Dire Straits - Six blade knife [Rockpalast -79 ~ HD]

[@tgntech7414]

This concert should have been a live album, one of their best early performances

[@shrimpu]

Incredible audio quality for the time.

[@kiko-w3v]

Totally agree with you, the sound of this concert is amazing, the way they're playing is so cool

[@rikvandekolk1180]

45 years later, still gives me the chills

[@joannehack7588]

Me too

[@andrew.l.5493]

One of the best albums ever. Early Dire Straits was never matched later on.

[@RedMissou]

I keep listening to their debute again and again, sometimes i dont listen to it for a few days and then i go back to it, its surreal how can a band start their carrer like this. Truly incredible

[@muddygold6955]

Never

[@simongrech2268]

Disagree with never matched ! All of their albums are gems ! Have you ever listened to Love over gold ? Q magazine had called it the Rembrandt of rock music

[@SagaciousFrank]

​​​@@RedMissou, it's raw and unvarnished. Later albums suffered from overproduction, along with a different rhythm section.

[@greenwich1754]

You can never tell me otherwise. The lean, clean, sparse, bet yet perfectly timed guitar leads on the first album are gold.

[@neworder11111]

Absolute masterpiece. Knopfler definitely has the feeling and groove.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Fantastic. To go back in time to created moments like this, priceless!

[@Blues1206]

I Agree that

[@diioxidjefferson614]

If he did not have his skills to be there then, you would not be able to make a comment "now". If he had not been, you would not be.

[@mojopin70]

I've had this album since I was 12 years old, its hands down one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion....

[@aliceroberts4808]

+mojopin 70 I agree !!! I find it hard to listen to the later dire straits after hearing this early stuff . The band just wasnt the same after David and Pick left . This is the pure raw stuff

[@jackbeam56]

Totally agreed with it :-)

[@dhammdeepbhagatdd]

@@aliceroberts4808 agree with you on this.

[@greenwich1754]

Yup! Had it on vinyl, cassette, and cd. Somehow missed 8 track!

[@greenwich1754]

@@aliceroberts4808 Especially after Pick left. I know nothing of drumming, but those that do say he was very good. Listening to Terry Williams vs Pick, yeah I can see Pick was more solid/creative. Terry seemed rather run of the mill. As much as I appreciate the starkness (and for me, the true Dire Straits sound) of the first two albums (which include David), I think the addition of Alan Clark was brilliant, as his piano prowess is phenomenal (listen to Telegraph Road).

[@dangall48]

i play this every night before i go to bed just to restore my faith in music

[@william_coduks]

Still playing it??

[@dangall48]

No, but thanks to your comment I am watching it again now :D@@william_coduks

[@peggie7126]

This is my favorite concert!!!!! I cannot get enough!!!!

[@johnpitchfork3866]

[@danieelgm]

One of the best performances of Dire, without any doubts!

[@tamaraivan4713]

Same here. One of the best guitars ever.

[@dorseywalker2737]

0:47 smoothest lyrics and guitar riffs I’ve ever heard

[@simongrech2268]

What a gem this debut album was ! Still sounds so fresh to date ! Unique

[@phlyers13]

Haven’t heard this classic in ages. Glad I stumbled across it again.

[@Muzapolis]

Recorded 42 years ago !! Great audio quality of this DS master piece. Mark Knopfler proves he belongs to the top guitarists in the world.

[@z1205]

On all of the dire straits videos I’ve watched everyone talks about Mark’s amazing guitar playing but I don’t see no love for his VOICE! This dude is a bad ass!

[@gustavo93br]

WOW, I never thought I would like a band so much like I like Dire Straits. I have been listenin these songs for ever and everytime i tune it, it sounds new again, everytime i tune it, i hear something dif in marks guitar.. Amazing!

[@kalukremu]

Still sounding new 11 years later I bet 🤣

[@tgntech7414]

Agreed, especially when u take a break and then put them on again. Mind blown

[@rockchilliad905]

Quarantine and good taste in music Brought me here

[@AstroWrLd44]

Most underrated bass line of all time!!

[@juliagrageffe5302]

Huhuh yeah

[@dimitrissiozios1461]

Excellent color in the voice and Excellent color on the guitar...Mr. Knopfler

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

I glad to rediscover the music of my youth. I followed Mark 's daughter (didn't know that was his daughter) and rediscovered such great music. Beautiful.

[@mavenofmacau6391]

the part after he says "you know i dont want it no more" followed by the sound of the guitar. if that's not the perfect sound to illustrate what its like to be 21 or 22 i don't know what is . that's youth perfectly captured in music .

[@pianodore4639]

Your six blade knife can do anything for you Anything you want it to One blade for breaking my heart One blade for tearing me apart Your six blade knife-do anything for you You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin Took a stone from my soul when I was lame Just so you could make me tame You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin I'd like to be free of it now - I don't want it no more I'd like to be free of it now - you know I don't want it no more Everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be A needle a wife or something that you just can't see You know it keeps you strong Yes and it'll do me wrong Your six blade knife - do anything for you

[@moekancha]

pianodore you mean Swiss knife 😀

[@arisstavropoulos9506]

I get down every time it's yours, all you got to do it's just to keep it close six blade knife do anything for you

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

She wields a six blade knife. She cuts you anyway she can. But always from behind your back, ya. How messed up is that? 🔥🔥🔥

[@wendydebois1685]

Love how he plays that guitar....yea!

[@johnmould5121]

Couldn't agree more..Marks lyrics are fantastic..I worked in Soho in years gone past..the words of Walking in the wild west end..take me right back there..I saw exactly what he's singing about...gives me goosebumps..

[@cornelbebie7400]

That's cool and hell ! does it swing ! Swing is gonna live forever with such youngsters. Mr. Knopfler is one of the great guitarists we are graced to listen to today.

[@JohannesLabusch]

You're right, of course, but three years ago, when you left this comment, the youngster in the video was a crispy 66 years old ...

[@Desire4Sound]

Usually i prefer electronic stuff but this here is filled up with so much soul! True music some would say, i say real good music! =)

[@monikaparmar2061]

@@jeromedupays1187 Sultans of swing is a very good song, but has lost its charm because it is played too kuch in the radio.

[@felsner1]

Everything was so sincere then... Just the four of them; no touring musicians, no synthesizers, no '80ies baby-boomers to satisfy. Imagine the laid-back vibe there must have been at these gigs!

[@patrickdiegodeoliveiralima3857]

Podem dizer o que quiser...mas nunca mais se ouviu música de verdade como as de antigamente. As músicas de verdade te fazem sentir prazer em escutar, as músicas atuais são feitas em escala industrial, sem "alma", sem sentimento. Por mais músicas de verdade!

[@rustycdrive]

i think that the song is about the guitar.. (6 strings) expression to love. hate. passion,, even addiction about playing the guitar.. or love.... everybody got a knife,, a needle,, a wife,, something you can't see!!!

[@JohnSmith-mx8wp]

That's "In the Gallery", another doubleplus great track from the first album!

[@georgetebbens3524]

The guitar players among us will notice that Knopfler seldom, if ever, uses the trem bar on his Strat during fills or solos -- a technique so crucial to the style of David Gilmour or Jeff Beck. Instead Knopfler uses the trem bar, as far as I can tell, only to "shimmer" chords during atmospheric intros or endings. (Like I do.) In fact, at the end of this song, you'll notice Knopfler manipulates the neck of the guitar to slacken the pitch of the chord, rather than use the trem bar to achieve the same effect -- like he's playing a Les Paul, SG, Tele, or other guitar without a trem bar. I've been a rabid Mark Knopfler aficionado since 1978, and a guitar player, and I've never noticed this until now.

[@pat976]

This is golden... anything off that first album is genius as far as I'm concerned.

[@kaushikganguli1091]

An absolute gem of a song which is at the heart of roots rock.
