Alchemy is sometimes called the greatest live album ever done.

[@grunthostheflatulent9649]

Hard to argue against it.

[@renevanderwal1895]

And it is the best live album ever.

[@Realmasterorder]

And one can see why right here !

[@Jeepell]

Of course it is

[@robertocaparrosvelasco6228]

I agree, absolutely

[@domenicov_versus3789]

Telegraph Road Alchemy is the 9th symphony of the Rock and Roll. There isn't anything like that on the planet earth.

[@daveclarke784]

Agreed modern classical music

[@murdoch691]

It's incredible I wouldn't have heard this but I met a girl who became my girlfriend she later became out as a lesbian I knew there was something different about her but she played this one night and omg it blew me away so I thank Michelle for the worst relationship of my life but the gift of dire straits ❤️

[@stephen897]

So what are the first 8 symphonies ? 🇬🇧 This is an absolute classic never to be matched !

[@steparko23]

Should have called the album Knopflers Ninth

Perfect comment

[@brianwayes3536]

I am 89 and just came upon this whilst surfing. I would just like to say I wish to God I had had found it 45 years ago. Incredible talent. Not a weak link to be found.

[@fideba1]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Telegraph Road isn't a song, it's an entire album. Best. Song. Ever.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

It's a MOVIE!

[@lydiabentley3413]

Definitely one of my favourites

[@davidfeltz8697]

Agreed. Song never gets old for me. It really is a composition and transcends rock and roll to a lofty art! Such a gem .

[@philging]

Mark Knopfler is a brilliant guitarist and a superb song writer - pure genius.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Truly a special talent. So unique. Dire straits live.. they slayed it!

[@kenwiberg6517]

and a Geordie to boot !

[@danwright9664]

I first heard this aged about 10. Even well over 30 years later I still get goosebumps. Absolutely incredible.

[@reenstierna6111]

I feel this is the best ever piece of piano playing in a rock band. He just ties every other instrument together like a family and it's also such an important instrument in this song, if it wasn't used in this song this song would never be this epic. I've always considered Mark's guitar playing as the best in the world but Alan on the piano is brilliant. He used to play with Eric Clapton and is the only player in Clapton's band to ever leave on his own accord and he moved to Dire Straits and that says it all. The Piano and Alan is as much of the star in this song as Mark and his guitar. I also love the bass and the rhythm guitars as well but really love just how delicate Terry is on the drums when he's just tinkling the cymbals gently and Alan is gently doing the same on the high notes on the piano, so much power and so much delicate playing is just bloody awesome. And at 56 years old I've loved this song for 40 years and my love for it gets better and stronger by the year. Sometimes when I'm listening thru headphones I just tear up with happiness due to such beautiful music. The main reason they're so bloody brilliant is because they're all happy smiling and jamming to something they love doing

[@CorradoCasoni]

Try to listen "By kind permission" from Jethro Tull

Loved your comment, says so much, so accurately! And, yes for the pianist to leave Clapton for Dire Straits is a story in itself!

[@ConstantinCatalin]

I m exactly your age and i love them sane as you for sane period of time.I NEVER get tired of their pieces of arts and particularly of this song which i used to call it a symphony.Your comment truly inspires me.Thank you.

Alchemy album is the best live album ever made in music , too much talents ans too much , i v never seen a live performance so clean like that

[@rogerhampton2844]

Talking Heads- Stop Making Sense is equally good and for a clean, live you need to go and see Steely Dan.

[@brunosmith6925]

Knopfler's skill as a poet - telling a moving and thought-provoking story - is often missed. Yes... he's a masterful musician - but a great poet too.

[@AnnMcKinlay-zp2ef]

I have said this before but I can’t believe how they manage to convey SO much emotion with their music!

[@Darryl_Frost]

in the 80's I used to play guitar all the time 5 or 6 hours a day, my friend asked me if I wanted to go see Dire Straits... As you would expect I did, I think I have seen them at least twice live (in Australia). Pure, clean guitar, and the band is next level.

[@mondeoman1954]

And never forget, this is LIVE music, no autocorrection, just pure, raw talent.

[@seanstevenson9891]

Three guitar solos from the master.

[@frankiefourfingers6717]

This song was inspired whilst Mark Knopfler was on a dIRE sTRAITS tour bus along Telegraph Road in the USA whilst also reading the book “Growth of the Soil” by Norwegian author Knut Hamsun when he wrote this song. Growth of the Soil is regarded as a historical classic. ... The novel exemplified Hamsun's aversion to modernity and inclination towards simplicity.

[@lunapuella2611]

I've listened to Dire Straits almost every day for more than 40 years. Your reactions to them are what I feel inside practically every time I listen to them. It's great to see you sharing in their greatness.

[@jlbuenomeandro]

My all time favorite too, listen to it every day🎸🎶😍

[@neilc1803]

Incredible lyrics, telegraph road is a masterpiece of art and music.

[@hermanmunster3358]

Jesus, that was INTENSE, gets me every time. Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour are probably two of the VERY BEST guitarists of modern times, if not THE best. But their styles are quite different I think. Mark's fingers dance ACROSS the strings, whereas David's dance ALONG the strings. Both BRILLIANT, and capable of stirring your innermost soul. Both Dire Steaits AND Pink Floyd are just beyond compare, both bands have BRILLIANT Drummers, Keyboard players, Bass players, AND guitarists.

[@Jeepell]

Best two bands for me. Talent, style and between them, they have some of the best songs of all time.

[@modmary1]

I feel both Lucky and Sad. Lucky that I was born in 1961 and started going to concerts in 1973. I feel sad, that this music will never be created again. I feel my Youth has been regenerated, by you guys, listening and appreciating this era of great legendary music. I want to thank you 🙏 from my old Heart ❤️

Those goosebumps you both had ? A 15 year old schoolboy who bought this album as soon as it was released in 1983 can vividly remember having those same goosebumps listening to this same song. Crazy that 38 years later, I can still remember the experience.

[@virgiliooliveira3424]

Também, abraços!! 🇧🇷

[@CarinTibellAhlin]

It's awesome to see your reactions. You have got to understand that when this LP, Love over Gold came out, in 1982, it knocked everyone of their chairs! I was 16 and I will never forget laying on the livingroom floor, reading the lyrics and listening, over and over again. Saw them live in 86 ❤ Do not forget Mark Knopfler as a storyteller. He always means every word he is singing and in every song, there is a story! Then and now! I love it, and I feel really lucky to have followed his music since -78. It's truly incredable. True love of music can never fade. Thank you Mark! No words are enough to describe this feeling of gratitude. ❤ 🎶🎸📚

[@terrilabeth7366]

Dire Straits....one of those bands and singers you recognize from the first notes, from the sound of his voice. Distinctive instruments, distinctive sound to his voice. They are awesome!! Thanks Dudes! ❤️

[@lewismaddox4132]

Dude, it's Mark Knopfler. His music is everywhere. He really studied the blues and country music. In fact, if you wanna know which guitarist most influenced him, it would have to be Chet Atkins, who taught him to make his guitar talk. Don't worry about broadcasting it, but you have to listen to their first three albums. The rest are amazing, but it will give you an idea of just how insanely mature Mark's compositions were from the very beginning. "Wild West End" from the first album is an absolute masterpiece. All of Communique will melt your brain. Then Making Movies, which features "Tunnel" and "Romeo and Juliette", which are iconic. Then move on to Brothers and Every Street and so on. You guys will be amazed. Just drop a tab, find a beach and make a day of it. You will come out younger and filled with hope!

[@timbrewin9241]

Somewhere on youtube is a video of the SkyArts docu Guitar Stories, which did an episode on Knopfler

I must have heard Mark's solo's more then a 1000 times easily. Play rewind play rewind, play rewind over and over again I just could never stop haha. Saw Dire Straits only once live on their last tour and it was frikkin awesome. A couple years later I saw Mark on his first solo tour of The Golden Heart album. I was standing only a few meters away from him. To see this guy playing his guitar alone is just mind blowing! 👍👍❤

Great song, I’ve never heard before. Thanks for introducing me to it!✌🏻❤️💙🇺🇸

Thanks guys....I've been lobbying for this one since your first Dire Straits reaction - and any songs from the Alchemy tour are light years beyond the studio versions.....Knopfler's solos are stellar.

Wow boys, finally someone who sees and hears what I hear. I have been a Dire Straits fans since the beginning........welcome to our world. Mark is the greatest guitarists and composer ever. And his delivery of of art, is second to none. I subscribed now to your channel because I see your passion and heartfelt appreciation for REAL music.

I saw Mark Knopfler 3 times live in France. It was so good :)

From the first time i heard the first song from Dire Straits, i loved them...They have always been a favorite of mine...I love Mark's single stuff as well, he plays his guitar with so much passion and artistry that it can't be duplicated.

I won’t say they were under rated but I will say, in my opinion, they were under appreciated, I was a teenager when they first came out in 1977 and I have never been the same. Genius and pure magic !!
