Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet LIVE (On the Night, 1993) (REACTION) with my wife

[@danieleciprari9041]

Happy birthday to our beloved Mark Knopfler, celebrating 74 today ❤❤❤

[@raycornford283]

"All I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme" - great lyrics!

[@judsonquiaoit8256]

You two are almost as wonderful as the artists, what a couple....

[@scottnorvell2955]

Indeed!

[@scottnorvell2955]

They why are just wonderful aren’t they? I love their reactions.

[@davidfeltz8697]

The guitar work us just beuond besutifil. Nobody plays like Mark. One of the greatest of our time!

[@capetowntrikeman]

So bloody glad that I got to grow up with this amazing music.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Dire straits live us sooooo ridiculously phenomenal.

[@grimreaper-qh2zn]

The Guitar is a National Guitars Dobro Resonator. It was designed in the 1930's because acoustic guitars were inaudible in a dance band and the Electric Guitar had not been produced. This had a special mechanism in the body that in effect amplified the sound.

[@gilfinzi922]

Forget the singing, fordet the music playing just think of how much of a genius Mark is to write and compose so many amazing classics.

[@davidfeltz8697]

That is a fact brother. He is sensational. I think a new generation is rediscovering him. I have enjoyed checking him out on KZbin.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Dire straits is the shit! 🙏

[@davidfeltz8697]

Dire Straits live is fire 🔥 few bands can blow the doorsvoff like this band. No fancy crap just a great tight band.

[@marcodebrabander5751]

The sax solo is amazing in this live version!!

[@spartakdauti9783]

Happy Birthday to Mark Knopfler today He turns 74 !!! . This is one of their last performances from their Last Tour ''On the night'' 1992. I discovered them when I was 12 y, old in 1989 and I listened only their music for at least 2 years . So many fans were shocked when after 15 years they left us at their Peak, after their last album On every street . For me it was like a piece of life not fully enjoyed . Their music remains a wide river of hope, sadness, melancholy, peace, irony, optimism and humor. '' We know we have made so many people Happy '' they said when introduced at ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME on 2019. Beatiful reaction as usual !!!

[@VforDK]

A part of life for me also…. And same here discovered them when I was 12 ….. but in 1996 🎶

[@phillipdunn6009]

Knopfler and gilmore are british legends, both amazing guitar players, my favourtes along with stevie ray vaughan.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Bingo buddy.they make my top five for different reasons. All of them are so emotional and just insaneastery

[@TheMkamix]

I had listened to Romeo and Juliet so many time but I had never seen this amazing live version.

[@ezerlab1]

On The Night from 1993 DVD is a magnificent performance.

[@MrSpikeMilligan]

You two are lovely. So is this song

[@nunoferreira6920]

What a great show.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Oh thank you! Thank you thank you thank you! ❤

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

"Why worry " it's a very beautiful and simple song. Very beautiful 😊

[@davidrodenkirk5561]

Magic!!!!

[@johnfreeman5310]

For information, Mark's guitar is called a Resonator, sometimes also known as a Dobro guitar

[@jdbroders64]

This live version of this song is the best and just killer. Beautiful.

[@waligerber9410]

From the moment they had a saxophone player, every version is great, i miss the electric guitar in the end in this one.

[@DavidG-u2k]

Mandela Concert version (and many, many others) are surely much better; this one misses the beautiful final guitar solo.

[@leocmen]

Love your comments... you really felt the intensity of Dire Straits

[@paullilley3879]

Mark is a'Geordie boy' & very proud to be.They have a particular outlook on life.I love how everyone smiles when mark sings for us all.A true troubadour.Well done,as always guy's.xx

[@klarakorn3081]

every Track from the first 3 Albums is a Hit

[@MinistryOfDarkness11]

Happy 74th birthday Mark Knopfler. New solo album coming out soon I heard. His 10th one. Can't wait. Still plays guitar as beautifully as ever.Another great reaction guys. Cheers from Australia ❤🙏🎸

[@waligerber9410]

The song is about MK’s love to a girl (Holly Vincent), and he thought after she gave an interview and said „ i just had a scene with him“, witch is in the lyrics too, that she used him to boost her own career (Holly and the Italiens). It‘s in the lyrics to, „i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real, how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals“. He had a hard time to get over her! And made one of the greatest songs in the 80‘es with it.

[@Carrot421911]

I love this version so much. The saxophone solo is just superb and fits the song so well. I also love that the sax player literally "steps out of the shade" like Romeo in the lyrics.

[@brunobrauer6301]

Best version EVER!

[@mgjkoehler]

Wow, you two got it bad! Once down this road you find parts of you you never knew you had. How fun watching yall.

[@arnodobler1096]

I sit all night with my buddy🍻🍻, listening to Dire Straits live versions of songs, arguing which version is better. Good memories. Thx

[@tiagopinto365]

pure and simply Magical....

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

The guitar is a ‘resonator’ and is a National. Mark Knopfler is from my home city of Newcastle. Chris White on sax was amazing at this show and Paul Franklin on the steel guitar also.

[@double00spy]

Interesting that Chris starts the song playing an alto sax, and ends up playing a tenor. Something I hadn't noticed before.

[@fredericknalaremah939]

Simply magnificent!

[@davidfeltz8697]

You guys just continue to dazzke mevwith your dedication to Dire straits. Vand is freaking awesome. You guys have great taste.

[@SeanDoyleRescuesAnimals]

My favourite review of this song by far i love the way you get its the whole band i am 58 and have listened to dire straits since i was a kid.

[@healdogtoe2c]

A beautiful song performed beautifully does improve the day.

[@marioandreacocco446]

I enjoied same tour, in 92, Bruxelles, and Rome! What a band❤❤, Mark genius

[@concordia697]

Your soul will sing in unison! A few days ago Diana Ankudinova released an amazing , very beautiful new song - The Day You... New vocal level!

[@girs666]

Dire straits and Mark knopfler make me start learning guitar 35 years ago Fantastic band and guitarist Im grateful to have listening to us for 3 decades

[@CaptChaos1964]

I was very lucky to see the band live 5 times, and MK more times than I can actually remember, great days, I Off to London in January to view some of his 120 guitar collection that are being auctioned off.❤

[@johnclibbens6803]

Wonderful version!

[@NickBR57]

Still one of the greatest love songs by one of the best bands of my generation. The trouble with this song is that the first verse instantly brings the onion ninjas out of the woodwork. Yhe sax is one of the most emotional instruments in the hands of a great player. It has the velvet of the clarinets liwer register but brings it to all registers. All hail Adolf Sax and Mark Knopfler. You should have seen them in '78/'79 !!!

[@donaldcoffey800]

Chris White pretty awesome on saxophone too!

[@antonzz7727]

Love you guys with the Dire Straits rewievs!

[@jonnno243]

Yes,the guitar is a resonator,and is shown on the front of the Brothers In Arms album.

[@ozymandias7940]

That particular guitar is a 1937 National, style 'O' which Mark bought from a friend he used to play in a band with pre Dire Straits. It was fitted with an internal pick up and cable jack at some point to amplify the sound. If you look closely, you can see that the tortoise shell lucite pick guard, that these were fitted with, has been removed on this particular guitar.

[@matthewneeds285]

Wild theme from this tour live is simply beautiful

[@dk2428]

*It's a resonator/Dobro, there's a story behind that specific guitar narrated by Mark himself. That sax btw...LOVE!

[@jjalves74]

Can you imagine listen to it live? I was fortunate enough to be able to see them in Lisbon in 1992. It was legendary and one of my most treasurable memories.

[@michaeldicerto6265]

"I love you like the stars above. I'll love you till I die."

[@jesusbustamante1845]

Beautiful

[@Jb-Raja]

This song and this version is in my top 10 of all time, I must have heard it hundreds of times over the past decades. Thank you for the beautiful reaction.

[@matthewneeds285]

Hi guys, the guitar is a National Dobro. Its a metal bodied acoustic guitar with nylon strings. Now Mark has retired from touring I encourage you to see the Dire Straits experience. Its the closest thing you will get to the real thing and has a couple of members from dire straits in it too. Keep up the good work guys

[@BirgitLuczakowski]

Magie Live alle Seelen Zusammen die Musiker die Zuhörer alles spielt zusammen ,jeder gibt seine Energie dazu das ist es .

[@simply_psi]

Nothing else sounds quite like a resonator guitar the 2 main makers were National that Mark uses and Dobro, the Dobro is other laid horizontally and played as a slide guitar, and artist called Jerry Douglas plays a Dobro in the slide style and he is amazing as well.

[@andreaswandrey9004]

I love live performances, there the performers can really show what they can do. You show in your "live reactions" how much you are absorbed in it. A lot can be covered up or embellished in the studios - this is not possible live. The real stars appear on stage. Keep it up.😘👏

[@LuciferPat]

Another best track from a great concerf. Love so much this version than the studio version, give me more and more emotions. Mark voice at his top, sound so deep! You absolutely have to react at the song YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS from this concert! ❤

[@bydavidmitchell]

Another great reaction guys. I'm so glad you love Dire Straits, and Mark Knopfler. The guitar is a National Style "O" resonator. Keep up the great work and please, continue on your Dire Straits / Knopfler journey.

[@gerrydantone6834]

This is as good as it gets with love songs. I saw Mark Knopfler in 2019 I do believe, and he performed this song and it was the highlight of the concert. One of the greatest songs ever.

[@BlueDogK]

Guys ❤

[@Thescottishguyreacts]

This song always makes me tear up

[@lidiorandon234]

Well now you can listen “where you think you are going? (Live) another masterpiece

[@romanzaeski7718]

Kocham Wasze komentarze. Chyba nadajemy na tych samych falach

[@samlawrence4670]

My favourite dire straits song, it was truly epic when I saw them live as well.

[@simply_psi]

Dire Straits one of the very best live performance bands ever, up their with Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple (2nd line up).

[@jordimoore2167]

I love this song! No one ever plays it.

[@pyewacket24]

Oh my goodness. Never my favourite band but this is the ultimate song about teenage love. So poweful and wonderful but so rarely love at the right time. Thia took me back 40 years to some sweet memories. Thank you, as always xx

[@royalway12]

"I can't everything, but I'll do anything for you".

[@BirgitLuczakowski]

Das ist Musik richtige Musik, das geht direckt in die Seele und in dein Herz ,man denkt nichts mehr, man fühlt nur ,alles ist leicht alle Sorgen sind weit weit weg ,das ist was Musik tun sollte einen mitnehmen auf eine Reise der Gefühle ,einfache Magie Wundervoll .

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Very interesting how you were introduced to the song, compared to the older folks. I completely understand your attraction to the video. As I'm sure you can understand, I myself remember getting this CD in 1984 and listening to it many, many times. My 40 year video is different from the one that was made.

[@barryfrazer4304]

This version is new to me and simply awesome. The whole instrumental sections are quite amazing.

[@corbe1970ify]

I managed to see dire straits twice 91 and 92 on this on every street tour so I've heard this mega music song live twice, completely blown away every time 👌🏼

[@dazalenko4250]

Cold chisel - cheap wine - young angry jimmy 😜classic

[@seanstevenson9891]

Thank you for that treat. Love you guys. Please keep 'em coming.😊

[@brendanbyer2327]

After the band ended, Mark Knopfler put out some great music on his own.

[@farmerbill6855]

Including the soundtrack to "Princess Bride".

[@TomCastor]

Agreed. I love Golden Heart

[@samuelsmith6804]

Rediscovering dire straits in adulthood is one of the greatest blessings to ever happen to me.

[@draguladirt]

I suggest Private Investigations - from the same concert .

[@NickBR57]

Excellent suggestion.

[@scottnorvell2955]

The Alchemy version of Private Investigations is in the queue. I chose this one but went with Alchemy for the other. The video is not as clean on Alchemy but it’s a more classic version of Private Investigations. I do hope you like it though.

[@williamcarr7347]

One of the best live in concert groups.

[@BirgitLuczakowski]

Man ist nur traurig bei diesem Magieschen Momente nicht dabei gewesen zu sein ,diese Gefühle wirst du nie wieder haben ,als in diesem Moment nie wieder Einzigartig .

[@musashimiyamoto586]

You two are my favorite reactioneers;) I have got two more strong recommendations: Private Investigations (Also from On the Night, I think) and Calling Elvis (same venue, different vibe, but brilliant nevertheless). Experiencing these wonderful performances "with you" makes me regret never having been much into concerts in my teenage years.

[@ozymandias7940]

Mark weote this song about his relationship with Holly Vincent, who broke up with him after she negotiated her own record deal. Mark used a line in the song from an interview she appeared in, "Mark Knopfler? Oh yeah, I used to have a scene with him." He also references a song from the movie 'West side story', "Theres a place for us, you know the movie song."

[@anderspettersson9885]

"On every street" and "You and your friend" from the same consert pleeease!

[@double00spy]

Mark is playing a 1937 Style O National resonator guitar. It is brass, but nickel coated, with an etched Hawaiian motiff. Resonator guitars have a built-in speaker which is driven by the vibrations of the bridge/saddle where the strings attach. It was an attempt to make the guitar louder so it could play with bands before the electric guitar was invented. This is a beautiful guitar with a unique sound - I have a 1935 model myself.

[@gunnarkstad8365]

I'm not sure where you are but I'm sure it's not here so it's amazing how our thoughts and feelings align when it comes to this band. In my mind you have to know how to play an instrument in order to call yourself a member of a band and when you have this, the best guitar player and pianist plus all the other musicians on one stage with great songs it is the best of all time, isn't it?

[@JoseDthoppil]

🎉

[@neilshayler3119]

When Chris Whyte plays that saxophone on Romeo & Juliet it's just staggeringly good. I still don't think this versions a patch on the Mandela concert. As a group I've never seen anyone else live as good simply MK and Dire Straits were in another league

[@CCHouse-d5d]

This is my favorite Dire Straights song!! Wow im surprised people still play this

[@stuartwhite24]

Great version the sax player is called chris white

[@paullilley3879]

30 year's ago!

[@markrogerson5344]

Mark knopler is always the coolest man in the stadium

[@dugii12345]

man sax, its like extra organ to MK and Dire Straits, every time when they have sax the music is on new lvl, magic....listen to Wembley live Dire Straits Sultan of Swings, they have sax in there, damn awesome version of song...to me even better then Alchemy because of sax!

[@andrewmorton9327]

When you compare the live and studio versions of most of his songs you find that they are very different. Mark recently said that when he went back and listened to the records he was often startled by how much he'd changed them from the originals.

[@WokeBegone]

You really should have watched the Alchemy live version of Romeo and Juliette - it's so special and perfect - perhaps a third reaction to the same song?

[@rarebond8102]

Excellent! As your enjoyment is key, perhaps you shall find the newer recommendations equally beneficial! Heart full of Holes... Cannibals... Lights of Taormina. Trapperman is also a gem!

[@lucianodarciliorodrigues9611]

Mark Knopfler,,, The best guitar

[@monolit73]

Diana Ankudinova has released a new song! There are not enough words to describe the feeling of flight that this song gives. Diana Ankudinova - The Day You... A surprise awaits you!

[@tradeladder146]

Go Away.

[@mathcoolen7924]

🙏 Old stufff is great.....again great reaction....must try ...Private investigations - Dire Straits 1986 Sydney LIVE .....thankxx

[@neilshayler3119]

Q. how do you take a unbelievable song and make it better A. Give it to Dire Straits and let them play it live

[@stevewalsh4850]

You nailed it, the soul and talent is missing in todays society, not that it can’t be brought back, but we let “AI” Take over

[@gfrce257]

You should listen to the indigo girls cover , dire straits wrote it and its epic but the the indigo girls cover is transcendent

[@justoalias]

Mark Knopfler's collaboration with Tom Jones on the song Feel like going home, Tom Jones' voice is great, but Mark's guitar is out of this world elegant. Please react to this topic

[@irgounemeth4645]

Guitar is a Dobro, metallic 6-strings

[@kevinsattler6603]

Mark knopfler solo 🔥🎶🎵🔥🎶🔥🎶🎵
