I have a theory. The drum fill at 2:28 to 2:35 is the reason this performance is so legendary. You can see how visibly excited Mark is after Terry finishes the fill. You literally hear the difference in energy afterwards. And it is at the perfect time because it is just as they move into the verse before the first solo. So Mark is just absolutely pumped going into the solo which propels the whole band into overtime leading to this masterpiece.

Reaching, a lot of the latter stages of this strike me as a bunch of world class musicians completely in sync with each other in a sort of flow state, essentially jamming, it may have been roughly rehearsed but it really does feel like (and I hope it was because I'll respect and love it even more) it's completely impromptu.

His limits are actually the band itself....

​@@kevinostberg1729that's exactly it. This was one of the rare occasions you see a band perfectly in sync. Everyone on their A game. Everybody playing the set of their life. Mark was like a conductor here controlling the pace and tempo and the years and years of drilling abd repetition gave the other band members the practice to keep in unison with every pull abd twist mark gave. They improvised on his every cue flawlessly and he was head strong and confident enough in them to just continue to play his riffs and twists on the guitar knowing full well they were 100% in sync with him every step of the way no matter what way he pulled the flow of the song. The crowd clapping gives it that lighting in a bottle magic feel. They knew deep inside even if they didn't know on the surface that this was the greatest gig of all time.

When he retired, he did gardening for the older generation, most in their 80s. Cut their grass, bed out their gardens with beautiful flowers, that he mostly grew himself from seed or cuttings. He would pick up their medication from the chemist, never charged for anything. He always said well I'll be old like that someday, hopefully someone will look out for me. He died at age 73

This will truly always be among those memorable and greatest musical experiences I have had Mark Knopfler and the rest of the band were completely in the zone this night. He plays with an arrogance and rightly so he knows how good he is and he knew his audience knew also. A simply brilliant musician surrounded by other great musicians.

I like how so many here praise the drummer, because how could they not? He's terrific, but so is everyone here, Mark, Hal, John, Alan, this is without a doubt one of the most energetic 10 minute live performances you'll ever see, and I'm very envious of the people who got to enjoy this live concert. It's when "I was there" really say something.

Can we all agree that, as impressive as Knopfler's clean, highly melodic and fluid lead playing is, the drummer can more than hold his own? I'm both highly impressed and highly jealous at how he can both improvise those on-the-fly fills and then play them so precisely. It really is a thing of beauty, and a wonder to behold.
