Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Rockpop In Concert, 19th Dec 1980)

[@joaneckerstrom496]

The passion is still there-just mellowed

[@jimwilliams3816]

One of the privileges of my life is to be of an age that I got to follow Dire Straits from day one. What a revelation this song was when it first appeared on my FM radio.

[@aresbe]

Same for me and also Mark as a solo artistst

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

I was there in '78, but in Canada the next time I heard Straits was "Twisting by the Pool"

[@gregrose6915]

I remember it as if it were yesterday. Still one of my favorites. Still have the original LP

[@SamKnause]

I am in total awe of this multi-talented man. Mark is a gift to the world. He worked hard and sacrificed a lot to achieve his dreams. Thank you Mark and Dire Straits. I love you Mark. You have enriched my life with your music, your lyrics, and your beautiful smile.

[@laurageloni183]

Good evening, what a splendid and unexpected news. A beautiful way to still be together. Thank you. See you Friday

[@GoudLoodje]

Man, the crowd at the final solo makes me smile uncontrollably. I've been to many concerts but no crowds have come close to one as excited as it looks to have been in the golden era of rock. Wish I could've experienced that time

[@domenicov_versus3789]

Brutal version and as always played live in a different way. Actually Mark knows all the chords...... Immense guitarist, poet and songwriter.

[@doloresneilson5349]

He knows 'all the fancy chords". ;>

[@AgentRafa]

I agree 100%. Then a MK-hating moron enters the chat and says something like: "Fuck the songwriter/singer/lead guitar player; David on rhythm guitar and Pick the drummer is the best and the band wouldn't be anything without them". I'm not kidding, these people actually exists.

[@Loverovergold]

Mark=guitar George

i love this song so much❤ I listen to it every day when I wake up

[@johnnyredd360]

I'm so glad my papa listened to the 96.9 FM radio in Oklahoma, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have found all these great bands! This is basically my childhood right here❤️

[@BrandOdyssey]

Pick is great. But terry’s drum performance on alchemy is something to behold. He lifts every song and riffs alongside mark with incredible patterns

[@lucyFV]

One of my father’s favorite bands! I live listening to them and Mark Knopfler’s finger playing guitar is Iconic!👏🏻

[@amherst88]

Lovely to see Mark smiling ❤

[@ianrobinson4435]

I do miss this band, Mr Mark KNOPFLER was awesome as each time he was on stage… A masterpiece Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@anne-mariemeiffren7090]

Beaucoup de bonheur pour ce concert, cette version de SOS, le clinquant des instruments, et le panache des musiciens. Mark Knopfler toujours royal. Anne Marie, Laval, France

[@julymorning09]

All these years of loving this song and this is the first that I see Alan is the one playing those solo notes towards the end on the keyboard that I always thought Mark was playing singly on his guitar-at least until Chris White jammed along with the sax.

[@5wet_]

It's impressive how similar to the alchemy version it sounds even though here the drummer, sax player and 2nd keyboardist (the las two aren't even present) are different. Mark can make everything sound good ❤

[@mbertrand]

Same guitarist as Alchemy.

[@5wet_]

@@mbertrand isn't David here? I thought hal came later... Oh that's true! I just remembered, hal wasn't present on the recording of making movies but he was on the tour. Thanks, I will edit it

[@HEDGE1011]

@@mbertrand Correct; it’s Hal Lindes who had just replaced David Knopfler in the lineup at that time.

[@DDDquick]

And both are better than the funeral march/grand band versions from BiA and OeS street tours where the soul had gone from the group.

Keep practising Mark you will get the final solo to perfection eventually … 1986 Sydney climax !

[@marcusviniof]

Eu comecei a tocar guitarra por causa dos Dire Straits. 'Sultan's of Swing' foi um grande choque pra mim! Foi uma porrada em meus ouvidos, e foi por causa dela que me tornei Guitar-Solo; mas tenho que confessar algo a vocês.. Eu odeio essas improvisações que Mark coloca na música.. ele nunca toca Sultans igual ao CD que são os nossos solos de referência; nunca canta igual ao CD.. Enfim, eu prefiro as versões de estúdio. Live at BBC é o mais próximo que já vi. O Alchemy é uma obra prima, mas não gosto do que Mark faz especificamente com Sultan's ao vivo. Mas já li em algum lugar que ele não gosta muito dos solos dela em estúdio, e ele coloca 'Ao Vivo' aquilo exatamente o que ele gostaria de na realidade ter feito. Mark Knopler é um gênio da Guitarra. Um dos maiores e mais inovadores e geniais da história.

[@gracacosta4199]

Super!Show 👏👏👏👏👏❤

[@J54893]

What a stunning performance finally uploaded to the official channel. Terry's drumming in Alchemy is fantastic but there's something special to say about Pick's technic here. A very early sultans with the extended outro.

[@jacekzrodo7517]

Pick is poetry 7:54. Thierry is a threshing machine :-)

[@johncollins5552]

Pick has a great swing feel but Terry was a hard hitter, totally different ,both great.

[@johncollins5552]

Mark can always "make it cry and make it sing" like nobody else. Long live the Knopfler!

[@jacekzrodo7517]

@@johncollins5552 I only graduated from the 1st degree of the State Music School in the accordion and piano class, so I am moderately competent in the matter of percussion, but professional colleagues (drums) say that Pick vs Terry is a completely different league.
