I'm ROCKING Out to Dire Straits Sultans Of Swing for the FIRST TIME!

[@jeffpowers7517]

You owe it to yourself to watch the Alchemy Live version of this same song. Twice as long so there is a lot more. Also Telegraph road from Alchemy live. (That one is about the founding of Detroit to Present day. Also the official music video Romeo and Juliet. Every song they did is great. Mark Knoffler wrote and composed all their songs. At 75 years old he just dropped a new album on youtube a couple months ago. When Prince was asked how it feels to be the greatest guitar player in the world he responded, I wouldn't know. Ask Mark Knoffler.

Go straight to rockpalast live

[@Em1_99]

Mark Knopfler is one of the goats. And he does indeed know all the chords..

[@StanCostello-q3o]

Oh man you guys have to do the version of this song live from alchemy!

[@timinglismusic6707]

"HE's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing." Then proceeds to make the guitar sing! Knoffler is a wizard.

[@mikevandenboom5958]

Yeh WTF 😊

[@richardhargrave6082]

Now watch the live Alchemy version, its epic!

[@Echelon1984]

Sultans of Swing" was originally composed by Mark Knopfler on a National Steel guitar in open tuning. He thought the song was "dull" until he bought his first Fender Stratocaster in 1977: "It just came alive as soon as I played it on that '61 Strat ... the new chord changes just presented themselves and fell into place." The lyrics were inspired by a performance of a Dixieland jazz band playing in the corner of an almost empty pub in Deptford, South London. At the end of their performance, the lead singer announced their name, the Sultans of Swing; Knopfler found the contrast between the group's dowdy appearance and surroundings and their grandiose name amusing.

Great reaction. But please watch the live version

[@yiddos1971]

Sultans of swing live alchemy is the version of this song you should have choose, man you will regret not doing this version, I’m so upset that you reacted to this version first

[@andrejbrumen8739]

Nice reaction ... This version cuts of iconic end solo though (I do not know why they cut it off) ... Alchemy Live version of this song is the one you must listen ... and this is just a start ... "Telegraph road" Alchemy Live, "Tunnel of Love", ... Get ready for a journey ...

[@roberormonde]

Probeble copy rights it is there best song

[@Iletmeknow]

You really messed up you should have done alchemy live. It’s completely different than this and you to understand what you really messed up

[@aldobelli8300]

Alchemy Live is the only way to hear and see this song performed, it's the BEST!!!!!

[@JohnParas-xb5td]

You need to listen to the last minute of this tune. Outstanding guitar solo.

[@STEELCITYBERMA]

Live version is ridiculous good….

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

Hey guys nice reaction and channel. This band Live is so good to watch. I really recommend the performance Calling Elvis from DIRE STRAITS- Live "On The Night" 1993. It's very popular on KZbin. Anyway Cheers and All The best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸

[@williamshaw4943]

yous guy's need to watch the video brothers in arms it's a must ❤from Scotland

[@cssodre]

Great but as everyone's been saying...live is out of this world

[@ingridgabelo2934]

Hola chicos!! Me da mucho gusto que jóvenes como ustedes escuchen e intenten conocer a éstas bandas tan importantes y legendarias 😊 Dire Straits y el gran Mark Knopfler, uno de los cinco mejores guitarras del mundo, con éste tema. Tienen razón, cuando les piden la versión en vivo de Alchemy!! Es más larga y verdaderamente hermosa... aunque ésta versión es de sus comienzos, con su hermano Dave, como segunda guitarra ; Pick Whithers en batería y el gran John Ilsile en bajo. La versión de Alchemy está con muchos músicos, es encantadora!! Les prometo que no les defraudará ❤. Gracias por llevarme a mi juventud 😃. Por favor 🙏 sigan con éstos grandes que no tenían tecnología, sólo talento!! Mark Knopfler es zurdo, toca magistralmente con la mano derecha y sin púa. Se dieron cuenta? Desde Chile un abrazo!!

[@foxbyday4300]

Yep. Needs to be from Alchemy Live - different level

[@donjoe8518]

go watch alchemy live, this doesnt even touch that version

[@zwieseler]

This is the band miming to the studio track for a TV performance. Also cuts the solo at the end. Watch them do it live at the Alchemy concert.

[@jrepka01]

They cut this version off at the end just before the magic happens with the guitar. Up to this point you've gotten to taste what Mark can make that guitar do. The Alchemy Live version brings you all of that and then some...

[@colleenrussell4228]

Yes it's a must...live version alchemy or Wembley...

[@reptarshane]

The official music video cuts off the best bit at the end!

[@christiehopkins]

Alchemy Live version. Do it.

[@hakanjonsson1478]

Love this song, but this is the radio edit. The song really takes off where this video ends.

[@jennywren7822]

WRONG ONE. ALCHEMY LIVE.

[@christinehoughton8591]

I was just going to say the same.

[@JJLovesMusic87]

Ephesians 2:14 (KJV) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

[@Dougyjnx]

I'm sorry I didn't get to finish my comments. I'm proud of y'all for putting up with dodo I'm a 68 year old White Man who's been married to 2 black ladies and several Hispanic women. As a matter of fact, I NEVER GAVE A Damn! Stop pretending like y'all are the First! I've been there Done that! My children are MULOTTOES! Half White and what I decided to Produce. Get Over it. Jehovah God Almighty (not Jesus) put us on the Earth to be, "fruitful and multiple". I've done my share. I've got 3 children 14 grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren! Guess what? They are white/Indian/black/Mexican/ every thing else. Forgive you Two who pretend to be Holier Than Thou! Guess what, JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY is Watching You. Not Jesus, But Jesus' Father, JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY! Get over Jesus and Bow Down to the Creator JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY! 🤔🤫❤️

[@glassontherocks]

Dire Straits Alchemy has a longer version of Sultans of swing. Much better.

[@catcherinthesky]

Wrong version.

[@Dougyjnx]

Do you two realize that Jesus was the Son of Jehovah God Almighty! In heaven before being sent to Earth

[@Dougyjnx]

O

[@harveyhc7438]
