Eric Clapton - Mark Knopfler. Live in Tokyo 1988 Full concert - AI Restored 4K 

I am 72 yo & honored to have grown up in the age of Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler! I will never stop loving them. 💯❤️❤️💯

May God bless the algorithm that brought me here 😊

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

Mark Knopfler makes everything better

Two of the best guitar players in the world. So glad I found this.

Trying to compare Clapton to Knopfler to is like comparing oxygen to water. Why try? Equally important and impressive. Like comparing Hendrix to Van Halen. Quit wasting your time. All on the Top Shelf. No better, just different.

I am 66 and I am still a Rocker, in my own Rockin Chair!!!❤

FINALLY!!! Someone knows how to turn older videos into HD, has good musical taste, and posts them on YT.

Dang, when mark knopfler is next to you and dueling you and you clearly are the virtuoso on stage, you know you’re in a very tight group of guitar GOATS. Clapton is a stud. Love that they’re dressed like 80s bankers too 😂

HELP! Every time I try to click away from this video and go do non-procrastinatory things, Eric Clapton goes wild on his guitar and I am paralyzed by awesomeness.

I Am 78 years old Still Sounds Great They Are The Best

Blessed for having been alive and old enough to watch it when it was first released. Double blessed for being young enough to find it again so freely available (kind of) on youtube. Those were the days, these are the days, my friend. Legends. Absolute Legends!!!!

Such a cool era for Clapton, what a lineup.

Knopfler is making a guitar excellence journey of his own

I saw Elton & Ray in 1980, Eric in 83 and Mark in 85 but all of them together? 🤯 My mind is blown... As much as I love Dire Straits It is a joy to see Mark play on these songs! Wow!

Back in 1988, they all had Hair! And I had teeth 😮 ! The good old days ❤

These were the day's when they wore nice clothes and played awesome music and sang wonderful songs that meant something🥰

Eric and Marc enjoying playing together makes the show all the more fun.

Really wonderful experience to see Knopfler playing support for Elton. Doesn't try to steal the show, just picks out beautiful notes to enhance Elton's performance. Fantastic musician, and knows what the music needs.

Nathan East the beast.. Maybe not on the same 'legendary level' as the two other legends, but man, he is such a contributor on the stage!

I watch this and I wonder when the world became such a bland place by comparison? Absolutely incredible concert, the music is phenomenal, the talent unparalleled, and I can't believe I watched all 2+ hours of it non-stop. Thanks for putting this together and posting -- it makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even around for.

Never let it be said that Eric Clapton is not a vocal legend. A guitar legend no doubt, but he is such an incredible lead vocalist, too.

1 hr 11m 22s into this Elton starts something magical and eventually shows us what a great piano player he is. Just look at the faces of Mark, Eric and Nathan as they enjoy letting rip with Elton. Magic! Fabulous. This is what playing music with other people is all about: Having super fun, rising to another level of existence and taking the audience with you :)

What a joy to see Eric together with Marc and this incredibly good band. Thanks for sharing.

This is the most complete version out there. Thank you for this.

The two of them together!!! WOW!!! And nice that they are wearing jackets to give respect to both their music and their audience.

I was living in Portland, OR in the late 80s and this tour was there for a couple nights...getting to see/hear these two slingers on the same stage for a whole concert was one of the high points of my concert-going career! WOW.,..just, wow!

It's true...I'm afraid it will never be the same again. What good music...young people. All top musicians...top vocals. A superb concert that can be listened to non-stop every day. ​

Amazing lineup!! Eric, Marc, Nathan East, and Elton John.. insane!!

Awesome. Saw Eric in Toronto with Mark on this tour. Thanks for posting

It is among the best concerts of both Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler.

You wanna talk about people who make their guitar literally sing... 😊❤

Great stuff. Brilliant quality. Thanks a lot.

Loved the man since I was a kid. Mark just added to it.

Excellent concert. Eric, Mark, Nathan Elton and Steve are masters of their crafts. Nathan singing background for Elton was super.

This gig went off big time. Excellence. Well restod 2 4k 2!

What makes Mr. Clapton such a very special luminary in the world that he inhabits is the enormous ammount of ground he has covered and is still covering. A bluesman at heart, he has additionaly written and performed some of the most diverse and beautiful songs to come from one artist over the past 50 some odd years. The years have caught up with him which is why it's wonderful to watch this 1988 concert from Tokyo with Mark Knopfler. Eric Clapton set the bar high and so many other performers work very hard in attempting to reach it.

I wish there was stuff like this now. People born in the 60s and 70s got to enjoy real good music in their younger years

Man, what a night that must have been ❤❤❤❤😂🎉😊

EC loves playing in Japan, and MK always gets the best of him. Too good for words. Just pure joy of the experience,ce. Oh to have been there with them.

One of the coolest duets to share... thank you

Sensacional ❤

You should definitely add Elton John's name to that title. Great restoration btw, I always wanted to watch this concert with a better quality.

Это мое детство,это моя юность ,это мое сегодняшнее и это будет моей старостью …….,великие музыканты ,низкий вам поклон ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great concert. Thanks for sharing.

Great! Thx!

Anyone else notice the opening piano to Layla was replaced with the opening piano to Dire Straits’ Romeo & Juliet??? Fitting for Layla- the bass then proceeds into DS’ Latest Trick- b4 hitting the opening to Layla- BRILLIANT! What happens when you have another band’s keyboardist and guitar 😂😂😂

Concerto strepitoso, con due grandissimi chitarristi, tra i migliori al mondo, che suonano insieme ad una band affiatatissima di accompagnamento. Un video tecnicamente ineccepibile, rende bene l'idea della bravura dei musicisti e dell'atmosfera dell'esibizione live. Grazie a chi l'ha realizzato e postato su RU-vid. 🙂

Awesome Awesome! I love it. Thanks for letting me come to the concert.

Gracias!!! Uno de los mejores conciertos, con los mejores!!!

What a JOY to watch! A blessing!

Greatest verision of Layla ever (and i've seen many). Intro, solo, Elton and smoking guitar - Eric is GOAT!

TREMENDO SHOW SEÑORES! GRACIAS

Wow Wow Wow! The intro to Crossroads alone is worth a mint! Then right into Straight-Ahead 12-Bar Blues at its Absolute Best! And then, for a nice change of pace, we get "Money For Nothing"! Just realized how complex it is. 💥

Great concert ❤ Would have been great to include Sultans of Swing. Such great musicians! Loved the drum and percussion solos at the end!❤

Que calidad de concierto, lo estoy disfrutando ❤

So Fabulous, THANK YOU♥♥

Wow I Love it together my Fav two lead Guitarist, LEGEND

no matter how cool you are, you will never be "Eric Clapton smoking on stage and ripping a kickass solo"-cool

Шедевр!!!!!!! Концерт невероятный шедевр

Que gran concierto!! Gracias por compartir esta joya. 🥰

que gran concierto, que grandes músicos y cantantes, afortunados los de esa época. Gracias totales :)

2 Legends in concert!

November 21, 1987 Eric went back to Hazleton for a 2nd treatment and returned home for Christmas. It’s interesting that he went right back into touring in 1988 sober now, and for the rest of his life. Here is some background information on the year of 1988 and the workload of the tour: (( BROADCAST RECORDING FROM ERIC CLAPTON S 25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN 1988 - FEATURING ELTON JOHN. Eric Clapton s 25th Anniversary Tour, featuring Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler among band members, was arranged to celebrate what was, in the late-1980s, Clapton s quarter century in the music business. Beginning on January 22, 1988 in Birmingham and ending on November 5 the same year in Osaka, the tour led through Asia, Europe and North America. Announced in December 1987 the tour quickly sold out and during 42 concerts, including four in Japan, 12 in the United Kingdom and 26 in the United States and Canada, Eric and band performed in front of more than 500,000 concertgoers, taking around 14 million US dollars in revenue. On November 2nd, the entourage performed at Japan s Tokyo Dome, for a show which was recorded for live broadcast on TV and FM radio, both in Japan and across the US. Elton John performed both solo on a couple of numbers during the concert, and alongside Clapton and band for several more songs. This entire gig is now presented on this 2CD Set in perfect quality for the first time. ))

Amazing!!

Mr Knopfler looks a completely different man, a suit on, his hairs cut, combed and smoothed down and keeps looking tentively at Eric Clapton, 2 GREATS and I'd only at the beginning 😶 Magic
