Mark even looked back a time or 2 and acknowledged his beating the hell out of those drums. One of my favorite bands, their first album was the first album I played in 1978 after buying a knock out stereo with a pioneer 120watt/channel receiver, 2 JBL studio monitor speakers, a 24 band pioneer equalizer 12 bands per channel, a technics turntable and a technics casette deck that was, at the time capable of playing metal cassette tapes which at the time was as good as it got back then. That entire album was played onboard my ship and was bought at the US Navy exchange in Naples Italy, our home base when deployed. It cost $1200 in 1978. The second album I played on it was the first Boston album, it sounded insane.

@PjRjHj 2 года назад

Mark Knopfler OBE is a Guitar giant, one of the most emotive guitarists to grace the mainstream, an equal to David Gilmour, Eric Clapton often plays Rhythm Guitar for him. He's also a brilliant Lyricist and Composer, a consummate storyteller with a strong romantic bone. Dire Straits sold over 120 million Albums. They were one of the biggest live acts of the 80s. "Sultans of Swing" was their debut hit, and generally considered their most famous song. If you hadn't heard it but recognized the voice, then you may have heard "Money For Nothing" (featuring Sting) or "Walk Of Life". Both got a lot of airplay in the USA, with the former having an iconic video clip and very controversial verse (by today's standards, disregarding context). They are an amazing Band that are worth a deep dive. Roots, Pub Rock, Bluegrass elements, Progressive, they covered decent ground. They weren't angling for trendy, their undeniable chops made them immensely popular around the world. Some absolute epic songs like "Tunnel of Love" and "Telegraph Road" with stunning, moving Solos. The heart wrenching "Brothers In Arms", The stirring "Going Home", the brooding "Private Investigations". Great pop with "Lady Writer" and "Down to the Waterline" and "Romeo & Juliet". Dire Straits were a top class, supremely talented Band that truly deserve their place in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame (even if Mark Knopfler didn't even show up to his own induction).

@Fred-hk7wk 2 года назад

Not to mention having written the scores for at least 6 movies that I know of. And to be fair regarding the Hall of Fame induction, it wasn't that he didn't want to go but rather, he had other obligations. Had his priorities in order.

And the new section that was created for this live version at about the 12:20 mark is so simple chordwise yet incredibly dynamic and beautifully creative. The new guitar motif that Knopfler creates at about 13:12 is so amazing, especially in the extrapolations he applies to the original idea. No doubt about it, they were a fantastic band and he's a master, and this version is nothing short of genius. Luv ya Dire Straits..

@gregbale7598 9 месяцев назад

The great guitarist Chet Atkins developed a number of different sounds and chord combinations over his long career. In an interviewc he explained that one day he listened to a Dire Straits CD as he heard Mark was supposed to be good and recognized some of his own chords in the melody. He was impressed enough that he asked his manager to get word to Mark that he would like to meet him. Mark agreed and they met when Mark and band was touring in the US. They became close triends and Mark even bought the house next to Chet's to make visiting easier when Mark was in the States. They remained friends up to Chet's death. I saw a video of them doing a show together and as amazing as Mark is, Chet was even better.

I must have watched the Alchemy live album a hundred times and it still gives me goosebumps ¬! The group leader, Mark Knoffler is probably one of the best rock guitarist, and he writes loads of stuff inc., musical scores - e.g.The Film Local Hero ?? Mark must be about the same age as me now, maybe a bit younger and still going ! Dig into this album and try " Telegraph road " next ! Also have a look at " Tunnel of love " from their Live at Wembley concert !! I think it was in 85'. That unique guitar sound from a guy who does not use a pick - Phenomenal !!

Ive watched this performance more times than i care to remember and I'll continue to listen to it well into my old age. One of the greatest live performances in music history.

Hey Guys! Dire Straits was my very first rock concert and it was on this tour when Live Alchemy was recorded! This was their tour for the album "Love Over Gold"! Mark Knopfler is one of my all time favorite guitarists! Some of their other great songs: Once Upon A Time in the West, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway, Tunnel of Love, Telegraph Road, Private Investigations, Industrial Disease, Brothers in Arms.
