This video was a Patreon request that came through quite a while back but I have been so busy trying to get every request done that it just has taken me a while to get to it. I am completely new to Dire Straits, I know absolutely nothing about them. I was requested that I listen to Sultans Of Swing Alchemy Live instead of the studio version as it's longer. This was an excited video to film and I think one of the longest ones on the channel.
Here is my first reaction to Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing. I hope you enjoy it!

At the time they were so busy touring, creating this level of awesome was like their day job. Dire Straits had 3 giant stages and 3 full stage teams. They were in constant use. As they were performing on one stage, the previous one was being dismantled while the next one was being built - that gives an idea of how packed their schedule was. This would have just been another great night for them, and only when they look back later would they be able to appreciate what they were doing at the time.

That was a great reaction! My dire straight story. It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 p.m. . A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won two 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 responded 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 6th 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. His fingers fly, no pick... 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!

The person I was going to go with couldn't make it, so I ran around my dorm floor yelling "Who wants to go see Dire Straits?" My first volunteer was the hottest girl on the floor. Nothing ever happened between us (apart from a life-long friendship), but I bet a bunch of guys at the show were thinking "What's SHE doing with that ugly bastard?"

Read “My Life in Dire Straits” by John Illsley, he describes learning to play the Bass guitar, and he was beside Mark Knopler from the formation of Dire Straits until their eventual break up, and he and Mark are best friends to this day. I just love it that at 74 Mark has made a new album ‘Ahead of the Game’, he still loves to play and sing. I’m 89 but feel young again every time I see that old video.

That's it. You've done it now. You've started your Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler journey. I loved watching you react to this performance. I've probably watched it several hundred times, that whole concert. If I could give you a recommendation, it would be to listen to either Telegraph Road, or Tunnel of Love, from the same Alchemy concert. They're phenomenal. Mark is, as someone else in the comments mentioned, a musical genius. His song writing is out of this world, and the way he makes the guitar sing is just incredible. Enjoy the rest of your Dire Straits journey! Great reaction. Oh, and the outstanding drummer is Terry Williams, from Wales.

Hi, this is the first reaction of yours that I've watched. I'm 54 and I've been a huge DS fan since I was 15. Alchemy Live was my first vinyl. They were born in 1977 in the suburbs of London when Mark Knopfler (the singer) moved from Newcastle to his brother's house, which he shared with John Illsley (the bassist). DS was born there. In this live show, recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1983, Hal Lindes plays on rhythm guitar, replacing Mark's brother David Knopfler in the original line-up, who left the band in 1980 due to musical differences, Alan Clark on keyboards and piano and Terry Williams on drums, here in his first experience with the DS having replaced the original drummer that year. It is above all thanks to his influence that the live performance has a very different rhythm compared to the original recording. He rewrote some great drum parts. The performance is incredible. Just think about the fact that at the time there were no sequences, bases, clicks... everything played completely live. I found your reactions very pleasant... if you want to continue getting to know DS a little, I recommend some excerpts from their live show "On the night - Live" (which I witnessed in person in 1993). In particular the songs "Calling Elvis", "On every street", "Your latest trick", "Romeo & Juliet". And then again from Alchemy Live in 1983 "Once upon a time in the west" and "Love over gold". And finally their most poignant song "brothers in arms". Sorry for going on, but when it comes to DS... enjoy listening.

@sherylstone8804 4 месяца назад
