Mark Knopfler-Telegraph Road-Córdoba 2019

Mark Knopfler, Telegraph Road, Córdoba 2019. Gracias a Jorge García y Antonio Cañas por sus magníficos vídeos. Dedicado a José Antonio por su generosidad. Sin su ayuda no hubiera podido terminar este montaje.

[@eloisesolomon3238]

I’m 78 and feel the same way Steven. I never get tired of listening to the music ever !!

[@marklowe7431]

14 minutes of anyone's life enhanced. I'm so glad while Mark Knopfler progressed through his musical journey he's still playing Dire Straits numbers.

[@michaelbstewart8892]

Well... I am 68... and I bow before a master guitarist and performer. Here is a man whose artistic genius precedes all else and he makes it happen in a way that few modern musicians can match... Just because the "would-bees" or could-bees" must mesmerize their audience in so many complex ways that perhaps much is lost in their great efforts! Yet there are amazing "Bees" out there that are absolutely incredible! It is just that sometimes we need to slow down a little... smell the coffee and dig this kind of music!

[@halinatantau1506]

The best ever . Regards from Australia

[@timbastable]

I don't suppose Mark ever gets to read any comments on these posts - but I busked Cordoba for a winter in the mid 80's - fantastic place - I loved it so much - was just a couple of years amy be less after seeing him playing live in the Roman Amphitheatre in Orange - First time I ever hear Romeo and Juliette. We'd heard the original dire straits album when we lived in Shetland just a few weeks after it was released. It blew out minds. WE set off travelling with our baby not so very very long after and never heard hide nor hair of much recorded music for a while. Roea and Juliette sort of cemented hima s genius in my head - he comes across as such a beautiful man - and a bloody genius of a musician - he's still doing it and please - don't stop!

[@corbe1970ify]

I seen Mark knopfler 14 times and he's played this about 9 times and everytime it just BLOWS you away in that concert hall, how the hell he's never been voted in the top 5 guitarists ever is beyond me, somebody somewhere has got it all very very wrong , GENIUS 👴🏼 🎸

Good morning. Still listening. Trying to listen to old version when Mark was young

[@AdamEwart]

I owe my tastes in music to this guy. My dad has always been a fan, and I grew up with Alchemy and Brothers and all the rest. What an incredible influence Mark, and all of Dire Straits, has been on shaping music... I am 49 now, and this is still as relevant and evocative as it was when I was a child. Simply amazing.

[@lindagoodwillmsimango2516]

I am 52 years now I am guitarist and singer I head that sound of his guitar and his style since I was 14 and never forget him until now that man can play and keep quite I certified when he add his strong voice I feel like I can fly

Mark Knopfler has unmatched wisdom.

[@williambruckner6049]

With his age comes wisdom, patience, and if it's possible a better understanding of his music. And we sit back and listen with admiration, gratitude, and awe. Thank you, Sir.

[@amigosha1]

I am 56 years old. On May 1, 1985, I was in military service in Israel. It was clear to me that I'm going to the Dire Straits show. I had to flee from the military camp I was at, to attend the concert in Tel Aviv. I'll never forget that magical evening. I was later sentenced to 21 days in jail. God.... it was worth every second in prison. Thank you dear Mark. May God bless you in good health Thank you forever

[@jehanne8610]

Great story, fantastic talent, beautiful music. Most don't know Knopfler or Dire Straits beyond what has been on the radio. My how brilliance and flowing ardor has passed them by. For the record, I love Israel and its people. How brave and forbearing the Jews have been for the last century. May the Lord watch over you always.

[@benjaminfuchs3667]

And his voice... is like good wine! It matures and keeps getting better and better over the years. As a diehard I have been following Mark and his musical friends from Sultans of Swing onwards. What an enormous load of musical joy has this man and his accomplices given me. Can never thank them enough for it!

I'm 62 as well and a 45 years long fan of Rory Gallagher and Pete Townshend, but This Telegraph Road has allways moved me upside down. Mark Knopfler wrote, composed, played and sang some masterpieces of Rock n Roll. He is part of the legend.

[@ankeriemsma9446]

well I'm 67 and I think our generation grew up with the best music ever !

[@Case_]

One of the best songs ever written (and an incredibly hard one to play). And it's fascinating to see how it's been changing and evolving throughout the years as the musician who created it changed and evolved himself, but one thing has always been unchanged - Mark's amazingly unique guitar playing style. And as this version proves - don't let anyone think he got slower or worse at 70 - quite the opposite I think.

[@spomenkazlokolica3061]

When he started in '78 with "w're the Sultans and then Communiqué and Telegraph road, he outcome as a unic musician. Then he performed all by himself and he even produced more beautiful masterpieces which always thoothed me and gave me deep joy and listened to him whenever on trip at Chalus mountain bendy road or by Lar lake fishing. All my love to him.

I have listened to this song many times over the past 38 years. The part about everywhere closing down has never resonated as strongly as now: Covid 19, Lockdown, and most places closed. As I write, we are coming OUT of Lockdown. Half the shops open have no stock to sell, as suppliers are not back-up, or, in places, have gone bust, despite being profitable. Run out of money. Sad times. Bad times for many. May you and yours "Stay Safe."

What a pleasure listening that marvellous sound. Mark and band brilliant in this intimate version of "Telegraph road". This was the song with which I became an unconditional fan when I listen to Dire Straits first, when I was 16 years old. Now I'm in my 50's and this song, Mark Knopfler and all his songs since that moment accompany me and they're the soundtrack of every day in my life. We're going to miss him at his live concerts, no doubt, but we will always have his songs to enjoy!

Yo estuve allí. No tengo mucha edad, soy adolescente aún, pero desde luego fue uno de los mejores momentos de mi vida. Ver a este maestro, oírle en directo. Maravilloso❤️

[@mgor9571]

I too was there. This song came on near the end, in the bullring in cordoba. I was over the moon as it is such a masterpiece, but also because it meant there was at least 14 minutes more of the concert. Local hero was the encore, genius.

Not even close to Dire Straits! I don’t believe there is anyone who can even come close to putting together anything like Mark Knopfler and the band. Anytime from their beginning to the last performance, in their last tour, at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 2019. Mark was 71 I believe and still sounding AMAZING! No one can come close to covering his talent or the shows he and his band(s) did over all those years, right to the very last one. And, I’m not too sure that there won’t be more appearances after Covid lifts? I wouldn’t be at all surprised.......They gave something to this world that just can’t be duplicated.🎸

I never get tired of listening to this piece of master story telling. MK is the best.

[@1rem1Art]

There is at least 15-20 live versions of this song on YT. Watch all of them and see how he tells a completely different story in each of the outro solos. That's what I call musicianship. As he is getting older, the stories are softer, warmer and more intimate, full of love. He is one of the greatest composer AND performer of our doomed century. Also his fellow musicians are always great.
