[@dominicksforza3484]

Mark even looked back a time or 2 and acknowledged his beating the hell out of those drums. One of my favorite bands, their first album was the first album I played in 1978 after buying a knock out stereo with a pioneer 120watt/channel receiver, 2 JBL studio monitor speakers, a 24 band pioneer equalizer 12 bands per channel, a technics turntable and a technics casette deck that was, at the time capable of playing metal cassette tapes which at the time was as good as it got back then. That entire album was played onboard my ship and was bought at the US Navy exchange in Naples Italy, our home base when deployed. It cost $1200 in 1978. The second album I played on it was the first Boston album, it sounded insane.

These guy's were having one of those rare, "Peak Experiences". Like Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl or LeBron James NBA Championship winning Game. Everything coming together just perfectly, and thank God they filmed it!

[@jensj.jensen5462]

I also think that the Dire Straits song you have heard is “Money for nothing”. There is a live version of it in which Eric Clapton also plays guitar, Sting sings on chorus and Phil Collins is drumming. Another good song is “Brothers in Arms”.

[@kevintopliff4995]

Reckon you are on the money with "Money for Nothing" huge playing time on MTV regularly

[@Fred-hk7wk]

Actually, they did a reaction video to Sultan's of swing, with Tommy Emmanuel, so I think that's where the familiarity comes from.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

I heard them live in concert in Dallas Texas! They were incredible together.

[@haraldhofmann406]

Unadulterated skill without the distraction of visual spectacle or artificial enhancements. Dire Straits is a testament to what music should be.

[@derekwholden]

There are two keyboard players; the dancing guy is just playing organ-like chords, whilst the the guy surrounded by keys is playing piano and synths.

[@racinnut77]

"Telegraph Road" and "Tunnel Of Love" from the same concert, you won't be sorry. I was fortunate enough to see Dire Straits live twice.

Dire Straits in concert had two keyboard players. The principal keyboard player was Allan Clarke, he is a classically trained pianist. He went on to be Tina Turner's director of music.

We have a ton of excellent bands from my generation. They are still around 40 and 50 years later. I turned 18 in 1972. I was a hippie, a wild child and a free spirit. So the rest of the 70's and most of the 80's were a blur 😂. But I remember the music ❤. Lovin' me some Dire Straights. Excellent show ❤. Thanks for the memories.

I love that half of that isn't even in the studio version of the song, they're just jamming the heck out, having a great time. Mark Knopfler has to be one of the best improv guitarists ever.

[@spreet65]

If there is better unblemished 11 minute guitar masterpiece ever, I'm yet to see it. I'm 56 & wish I was a few years older so I could have witnessed The Beatles in full flight.. Witnessing ABBA mid to late 70's then Dire Straights through the early to mid eighties was probably the next best thing.

[@bent-one2545]

The story behind Williams' performance is that his father, who disapproved of some of his son's choices (particularly rock and roll) was in the crowd, and moved by his son's performance, and the quality of Dire Straits in general. If you look, there are times in the vid when the other guys glance over at him, like WTF?

[@PjRjHj]

Mark Knopfler OBE is a Guitar giant, one of the most emotive guitarists to grace the mainstream, an equal to David Gilmour, Eric Clapton often plays Rhythm Guitar for him. He's also a brilliant Lyricist and Composer, a consummate storyteller with a strong romantic bone. Dire Straits sold over 120 million Albums. They were one of the biggest live acts of the 80s. "Sultans of Swing" was their debut hit, and generally considered their most famous song. If you hadn't heard it but recognized the voice, then you may have heard "Money For Nothing" (featuring Sting) or "Walk Of Life". Both got a lot of airplay in the USA, with the former having an iconic video clip and very controversial verse (by today's standards, disregarding context). They are an amazing Band that are worth a deep dive. Roots, Pub Rock, Bluegrass elements, Progressive, they covered decent ground. They weren't angling for trendy, their undeniable chops made them immensely popular around the world. Some absolute epic songs like "Tunnel of Love" and "Telegraph Road" with stunning, moving Solos. The heart wrenching "Brothers In Arms", The stirring "Going Home", the brooding "Private Investigations". Great pop with "Lady Writer" and "Down to the Waterline" and "Romeo & Juliet". Dire Straits were a top class, supremely talented Band that truly deserve their place in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame (even if Mark Knopfler didn't even show up to his own induction).

[@Fred-hk7wk]

Not to mention having written the scores for at least 6 movies that I know of. And to be fair regarding the Hall of Fame induction, it wasn't that he didn't want to go but rather, he had other obligations. Had his priorities in order.
