Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - Our Shangri-La (REACTION) with my wife

[@dk2428]

You can't add or subtract anything from this performance, its perfection.

[@mvcork]

Great song. Great message. Chill everybody. 😊❤️

[@jjalves74]

This is one of my favorite songs from Mark's solo career. And love this version particularly. It translates all the dreams and open possibilities of youth. The all concert is amazing. Thanks for it. PS: Mark does uses a plectrum (pick) now and then. This is one of these songs (some others are So Far Away, but not always, I'm The Fool, Twisting By The Pool, or Expresso Love, just to mention a few). But although he is not using his fingers, you can still recognize him as soon as he starts to play! :)

U2 r beautiful thank u 4 enjoying n sharing the moment

[@CarlosPT-hb6zb]

Mark Knopfler the best of the best guitar players.

[@zoeslovely7096]

Mark Knopfler is a virtuoso! I'm glad you're seeing that now

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

You two do the best reactions! You give this old man faith in humanity! ✌🏻

[@johnfallon3525]

Welcome to 'heaven'. Musically. Real musicians, playing real instruments, with real class! The relaxed feel to this song is helped by Mark's guitar being tuned a whole step down - dropped D tuning. 'The twang is the thang'! Mark's songs often feature instrument choice and style that enhances the song's theme, or subject matter. For more of Mark's craftsmanship in similar feel-good tunes, try: "Are we in trouble now?" "Silver Eagle" "Wherever I go" "True love will never fade" "Lights of Taormina" "My heart has never changed" "Get lucky" "In the sky" "Long cool girl" etc etc etc Get the idea? Love you two!

I ❤ mark knopfler .. amazing ...!

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Emmy Lou Harris was at the top of the country/Americana genre in late 70’s……beautiful lady with hair down to her waist and a lovely voice. She is still with us at 76.

[@tootz1950]

You're right. This is a perfect song to sit back in semi-darkness with a glass of wine, to come down from all anxiety.

[@IanDarley]

Pa pa pow perfect.

[@elenasancho6074]

yeah! music is the best...

[@bluesman6236]

In this song, Mark is playing with a pick...not his fingers...using the whammy bar so beautiful. Mark is playing like his big idol, Hank B. Marvin.......Hanks famous sound with the echo, delay and whammybar on his red 59 Strat ....EPIC!

[@seanstevenson9891]

Beautiful song. Great reaction. Thank you.😊

[@kariborgos3043]

"I dug up a diamond" with the same two artists is simply beautiful and well worth a listen. ❤❤

[@nancyfranchetto938]

I’m so glad you decided to feature this performance! It’s one of my favourite all time songs. As usual, your reactions are real and heart felt. Mark is phenomenal and I really like how he shares the stage and lets all the musicians shine. Such a beautiful melody and touching lyrics. Thank you Andrei and Dominika

[@beverlymcgrath8441]

Emmy Lou Harris is extraordinary. You may want to listen to more of her

[@scotstevens5263]

Perfect summer day song at the beach 🏖️ makes you smile

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I never paid attention to Dire Straits, but when Knopfler went solo and I heard the wonderful songs he was writing, I was smitten. Just today I was listening to a CD of his group The Notting Hillbillies "Missing: Presumed Having a Good Time." Such QUALITY. Your Own Sweet Way is wonderful, if you haven't heard it yet, you should! As for Emmylou Harris, I've followed her since the mid 70's. I was never a fan of country rock, but she pulled me in every time. Her album with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton, Trio, is wonderful. And of course, Harris was featured in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou in several songs, but especially "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby." If you haven't heard that last, please react to it! So, thank you for this, I really appreciated it!

[@lucycooper2333]

I love These.two their reactions I*d love them to react to ticket to heaven by dire straits

[@larryhelmeczy4320]

Thie beginning of this reaction is funny. In the US we generally use the silent "K" for the excellent musician/guitarist. Emmylou ? : older, white haired but still beautiful and she still sounds great. She can sing on her own; she can blend with Dylan, Dolly Parton, whomever. it doesn't matter. I hadn't seen this before. Thanks.

[@pablomazzeo8540]

shangri la the title song name of the album ,. in that album good songs like Poscards from paraguay , boom like that , song for Sonny Liston , the trawlerman s song and others

[@WassPogoreloff]

You guys at it again - Mark Knopfler. Love it! The lad is a genius. :)

[@peterlazzari3650]

One of the very few times Mark played with a pick

[@GuitarPlayersFun]

Fun! Here he used a pick. 😁 Happen not much but this song yes.

[@raymondreynolds5898]

Just about any song from the album All the roadrunner is good. Especially If this is goodbye.

[@xxFORDIExx]

He actually does use a pick. Nowhere near as much. This song he is using one. Another great reaction. Oh and it's 100% a silent K. 😊

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

The genre of this music btw would now be called Americana …..,a blending of country and folk.

[@MickeeH]

Love this! To bad for thw copyright 😢

[@raminbohlouli1969]

You guys are the best❤️❤️

[@StevenQ74]

Marks name is not Scottish, his father was Hungarian-Jewish and fled to the UK in world war 2, and the K is indeed silent

[@agross12345]

Silent only in English - not in German/Yiddish.

[@WassPogoreloff]

Mum was Scottish. That makes him Scottish-Hungarian.

[@StevenQ74]

@@WassPogoreloff But the NAME is not Scottish since it is his FATHERS last name

[@WassPogoreloff]

@@StevenQ74 What the actual feck are we talking about here exactly? Grammatically correct English pronunciation (and the way Mark introduces himself), or the way words are pronounced in other languages - Hungarian, Hebrew, Russian, Arabian or Ingenious Australian? Grammar has nothing to do with it, ethnicity has nothing to do with it. Mark introduces himself as NOP-fler - end of story.

[@StevenQ74]

@@WassPogoreloff You were saying his mum was Scottish wich makes NO difference for where his name comes from! 🤦‍♀

[@philbrisell]

You two say some very fitting remarks.

[@theemaygoogleme151]

Both the K and the P are silent - Nofler. Love your reactions.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

They did an album together which is lovely. Perhaps you two would like to stream it….on a cold No ember night. 😁

[@jeanlucdelvenne]

hello I advise you Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - I Dug Up A Diamond (Real Live Roadrunning good listening kisses from Belgium

[@philbrisell]

Thanks a lot!

[@PeterDay81]

A touch of class.The drummer is one of the drummers from dire straits.If you have the time have a look at "MOTHER EARTH" Wuauquikuna . They are originally from Ecuador but they now live in Poland. they are great blokes. I think you will love this song.

[@paullilley3879]

Hello guys ❤ did you hear the news that Mark is auctioning his guitar's, I think for charity!Fancy owning that red & white one😂

[@jennywren7822]

Can I ask as a new prescriber to be, please react to A PIPER TILL THE END it is so beautiful. In one concert on here, at the end as you see here, a man shouted out PIPER TILL THE END after a lot of chat on the stage, they all played it, you won't regret it, you won't forget it either, it is so beautiful. ❤

[@dow311]

Lost Horizon by James Hilton was made into a movie, 1937 Lost Horizon, a group of people crash and are taken in by people who live in Shanghai-La. Worth watching, directed by Frank Capra.

[@thomasvanderplas3048]

Beautifull gold nugget out of Mark Knopflers chest.

[@williamcarr7347]

They make beautiful music together, but I like solo Mark singing from his album on this better.

[@chrislind57]

Hungarian Jewish, Full name Mark Freuder Knopfler.

[@jamestaylor8000]

Boom Like That a song about Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame

[@PalmSprings799]

You two are so much fun to watch! May I suggest a performance by Mexican artist Jennifer Degollado called El Crucifijo de Piedra. I think that you would really enjoy it. Thank you!

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

In English, a k before a consonant is always silent! As in “know”, “knowledge”, Knight” ( silent g and h as well) or knot. As I’ve a,ways heard it, it’s pronounced Nofler…..with the “o” pronounced as in “not”. The “p” is also silent.

[@annetteturner5972]

Yes agree, that is how Mark says his name

[@yakovnevsky7897]

I believe his last name is pronounced as "Nofler" - his father was a Hungarian jew and I believe it's a German-Hungarian last name

[@arnodobler1096]

German Hungarian Button is Knopf in German. One who makes buttons Knopfler ???

[@josemariagarcia.389]

Listen Cannibals a night in London with Sonny Landreth, please

[@double00spy]

One thing that amazes me is how bad the captioning is on these songs. They hardly ever get a word right.

[@frerecasto3408]

I don't like the songs where Mark Knopfler plays with a pick like that one... It doesn't really sounds like "him" for me.

[@AnnWaterhouse-f9w]

Silent "k" but the "p" is pronounced. Practise. It gets easier!
