is on their A game, too. Dire Straits came to win that night. I believe that you can recognize who really pays attention to and values music and its individual parts (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, etc.) when they bring Knopfler into the conversation for greatest guitarist of all time. His solos in this song are so phenomenal it makes me smile every time that I hear them. Punchline: you are right.
