Dire Straits - News [Rockpalast -79 ~ HD]

[@robinkjellberg6796]

This song deserved more credit than it got, I think it's of the best songs created by Dire Straits.

[@lokxxxv]

💯% agree, i also love "Where do you think you're going".

[@jacobdueholm9855]

I agree! That intro as you’re driving your car into an early morning sunup! Close to magic!

[@FilippoBombonato]

Absolutely true!

[@RecklessTheory]

This album is honestly one of my favorite of all time.

[@rickdemchak5533]

“Communique” is one of the best albums of all time!

[@feetheweasel]

Communique is one of my all time fav records. The production and tunes are perfect. Much better than Brothers in Arms, considered by many as their best work.....the groove on Communique is infectious!!!

[@Yoda-cm9of]

Yes i agree but sultans of swing is their best song

[@mattiadei8402]

@@Yoda-cm9of no, only a casual person say this

[@matiasjarvinen3064]

@@mattiadei8402Only a fool criticises someone elses opinion.

[@thomasjensen3214]

I agree!! It is my favourite DS album!!

[@FVT-tn8ji]

​@@mattiadei8402 that's an ignorant statement. Sultans has been very important for dire Straits' success and is one of their most famous songs for a reason because it is absolutely iconic. Might not be the best Dire Straits song but I totally get why it would be someones favorite song, it's beautiful.

[@wbravo66]

What a masterpiece, better live than the album version. No over production, pure pre-digital, pre over dubbed crap, just good "raw" music and what a talent, Who knew in 1979 what this man and band could do

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

Masterpiece I agree of course, but not for the rest.. it's not better here than the studio take.. the studio take is absolut perfection ! specially the solo!!

[@wbravo66]

Totally agree@@sebasdebordeaux8347

[@brenkelly5866]

if im honest,,this is my favourite DS song of all time...the solo on the album version makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up....wild west end is a close second,,,brilliant music.!!

[@wbravo66]

+Bren Kelly Me too, live music these days is media driven muppet, who can't play and instrument or write a lyric

[@anishpinto1]

Chuk chuk ugh ugh chinatowwwnnn

[@peterwright5249]

Bren Kelly ye I agree , it’s raw , no special affects just lead , rytham, base an drums , after the first to albums witch I’ve always felt was brilliant then they brought in the keyboards, game over they dident need em

[@senseipaz5019]

I know!!! is awesome song :DDD

[@GeorgeTel100]

I SO agree!

[@shankarlakshmanan6167]

Whatever happened to the past! Please come back soon. We’ll just pretend that you never left us... coz we never left you.

[@bradleywicenciak8005]

Communique is such a smooth album. My favourite

[@vanessacreech233]

I just cant say enough good things about this performance. I stumbled by accident on this 16 months ago and I have been completely hooked. I sent a copy to my dad and he loves it as well. This makes me happy.

[@julieweigley3708]

I know. I can't stop watching it.

[@wbravo66]

Vanessa, lovely comment the best live guitarist, ever best wishes

[@vanessacreech233]

Peter West Thank you Peter. I am so glad others can appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of this wonderful group. Cheers!

[@wbravo66]

Julie Weigley Me either just so good raw talent

[@wbravo66]

Julie Weigley Me either it is sureal, written 30 years ago, but relevant to day, best wishes

[@15377351]

In the late 70's, when I was 10, one of my best friend's uncle had a Renault 8. He was crazy about DS music. It takes without saying that every time he took us a ride a DS tape played at full blew up our ears. And that was the way I fell hooked by MK's drug music ever since.

[@jlbuenomeandro]

👌

[@kimibugge6718]

A legend on the guitar.

[@Exotic69420]

This song is so good DAMN!

[@Trideap12]

Great drumming by Pick Withers...he is keeping the rhythm tight..masterclass

[@Pthybrbr]

What a song, respects from France

[@timothygundlach3467]

Best motorbike song ever

[@kumarmusic6691]

One of my favorite songs. Here you see the energy much in his playing and also the drummer.

[@gabrielargentina]

You marked my teenage years. Thanks Mark for so much.

[@wbravo66]

This song is still relevant today, think about it, ice, booze, drugs, this song says it all

[@hilalaybuke]

lyrics hit hard for this one, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes..

[@andrea7744]

mark, you make me cry

[@marialauraeusebi6744]

None of the modern songs can make me feel like this one. Not even talented young singers.

[@arenasunset1734]

This fantastic music was real on 70s, and is unrepeatable!!

[@raphonx]

Best live version of News for me :)

[@thirdman27]

This song has been the roadmap to my life. A disgustingly heroic plutonium AquaBlue masterpiece.

[@caihundrel]

thats a pure gold - never heard anyone sound better live than the album

[@garff7557]

And it’s EVERY time, mark is special

[@timothy1450]

This is the music I listen to with my loved ones.

[@stevejones2344]

I agree. What an awesome picker. More important what an awesome "old man" youngsters just need to take a minute, listen to his music listen to some interviews and respect real rock n roll. And RIP Neil Peart!!!

[@alexandrapascal6697]

This is to me the best of music of Dire Straits :D.

[@pearlfinder1]

sweet/melancholic/ heroic tune......unbelievable talent.

[@michaelpeart7754]

If anyone dislikes this , you seriously need to make an appointment with the doctor. You don't get better than this.

[@wbravo66]

This real music, not the crap we get today

[@JDarrylSSS]

@Levi Coinblyat worlds are colliding. i think this one is the real deal and tbh I'll really miss it one day.

[@muzikmind77]

Man this song is amazing...

[@cgmaster]

You know... there are moments... when MUSIC gets over.... and those moments are forever...

[@wbravo66]

Brilliant song, beats modern music hands down

[@JohnDoe-sz3lz]

*sips* yep, this is the music for me *mows lawn into the sunset*

[@colinmould2219]

This song always said a lot about the spirit of motorcycle riders, you make a line in the news.

[@DiegoMartinez-ps6pe]

today, still amazing

[@Northern_Queen]

One of my favourite songs by DS! Oh Mark Knopfler love you so much!! I was born way too late! ♥️

[@paulocapella1774]

I love the drummer.

[@armandogomes3742]

Pick whiter..

[@gorillapancake]

One of their best.

[@adrianstruys5644]

[@MrNaor82]

One of my Dire Straits favourite. Throw me back into the wild west from some reason, and this feeling is just amazing.

[@robinharper4667]

I've always loved this song, never seen it done live. Brilliant!

[@fredyrocazaurus8420]

Music can't be more real than this

[@wbravo66]

great lyrics, combined with subtle guitar playing this music history in it's best form

[@MattPerry]

He sticks to his guns He take the road as it comes It take the shine off his shoes He says it's a shame You know it may be a game Ah, but I won't play to lose He's burning the grass He take up a glass He swallow it neat He crosses the floor He open the door He take a sniff of the street And she tell him that he's crazy She's a-saying listen baby I'm your wife She tell him that he's crazy For gambling a-with his life But he climbs on his horse You know he feel no remorse He just kicks it alive His motor is fine He take it over the line Until he's ready to dive And she tell him that he's crazy Yes she's saying listen baby I'm your wife Yeah She tell him that he's crazy For gambling with his life He sticks to his guns He take the road as it comes It take the shine off his shoes He says it's a shame You know it may be a game Ah but I won't play to lose He sticks to his guns He take the road as it comes It take the shine off his shoes He's too fast to stop He take it over the top He make a line in the news

[@kumarmusic6691]

Do you know about who he is talking about? I think maybe himself..

[@kiwitihi4606]

@@kumarmusic6691 He's stated this song was made for "John", But clearly it's not about John Lennon, because this song was made in 1979, so people believe its about a close friend of his named John, Dying in a Motorcycle accident. Hence the lyrics "His motor is fine. He take it over the line." and "he's too fast to stop." Edit: So in his 1980 concert he actually stated this song was for John Lennon, as in he was gonna play it in his honor. Not that the song was made about him. Sorry for making a complex reply 😅

[@cgmaster]

Thank you, Mark!!!

[@FranciscoGomes-uf8su]

What a masterpiece!

[@beseeingyou6]

this song deserves more credit than it is given. very nice sound to it.

Mark knopfler is amazing but his band is tight and keep it together ! But his drummer tho!! He's amazing and plays with absolute feel he's amazing... Just watch and listen to him

[@wbravo66]

I totally agree, amazing

[@al1976-v7m]

Yeah he's more of a jazz than a rock drummer, and his delicate touch was a big part of what made early DS so enjoyable.

[@LucaCieloDrive]

2023!!!!!

Wonderfull

Is anyone else enchanted when the drums kick in at 0:56 ??

Esto nunca debería terminar, qué buena música, vica dIRE sTRAITS.

[@tiguilherman]

I love that slow, smooth bassline.

[@MarkNehemiah]

Sad mark refuses to reform the band, I would love to hear this live.

[@greenwich1754]

I guess it's the old John Lennon reply. Someone (supposedly) shouted to Lennon: "why don't you go back to the Beatles?" John: "why don't you go back to high school?"

If you don't love Knofler's one of a kind style,you really don't understand music. I love music from every style and genre,and there's none better than Dire Straits.

[@francobarni4136]

Dire Straits didn't have many albums but they were a great band and those 6 albums had a way of sticking in your head. Knopfler is a genius with lyrics.

[@kaushikganguli1091]

Communique is the best DS album. Highest respect to Mark, David, Richard and Pick.

[@ronanod666]

amazing mate, cheers for upping it

"and she tells him that he's crazy, gambling his life(I'm your wife)" and the end of the song "He's too fast to stop He take it over the top He make a line in the news" cripes! i've known people like that, as we all did
