[@dansernerkhi8995]

They were rockstars already when this version was recorded but the drummers Father had never seen him play with Dire Straits before this concert in 1983. So I think therefore the drummer Terry Williams brought His playiing to the next level for sure ;)

[@reimannx33]

All of them are superlative, and the drummer . .oh the drummer, have mercy.

[@form_52]

Mark Knopfler is hands down one of the Most underrated and overlooked guitarists of all time. He's an absolute master of the instrument.

[@chrisalloway4189]

I agree.. underrated by many.. the man is so smooth.. in my opinion one of the best.. check out Clapton's reactions to his playing.. they jamed together several times back in the day on big time event stages..

[@lavrentivs9891]

I wouldn't say that he's underrated. He's seen as one of the best guitarrists in the world, mentioned alongside names like Brian May, Gary Moore and Hendrix.

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

PREACH!

[@StormyPeak]

@Evyatar Hadar If I recall correctly, in the early 1990's... the great Chet Akins, one of the best guitarist out there and acknowledged as such across the genres...said that Mark Knopfler was one of the best he ever encountered - that was pretty much instant god-level for Mark...lol. When one of the greatest says something like that about another talent, people sit up and listen.

[@jackhyland1875]

Terry Williams ever more underrated, the fact he’s so unknown and only Dire Straits fans only know him is unbelievable

[@robertstoner8244]

Ya he was just killing those drums

[@robertstoner8244]

So I agree on how amazing the drummer is

[@BRLaue]

The drummer is Terry Williams and the story goes that his father was in the audience and was seeing him play live for the first time.

[@kenbaker3300]

Well Terry's father would've bin very proud in other words Terry's dad was blessed

[@geoffelder2236]

Check out his drumming on Rockpile's only 'official' album "Seconds Of Pleasure" (1980), a mini-super group featuring Nick Lowe (bass/vocals), Dave Edmunds (vocals/guitar) and Billy Bremner (guitar/vocals). Definitely check it out if you like a little rockabilly/R&B/new wave sound, you won't be disappointed!

[@TriptoCo]

In this review, Marks look over at the lead with a "Terry is fucking amazing tonight man!".

[@silas2350]

I`ve watched most drummers closely for around 50 years, this is hands down my most watched version of any tune or performance and its mainly because of Williams. A rarity and an absolute pleasure to witness a musician so in tune with his craft and those around him. 11/10.

[@reimannx33]

The drummer left me stunned.

[@gerrysmith5597]

Love your reaction to one of my favourite bands - I'm 69 and listened to them a thousand times and they still never fail to move me.

[@LordGanondorf.]

Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel A great song

[@jennywren7822]

Mark Knopfler wrote the words and music, arranged it, sang it and played his guitar as only he can, everything from this masterpiece came from Mr Knopfler. He's just turned the young age of 73 and was still touring up until 2019. The mans a GENIUS...

[@freckled100]

The drummer was outstanding!

[@a.t.l1576]

Brilliant drummer

[@robertstoner8244]

Yes the drummer killed it big time

[@larisonjohnson]

I love that smile from Mark Knopfler at the end. Such a talent. But your right, Terry Williams made this song great.

[@chuckaspegren5528]

Terry Williams is an absolute beast of a drummer

[@makkie211175]

Before streaming, i always gave youngsters ( i am 46 years now ) at their birthday the Dire Straits Alchemy album to learn what great music is. And everyone who got this birthday gift thanked me greatly for it.

[@user-oi9to7ux7k]

Well done, sir.

[@thegroovetube3247]

Yep, I've loved Dire Straits for around 40 years ... and the drummer steals the show in this performance.

[@richardhargrave6082]

When I was 17, back in 1983 I went to see Dire Straights, at Hammersmith. We didn't know how special this was until 39 years later. OMG it was fantastic, but didn't realise at the time. We didn't think it could be as good live, we were wrong. I remember that it was better! Good times

[@MeaHeaR]

u musta bin pissed unt Drugghes 💊 💉¿¿¿

[@Jack-pu4rf]

I agree with you on this, the drummer was great he is one of the best, I just love Dire Straits this was one of the best live performance's I have ever seen the band is made up of top level musicians, thanks for your reaction,

[@templeofthehut]

Fun fact about Mark Knopfler. He plays guitar without a pick.

[@slownoman]

And is world class- like Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Robert Johnson, Son House, Woody Guthrie, and a long list of other old-school Olympian guitarists.

[@jjc5407]

The studio version of this is one of the best songs for cruising. It's nice that you enjoyed it so much.🤗 What I love about this clip is how much fun they're having. Making your living like that wouldn't suck.

Did she enjoy it? She looked bored to me.

[@JayM409]

The best guitarist in the world and the greatest song ever.

Just found your channel. Glad you liked Terry Williams on drums. He was amazing. Dire Straits we’re part of my youth. 50+ years well spent.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Notice how closely the others in the group watch Mark and pick up on all his cues. That musicianship right there.

[@davidareeves3041]

Thanks for your reaction, and you are spot on, the drummer is TERRY WILLIAMS, an absolute star x

growing up in the 80s and 90s, my dad listened to a bunch of dire straits so mark knopfler was my first guitar hero. dad had this concert on VHS. dont know how many times i watched it. they were my gateway into metal lol.

[@madicelander]

These are far from "simple" instrumentals sister. The drumming and guitar playing is incredibly difficult and very very advanced lo. Mark Knopfler is a legendary guitar player and these are top of the line musicians.

[@tommarin1924]

The studio version is pretty darn good..few minutes shorter..but these guys live are as good as it gets. By the way..drummer Terry Williams was the tour drummer..not in the studio...and yes..he killed it.

[@highpath4776]

Is that the Terry that played with Rockpile ?

[@tommarin3468]

@@highpath4776 Yes it is.. Along with Dave Edmonds.

Man I love Dire Straits 🇬🇧😊🇬🇧

[@ingridgabelo2934]

😮 Wooow!! Dire Straits es fabuloso !! Marck Knopfler está considerado como uno de los más grandes y talentosos guitarristas...si te fijas, toca sin púa y con la mano derecha ( él es zurdo ). Los Sultanes del swing, es sólo una canción más de su extenso catálogo. Me encanta tu sensibilidad, sé que tal vez, no vas a la técnica propiamente tal, pero, tus reacciones son tan genuinas y sinceras que me encantas!! Gracias por traer la música de mi época 😊...de verdad, tuve la suerte de vivir la mejor música, hecha con puro talento; sin computadoras, sin auto tune... sólo genialidad. Un abrazo desde Chile (al fin del mundo). 🤗🤗

[@wilfbentley6738]

That drummer was on fire!

[@krisfox3537]

The drummer is remarkable. Watch this guy

[@cshubs]

One of my all-time favorite bands! I even saw Knopfler play a show at the Murat in Indianapolis around 2005. One of the best shows ever. Try "Romeo & Juliet" and "Telegraph Road." Life-changing stuff!

[@roboh27]

One of the best guitar players...Mark Knopfler.

'How simple the instrumental is!' This is regarded as one of the Best(if not the Best,) live instrumental performances of all time. Give urself a smack on the hand young Lady. 🤯 They make it look and sound simple because they are so damn good.

[@XAVIERSHIMEX]

i know what she means tho. its sophisticated and simple at the same time

[@johnmorgan9895]

Honestly, I still can't get over the comment that he is underrated! By whom? He's near the top of every single poll and discussion of the greatest guitarists of all time!

[@declanmueller2652]

I think the underrated comment isn't that he's not ranked highly, but the belief that his talent should place him even higher on the list than he is now.

[@lpeora]

I agree.. the drummer made this song in this particular concert..

[@waynebrown3266]

Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitar players there has ever been. The drums in this were amazing. The studio version of this is really good.

[@lizz5235]

The studio version has not got the GO this version has. But it is still good.

[@colincampbell5967]

i would recommend just about all their stuff, Mark Knopfler is a genius. Make sure its live

Great reaction! Watching the smile creep over your face during the first guitar solo, and then the amazement by the time you get to the 3rd 😂 Truly you are right about the drummer, he is a big part of the difference between this and the studio version which has a different one. First time his dad was in the audience. All the best 🍻

[@alabama1413]

Simply phenomenal performance as always. A band in total harmony & lead guitar Mark Knopfler is a legend. But like you say, that drummer was more than a step above others.

[@eturfrey]

You get a shiver in the dark It's a raining in the park but meantime- South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie, double four time You feel alright when you hear the music ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south London town You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing They said an old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the Honky Tonk like anything Savin' it up, for Friday night With the Sultans We're the Sultans of Swing Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call Rock and Roll And the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing"

[@thomedwards1919]

Dire Straits incredible musicians and brilliant live. Great reaction as ever Jayy, thx

[@mikecaetano]

That was a jam. The drums are more subdued on their studio recordings, but the lyrics are easier to make out which matters because their songs often tell stories. "Skateaway", for example, tells a story about a roller skater making her way through busy streets listening to music through her headphones and pretending to be the star in her own movie: "And the music make her want to be the story \ And the story was whatever was the song, what it was..."

[@SweetThing]

Skateaway is a gr8 song!

[@shirleykelly9971]

Mark Knopfler plays with the old bluegrass style of finger picking that's how he gets that melodic sound that you hear from the guitar great reaction

[@Cashcrop54]

I have loved Dire Straits from the first time I heard way back. I love the sound Mark gets from his fingerpicking style of playing. Its amazing to see in videos how he doesn’t just use his pingers to pick with but he will deaden strings as well to keep it all a clean sound. And watch any of their concert videos and there isn’t a bad song from start to finish. Thanks for playing them and the reaction!

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

Welcome to the incredible music of Dire Straits, Jayy! This is easily their best track, but second from top is probably "Telegraph Road" (the studio version for this song is much better than any live version; the sound is far clearer). Next in line is perhaps "Tunnel of Love" (the live at Wembley in 1985 is the best version) -- links below: "Telegraph Road": kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWWokGxoacdsibc "Tunnel of Love": kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaraX93lMh1ocU

Tone and action are paramount. You need low action so your fretboard can land all those notes; and you need barking midrange so even the faintest landed note sounds out clearly.
