Mark Knopfler is hands down one of the Most underrated and overlooked guitarists of all time. He's an absolute master of the instrument.

The drummer is Terry Williams and the story goes that his father was in the audience and was seeing him play live for the first time.

All of them are superlative, and the drummer . .oh the drummer, have mercy.

Love your reaction to one of my favourite bands - I'm 69 and listened to them a thousand times and they still never fail to move me.

They were rockstars already when this version was recorded but the drummers Father had never seen him play with Dire Straits before this concert in 1983. So I think therefore the drummer Terry Williams brought His playiing to the next level for sure ;)

The drummer was outstanding!

I love that smile from Mark Knopfler at the end. Such a talent. But your right, Terry Williams made this song great.

Terry Williams is an absolute beast of a drummer

Yep, I've loved Dire Straits for around 40 years ... and the drummer steals the show in this performance.

Mark Knopfler wrote the words and music, arranged it, sang it and played his guitar as only he can, everything from this masterpiece came from Mr Knopfler. He's just turned the young age of 73 and was still touring up until 2019. The mans a GENIUS...

So I agree on how amazing the drummer is

Before streaming, i always gave youngsters ( i am 46 years now ) at their birthday the Dire Straits Alchemy album to learn what great music is. And everyone who got this birthday gift thanked me greatly for it.

I agree with you on this, the drummer was great he is one of the best, I just love Dire Straits this was one of the best live performance's I have ever seen the band is made up of top level musicians, thanks for your reaction,

When I was 17, back in 1983 I went to see Dire Straights, at Hammersmith. We didn't know how special this was until 39 years later. OMG it was fantastic, but didn't realise at the time. We didn't think it could be as good live, we were wrong. I remember that it was better! Good times

Fun fact about Mark Knopfler. He plays guitar without a pick.

Have not this for a long time made the hair on the back of my neck stand up ammmmmmmmazing

Just found your channel. Glad you liked Terry Williams on drums. He was amazing. Dire Straits we’re part of my youth. 50+ years well spent.

Notice how closely the others in the group watch Mark and pick up on all his cues. That musicianship right there.

Yes the drummer killed it big time

Love Dire Straits

The best guitarist in the world and the greatest song ever.

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 your living like that wouldn't suck.

These are far from "simple" instrumentals sister. The drumming and guitar playing is incredibly difficult and very very advanced lo. Mark Knopfler is a legendary guitar player and these are top of the line musicians.

One of the best live-performance with Dire Straits an Mark Knopfler ever- thank you "Jayy" all time from Germany for the good music!

Man I love Dire Straits 🇬🇧😊🇬🇧

Tingling scalps all round. One of the greatest guitarists of all time.

growing up in the 80s and 90s, my dad listened to a bunch of dire straits so mark knopfler was my first guitar hero. dad had this concert on VHS. dont know how many times i watched it. they were my gateway into metal lol.

Saw these guys 1987 UK .. Obz great tunes .. wow .. Drums was my introduction to Drum & Bass ..

The studio version is pretty darn good..few minutes shorter..but these guys live are as good as it gets. By the way..drummer Terry Williams was the tour drummer..not in the studio...and yes..he killed it.

Thanks for your reaction, and you are spot on, the drummer is TERRY WILLIAMS, an absolute star x

The drummer is remarkable. Watch this guy

That drummer was on fire!

One of my all-time favorite bands! I even saw Knopfler play a show at the Murat in Indianapolis around 2005. One of the best shows ever. Try "Romeo & Juliet" and "Telegraph Road." Life-changing stuff!

I agree.. the drummer made this song in this particular concert..

Romeo & Juliet next. - Dire Straits

Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel A great song

thats rock and roll history folks

One of the best guitar players...Mark Knopfler.

Love the drumming on this, wow, he is excellent, and of course, Marc on lead, cutting through it all, thanks!

'How simple the instrumental is!' This is regarded as one of the Best(if not the Best,) live instrumental performances of all time. Give urself a smack on the hand young Lady. 🤯 They make it look and sound simple because they are so damn good.

Rock Fusion icons! Mark Knopfler is the king of understated guitar lyricism!

Ya he was just killing those drums

My first concert was Dire Straits. That’s how old I am.

Dire Straights have so many wonderful creations 🖤

" Telegraph road " by dire straits is a MUST listen

i would recommend just about all their stuff, Mark Knopfler is a genius. Make sure its live

Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitar players there has ever been. The drums in this were amazing. The studio version of this is really good.

One of the best guitarists ever to walk planet earth.

Mark Knopfler plays with the old bluegrass style of finger picking that's how he gets that melodic sound that you hear from the guitar great reaction

Honestly, I still can't get over the comment that he is underrated! By whom? He's near the top of every single poll and discussion of the greatest guitarists of all time!

Mark Knopfler one of the greatest guitarists of all time 🙏

Simply phenomenal performance as always. A band in total harmony & lead guitar Mark Knopfler is a legend. But like you say, that drummer was more than a step above others.

Girl you got it.very few today’s youth know who Mark is.If you want to fall in the Dire Strait rabbit hole,here is the list.Brothers in arms,Going Home,Privat investigation, once up on the time in the west,Song for Sonny Liston,Telegraph road,Money for nothing and and and, the list is to long for me to write.I hope, no I’m sure you gonna love it!!!

Brothers in arms is an amazing song!

Ahh......Sultans live!!! Thank you very much!!! They make it look so effortless and his extra gusto with the lyrics is such a great ride!!! 😺🖤

You might like 'Money for Nothing' or 'Walk of Life' from Dire Straits. Great songs.

Dire Straits incredible musicians and brilliant live. Great reaction as ever Jayy, thx

One of the top bands from the best decade for music the 80s

That was a jam. The drums are more subdued on their studio recordings, but the lyrics are easier to make out which matters because their songs often tell stories. "Skateaway", for example, tells a story about a roller skater making her way through busy streets listening to music through her headphones and pretending to be the star in her own movie: "And the music make her want to be the story \ And the story was whatever was the song, what it was..."

Nothing like watching a master at his trade......

😮 Wooow!! Dire Straits es fabuloso !! Marck Knopfler está considerado como uno de los más grandes y talentosos guitarristas...si te fijas, toca sin púa y con la mano derecha ( él es zurdo ). Los Sultanes del swing, es sólo una canción más de su extenso catálogo. Me encanta tu sensibilidad, sé que tal vez, no vas a la técnica propiamente tal, pero, tus reacciones son tan genuinas y sinceras que me encantas!! Gracias por traer la música de mi época 😊...de verdad, tuve la suerte de vivir la mejor música, hecha con puro talento; sin computadoras, sin auto tune... sólo genialidad. Un abrazo desde Chile (al fin del mundo). 🤗🤗

You have to listen Romeo and Juliet.... what a love story....you will love it 😃😃

You get a shiver in the dark It's a raining in the park but meantime- South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie, double four time You feel alright when you hear the music ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south London town You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing They said an old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the Honky Tonk like anything Savin' it up, for Friday night With the Sultans We're the Sultans of Swing Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call Rock and Roll And the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing"

nothing about the guitar part is "simple". i've been playing guitar for almost 20 years now, since i was 10, and that song is still hard af

Same album...Telegraph Road.. live...is amazing!

It makes it so much better seeing how much they enjoy playing.

I have loved Dire Straits from the first time I heard way back. I love the sound Mark gets from his fingerpicking style of playing. Its amazing to see in videos how he doesn’t just use his pingers to pick with but he will deaden strings as well to keep it all a clean sound. And watch any of their concert videos and there isn’t a bad song from start to finish. Thanks for playing them and the reaction!

Jayy that was the great Terry Williams on drums sweety.. he killed those drums like they owe him money.. he’s fabulous!!!

The drumer is amazing !!!! mister Terry Wiliams

The Recorded Version is beautiful being my Favorite of all time songs in my 70 years of life. The Live performance which is the Long Version is just too awesome to be real, but Truth is before our eyes. They all played a role in this music, so I will not single out any single player yet I do have my unspoken favorite Drummer and Guitarist.

Dire Straits is a LIVE band!!!!

Mark Knopfler is the finger piching style Master. Plis react more Dire Straits . Next Telegraph road from Alchemy. Stay safe my friend

I like the way you called the most complex guitar playing ever, simple

True band! Just boys jamming! Love it! Never saw the live version 😜

Agreed, Jayy . . .This tune has such a great coolness factor. I've always enjoyed it~

Not heard 'Heavy Fuel' for a while. That song so underrated.

Your right he was amazing

As far as I'm concerned Mark knapfler is hands down one of the top 20 Greatest guitar players ever, The Sultans of Swing sound was so clean no distortion what so ever and Mark being a finger picker using no guitar picks the rhythm guitar and the drums had to be on point to get this song to work.

The song came from a rainy day when Mark Knopfler dived into a pub to escape the rain. Playing inside was a jazz band and they were definitely mediocre. But they signed off their set with "We Are The Sultans Of Swing". The rest is history

IMHO Dire Straits' masterpiece is Telegraph Road. You should try...

Some other great early Dire Straits tracks are "Southbound Again," "Settin' Me Up," and there are also a lot of neat songs on their "On Every Street" album.

The studio version is great too but much softer. Perfect "road trip" song

The most distinctive guitar sound in rock. Their masterpiece is "Telegraph Road", but they had a lot of great songs: "Water of Love", "Romeo and Juliet", "Tunnel of Love"... or if you want shivers up and down your spine, try "Private Investigations". And yes, the drumming is great. Another band with a brilliant drummer you'd love is Blondie - have a listen to their song "Dreaming" and you'll see what I mean!

Their 'brothers in arms' album is a masrerpeice👌

Always incredible, thank you.

Mark Knopfler also wrote the song and arranged it, pure genus

Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitar players in the world !!!!!!!

Just witnessed greatness dam!!

shoutout from Brazil, just arrived on your channel! love your vibes already,

Welcome to the incredible music of Dire Straits, Jayy! This is easily their best track, but second from top is probably "Telegraph Road" (the studio version for this song is much better than any live version; the sound is far clearer). Next in line is perhaps "Tunnel of Love" (the live at Wembley in 1985 is the best version) -- links below: "Telegraph Road": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_4E_924b9SU.html "Tunnel of Love": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fuH8LA_cBkc.html

Vince Gill very nearly signed with Dire Straits but had a country contract. He now is touring with the Eagles. Go Rest High On That Mountain is a great Vince Gill song.

Excellent Dire Straits song. Also try "Walk Of Life" from them

he is one of the best drummers out there. you should check out "Going Home" also from the same live release

Ya just witnessed greatness!!!

Try watching 'Tunnel Of Love' the live in Wembley '85 version - the guys rock and Terry Williams does his thing!

If a group of giants formed a rock and roll band, they would have been named Dire Straits.

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Excellent!!!!! I think you'd love Walk of Life by them also!!!!

Just fabulous!

Try Tunnel of Love next! And Dire Straits sounds great in studio but live... They're something else
