Sultans of Swing is a must if you like dire straits. Mark Knoffler absolutely incredible

[@pamelaforray4318]

That would’ve been my preferred Dire Straits

[@paschamaryalophand9200]

I agree

[@bobr4987]

Their Guitarist,Mark Knopfler studied under Chet Atkins aka "Mr. Guitar". That's probably why he fingerpicks instead of using a regular guitar pick.

[@pamelaforray4318]

Without a doubt, don’t care who you are, the upbeat tempo of this song will get everyone’s toes tapping. Such a happy song.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

Well I'm surprised that Walk Of Life would be suggested first but you have no idea the sheer scope of this bands musical proficiency until you listen to their song Sultans of Swing. Absolute mood of a song.

[@maxwellshammer5283]

Their song “Brothers in Arms” would have been great for Memorial Day. Gives me chills every time I hear it. “Sultans of Swing”, “Money for Nothing” “Romeo and Juliet” are others to hear.

[@jasonmorrow6297]

“Money For Nothing”.....really sums what was going on during the 80’s MTV movement.

[@NOLAgenX]

I HIGHLY recommend Telegraph Road, Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, and Tunnel of Love. I saw them in 1983, and to this day, they are my favorite concert ever. After watching 3 hours of Mark Knopfler play extended solos and guitar magic on nearly every song, to me he will always be the best guitarist of all. Notice he plays with his fingers. Despite that, he is even better at his songwriting, many of his songs being long extended stories.

[@sundayze]

I’m older now and am loving the older Mark’s new music. So many songs, mostly written by him, very personal, many about historical moments. He’s been touring on his own for years. He’s still my favorite singer/songwriter and guitar plucker.

[@NOLAgenX]

@@sundayze I’m also loving all his older solo stuff! Such a songwriter.

[@sundayze]

@NOLAgame Listening to “Lights of Taormina” as I write this. And so many more gems, like Sailing to Philadelphia, Wherever I Go, Postcards from Paraguay, Our Shangri-La, Going Home and on and on. I just burned some of his albums to thumb drive for my car. Nothing better to listen to on a long drive. 😎

[@TheCornishCockney]

At the odeon? I worked all 6 shows there,and they blew everyone away,including us hard bitten security. Seen them several times since,always great.

[@imshadowbannedbygoogleandy4028]

[@jimh8633]

Honestly, treat yourself to Brothers in Arms. You won't find a more haunting guitar anywhere. He makes that thing sing in its own right. Absolutely stunning.

Alchemy live recording is probably one of the best live concert recordings in history - it is phenomenal ! it will blow your mind if you like watch rock maestros at the top of their profession ! it's that good !!

[@Seanriver316]

Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitar players of all time. Definitely top 5 in my book, anyways. "Sultans of Swing" is probably their signature tune. Peace!

[@rockyruane9379]

Captain obvious lol

[@theweirdsistersoracle2]

Sultans of Swing and Money For Nothing are both awesome Dire Straights songs.

[@armywife1277]

I love Dire Straights, Mark Knoffer is one of the best song writer/guitars ever. His guitar playing is unique and even haunting. He wrote a song called Brothers in Arms. It will pull at every emotion you have. Many believe it is the best song of the rock era. When I listen to Bros in Arms I feel every chord he plays. I can only describe it as the guaitar sings and Mark narrates the words. Mark Knoffler is truly a great guitarist ranked with, Clapton, Beck, & Stevie Ray Vaughn. They are virtuosos with different styles. Never underestimate Knofflers talent.

[@maryhuhnke8496]

There is no 'walk of life' without music. Great reaction!

[@briantruitt2751]

Great reaction again! One of the first songs I have ever heard from these guys is a song called Skateaway. It's definitely a deep cut banger and not too many people have reacted to this song. Hope you give it a try.

[@jackaubrey3037]

this whole album is 🔥🔥. a MUST HEAR, bucket list, musical tour de force.

[@doughaviland1729]

Rob....ROB....YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE ALCHEMY LIVE VERSION OF: SULTANS OF SWING....AND TELEGRAPH ROAD! SERIOUSLY!

[@aidiess]

probably the best live performance ever - incredible !!

[@PDDSimracing]

Telegraph road is a masterpiece. I'll leave that there.

[@simonnewby1215]

Telegraph Road is loosely about the growth and decline of Detroit and is a work of genius. See also Lady Writer, Lover over Gold, Communique....to be honest the list is endless for me.

[@rojavida]

Two best live performances, other than some classical performances I’ve seen.

[@charlesdean3544]

One of their greatest songs, and dynamite video! I absolutely love the lead guitar in this one. Your taste in music is strikingly similar to mine.

[@allencarlson6128]

Hey! You dig piano? Try "Bruce Hornsby And The Range" and a good place to start is "The Way It Is".

[@po5283]

Sultans of Swing is a definite must. Highly recommend that you first react to the studio version before moving on to the alchemy live performance. Pay close attention to lead singer Mark Knopfler's guitar playing and wait till you notice what he does, that virtually no one else does apart from some acoustic, folk and country musicians and even than typically a technique used for specific songs, rarely is it any artists go to standard of playing. Oh wow can't wait to see your reactions when you notice =)!!!

[@stephaniedykes4157]

It makes me so happy to see folks from a younger generation so genuinely enjoying music that is meaningful to me.

[@c8Lorraine1]

I agree.

[@kimberlyblosser8717]

I'm not a huge Dire Straits fan, but I remember when the Brothers in Arms cd came out it was huge. "Money for Nothing," Walk of Life," and "So Far Away" were on the radio a lot. I loved the songs "Your Latest Trick," and "Brothers in Arms" off of the same cd, but you didn't hear them played much. As many people are saying, their older song, "Sultans of Swing," was a fairly large hit also. Other than those songs, they don't seem to be very mainstream music. They are the kind of band that if you get into, you can find plenty of music to like from them, but it's not going to come to you. You have to search for it.

[@scottclark3761]

"After all the violence and double talk, there's just a song in the trouble and the strife. You do the walk, you do the walk of life." That's the song's core right there...so she got it right. If you must cross the thin ice, why not do it with a dance? That's kinda the vibe. If you're going to the gallows, flip a penny to the hangman, give a jest to the crowd, and die with a smile on your lips. Or keep walking through...maybe the gallows isn't your stop. We don't know until we get there....so keep walkin.

[@ferney2936]

Wow, Scott....so well expressed mate...I don't usually find poetry in youtube comments..I'm just sorry I'll never know you

[@scottclark3761]

@@ferney2936 Damn. Thanks! I wax poetic every so often. Life appears absurd and truth seems paradoxical. But, I've become a litle Taoist in my old age, and see the subtle harmonies of it. Or try to, I don't think we, as mere humans, can grasp the whole thing at once...but the pieces I can see are lovely. I find it in popular songs, sometimes, even! Always be ready for beauty. It may surpirse you.

[@darylhunt7423]

This song is about a street performer in the subway tunnels. He turns the darkness into day. He sings a song about the knife. He keeps staying positive.

[@coldwhite4240]

Yes, the original UK video for this makes more sense as it's about the lyrics. Sadly, it rarely gets shown, instead the US version with the unrelated footage of American sports gets played. Dire Straits have finally posted the HQ version of the original UK video on their YT page too.

[@boguslawpiskorz2208]

Please do "Sultans Of Swing" (Alchemy Live version). Great guitar solo as leader M. Knopfler is a genuine virtuoso, yet it is the DRUMMER that steals the show. Story tells that on that night, Terry's dad (drummer's name) was at the audience to see his son performing onstage , for the first time ever. Terry did not disappointed him. And nobody else.

[@fatherman9]

[@Nightcrawlerfive]

Yeah, I like that one too. But in fairness I have to admit "Sultans of Swing" is probably their classic, must hear, even if I don't personally like it as much as "Industrial Disease", which was only a mild hit.

Sultans of Swing is a definite must. An absolute classic.

[@davidarmstrong3564]

I'm not sure how many times Dire Straits toured Australia, but I saw them twice. In 1986 in Cairns and 1991, in Brisbane. Cairns is in the tropical north, and during the concert the skies opened up. It was at the showgrounds and the audience was standing ankle deep in water. Mark Knoefler sang "Sing in the Rain". Eventually, it became too dangerous to continue. Have a listen to "Romeo and Juliet". He plays that steel guitar that you see in your post. Great song. 🦘

[@richardholguin2564]

Welcome aboard, youngsters! Dire Straits had me hooked, on their first album. I was a junior in high school in 1978 and Dire Straits was always being played on the radio, here in Los Angeles.

[@karenwall4199]

Mark Knopfler is a musical genius. The music of Dire Straits and the Sultans of Swing covers all spectrums. I really also like "Calling Elvis"

[@scottdebruyn7038]

'Wild West End' find T4Ad_J_2l0w Special for me is the guitar work by Mark Knopfler (Rolling Stone ranked him 27th in top 100 greatest guitarists of all time and 'Offthetracks ranks him #8, while guitar world ranks him #12... Let's just say he's damn good! :) . He is a Fender Stratocaster (among many) electric guitar player who... Get this... finger picks (very unusual) and it adds a dynamic to the lead guitar that you don't get elsewhere! The tunes Dire Straits plays are mostly rock with a bluesy, folksy, with a 'swung' rhythm (google 'swing rhythms' to know what to listen for...). Dire Straits is about each song... The leads and drum work is stellar, but it's about the whole package. Depending on what I'm in the mood for, I'd say my 3 favorite groups are Dire Straits, The Eagles and Journey followed closely by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Please do 'Wild West End' and zero in on those lyrics... They remind me of a friend I lost many years ago in the fondest of ways! :) Oh! And other tunes that aren't reacted to by Dire Straits much... 'Six Blade Knife', 'Water of Love' and 'So Far Away'. The classics are a must hear ('Sultans of Swing', Brothers in Arms' & 'Money for Nothing'), but these others are, as you would say... "Fire!". :)

[@tomtrahan8485]

If you guys like story telling and great/unique vocals, check out Bob Seger = "Night Moves," "Hollywood Nights," "Mainstreet" "Shame on the Moon." Hell, all his music is great! Thanks Guys.

Keep hitting this album, one of my all time favorites from them. I was 19 when it came out and my buddy and I got tickets to go see it. What an absolute killer performance. They ended the concert with The Sultans Of Swing, not on this album, but I’d say Mark Knopfler’s best song ever.

[@petervenkman69]

Dire straits is odd in the respect that they have one of the best selling albums of all times (Brothers in Arms) and the lead singer is generally considered one of the Best Guitarists Ever, and despite that have been forgotten. This is actually the 2nd video for this song, made for the US market... the original video matched the song more, and was literally about a guy in the tubes (London Underground) busking, and singing classic songs. If you go through they lyrics carefully, you may be able to work out what songs were being referenced.

[@LemmyGibbler]

I generally don’t care for a ton of 80s rock. Dire straits is the exception. They’re phenomenal. Romeo and Juliet is a good one that probably won’t get much love. Sultans of swing and money for nothing are both must-listens for them.

Sultans of Swing has many different sounds ( I know you like that in a song ) , Money for Nothing is fire ( homophobic slur warning )

[@JaronActual]

Most copies of that track readily available today have that verse cut out, unfortunately, because it was horribly misunderstood and misinterpreted. Mark isn't calling someone that slur. The song is written from the point of view as a common moving man laborer.

I just found you guys about a week ago. I love everything that you do. About this song. The Dire Straits is my daddy’s favorite band, & I am the ultimate daddy’s girl. When I was probably 7-8 years old, we made up our own dance to this song. This was almost 40 years ago, so I do not remember the dance at all, but I remember the fun of it. Now, as an adult, & understanding the meaning behind it, i now realize that it fits the circumstances between my dad & myself just perfectly. He is currently away for a few years, (a situation I never dreamed we would be in), and I miss him so terribly. This song always makes me laugh & cry at the same time. But it fits. We are all most certainly doing the “Walk of Life” every single day, & I cannot wait to turn THIS nighttime into day again.

Sultans of Swing & Romeo and Juliet are 2 great songs from Dire Straits - but the other recommendations are wonderful as well - you can’t go wrong with any of them. You two are fabulous!

What a bop! One of my all-time favorites! Thanks for the great reaction :) Mark Knoffler did an album with guitar legend from another era Chet Atkins.

Dire Straits Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live will change your life. Lol Incredible group. Incredible song. The lead singer/guitarist has to be top 20 guitarists of all time. His style of playing influenced many good guitarists. His name comes up often with professional guitarists of the 80's and 90's as being an influence of theirs.
