[@rlahiri65]

Two of the best, on top of their game.

[@RonzigtheWizard]

So glad they came back on stage featuring the second guitar.with a great song and finished up with another great song.featuring the great Eric Clapton and the rest of this great band. For sure they love Philadelphia with such a magnificent audience.

[@redwings1158]

Saw the same show at The Palace Of Auburn Hill, Michigan in 88'....OUTSTANDING SHOW👍👍✌️

[@RonzigtheWizard]

Eric Clapton was the greatest guitar man of his time; hell, he was the greatest ever. He made my speakers come alive and dance in my brain.

Please make a CD from this show❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@DaveMarkowitz]

I was at this show, the first of 4 times I've seen EC. I found my ticket stub. $18.50!

[@HasinaiMan]

I scalped tix right before show time, my seats were on the first level, to Clapton's right (stage right) slightly above the stage, not bad for last minute. Excellent gig. Witnessed many a fine show and other events at The Spectrum, many great memories.

On my way from porti portland to ocho rios😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@daleedmisten1281]

saw this tour in Sacramento, Ca. In Eric's biography, 'Survivor', he humbly states that "... Knopfler is a far better guitarist" than he. So when I got to the show and saw that Mark was included in the band, I almost fainted! also of mention was the opening act, Buckwheat Zydeco laying down some cool cajun-pop-R&B-bluesy rock.

[@laszlodezsi1880]

I doubt that Mark would be a better gitarist then Eric. Both are very good and yet different. I like them both.

[@daleedmisten1281]

@@laszlodezsi1880 it was Clapton himself who said it, and of course it was HIS opinion

[@brettbaker9416]

Clapton was just being gracious Mr Knofler is good but not in Clapton's league. He's in a league of his own no one else comes close to Clapton.

[@cefarther3945]

Enjoyed your comment.

[@RonzigtheWizard]

That light man really knows his art. He's right on top of the changes.

[@MnCnc74]

great

Eric you look fitt❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@leslieallan392]

This is the God of music and his disciples!!

[@geoffreyallen888]

You have to be Eric Clapton to have Mark Knopfler on second guitar.

[@Bobsend]

The vice versa is true as well since Clapton played rhythm guitar for dire straits on a few occasions.

[@melodyhannabuffet6569]

Bahahahaha!!! Roflmao

[@kresimirdobranic1682]

A remark you made 1:21:20 tribute to Jaco Pastorius

[@stevedrums1675]

saw this tour at the Meadowlands Arena w/ Buckwheat Zydako (sp.) opening. I don't remember seeing Jodi Lindscott though.

[@Zootallures100]

Jeez, all the band is on at this Philly evening. The Spectrum is always a great place for historic concerts. The Grateful Dead played dozens of brilliant gigs there. I've just only missed the Knopfler solo in "Same Old Blues"

[@danduggan3335]

I'm pretty sure I was at this gig. The Spectrum. Lynyrd Skynrd were the night before and Grateful Dead the night after. The Crossroads Box Set tour?

[@amarkintimeconcerts6013]

+1

[@MrDevins]

This is the only time I've noticed Nathan East without a Yamaha bass.

[@harshapaulraj815]

What's very interesting here (: apart from Mark and Alan from Dire Straits showing up :) is Mark's outro solo on Sunshine of Your Love. It's got elements of his style but a lot of the choice of notes is rather unlike him.

[@gavinfinlayson485]

That is because MK can play any style... It is his style

[@robert.willemse2402]

Hy I was not aware of that BASS PLYRE bRAVO AND gREETINGS

[@thepad4197]

go to ascap type in nathan east and there is a video of him and giving examples of his work he has/was the bassist for eric clapton since the late 80s I think, anyway he has some solo work out it is good. OK sldc ERIC I know will speak later in ago ok sldc

[@johnbruce4673]

Again the bass player Nathan east NOT featured

[@andrewpower6917]

That is most defintely Nathan East.

[@HasinaiMan]

Eric and Nathan start trading licks during "Same Old Blues" @about 1:08:30, then Nathan is featured and scats around 1:09:30/40 until the break @about 1:11:30 after which Eric introduces him, in return Nathan introduces Eric around 1:13:30 shortly before the finish of the song. Nice jam on that one (nice five string bass btw).

[@adil4ever]

Why don't Knopfler and Clapton play together anymore ?

[@slowhand5160t]

he was useing a marshall amp sounds good now he uses a fender amp not as good he make so much money from fender but its not as good

[@cefarther3945]

I know it was in-style back then to have black back-up singers, but they sure did not fit his music. When the black girl just screams, ruined the song. I bet he regrets those decisions. p.s. I notice he doesn't use them anymore.
