Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" performed by The Classic Rock Show

[@718Gilbert]

The sound engineer is the real hero of the group.

[@alduderinodude]

Shure he is, but the band too!

[@BrianPaulCinematography]

And let's not forget the video director. :)

[@lenon.moreschi]

Yes, he is playing on stage, not the band.

[@UCqkdtMiE5ZquD_lF9prae4Q]

YES

[@waynemorrison5204]

The sound is 👌

[@cowpuddles4851]

Love that lead guitarist. He’s so freaking versatile and talented, and the dude can belt out a song when he needs to. Love to see more of him!

The way he imitates Knopfler’s voice - cool :-)

[@a.khusyairie5573]

that was the coolest guy in this video.....even "i want my" phrase at the end of the song also magnificent

[@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys]

Absolutely Right On~!!!

[@tylerzaynvilla4077]

Excellent

[@mikedemirdjian9976]

@KeenlyJohnas I don’t really think the lead singer was imitating Mark Knopfler at all. His “that’s the way you DO IT” sounded more like someone from a motor cycle gang who is in utter love with the song and paying their own homage with the emphasis of the way they heard it sung by Knopfler, Meaning I still think it sounded cool, but not an imitation by any means of the original artist.

[@lesleyjolly9273]

I LOVE the mixing on this track! Good sound engineers make sure we can hear all elements of a band clearly, and we can certainly hear everyone here. Strong driving bass, powerful drums, fantastic lead guitar, and all vocals (which often doesn't happen). Wonderful ensemble playing, supported by a great crew on the sound desk, and excellent light show.

[@ScottPankhurst]

agreed. vocals come through very clearly, and I like that the keyboard comes across well too.

try to see REO brothers and see it for yourself. they use basic instrumentation and yet produce authentic sounds unlike this bands who use better system and instruments.

Wow that lead guitarist is the best "and he can sing" , how much talent does one person want , fantastic !!

[@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys]

Merle Haggard once said about Glen Campbell "Sometimes God gives some people TOO MUCH TALENT" He was right after all~!!

[@horseman528]

You know you're getting old when you see a whole audience of old folks listening to rock music. We didn't think we would ever get old but it slipped up on us.

[@GeordieGuitarGuy]

That is such a difficult song to perform live to sound that close to the record and they nailed it, especially Howie on lead and vocals. Every last person watching should have been on their feet.

[@ronnietoots6797]

I am actually sitting, but it is 211 am and I am listening for the hundredth time.

[@georgestokes5116]

hes good but not as good as mark.

[@bidhanpradhan1692]

Very very close. No person can sing this particular song as Mark did.

[@jonnysongs]

They tidied up the sound in post production, it didn't sound like that live

[@nutikr358]

This band is beyond words they are so good!!!

[@dr.debajyotibose2928]

Knopfler still remains the premier rock legend !!

[@reynaldoperez2268]

I agree

[@emmanuelsalvino5907]

Debajyoti Bose , no argument on that...but nice 👍 cover indeed.

[@stumpusMaximus]

Mine has always been Brian May, seen Queen 3 times (Freddie, not lambert) A guitar made out of an old piece of oak mantelpiece and motorcycle springs etc, and plays Brighton Rock, Prophets Song is just insane! But I love rock guitarists and have done my bucket list of bands but missed Led Zeppelin, ironically for Queen. 🤘

[@wecandobetter9821]

No doubt The man is a beast on the axe!

[@Chiungalla79]

Agreed. Alchemy live Sultans of Swing is (to me) the pinnacle of music history. A few came close though: Queen, Led Zepplin, Eagles, ...

[@BrianPaulCinematography]

As a video director, editor and a musician, I have to say this is an OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION!! Very well done. Oh, and the band's not bad either. ;)

That’s true when you see them enough.

[@susanjones4980]

If they wrote their own music, that would be something else, but it seems they have not. Such a pity.

Omg! That's one of the best cover of the song that I've watched performed live! 😲 Great job! Guys! 👍👍👍

Isn't it forbidden to be better than the original? Randy, gosh, love it. So hot. I want my MTV back!!!

[@raffitorossian6994]

An excellent performance of '' money for nothing'', plus, the drum sound was superb, and the drummer was an excellent artist as well, and finally everything in this video was extremely superb. Congratulations.

[@hyflyin1]

This was an incredible performance, I am so happy to have found it !!! Love this song, and these guys blew it out of the water !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@naderbelcliftondhe5947]

the absolute best version of this song anywhere....bar none!!! Haha they actually kept the original lyrics in the second verse

[@doomedscholarstudios3824]

One of the best covers I think I've heard of the song... and yeah, keeping the (original) lyrics was ballsy... but given the performance they gave I'd say worth it. They did the gentlemen responsible for the song a tribute

[@armstrongashley0784]

Hell yeah. I'm so sick of hearing the edited version. Every avenue of radio i listen to, has cut those lyrics. I was wondering, coming into the video. Bad ass song, and these guys did a damn fine job of covering this masterpiece.

[@rockingstar3534]

Wow, the guitarist had a very unique voice. He is definitely a frontman quality! I am impressed!

[@tigervv6437]

They are really good, but it is too clean in my opninion to give it that Dire Straits live feel.

[@MemeNatorius]

@@tigervv6437 not sure about it. I think Dire Straits had very high sound quality and played with great precision, so Dire straits sound was ''clean'', just maybe recordings in youtube are not very high quality so it sounds a bit ,,dirty''. But I agree, that its the best Dire straits cover, its very hard to play this song in the right way, but they did it perfectly

[@tigervv6437]

@@MemeNatorius I don’t know if you have ever listened to live versions, but Mark tends to deviate quite a bit from the studio version. Especially in his later period. Not only improvising the solo’s, but generally having a different sound than on the recordings. He said himself in an interview that he thought the studio version was too clean in retrospect. I‘ve seen him live several times and there are also high quality soundboard recordings on youtube from various concerts. Mark can be extremely clean live, especially on his earlier work, but usually not on Money for Nothing.

[@MemeNatorius]

@@tigervv6437 so by playing clean you mean playing the same like in the recordings? If this is the case, so yeah dire straits never play the same like in the recordings.

[@michaelbell7541]

Glad they kept the lyrics. It’s a time capsule. Inappropriate today but part of them. Can you imagine changing librettos to operas? Most are inappropriate today. Besides, people need to grow a layer of skin today.

[@alee_enn]

I'm a big Dire Straits fan, and I have to say this is one the better, if not one of the best cover performances I've seen. Mark Knopfler will normally not do the long intro and instead start with the guitar riff. So all in all, Classic Rock Show, you did a great version here.
