"Romeo and Juliet" - Dire Straits cover by Reckless Kelly 

Reckless Kelly is amazing! Until you hear these guys live, you haven't heard the best!

Absolutely brilliant. ❤❤❤❤

The greatest rock ballad of all time!!...

Very nice! David Abeyta is an awesome guitar player! RK is one of the best bands out there

Probably one of the best covers I've heard so far

Wow. I've never heard of Reckless Kelly, and while I like some country music, not my main genre. This blew me away. The guitar solo near the end was spectacular. Time to check out a little more of his stuff!

There are no words to express how much I love this video,

He's got that magic touch. Could listen to it for hours.

Don't ever stop, guys! Don't ever stop.

Likely the greatest cover I’ve ever heard.

This could be a country hit for sure !

I can listen to this over and over and over......

Absolutely a fantastic cover ! Willie's voice works so well for this song and Mark well enough said great job gentleman.

Man willie Braun is such a great musician. RK kicks ass

Aside from being a great band with their own great songs ; hese guys have great taste in covers. For a real treat check out their version of the great Richard Thompson's 1952 St. Vincent ......blew me away!

Until seeing this for the first time, I just thought Crazy Eddies Last Hurrah was my favorite song. Awesome cover . Wish there was a download on iTunes

One of my favorites by Dire Straits. Awesome cover!

Heard a few versions of this song, and this the absolute BEST

Best cover of this timeless classic I ever heard

Amazing cover of an amazing song by an amazing band...

great, so emotional. what a brilliant band, listen to their albums

Beautifully done man, great job

Not been here for a while guys but back tonight as this song/band is a place that brings me comfort ... great band

I used to mix a band that did this this rather power ballad style. This is so good to hear.

This song always had the ability to fold right into the country genre since the moment Mark recorded it on a resonator guitar. It's a timeless piece that not many can cover and do the song its true justice... these guys got closer than most.

Absolutely amazing.

Superbe interprétation !!!

awesome guys. damn awesome. enjoyed it a lot. cheers.

Absolutely great! Drummer was awesome!

Fantastic vocal !!

Awesome

Smashed it guys!

great voice good job !

Love to have been at that show

Thank you , one of my favorites by my pals Dire Straits :)

Greatness.

HOWDY FOLKS, please humor this good ol boy. Here is a mark of an absolute hall of fame TEXAS/RED DIRT band. Everytime these fellows do an original song every hair on your body stands on end, then the same fellows cover a song I've loved since I was a young boy in the 80's and tears start flowing. The first time I had the pleasure of seeing them was in Waco TX, and Austin TX way back in nineteen hundred and ninety eight. RECKLESS KELLY FOR LIFE

Really good voice

A very good performance, this is a really hard one to cover and you nailed it.👍👍👍👍👍

I really enjoyed this. I hope it's a regular part of your shows.

great song!

Wow!

I love the Spinal Tap moment when the Ampeg starts to hum. Call it schadenfreude.

Great video

great job guys

Right on !!!!

That violin tho 🤯

RK rules

beautiful

Of course they kill it. The only band to ever make Richard Thompson's motorbike go vrooooooom....

Wonderful

I'm not a country fan, but i like your version, well done. The killers version live at abbey road is brilliant !

Brilliant

I mixed a band in the mid-90s whose arrangement was eerily like this RK version. Which is a great thing.

Great¡¡¡¡

He sat on his bed, he strummed his guitar and he sang an outlaw love song.

😍

Somebody should tell Willie that he needs to finger-pick that song. :P Excellent work as always, gentlemen!

this is quite nice

So is there a version of this available for download somewhere? Only seen it on RU-vid and I love it.

nice job on this classic. Works really well as a country song, it really is a country song written in the wrong era.

Man, if these fans went nuts for this outro solo, they would be blown away by a Phish 'Harry Hood' jam! This was definitely a good cover, though!

Quality,.

Good effort, very respectful of the original.

Three men doing Mark Knopfler. I still love them reckless boys.

Thought I'd commented on this when watching but realised I'd only liked it...apologies...this is great

Please play this the next time you play The Cains Ballroom.

Still killing it in 2020, so there is something good to hear besides the daily turmoil people mindlessly march to..

Fuckin goergeous boys.....and im a fan from the old Austin days......keep on a hick-rockin........

Wow. Unbelievably good. Dare I say just as good as the original or better in its own way ?

Not only Mark K, but Will S. from Stratford-upon-Avon would be proud as well me thinks;-)

Love this song but Mark Knofler went to the Dylan school of tuneful singing where as this version man some one who sings in tune kills it

Are they still playing this now that Abeyta is gone? I’ve seen Willy play it solo but not in a long time.

Yes. Even better than the original. Exquisite musicianship. You guys rock!

I tell u what that Ryan engelman blah blah he's good from troubadours But don't u ever ever sit there and compare him to David abeyta!!! So much amazing improvizing talent he has!

Good, but I think no one can replace Mark Knopf for that song

lexus

rhtym not true

Doesn't come close to the version by Mark and Emmy Lou.....Check that out!

Better than Dire Straits

sounds so wrong ,wrong key ,,oh no
