At 76 years old, I feel like 30 when I listen to Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits

Ditto~!!! I'm 74 and feel like that and remember what I was doing when I first heard "Sultans" in '72~!

[@vanessanazareth9085]

I absolutely loved Mark Knofler. Easily one of the world’s best guitarists. Absolute Legend.♥️🙏🏽🎸

[@easterlinear]

Yeah he’s alright

[@BillAndersonNS]

Paul Franklin is only featured for 50 seconds in the video, but oh, what a 50 seconds it is. Every riff and every note is exactly where it should be. Such iconic pedal music.

[@markfulton956]

absolutely, there are a few ambitious steel players that have put videos on here, playing this end riff, and they are great efforts, but not entirely on the money Paul is so fast and deadly accurate.

[@sayoojsgarage2065]

He did amazed even Mark knopfler in -On the night version. He indeed give the intro for calling elvis song

[@mwolfenbarger1]

Mark Knopfler deserves every bit of praise that he gets, but that band...WOW.

When you are this good you have nothing but the best surrounding you and mark has done that very well with team of musicians! Guy Fletcher Richard Bennett Danny Cummings Alan White Glenn Warf Matt Rollings are just a few of the masters to achieve a sound that works with marks wonderful talent.

There is something about that Paul Franklin's solo...Its Flawless!

[@imarps9554]

Yeah it is fucking amazing

[@Mouseend]

Yeah seen countless of covers on this solo. Each one amazing! But, still there is something missing. Type of feel/feeling that only Paul has. Can’t put my finger on it, it’s just such a flawless and amazing solo

[@roydenpereira5726]

The admiration Mark has for everyone in the band is simply praiseworthy. A genius himself but that shows that he genuinely loves music and his guitar. Such humility!

HE IS WONDERFULL SO IS THE BAND!!!!

[@gdg005]

So very well stated, a virtue most people don't have anymore, humility.

Paul Franklin's steel guitar solo towards the end is a masterpiece.

mark's face durin paul's solo is 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@moosecat]

I was expecting Mark Knopfler to have a solo in the outro, but he showed what a consummate professional he is, and let the steel guitarist strut his stuff. Way to go, Mark!!!

[@MHB48615]

I don’t have to say anything about Mark Knopfler. Everybody knows how good he is, but Mark Knopfler knows how good Paul Franklin is. So does Vince Gill and a LOT of other A-list musicians of all genres. An incredibly well played steel guitar is something to really be appreciated.

[@Nico-li1bg]

I love how mark is astonished by Paul franklin’s solo and so am I

[@lucmc123]

I got to meet Paul Franklin in Nashville 2 years ago super nice guy and who wouldn't be astonished

[@tigervv6437]

It is the exact same solo as Paul Franklin played on the On the Night album, recorded during the early 90s.

[@nickjrkingunkotok9673]

Ain't we all. Man he can play,

[@davidcassidy3956]

So many changes after he met Chet Atkins. Paul Franklin on pedal steel guitar.

[@jlbuenomeandro]

Hahaha 😅

[@zebravo2842]

For me Dire Straits the best rock band of all time and Mark Knopfler the best guitar player and song writer ever.

[@invista4134]

Paul is AMAZING..! The control, the pitch... wow..

That steel pedal solo... Gosh it's perfection in music !

[@tvsognefjord]

Etienne Peyre ,that,s Paul Franklin!!

[@ThyLLiS-]

@@tvsognefjord To be completely honest, I didn't know about him before this video. Gosh he is a fantastic musician. Doing such a melodic solo is pure talent.

[@chriswhite5601]

Something very special happened there. Hard to explain, but the guys in DS felt it when he was playing.

[@pycre]

@@ThyLLiS- watch the "On the Night" version of this song, slightly better than this version (by a semi inch ;) by Paul Franklin the best pedal steel guitar ever !

[@ryantaxter6149]

Mark is top 3 to me, and to see him be so happy and excited about that steel solo made me so happy.

[@markhilliard4037]

Walk of Life is one of the best songs of my life...Love this version. Amazing how seamlessly, wonderfully it bridges across Rock/Roll and country styles! If your toes aren't tapping to this song you are legally dead...and the steel guitar player at the end wooohhh! He has the performance of life time, like he was waiting his whole life for this solo opp and he NAILED it with an inspired performance!!!

[@derekhartter5179]

Mark Hilliard Paul Franklin has many great solo performances! None the less this particular one is awesome!

[@markhilliard4037]

Derek, I'm sure you're right, growing up in the Midwest 'country' areas I've heard many, many steel g. solos but this is absolutely inspired and so damn crisp and creative, he ends the song with brilliance!

[@erichemard7066]

I credit Mr Knopfler for my success as a musician. I spent countless hours as a child listening to Dire Straits following along to the rhythm using my mother’s broom as a guitar. It wasn’t until she was getting behind on her chores was when she decided it was time to get me a proper guitar. 30 years to the day, I still listen to Dire Straits, and follow along with the same guitar my mother gave me. Hats off to you Mr. Knopfler a true inspiration to all.

Knopfler is great. It doesn't look like his fingers really do much. It amazes me the sound he gets from what looks like a very simple lazy playing action. Best guitarist ever.

Mark... When i hear other guitarists like Clapton etc. It feels like they always had it, and they never really got better, you know... Mark has had an evolution curve you can really hear with time. And i love it. He never stopped trying to perfect the same old songs. In the 80's he was just another guitarist. i mean he was good. But he became an alltime great after what, 30 years of perfecting his craft

A Te, lumachina. Ovunque Tu abbia deciso di fuggire… senza darmi un addio. Sarai per sempre l’incipit di Vita Nova. Anche se ho sofferto parecchio… ti mando un forte abbraccio. Non sapevo che nella vita si potessero provare dei dolori così immensi da farti sentire i brividi in ogni singola vena. Non posso provare odio. Solo tanta compassione. Che amarezza… Mi manchi come il primo giorno, quando ebbi la fortuna di farti entrare nella mia vita. Te lo dissi… “abbiamo fatto la cosa più difficile al mondo: trovarci tra milioni di persone. Ora facciamo la più semplice: cerchiamo di non perderci”. Eppure sei fuggita… 😨 Andrea 💜
