Mark Knopfler - Our Shangri-La (AVO Session 2007 | Official Live Video)

[@juspapa718]

Master Knopfler most likely will not be given the recognition or acclaim he is worthy & deserving of in his lifetime, sadly not uncommon, but I rather think he’s not interested or seeking those things; that’s not who he is. To me it seems he wants his music, the notes & lyrics, to touch us & mean sumthin to us. For those of us he has touched thru his artistic GENIUS he gets the recognition & acclaim & somehow he knows. But again I don’t think he iz consciously seeking it though I believe it makes him happy & he appreciates it. That’s why he iz still giving so much of himself. His notes, verses, & choruses don’t come from his brain, they come from who he iz, his heart & soul. Every song iz a small part, a brush stroke, of a master piece that will never be finished. Kinda like the “Mona Lisa,” DaVinci never finished it cuz he kept adding more strokes. While Master Knopfler keeps adding more notes.

Indiscutablement, le meilleur... Merci.

Very nice ❤ thanks a lot

In Basel ist er immer besonders gut. Ist wahrscheinliche die speziele Atmosphäre. Er hat gesagt, die Schweizer seien immer die lautesten. Er hat aber, nicht daran gedacht, dass er im Dreiländereck Schweiz/Deutschland/Frankreich aufgetreten ist. Es waren im St.Jakob Stadion mindestens mehr als 50 % Deutsche ( sog. Schwobe) und die haben so laut gepfiefen und gegröĺlt. Und Elsässer/Franzosen (sog. Waggis) waren auch noch stark vertreten.Dire Straits und MK hat eine große Fangemeinde in Südbaden, besonders im südwestlichsten Teil von Südbaden, dem sog. Hochalemannen Land, speziel im Herrgottswinkel.🤩😅🇩🇪🇫🇷🇨🇭

Just lost for words to describe my love I have for this mans music from dire straits to his solo material just totally magical .

[@hypertype4000]

I had no clue who or what or where. Just accidently stumbled in this music!! ❤🎉

[@jamesmcdermott1050]

Uno de los mejores temas de mk como solista en su primera época grande!!!!!!

It's the end of a perfect day... One of Knopfler masterpieces.

This version of " Our Shangri-la" is just spellbounding!!! I have listen to this song a hundred times and it is just sooooo beautiful and relaxing.Mark Knopfler is in my opinion the greatest guitarist in the world and he plays with so much feeling and passion.I have a tattoo of Dwight Yoakam who is one of my biggest idols and inspirations on my right forearm and i´m giving serious thoughts of getting a tattoo of Mark Knopfler on my left forearm. Mark, l will love your music now and for always!!

[@luisprieto6215]

I run out of words to express Mark's capability to reach deep in our hearts with songs like this one. The sweetness of the melody, the perfection and uniqueness of his guitar are really overwhelming. Mark you are an absolutely great musician and artist. Thanks and God bless you.

[@jackiearnett732]

Perfectly stated! 🥰

[@glencampbell5201]

I have followed Mr Knopfler since 1978 I'm now 55 yrs young now. This is without a doubt my favourite track oh Mt Knopfler. Beautiful lyrics and heaven sent. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎸.

This session was my Birthday gift. This was just on my Birthday. Thank you my beloved Mark ♥️😘♥️😘♥️😘

[@dandlgardner]

This is the first time I have seen Mark Knopfler use a guitar pick.

[@davidharding200]

I think you’ll find there was one song DS I recall from either Alchemy or the Sydney BIA concert where he played with a pick. Maybe industrial disease, maybe two young lovers.

Pick no pick the guy is a genuine genius

[@julienvelvet]

Well said John Doe!

[@cwilliams875150]

Mr. Knopfler, you have and always will be a truly gifted guitarist and lyricist as well. My family and I saw you in concert at the Wolf Trap in Virginia on 6/26/05 while you were on tour promoting this album and you (as well as your very talented band members) were absolutely amazing and very professional! I haven't often seen you playing in this style, utilizing your tremolo and using a pick, but as always, it sounds beautiful and brilliant!

[@oliveringram3056]

Absolute genius.

[@nadiamotamedi8837]

Thank you, the man of strength

[@potorgheorghe8718]

I like dis song !💕💕💕

[@meymeycute4001]

t's the end of a perfect day For surfer boys and girls The sun's dropping down in the bay And falling off the world There's a diamond in the sky Our evening star In our shangri-la Get that fire burning strong Right here and right now It's here and then it's gone There's no secret, anyhow We may never love again To the music of guitars In our shangri-la Tonight your beauty burns Into my memory The wheel of heaven turns Above us endlessly This is all the heaven we've got Right here where we are In our shangri-la This is all the heaven we've got Right here where we are In our shangri-la

[@Saya-jo5cc]

Thanks so much ♡

[@libertyjustice2703]

The studio version of this song brought a grown man to tears. Especially when he sings "we may never love again to the music of guitars". After playing my guitar for 52 years, it hit me hard.

[@odettehokemeir4425]

This is so beautiful! Keep playing that sweet music

[@armanarakelyan8910]

Love the way he talks to the guitar 🎸🎶

[@michele21auntiem]

When less is more and finds the sweet spot on that strat everytime he writes a song. Thank you for never selling out.

[@richtownsend4876]

Who but Mark Knopfler can make a guitar talk and sing so beautifully? Wish I could see him in concert.

[@loriw8427]

I saw him last year and it's bucket list kinda thing. without you even knowing, until you do see him in person!!! Can't wait to see him again in my lifetime because it such a moving experience, like I've never experienced before!!!!! The best music from the soul and love personified!!!.

[@amywilson6328]

Pure magic

[@davescott6068]

Shocking to see how beautiful this song grew from an extremely melodic "filler" in this Avo Session, to the multi-instrumental perfection of Mark's cooperation with EmyLou Harris in the "Roadrunner" tour recently. Loved it way back then, fully respect it now. And love the way the "old gang" of Avo and other sessions have stayed around - bit like the drummer for Paul Brady said "I can't write songs like these, so the next best thing is to play them". I couldn't write them either, so the next best thing is to listen to them!.

[@thomasvanderplas2202]

Man how great is this version.. no words really. So subtle and gentle so simple yet so beautifull. I close my eyes and imagine heaven. Where children will lay down with the lions. Mark you are an angel to me. Thanks for everything
