Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms Live Mandela FIRST TIME REACTION

[@stuartking]

The Mandela Concert was staged at Wembley Stadium in 1988 and was broadcast around the world on TV, Dire Straits were one of the first to be asked to play. You may have recognised Eric Clapton on guitar during the performance. He was drafted in at short notice because "the other guitarist" Jack Sonni had very recently become the father of twins.

The absolute best live version of this song. I was lucky enough to be there, and by god, there were tears in my eyes. Fabulous.

[@Cashcrop54]

Loved watching my favorite performance of Dire Straits and Mark. I can't get enough watching how he plays.

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

Only Mark Knopfler can let a guitar cry like this. The guy is just INCREDIBLE and unmatched. Go check out more life performances of Dire Straits, you wan't regret it. Like this one for instance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaraX93lMh1ocUsi=0STSOO8NBcGxTTov The solo at the end grabs me everytime, I can't help it. So beautiful!

[@hartmutpeter215]

Mark's guitar playing on it is so emotional and touching. Wow,what an awesome epic tune. I love it so much. A really masterpiece.

[@jbreacts]

Ya bloody right their buddy, and you could tell it was emotional for him 1 by the way he played but his expressions and a few pauses he took to get gather himself. Brilliant song and epic performance truly

[@helenabeanor]

This is a masterpiece (like all songs from the Dire Straits), a musical and emotional journey, and the most moving song ever. Having survived a war as a child, this song speaks volumes to my soul…Mark’s astonishing storytelling (from the perspective of a dying soldier in the Falkland Islands War, adding some anti-war morals in the last verses) and musical genius send shivers to my whole being. The heyday of this song is Mark’s guitar mourning. Listening to this song (and the original video clip) should be mandatory to those who stand for wars or segregation…This was a masterclass in composition and performance by the tightest band on stage ever. Thank you for reacting to the best band ever, with top musicians, and to one of their best songs. These guys are Gods of music!

MARK, IMPRESIONANTE ,sin duda el mejor GUITARRISTA de la historia

[@kentl7228]

Knopfler's performance was one where he zoned out and was absorbed by the solo. He was amazing that night and Clapton knew it too. His Tunnel of Love version at the thank you Australasia concert is very special too.

[@darrenshaw4305]

He left planet earth for a short while.. genius.

[@keyrat1753]

Outstanding song. Dire Straits was such a great group. I never get tired of hearing Brothers in Arms.

[@jbreacts]

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

[@georgesheffield1580]

Tribute to soldiers everywhere but particularly to those who fought in the Faulklands.

What a masterpiece. Just epic

[@peter9910]

Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road (both Live Alchemy) are awesome

[@charlesyateschalfant]

The master playing his Pensa Suhr MK1. I've seen him play live 6 times and used 3 different guitars for this track. This is among the best.

[@floberryboii3535]

[@Quicksilver51]

It's not about the Falklands laddie! This is a false assumption which has spread like Chinese whispers. It's a comment on the futility of war in general. The clue is in the images in the official video.

[@willfromyadkinville]

this war did not have to happen! so sad!

[@radio-su6lh]

Tragically no war has to happen.

[@tomosprey6310]

No wars have to happen government's start wars.

[@TomGorham]

Ir's about the Viet Nam war but it could have been about any war.

[@tedburg6042]
