Mark Knopfler, Telegraph Road, Córdoba 2019. Gracias a Jorge García y Antonio Cañas por sus magníficos vídeos. Dedicado a José Antonio por su generosidad. Sin su ayuda no hubiera podido terminar este montaje.
I seen Mark knopfler 14 times and he's played this about 9 times and everytime it just BLOWS you away in that concert hall, how the hell he's never been voted in the top 5 guitarists ever is beyond me, somebody somewhere has got it all very very wrong , GENIUS 👴🏼 🎸
Ich kenne erst seit Kurzem seine Musik und bin begeistert. Nun bin ich schon so alt geworden (81Jahre) und bin sehr dankbar dafür, dass ich diesen Musiker und seine herrliche Musik noch kennenlernen durfte.
I am 56 years old. On May 1, 1985, I was in military service in Israel. It was clear to me that I'm going to the Dire Straits show. I had to flee from the military camp I was at, to attend the concert in Tel Aviv. I'll never forget that magical evening. I was later sentenced to 21 days in jail. God.... it was worth every second in prison. Thank you dear Mark. May God bless you in good health Thank you forever
Great story, fantastic talent, beautiful music. Most don't know Knopfler or Dire Straits beyond what has been on the radio. My how brilliance and flowing ardor has passed them by. For the record, I love Israel and its people. How brave and forbearing the Jews have been for the last century. May the Lord watch over you always.
It's funy because i also see them in concert in Toulouse (France ) in june 1985 before going on military service the same year in december....(now i' m57 years old and living in Israel
para que serviço militar? como os ditos "humanos" são tão primitivos, já estávamos no século XX e a ignorância continua no século XXI que p.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I owe my tastes in music to this guy. My dad has always been a fan, and I grew up with Alchemy and Brothers and all the rest. What an incredible influence Mark, and all of Dire Straits, has been on shaping music... I am 49 now, and this is still as relevant and evocative as it was when I was a child. Simply amazing.
Well... I am 68... and I bow before a master guitarist and performer. Here is a man whose artistic genius precedes all else and he makes it happen in a way that few modern musicians can match... Just because the "would-bees" or could-bees" must mesmerize their audience in so many complex ways that perhaps much is lost in their great efforts! Yet there are amazing "Bees" out there that are absolutely incredible! It is just that sometimes we need to slow down a little... smell the coffee and dig this kind of music!
I'm 62 and never grow tired of listening to this master. Pure genius, Not many of these guys left now. Been a privilege listening to his music over the years.
Indeed Steven! I have tickets to see him here in Texas on Sept. 7th. Last time I saw him was Brothers in Arms tour 1986. From what I've seen on another video, this is the last of his touring. Rock on Maestro!
I'm 62 as well and a 45 years long fan of Rory Gallagher and Pete Townshend, but This Telegraph Road has allways moved me upside down. Mark Knopfler wrote, composed, played and sang some masterpieces of Rock n Roll. He is part of the legend.
With his age comes wisdom, patience, and if it's possible a better understanding of his music. And we sit back and listen with admiration, gratitude, and awe. Thank you, Sir.
One of the best songs ever written (and an incredibly hard one to play). And it's fascinating to see how it's been changing and evolving throughout the years as the musician who created it changed and evolved himself, but one thing has always been unchanged - Mark's amazingly unique guitar playing style. And as this version proves - don't let anyone think he got slower or worse at 70 - quite the opposite I think.
@Tienmernen He just looks elderly. And he never was a cheerful man back in the 80's lets be honest. He may have difficulty hearing, or not have the dexterity he once did. Still an absolute musical genius. Up there with Gilmour for me🎸
With the beauty of this music comes a sadness of time passing by, this song reaches so far back into my life. This man has touched so many lives. Keep strong Mark.
I was a paperboy, half of my salary monthly went to my parents, so I had left a little bit for myself for a pair of Levi's on my ass, and the first album of Straits, I was happy as a child, for the both of them, Levi's and Dire Straits, and out of my own pocket!
@@harry.lassche5423 love that...I saw the last tour..in Marbella..just could walk in..football stadion was 1/3 full.. I stood just in front of him...didnot stop crying..he didnot want to stop playing..he said he never had such little but great audiance... Wowww
I utterly understand the tears! Silver Eagle I played on repeat a year ago as I returned from my Mom’s funeral Service... & my mother-on-law’s just days before... & my neighbor’s that same dreadful October ‘18.... The fact they were not young in years was of no solace.
Estuve allí.....no tenía muchas expectativas porque ya tenía sus años....pero quería ver a mi ídolo de la adolescencia........y fue brutal!!......no conocía su carrera en solitario....pero cantaba las canciones como si las hubiera escuchado toda mi vida.....Telegraph Road en concreto fue el culmen!!!...Grande Mark
I don't suppose Mark ever gets to read any comments on these posts - but I busked Cordoba for a winter in the mid 80's - fantastic place - I loved it so much - was just a couple of years amy be less after seeing him playing live in the Roman Amphitheatre in Orange - First time I ever hear Romeo and Juliette. We'd heard the original dire straits album when we lived in Shetland just a few weeks after it was released. It blew out minds. WE set off travelling with our baby not so very very long after and never heard hide nor hair of much recorded music for a while. Roea and Juliette sort of cemented hima s genius in my head - he comes across as such a beautiful man - and a bloody genius of a musician - he's still doing it and please - don't stop!
Snap!! 50 here but sentiments spot on Lazy D. Class is permanent....Telegraph...Once Upon...Romeo...Tunnel....Making....Sultans....like a rolling river through heart n soul country. What's not to enjoy here!? Kick back with Lazy n me.....3 lanes movin slow.....
When he started in '78 with "w're the Sultans and then Communiqué and Telegraph road, he outcome as a unic musician. Then he performed all by himself and he even produced more beautiful masterpieces which always thoothed me and gave me deep joy and listened to him whenever on trip at Chalus mountain bendy road or by Lar lake fishing. All my love to him.
Don't cry I'm here with a huge bunch of untalented lying assholes bragging and bragging about all the ball they've had criminal activity they've all gotten along with SO FAR
Pues yo tengo casi 65 años y lo sigo desde que empezó, allá por el año 1978, con sus famosos "Sultanes". Y todavía no me he cansado de escuchar su música y sus revisiones de sus mejores temas. Ni me cansaré, mientras que él no lo haga. Siempre Mark.
L. Julio Olivar. Pues yo tengo a lo mejor la edad de este Guitar Man 68 años y no lo dejo de escuchar, la que más me gusta es Cards from Paraguay y Love Will fade away
And his voice... is like good wine! It matures and keeps getting better and better over the years. As a diehard I have been following Mark and his musical friends from Sultans of Swing onwards. What an enormous load of musical joy has this man and his accomplices given me. Can never thank them enough for it!
Yo estuve allí. No tengo mucha edad, soy adolescente aún, pero desde luego fue uno de los mejores momentos de mi vida. Ver a este maestro, oírle en directo. Maravilloso❤️
I too was there. This song came on near the end, in the bullring in cordoba. I was over the moon as it is such a masterpiece, but also because it meant there was at least 14 minutes more of the concert. Local hero was the encore, genius.
I have loved Mark since first heard him in 1978 and have probably everything he has released. Saw him live last year and I can honestly say this was not his best performance, sounds like he was under the weather - - good for him doing the show anyway.
I am 52 years now I am guitarist and singer I head that sound of his guitar and his style since I was 14 and never forget him until now that man can play and keep quite I certified when he add his strong voice I feel like I can fly
Mi canción favorita de Knopfler es siempre la última en directo que escuche... Qué capacidad de sorprender y emocionar con himnos que creemos conocer de memoria...
Este tema siempre ha sido uno de los que más me han gustado, y eso que todos me gustan muchísimo, pero Telegraph Road es especial. Gracias Mark por tu música y lo que nos haces vivir con ella, 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Bought their first album when i was 17, been in love with Mark's guitar playing ever since. The greatest electric guitar player the world has ever seen, without doubt. Great melodies and feel and such great songs. Pure genius..... and at 70 he's still got it! Brought tears to my eyes. Saw him live twice, 1986 and 199. Long live MK....
Uff, la primera vez que lo vi fue en en el Velódromo de Horta de BARCELONA el 5 de Junio de 1985. Ahora tengo 50 años y este hombre ha sido la banda sonora de mi vida. Mis respetos a una carrera ejemplar.
I was born in 79. In the middle 80th i heared the 79th "sultans of swing" @ old whistle contest and it hits me so hard, that i was a fan in seconds and i never will stop listening to Mark. It fills my life with happiness. love and greetings from Germany.
This man displaces my mind and soul to another part of the universe and it goes to show you that someone at the age of 75 still appreciates the greatest in music
I'm just three months older than Mark, and about 1% the guitar player that he is. It's painful to hear in his voice what I hear in mine and to see him dealing with what we both suffer in our aging hands, but inspiring to see and hear him still making such beautiful music and powerful statements. Keep going Sir, keep going.
I'm 75 and I still love listening to Mark after all these years. A TRUE VIRTUOSO. Unmistakable guitar sound and voice. Saw him live last in MONTREAL in 1984.
There is at least 15-20 live versions of this song on YT. Watch all of them and see how he tells a completely different story in each of the outro solos. That's what I call musicianship. As he is getting older, the stories are softer, warmer and more intimate, full of love. He is one of the greatest composer AND performer of our doomed century. Also his fellow musicians are always great.
thought he was on to do it all acoustic at the begining.. and said to myself "let's see.." but well he didn't. I think it would have been wonderful anyway, had he done it .. yes your comment is good! as for brothers (his two most beautiful and iconic songs) every time it's a new way of telling the story! and every time it's as good as the previous, whereas different.. "brothers" is maybe the most beautiful, but this one is the most powerful (song of all times)
He's magic, a real hero for all the guitarists all over the world, I started to play 25 years ago just because of him, i'll be grateful to him forever. Just a pity he can't play anymore like till the 90's, getting old, but still his magic is unique, I could listen to him 24 hours a day and not getting bored, even if now he plays very easy. Thank you Mark for all what you've done for the modern music, your name and carreer will sure be on music's history books, love you till I die i swear
MK is the best there is the best there was and best there ever will be. Saw him 6 times in Australia. One of the few old school artists that still has it. Nearly 70 yo. And still plays and performs like that. LEGEND . GOD BLESS THIS MAN
I saw Dire Straits' Private Investigations Tour in Perth WA, I was deaf for three days, but I will never forget it, amazing. He is my favorite modern musician and his writing and singing are so honest!
Well, I am almost 65 years old and I have been following it since it began, back in 1978, with its famous "Sultans". And I still have not tired of listening to his music and his reviews of his best songs. I will not get tired, as long as he does not. Always Mark.
There he is after so many years. Absolute masterpiece. Surfing the crescendo that everyone else’s building up behind. Absolute control. Absolute pulse. Absolute Masterpiece. Gracias, Mark. What a professional.
Se me eriza la piel cuando suena la guitarra de Mark. Este hombre de 70 años todavía ejecuta la guitarra con una precisión absolutamente limpia. Este hombre es un genio!!
I am a 66 years old German man. My wife and me marriage on 1976 and on our wedding shower we played dire straits. Since that time up to now I never can end hearing D.S. and M.K. I cannot be satisfied enough hearing this man with his guitar.
@@jinkertsun If I could play half as good as he can, I would never be good enough, anyone can try to copy his playing, but no one will ever be in the same league as someone with an outstanding musical talent like MK
I remember him walking out on stage in Melbourne in 2005 and my eyes filled with tears I was that emotional seeing him play, he and his music saved my life years ago in 1997 when in a real dark place. Wish I could tell him just how much his music means to me. Privateering is a masterpiece.
I'm 67 yrs young and have been hearing and loving these genius' since I first heard "Sultans" back in 1979---one nite I heard "Skateaway" while my wife and I were watching her daughter sleep-----such a MAGICAL memory. . . . .
What a pleasure listening that marvellous sound. Mark and band brilliant in this intimate version of "Telegraph road". This was the song with which I became an unconditional fan when I listen to Dire Straits first, when I was 16 years old. Now I'm in my 50's and this song, Mark Knopfler and all his songs since that moment accompany me and they're the soundtrack of every day in my life. We're going to miss him at his live concerts, no doubt, but we will always have his songs to enjoy!
I have been listening to Dire Straits since the age of 15, and I'm 52 now. Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler were my warm musical friend in times of darkness and joy, and are still giving me a tremendous joy every time. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for giving us so much.
I first heard Mark Knopfler in 1978 and since then it has been my favorite band and performer. There are also Deep Purple, Marillion, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Uriah Heep, Genesis, Yes but Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler are the best.
Youngsters watch, listen and learn THIS is pure talent without all the show. Passion and emotion told by a guitar, and a man.. Mark I'm still a believer since I first heard Down to the waterline back in 78
Mark invecchia, suona più lento, le dita a volte si distraggono, la voce è meno incisiva... non è più quella scintilla di ieri, anche solo dell'ultimo tour. Eppure emoziona come sempre. Nelle sue espressioni e movenze sembra quasi che gli dispiaccia non servire più la sua musica al suo pubblico come sapeva fare. Un congedo dolce e dignitoso. Grande persona! Grazie per il video.
Il tempo è impietoso e tremendo. Forse è questo la meraviglia di essere umani perché ogni giorno che vivi lo vivi sapendo che quel tempo non tornerà più. Diciamo solo grazie a Mark per quello che ci ha dato in tantissimi anni e poco importa se ogni tanto una nota non è quella giusta o che ci si aspetta. Grazie per aver accompagnato la mia vita per 40 anni.
spent my teenage years on the Gold Coast- bit of a cultural wasteland, but was fortunate enough to have a friend with good taste. my first live concert was Dire Straits, feel super privileged to have seen these guys live at such a young age. ( and totally forgive them for twisting by the pool! lol) What a legend/shaman/ soul man Mark Knopfler is! All time fave is Telegraph road and Romeo and Juliet.
