The fact this song, One World, The Man's Too Strong and Brothers In Arms are all on one album speaks to the man's humanity beside showcasing his virtuosity.

[@musashimiyamoto586]

Dire Straits - the gift that keeps on giving. I hadn't heard that one and I am speechless.

[@hazy5340]

Yes Yes Yes.................. Finally........................

[@johnfallon3525]

Whenever I listen to this song, in my head I see mercenary soldiers, paid assassins essentially, stealthily working their way through a jungle. Mark's song-writing and story telling is outstanding!

[@aksuli1]

Best version of this song live 👌.

[@DJFalkoHannover]

That whole legendary baby blue "brothers on arms" album is the soundtrack of my life

[@andrewpetik2034]

I purchased the 'Brothers In Arms' cassette tape for the song "Money for Nothing"..... and was pleased to find that the entire album is excellent!

[@CoastPropertyBuyers]

I was there. A simply amazing live experience. Thank you for allowing me to re/live this experience in a small way 🙏🏼

[@knopfleru]

"Hand in Hand" from Making Movies Album,beautiful song😍

[@user-hb3uh2vv9k]

One of my favorites! You and me go parallel together and apart.

[@fredericknalaremah939]

He starts playing and singing and we all go along for the wonderful ride!

[@vitods]

Hello, Mark is a complete artist like few others, from his almost unique technique for playing the guitar, how he sings, how he writes and the naturalness and simplicity with which he shows himself live really makes him unique. On that tour in which they passed through Sydney, they broke audience records in that city that lasted until very recently. Don't forget to review Knopfler's prolific career, his collaborations with countless artists, his early DS and his current work, One Deep River is his last work and beautiful little gems continue to appear. Thank you as always for the genuine reaction and for keeping MK present.

[@davidfeltz8697]

I totally agree! When you know you know! Mark is a total treasure!

[@peter9910]

Another great song and version! Couldn't have picked it better myself

[@ozymandias7940]

Greetings from Down Under once again! 🇦🇺 Thank you for reacting to my request, much appreciated. What a wonderful reaction to an often overlooked track. You explained it perfectly, MK's lyrical ability to capture the listener and his stage presence with the guitar, in this case a beautiful, uniquely sounding R-custom, hand made by John Suhr (though not a trade mark Pensa Suhr) to capture the audience. A stunning performance once again! Thank you. 🇦🇺🇦🇩

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

I was there that night, seemed like yesterday. Its a concert I will never forget. I love Mark and all the musicians who played with him during his whole career including solo.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Once again, many thanks. We would have never found this if it wasn't for you requesting it ☺️. Much love from Romania 💚

[@ozymandias7940]

​@@MerchantOfAlbaJust between you & me, I sense a bit of a 'man crush' going on between Andrei & Mark. I'd keep an eye on him if I were you! 😂😂

[@bennettl23]

So glad you were able to react to this song! Absolutely love this performance - what an amazing way to open a concert. Mark always seemed to arrange a very atmospheric piece to set the tone for a concert. Very hypnotic back and forth between all the instruments, especially Mark's guitar and Chris White's flute.

[@MatsKarlsson-kl7ws]

I was at the Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Tour concert October 26, 1985 in Stockholm, Sweden. Ride Across The River was the first song in this amazing concert by the Dire Straits. 🎸🙂

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow! That's something to cherish forever 💚

[@michaelhamilton1290]

Great song!

[@FredericRatel]

thanks for making me discover this version of this song. I only knew the studio version. What makes DS magical is their ability to elevate songs during live performances. this speaks for the quality of the musicians and hard work

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@lonepoulsen5802]

Masterpiece from Mark ❤❤❤👍 Lovely reaction ❤❤

[@dirkbusch406]

One of the many fascinating things of Mark is that there are so many different kinds of songs. Long ones, shorter ones, different styles. There you seee that he’s interested in making music and not writing a hit and do copy and paste to get anther one. When Dire Straits started to be successful the kind of music they made wasn’t "top of the rocks", there was punk and many other things. But it seems that - at the end - quality will last for a long time, that’s why you react to dire straits 40 years after their concerts - this music will also be heard in another 40 years!

[@annheckenbach9396]

Some bands that are old and familiar fade away from a play list, not Dire Straits. I appeciate Mark Knopfler more, not less. An amazing musician, first class. As I came of age with the Beatles, that covers a whole lot of ground.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

Fantastic performance from Dire Straits, everyone on this was in top form and Mark's guitar tone was amazing. I would definitely suggest reading his lyrics before reacting, especially for live songs as because of the way he sings, you can't understand them clearly, his lyrics are as important as his guitar playing.

[@wafupaul3731]

Been so looking forward to seeing a reaction to this one. Brilliant, many thanks 😊

[@robertogallego7796]

Esta canción abre ese concierto, el último de una gira de un año y medio, más o menos, una de las giras más largas hasta el momento. Si no recuerdo mal cerraron la gira con más de veinte actuaciones llenando el teatro de Sydney, algo que nunca había ocurrido y que creo que aún nadie lo ha superado,si estoy equivocado pido disculpas. Es fabuloso,abrir el concierto con una canción poco conocida, ritmo suave y de larga duración, simplemente te sumergen y te atrapan en su atmósfera,no dejéis de seguir viéndolo. Por supuesto,mi más cariñoso recuerdo para Jack Sonni,el segundo guitarrista, fallecido no hace mucho tiempo ❤

[@SamKnause]

One of my favorite things is when you post a new Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler video. I have watched all of them multiple times. Please keep them coming.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow, thank you 😊 Best wishes from Romania 💚

[@SamKnause]

Thank you. Best wishes to you from the U.S. I can't wait to see what treasure of Mark you view next. @@MerchantOfAlba

'Magical Flute' haha,rollover Mozart❤

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

Thanks

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for the support ☺️

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

Another great reaction guys. That following song at the end is called Expresso Love where its one of the very rare times Mark plays with a pick the whole way through and sounds awesome too. The song itself is so good and one of the very best versions going around. Cheers from Australia 👍🙏🎸🎸🎸

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thanks for that! 🙂

[@charlesyateschalfant]

I was there that night and one other evening, a superb show!

[@ravinderchauhan7255]

react to mark knopflers nobody's got the gun, one of his most beautiful songs along with lights of taormina plz, studio version only though.

[@jimsebastian2846]

Great review guys, as always. You should give the Grateful Dead a listen. They are known for the live versions of their songs. From the album Euroupe 72 listen to China Cat Sunflower/I know you rider. The songs are always played together and you’ll see why when you listen. Thanks!!

[@marcovimercati393]

I can suggest Planet of new orleans, Brussels '91... :)

[@antoniocarlin5026]

When Money for nothing ....live? With Sting and Eric Clapton...BEST VERSION EVER ❤

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

The Sydney version is so good too.👍

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Hopefully soon 😊

Huh? You know that wasn't Robert Plant singing, right? 😂

[@garyrobb5341]

Come on audience. Shut up. We want to hear them, not you.

[@user-hb3uh2vv9k]

Just can't get enough Mark Knopfler can you? He doesn't do anything not worth listening to!
