The drummer is freaking out of sight.....he's on fire!! What a beautiful version of a great song.

[@brianwhitish5898]

One of the best live performances ever. Terry Williams on drums and he kills it.

[@colingoode3702]

Agreed. No disrespect to the original drummer Pick Withers but when Terry Williams joined the band DS acquired a much harder sound & all the better for it.

I remember the first time i watched this i was like "Damn they good but holy shit that fucking drummer is insane."

[@Isleofskye]

???????????????????????? I like you GUys and I was just about to PRAISE you Guys for a good Reaction and then you stopped the video seconds before The Grand Finale, which is insane. I, LITERALLY, don't understand a you saw they will still playing and about to end and there was a little time left on the video and you ABRUPTLY ended it. In 14 years of being with KZbin that is the craziest ending and you guys were really enjoying it. Madness !

[@N7Sound]

What a drummer

[@Elerad]

Man I love seeing all the young people on KZbin discovering and adoring Dire Straits and other great seventies and eighties bands for the first time. Does my old heart proud.

Have you watched the George Harrison tribute concert...OMG

[@Werrf1]

In the mid-1970s in London, Mark Knopfler (lead guitar, vocals, writer) was out with some friends. They ducked into a dingy little pub to get out of the rain. They found themselves in a nearly deserted room, with just a handful of patrons propping up the bar, but in one corner was a live band playing Dixieland jazz. Despite the small, disinterested audience (who 'don't give a damn about any trumpet-playing band'), they were putting their heart and soul into the music, playing like they were in a packed house of screaming fans. At the end of their set, the band's leader stepped up and announced grandly "Thank you everyone, we are the Sultans of Swing!" The grandiose name compared to the modest surroundings struck a cord with Knopfler, and this song was the result. It's a love letter to small-time musicians, the ones who play for love of the music, don't chase trends, and don't apologise for who they are.

[@PixelVibe-RGB]

Sometimes, several people hear a song, without actually listening to it. But I like to know the context, the story that inspired a song. A song can sometimes take on a whole new meaning, when we know what inspired it, what its author was experiencing when he or she wrote it. For example, the dramatic context behind the song "Zombie" by (The Cranberries).

[@dagmar.6954]

Love Dire Straits. They are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Brothers In Arms", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "Money For Nothing", "Walk Of Life", "Telegraph Road", "So Far Away" etc. They don't have a bad song.

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

[@richardhargrave6082]

Its possibly the best live performance on You Tube and I'm really pleased you are sharing it with friends and showing their reactions. As you say, you can watch it over and over! I have seen it so many times, I was there when it was filmed and it is full of so many memories. The whole place was rocking, I was on the balcony (just out of shot a few rows back and you could feel it bouncing! For me, at the time and re-watching it, Terry Williams on the drums smashed it out of the park. I think we knew how good he others were. That's the best drumming I've ever seen at a concert I've been to So glad you all enjoyed it

[@borabingol6797]

You were there? Wish I were there too. I sometimes cry listening to this. I wonder how was it there then, listening live. It must be a life time worth experience.

[@richardhargrave6082]

@@borabingol6797 It was memorable for sure, music brings out the best emotions, hear talent brings out the tears I was 18, second gig I went to, the first was the Rolling Stones, So I thought this was normal! When you are that young, you don't really appreciate it so much, although I do remember this better than most of the others. We are lucky that it was recorded so well at the time and we can enjoy it again and again.

Here's another live performance at the same concert "Dire Straits -Telegraph Road Live - aLCHEMY Tour 1983)" and I'd like to introduce you to another great band "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (Official Music Video)" Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 comprising vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist "Flea", drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante. Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock, hard rock, hip hop, and psychedelic rock, and their music videos are very creative, masterfully done. Lovely reaction, thanks for sharing👍
