Dire Straits & Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight [Wembley -88]

[@tbols1234]

This is the best live version of Wonderful tonight

[@joseaquino8773]

Agree! This is the one I was looking for!

[@ddss7]

Played for Dire Straits band! Amazing!!

[@Steview2]

Absolutely! The best by far!

[@lowneser]

how did the stage not collapse under the weight of so much talent?!?!

[@apollsa1]

Knopfler & Clapton: This is champion League. This is more than music, it's at least 3 levels above it

[@firewfire]

Its "OP" as the kids say these days...

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@firewfire Nah - they'd just call them "Boomers" =.O

[@10gale]

You think the 90's were good, you should have been a teen in the 70's! These were the best times. We could get wild, ride with guys we never knew, walk home alone at night, smoke with folks we had never met and not worry about catching something or someone killing us. The music and everthing was the best from the 70's to the 90's.

[@omartjo]

eric clapton + mark knopfler = legendary

[@kevinjones9713]

Knopfler supporting Clapton/Clapton supporting Knopfler. The two greatest guitarists in the history of music bar NONE on one stage. Its the stuff dreams are made of

[@tieukhavu8832]

He (Mark Knopfler) also played with him (EC) on a tribute album to J. J. Cale.

[@Tadini23]

You know you're good when you have Mark Knopfler playing rhythm guitar for you

[@ddss7]

Since it was actually a Dire Straits show and Eric was supporting But in the end it's all the same! They are amazing!

[@steventurner9949]

Brilliant comment!!!

[@adotiodo]

Actually Eric played rhythm guitar for Mark Knopfler in this show.

[@JoeDavid24355]

I'm still crying when I here Eric Clapton. I know it's stupid. It brings up so many old memories. In addition to Mark. Simply: Marl+Eric=God of Guitars

[@john9944]

One of the all time great love songs. Patti Boyd should be in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame as an inspiration. For this song Lalya and Something. I always thought she was very pretty but never understood the impact she had on George (rest his soul) and Eric. But, it was undeniable. Thanks Patti.

[@Steview2]

The most beautiful version of this wonderful song! Not too fast, not too slow, and with much feeling in every word and chord. I always get goosebumps when Eric starts to play the final guitar solo! Epic!

[@rochellenavarro4155]

The best version. This is my most favorite song of Eric’s and there’s several! Mark & Eric together and musical arrangement was amazing.. their complimentary vocals and guitars playing❤. I miss the hearing the keyboards played like that (in the beginning) ❤❤

[@danielpittman889]

I love the subtle changes Eric made to the vocal melody for this version. At this slower tempo there's more room for him to stretch out. Imagine if Marcella could have joined them for some harmonies!

[@joannemccord7478]

When a great song can't get any better. Dire straits came along and did just that.

[@UrsulaBornhauser-l8f]

Wonderful show thanks for posting 1❤eric for ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bkkbound]

I,m 56 hrs old and have been at a fair few Wembley concerts but this stands out as one of the finest I attended...

[@whitti15]

Sometimes i wish i was born 10 years earlyer so i was 18 and could have seen stuff like this. Unlucky me eh. But my children will grow still with songs like this played in our house.

[@nihaar1000]

and i thought i was the only one.. kudos mahn

[@bethbartlett5692]

I feel that way about Sinatra - Dean - the Rat Pack, most thankful for what I've had, the people, friends, music, and meeting him - my husband was managed by his people. I understand the Passion of the music / genres - that define us - who we are... Eric Clapton and so many great artists - were my daily feed in the 70's - (high school & college), the time passes so quickly, I'm thankful for KZbin - opportunities to revisit the eras. :-) Peace! :

[@SunandanMahant]

I wish I was born 30 years ago :)

[@stefanbode1028]

I already do 🙏 i'm 12 and this music, it makes me THE happiest i have ever been. 😩💗

[@rodneyhunting7072]

And the Grandkids 👊💥🙌

[@songeronly]

Gods on Earth Clapton and Knopfler are Legends forever

[@sgbsgb56]

The whole Dire Straits and Eric Clapton set was brillint at this concert worth checking out other songs on you tube

[@bethbartlett5692]

Here are 2 British men this Irish American girl has immense respect for - (their gifts/talent and the person each is).... My heart goes out to EC - I know he is suffering the loss of his friend - my sweet homie, Mr B.B. King. RIP PEACE to all -

[@tieukhavu8832]

Don't forget George. He invited him to play on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

[@FlowerShopGuy]

Two legends on the stage... Playing such an wonderful song

[@alicecastro1768]

Classic Rock at it's best it gives me goosebumps!

[@anjo2932]

Listening to this song somany years after the Nelson Mandela concert makes me feel like I'm there again. Brilliant concert!

[@stookiebhoy]

I was there...........................amazing, unforgettable experience. 2 Gods on stage together

[@rogereyles466]

stunning version, love this song played by legends, all of them

[@BlueVanManYT]

OMG never seen this version before. My two favourite guitar players, one of my favourite songs, and I'm lucky enough to have someone who this could be the wedding song for x

[@sharkmanyt4431]

2 of the best guitar players in the world + wonderful tonight = a very wonderful night indeed

[@highlanderin13]

i saw this concert on tv when i was 16. i think, it was the first time i heard that song. and i still love it today ❤️.

[@bababaysmith]

Totally same here, but I was only 14. This gig made me life-long fan of both of them. Especially MarK and the band. Actually Walk from same evening was the final hit that changed my whole understanding of music. Goosebumps from neck to bottomcheecks from first note to very last. I think I still have this original Finnish television live recording on vhs somewhere in my parent's home. It hardly works anymore but it's worth of gold.

[@jimmysackllah1882]

something in the way, Layla, Old love, Wonderful Tonight have what in common, songs written for Patty Boyd

[@nevereverhavedone]

Jimmy Sackllah. And Patty answered it was George Harrison whom she loved.

[@davest23]

even though erics' marriage didn't last so long, he was in love with her for the longest time - and we are the ones who benefit, as it is said that eric wrote some of his most beautiful songs/ballads due to this. AND... this particular version collaborating with dire straits.... Sensational!! the two different guitar styles of clapton & knopfler together is so nice. really enjoyed this track.

[@ilovesanrioandmcr2031]

Yeah. Clapton wrote the perfect love songs while he was in love with her.

[@deb523]

The most beautiful love song ever produced. For a lovely lady Pattie Boyd.❤

[@cew118]

this actually brought a tear to my eye

[@elseMa5194]

Just so very wonderful" 👍Brilliant Legends

[@lennon1331]

The Best Ever Version Of This Beautiful Track. EC, MK and The DS Lads were magical at this Wonderful Gig.

[@loquenaldo]

looking at Eric's face at the middle of the song, looks like he was about to break into tears there...

[@est3inb3rg]

you look into that mans eyes when hes singing this song, and see a wounded soul

[@jaimebucu6256]

the best version ever of wonderful tonight

[@grethe1956]

I remember watching this version on TV at the time and crying my eyes out. It’s so beautiful.

[@MariaDoloresAmores]

[@kellyfleming5601]

My heart just went back to the 80s dancing with my guy on the dance floor ❣️❣️❣️

[@sharon3133]

[@bgw316]

They both play remarkably well and also have a duo performance here on youtube and I was blown away.

[@SlayerzAngel]

I'm sixteen, and i MUST see an Eric's concert , he came to Brazil but it was far away from my town, hope i can make it to England someday and see him on a live show.

[@foxhound5702]

Clapton and Knopfler playing on stage together is better than a bank vault full of gold!

[@gamecatcher99]

No matter how old Clapton gets, he will play guitar till he dies.

[@1wannabee1]

[@pedrinho912]

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize how much I love you It's time to go home now And I've got an achin' head So I give her the car keys And she helps me to bed And then I tell her As I turn out the light I say my darlin', you were wonderful tonight Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight

[@elausente21]

Touching... it was about the same time his marriage to the woman who inspired this song was disolving... you can feel it in that sweet string bending
