Mark Knopfler & Jimmy Nail - Why Aye Man (The Ragpicker's Dream Limited Edition bonus video)

[@RobRidleyLive]

I'm a Whitley Bay lad born in 1966, left home at 17 and have been out in the USA for the last 18 years, I could write an essay about what this song means to me but three words say it best "Why Aye Man".

Consider yourself special 🙌

[@marianwalters5241]

‘Tonight we’ll drink the old town dry, keep wore spirit levels high!’ So bloody accurate. Love it.

[@joyceh2721]

a geordie lass of 1952, Whitley Bay, left 1979 for foreign land, this song makes me proud..great stuff...

[@RK-ml2ns]

One of my favourite live performances ever.

[@stationmasterschoice-walku1307]

Brilliant song-and I agree possibly the best live version ever with Jimmy Nail the perfect link between the series and the song. I shall never forget that bit where this music is playing as we see the American Indian gentleman appearing on the dockside. Magic!!

[@ryanlawrence9010]

Best guitar world Alive.

[@NicoMKDC]

Maybe the best live version of this very song.

[@ryanlawrence9010]

Pair of babes xxx

[@ttdrummond5528]

Agree ❤

[@louisevaughn2281]

Is that John Illsey playing bass?

[@2312slowhand]

Yup. And Chris White on sax by the looks of things. Nice little Straits throwback 💪🏻

[@surfwriter8461]

This is a good live performance. I just think the flashing spotlights are ridiculous overkill with a lighting effect that's distracting and headache inducing.

[@mhz771]

Scotswood born and a proud Geordie & Northumbrian but how does Jimmy Nail contribute to this, just curious 🤨

[@jammiedodger]

The song wouldn't have existed if Nail hadn't asked for it for Series 3 of Auf Pet.

[@colininnes7331]

jimmys a Geordie and played a brickie in auf wiedersehen like the lyrics state plus it was theme tune for auf wied 3

[@annekeohane8895]

Geordie then
