Mark Knopfler (Clapton, Sting, Collins) - Money for Nothing [Music for Montserrat ~ HD] Reaction!

[@hotseat2]

The amount of talent on that stage is mindblowing.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

That's what you call a super group.

[@Doaria]

So much talent together great to watch

[@YKorNL]

Went and looked up his site.. in the news section there is some news, in yesterday: "Mark will shortly return to the studio to continue recording for his next album." Mark is 72 years old now, and still going strong! *thumbs up*

[@merrilynhunt7819]

Mark has a new solo album coming out in April. He just keeps going!!

[@BennoWitter]

You really need to listen to the whole "Brother's in Arms" album, where this is from. Just turn off the camera, sit down someplace and listen to it from start to finish. You won't regret a single second of it. I like Eric Clapton, but Mark Knopfler is just the greatest on the guitar. The way he was flexing just before the song started. (2:30) was awesome.

[@pamelaflanner317]

I am 77 and still following Clapton since first seeing Cream in Philadelphia when they first started out. You are right, these great musicians have life long followers.

[@Paul_C]

When you do that, use the MTV clip. Nice old school graphics. Some more facts, it was the first ever popular CD when CD's was in its infancy. As it was the first specific video aimed at MTV. Phonogram was the name behind most of it, Philips the mother company. You can use it as a gift to the Netherlands series 😂😂

I love mark! An direstraits local hero is so beautiful

[@MuzZ11_]

And brothers in arms

[@MLWitteman]

Awesome video! These guys have been rocking for ages, but the quality is still the same after all these years. Love to watch these guys perform live one day.

[@walkerabenelux7803]

Hahaha you really need some more Dire Straits in your life, it's great. Thanks for the reaction 👍

[@larairina5142]

Doesn't everybody? 😉

[@YKorNL]

YES!! Once you've listened to an album.. there is NO turning back. I LOVE THEM.

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

Phill Collins is on the drumps. 4 legends . 🤘☺

[@bartvschuylenburg]

Hey, Ray Cooper on percussion is an absolute legend as well!

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

This is absurd Sting, Eric Clapton Mark Knopfler and Phil Collins. Wauw

[@125steini]

You know you made it all the way up, when you got Eric Clapton playing rythm for you!

[@moniquevandoorn8347]

I am sure that this song was a hit in the USA as well. I don’t know if you ever watched the comedy show Perfect Strangers with the characters Balki and Cousin Larry. In one of the episodes Balki became addicted to tv, so Larry took away the remote control. Balki shouted out angrily: I WANT MY MTV!! But Perfect Strangers is also long ago by now, so I can understand that you can not watch and listen to everything that has ever been made.

Mark doesn't do "Money for Nothing" very often since Dire Straits broke up, the Monserrat concert was one example, but he did do it on his tour in 2019 .. So I would suggest having a listen to the original Dire Straits version that was recorded when mark was about 35, and also him performing it when he was about 70 years old. I think a "grumpy old man" singing the song is quite appropriate to be honest. I am trying to find a recording with good audio, this is the best I've found so far. Here's a link to the Dublin 2019 Concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWK3gpaim8l-iZY Here is a link to the original video from the Brothers in Arms Album.

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

I saw a documentary about sting where told on camera how he sayd to his childeren. When i die you will not get my fortune becuase i will donate it to charity . you will not get 1 dollar from me. He sayd that to motivate them to go to school and be independent . that they did . his son is a doctor how operates humans and his daughter is a lawyer / judge . Stings fortune is quest on 225 million dollars. Wauw hahaa. He him self whas born in a poor family in a dark side of his hometown in a English city . much respect for Sting 💪👍💝

[@TollGateAB]

Watch the official video! Sure the studio version of the song will sound familiar. It’s one if the biggest hits of the 80’s.

[@larairina5142]

I keep recommending the live albums from Dire Straits: Alchemy is a legendary album. BTW: They love to tease Sting with singing the start of this song. Just ignoring he is almost out of breath. Not in this video because they slightly changed the song.

[@anderspettersson9885]

Watch Clapton and Knopfler do a version of Layla at the same consert, wounderful!

[@knarf4083]

You haven't heard of Money for Nothing ? Have you heard of the Beatles ? The song Happy Birthday ? What have you heard of ?

[@ExclusivelyReclusive1]

Man you should check out the ''Local hero'' song on this concert! its amazing! Same goes for Brothers in arms!

[@DIRK-PITT]

ps. sold more than 120 million complete albums 'no singles eh .Albums of 18 treks on it and they are all pearls

[@pietergreveling]

😱 It's the Dire Straits and you should really watch the official music video, no lyrics necessary!!!!!!!!!! 😁👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🥰✌🏼

[@theconstantflow]

i just realized that by the order of your reactions at this time you did not realize that it is PHIL Collins on the drums?? Or did you? ;)

[@jaynicholas523]

Check out sultans of swing live alchemy version 😊

[@paulf2557]

125k subscribers but less than 1k views for such a magical concert performance. Must be a lot of subs, who like highly have never heard of this song before. Unimaginable to me. Must be a large rock with a lot of people living under it. I often wonder why there are such a large number of subs here, when the viewing figures on 70% or so of the reactions are so, so low in comparison. Oh well, it is what it is. Great live performance anyway of a classic song, even if Mark does have to change some lyrics in today's PC/woke culture.

[@roeloftooms]

Then you must also check the Weird Al version "I wanna be a Hillbilly"

[@mortalegy5032]

Bro ngl you kinda do look like mark knopfler

[@jaynicholas523]

Check out dire straights alchemy live

[@koen6483]

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

That shocks me to. Also that highly doesn't know the song. Thats a mystery for me 2. Hahaa groetjes Jacco
