Drummer is killing it.

[@EdRoberts-g7h]

Ladies, THAT is the best live rock performance ever by anyone, anywhere.

[@d.lawrence8059]

Little extreme, yes, they were good but def not the best ever. If you really think that you haven't been around long enought!

[@louiewilliams3703]

Who is the best ever? In your opinion

[@SilverHolland]

@@d.lawrence8059 It's definitely in the top 10 we can still see back. Maybe there are some Phil Collins, Queen and Iron Maiden performances to compare to it. None will blow one this away.

[@lewe666]

This is one of the greatest drum performances I've ever heard. Terry killed it

[@TheCSue]

Manages to kill it by keeping it good and tight for the other instruments to dance around yet, doesn’t have a specific solo

[@rialobran]

You can't help but smile at the greatest finger picking rock guitarist ever. One of the best British rock bands in history, and that's a lot of competition.

[@rockerman4791]

That title belongs to the one and only Jeff Beck, but Knopfler is a worthy second.

[@rialobran]

It's subjective, for me it's Knopfler, for you Jeff Beck and for someone else it could be Lyndsey Buckingham. All three could claim the title. @@rockerman4791

[@simonebye8789]

​@rockerman4791 I disagree. They are both on equal level.😉😊

[@rialobran]

Lol, of course a second subjective option 🤣@@simonebye8789

[@glastonbury4304]

​@simonebye8789 ...I agree ...along with David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Brian May and of course Jimi Hendrix

[@WhizzingFish12]

Some of the best 10 minutes on KZbin. A fantastic band with Terry Williams just KILLING it on drums - he pushed them hard, and you can see Knopfler looking back and laughing like hes saying "We'd better pick it up boys!" and man do they ever. Knopfler is SUCH a phenomenonal guitarist - slinky fast, fluid, and emotional. Never hits a bad note.

[@keithlambe8593]

Terry Williams killing it on the drums,Magic...👍👍

[@mlong1958]

Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists in the world. The drummer, Terry Williams, was on fire and even Knopfler was surprised. Terry is now 75 and retired in Wales. This is widely considered one of the best live performances, ever.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

It's funny that they totally butcher the song from the studio version, but they really know how to butcher a song the right way. But to know how creative this is you have to know the studio.

[@neilf1059]

The drummer, Terry's parents were in the audience, first time watching Him, & the guys told Him to go for it.

[@zoolkhan]

hard to argue with that, and i come to youtubes just to argue ... i would not be worthy enough to wash their sweat bands i was 10 yrs at the time this was performed...

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@MoMoMyPup10 Why do you use the word "butcher"? That word means to chop something down. Straits built a simple number into a great display.

[@skmlondon]

Terry can’t be 75. Do you mean his father?

[@glassontherocks]

I am 70 and I have probably watched this performance at least a dozen times over the years and I never get tired of it. I would love to be able to move like that again.

[@unclebob53703]

One of my all time favorite live performances, I've probably watched 100 reactions to it, and in every one of them, everybody is SMILING

[@SausageFingers73]

It's subjective but I feel the 1985 tour, concerts and band were the pinnacle, as shown in the Wembley and Sydney concert videos on here, but i'm probably biased as I saw them in Birmingham a couple of weeks after the wembley shows. It has to be said though that this was when bands wern't afraid of work, and before a "residency" was a thing. Some really big name bands, most recently Bon Jovi and Greenday say they are doing a UK tour and play 2 stadium dates for the whole country, playing to maybe 60000 at each. On the Brothers in Arms tour Dire Straits played something like 13 nights at wembley, 9 at NEC Birmingham as well as quite a few other arenas in the country, and did this in most of the countries they played, when they got to the end of the run they went back to the beginning and started again, the tour lasted 2 years if memory serves.

[@Isleofskye]

The great news is that the encore from the same ALCHEMY Concert in London "TELEGRAPH ROAD" is outstanding

[@gesundheit602]

I play guitar and like this song, but I’d much rather hear the studio version. I think a lot of artists try to change the songs out of boredom or just for the heck of it. With a song as good as this, you don’t have to. Personal taste I guess.

[@unclebob53703]

The thing is, you don't have to chose--you can have both. @@gesundheit602

[@dagmar.6954]

Such a great live version! Dire Straits are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Walk Of Life", "Brothers In Arms", "Money For Nothing", "Telegraph Road", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "So Far Away" etc. They don't have a bad song.

[@MauricioOrellana182]

Don't forget the official video of Calling Elvis , a masterpiece 😁

[@markantoni-l7h]

Twisting by the pool is a terrible song…

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@hendrix1ism Your opinion, but audiences love it and it sold well.

[@lindataggart9076]

the drummers father was in the audience for the first time.. so the drummer was really rockin ..a bit faster than normal..mark kept looking back at him and smiling.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Wow, that's great.

[@peterarmstrong6928]

His name is Terry Williams 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@peterarmstrong6928]

This is one of the hardest songs to get down,, your sticking has to be perfect.

[@andrewtims9524]

Sadly an urban myth , Terry Williams was a seasoned hired gun for tours , had done many before this one and his parents always went to at least one of the gigs , he was at this one but it was far from the first time he had seen him play , takes nothing away from his performance though which was so good , you can see the amount of times mark and John looked back smiling

[@johnbrowne2170]

Brilliant.

[@sitnhere]

Kathy was really into it.......Donna had a big smile.......and Lulu was in amazement!! Mark Knopfler is one of greatest guitarist still actively playing. NOW you know why so many fans were going wild in the other video when the band was older.......many probably attended some of their concerts and were big fans when they were younger. Memories are golden.

[@andrewchristou2857]

Terry Williams the drummer gave his everything and set this tune on fire that night 🔥🔥🔥

[@TriptoCo]

This was 1977 ladies... Possibly the best live show. Ever. The fans had no idea what a treat that they were in for that evening.

[@MichaelFoster1969]

Simply a masterpiece. Virtuoso Knopfler and band strike again. Remarkable songwriter. Incidentally,this performance was only 7 years before the last one you watched. Great reaction to one of the planet's finest.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Notice how the band watches Mark. They're so talented and have been playing together so long that they're picking up subtle cues from him on things like dynamics (volume), chord resolutions, and rhythm variations. He's not just playing and singing, he's conducting. Oh, and since you ladies enjoy live performances and showmanship, you MUST watch something live by Kid Creole And The Coconuts!😂

[@Zentrix-24]

This is the best live version of Sultan's I've ever seen! Great performances by the whole band, drumming was awesome.....Mark out did himself in this one...perfect.

Another huge British (U.k) Band had so many other hitss, but this was taken in the Early (0´s -- But Girls it was Actually Released in the Mid 1970´s when it went to number one worldwide in the CHARTS, Followed up by another great DIRE STRAITS CLASSIC HIT CALLED LADY WRITER,--and then came the amazing mid 80´s world hit L.p with the famous track called BROTHERS IN ARMS.

[@GavinMaGrath]

The first album "Dire Straits" was released in 1978, this concert was 1983

[@Neil_BT]

Can't go wrong with any performance from the Alchemy album - they're all cast iron bangers. Telegraph Road, Tunnel of Love, and Going Home, which they used to close the concert out are all highlights. Like many of Knopfler's songs it tells a story, about going into a London pub one evening and finding a band playing. The drummer's name is Terry Williams, he absolutely knocked the whole concert out of the park. He was with them for the 85 tour too.

[@paulteague2586]

As an English lad this is just another brilliant British group to have the fortune to listen too,music as it should be...Carry on the good work ladies i love watching your reactions❤

Your cute daughter/granddaughter makes me smile with her open attitude to music. Love how she thought -- no doubt correctly -- that the keyboard player must have been tall with long arms.

[@gregleblanc9357]

I was fortunate enough to see them live back in the same days as this video. They were new on the scene, yet they were well established. Probably because of their awesome MTV Videos that were already out at the time. One of the BEST live performances I've ever seen in person.

[@leocmen]

Simply one of the best guitar players of all times... With one of the best bands of all times, with an astonishing drummer ...

[@paulchapman2569]

This is in 1983, I was at the Birmingham (UK) leg of this tour, a fantastic night.

[@daveking9393]

I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! My dire straight story. It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 p.m. . A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won two tickets via a radio DJ to tonight's "Brothers In Arms" tour show (1986) at the Boston garden and he can't find anyone to go with him because of midterms. The concert starts in about an hour and a half and these two guys both say no, he looks at me and says would you want to go? I responded in a heartbeat yes even though I had two midterms the next day. We picked up the tickets at the door. I couldn't believe it They were 6th row center on the floor. I've never been so close to a major rock and roll band for such a long time, it was absolutely unforgettable. His fingers fly, no pick... Folks didn't want to leave they came back out for a second encore song. It was really a very well done show. I didn't do all that well on those two midterms but it was worth it.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Sounds awesome

[@adrianleigh7410]

Try being there on the night. I was, and have never ever forgotten it. One of the most outstanding gigs I’ve ever been to.

[@SausageFingers73]

This is still earlyish in their career, I'm glad you picked out the drummer , Terry Williams, a really underrated drummer. The 2nd guitarist, the 2nd keys player and the sax player were replaced for their classic and best line up and next album "Brothers in Arms", (their best selling and one of the first cds produced, and still one of the all time best selling cds ever) from which the previous song you reacted to "Money for nothing" was taken

[@gregleblanc9357]

[@maruka1716]

Those jackets with the padding in the shoulders and a loose, unstructured fit were fashionable for both men and women in the 80s and early 90s. Wearing sweat bands to work out was also popular, and Mark (in red) said he started wearing them because it was hot under the lights and they kept the sweat out of his eyes. They became his signature look as long as he was with Dire Straits, but he cut his hair and stopped wearing them when he went solo.

Wonderful reaction. ( so happy )Well said Donna, ''happiness is the meaning of life the whole aim and end of human existence' said the wise man. When you work with commercial bands it is important to have some expansion playing live. You have far more freedom to explore, the ultimate being blues and jazz. So here Mark and the Band can have some sophisticated fun while maintaining that pop appeal. When people love what they do it becomes infectious and results in the duty free gift for the listener.😎

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Mark Knopfler wore the sweat band on his head and wrists because he didn't like getting sweat in his eyes or have it running down his arms. I am a 75 yr. old lady and believe he actually had naturally curling hair. Another thing to notice is that he did not use a pick to play the guitar, but his thumb and two fingers. He is self taught. This song was their first hit. They were having so much fun playing and they were such a tight group.
