Dire Straits - 'Sultans of Swing Live Alchemy' Reaction! Three Words: Knopfler's Guitar Work!

[@deegomez2089]

Corey at a concert 🎶🎵....Olli at a funeral ⚰

[@wietholdtbuhl6168]

Yes Sir 😂No Passion No Notes running through his Blood 😢

[@graemey]

Olli always looks the glummest of glum things on a glum day. Like his wife has run off with his best friend, he's crashed his car and his house has burned down. If this performance doesn't stir him nothing will.

[@timetravellingone]

He doesn't like white people's music, why even bother. In the current climate i'm surprised any blacks are reacting to white rock and pop music, they normally would be trashing it. I said what I said

[@hackermusic3355]

Does he ever act like he enjoys anything at all? All I see is "Yeah it was alright" like even that much pains him to say.

[@Rabbitnl]

“It was good”. No sir, it was GREAT!

[@rescuelover7891]

Thank you Corey!! You get it. Smiling and bopping the whole time 😊. Even Fenom was going. Ollie, sorry son. I feel like you've never heard real music. 10 minutes of fast paced cohesive playing by all these guys. They are all artists in their own right. And they are having fun. No divas here. One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Thank you gentleman for this live coverage❤.

[@adam.4487]

yeah I don't get it, the young guy, Ollie is it? He always looks so bored watching good to great music of times gone by. Such a pity. :(

[@cliffwheeler7357]

[@kevinmalley6937]

Yeah, seriously, Olli, you missed it

[@jeffstevens4262]

Mark Knopfler on lead guitar, and Terry Williams on drums. Just incredible! 🙋‍♂

[@ommadawn8434]

No one turns a 4 minute track into a 10 minute masterpiece like Dire Straits.

[@SilverHolland]

To be fair, I'm not sure Mark wanted it to be 4 minutes, but for radio and hit parades, you need to cut it down. A debut band can't hog the radiowaves for all the time between commercials.

[@DrSaxi2774]

I do not understad why this guy is there !!

[@richardhargrave6082]

Guys, I was there and they didn't make us clap, it just happened. I was 18 and this was my second gig, I was a couple of rows behind the dark haired girl on the left of the picture and it was pretty quiet until they played Sultans! Then it kicked off. Everyone was clapping and jumping, we thought the balcony might not take it, you could feel it jumping under your feet! This band were on top of their game and the best of the best at the time: Mark Knopfler - guitar, vocals Alan Clark - keyboards John Illsley - bass guitar, backing vocals Hal Lindes - guitar, backing vocals Terry Williams - drums Tommy Mandel - back up keys They were all brilliant, but as you saw as well, Terry Williams on the drums was outstanding, he always played at 100 MPH, but it was perfect as well. Over 40 years later its still up there. We are so lucky that the top tech at the time was used to record it and we can enjoy it. Now, you have to watch Telegraph Road from this gig, its the law! BTW, I want to go to a gig with Corey! His enthusiasm is infectious!

[@christinehoughton8591]

Oh yes you just have to show Telegraph Road from the same Alchemy. This is my favourite Thanks guys much appreciated your comments.👍

Knopfler is the GOAT. Such a beautiful sound

[@michaelb2388]

Better than Hendrix? What about Jimmy Page?

[@overthewebb]

I'm British and I don't think knopfler is the GOAT, but he's up there for sure. I would personally put David Gilmour above him, but it's a different style and he up there for sure

[@renlessard]

@@overthewebb My 3 favourites are Gilmour/Knopfler and Beck. All have the cleanest sound

[@overthewebb]

@@renlessard Finger picking knopfler is the goat at finger picking style as no-one else does it and can do it. Knopfler plays electric guitar like a classical Spanish accoustic guitarist, he's on his own on his style. Gilmour and Beck are good shouts also. But completely different sounds. So much is subjective. I personally love hearing that single note ala Gilmour as well as I'm sure you do

He’s one of the few that has their own unique sound. One can even hear it on some of the music cameos he made through the years. I love it!

Corey seems like a man who can appreciate quality. That's a man I'd take car shopping or deciding on a tailor.

[@douglassnyder214]

When people talk about this recording, they rightfully comment about Mark Knopfler. This is legitimately one of the great guitar solos every recorded. But, I love that Corey & Fenom talked about Williams on the drums. The drummer freakin' crushed it in the background. Most people just talk about the guitar solo.

[@chrisjenkins6120]

What a drummer!!

[@QuicknStraight]

Every song is a duet between Knopfler's voice and his guitar. He sings a line, replies with the guitar. And he's one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived, simple as that. And Terry Williams on drums was the glue that kept the whole thing tight. Alchemy is certainly one of the best live albums ever recorded.

No, it wasn't. His father bought him his first kit when Terry was 13 years old. He was 36 when he played this so stop talking rubbish

[@brendathompson6421]

@ sorry if I got it wrong! I was going by what I heard!

[@Obi-J]

[@ugadawgs1990]

Love, love, love this version. If you’re ever looking for another amazing song, try Brothers in Arms. It’s moving and one of the best songs of the 80s.

[@nesk2011]

I bet Olli is the live of every party.

[@RosewaterElf]

Corey's joy is infectious but I always watched Fenom. I like to see him smile in quiet appreciation. As for Olli, if it's YT comments that are getting him down, he needs to stop reading them and just go back to being himself and loving/not loving what he hears without reservation. I'm so glad you guys watched this. The official video is good but this live performance is something else.

[@richardhargrave6082]

I doubt it was the first time he ever saw him play, Terry played with Rockpile before joining Dire Straights. His dad may have been in the audience, its more likely it was his first time seeing his son play with Dire Straights because this was the end of a long tour

I saw them live on this tour in 1985. Best live performance I've ever seen. EVER!!

This tour was in 1983 so either you've mixed up your years or you saw them on their subsequent Brothers in Arms tour. Either way I envy you. I've seen Mark in concert several times but never got to see Dire Straits.

[@CJ-Fischer]

Hey that’s it…For Dire Straits this it! The Very Best of the Best song and Live Video! So damn awesome! I could watch this once a week and be blown away every time! 😅

[@Steffe]

Real music.

[@4yules]

the drummer keepin up a feverish pace!

[@davidw7]

Mark Knopfler's admiration for Chet Atkins (a Country music pioneer) and the projects they were later to work on together as well as the strong friendship they developed. Mark after Dire Straits would do Country as it has roots also in his Scottish musical roots. Giving Chet Atkins credit in Mark's evolving of his own style. Both also used a thumb pick and did eventually get to play together.

[@graemey]

Mark doesn't have Scottish musical roots. He was born in Scotland to an English mother and Hungarian father and moved to England when he was 7. All his early musical influences were from within his family and from the Tyneside music scene where he was involved in a number of local bands from an early age.

[@davidw7]

@@graemey Point is... He clearly gives it credit in links. Look up one titled for one - Mark Knopfler on his return to Local Hero: how he penned the songs for the new Scottish musical. In the link is also his own comments.... Knopfler, who was born in Glasgow in 1949 and moved to Newcastle when he was seven, revealed he drew on his Scottish childhood musical memories for the more than 20 songs he has written for the show. “I used to listen to records when I was very, very small, probably before I was two: I was listening to the radio and my mum singing. So it’s natural to me." "I think it is partly coming from Glasgow, and from being in Scotland, and from the north east, where my mother’s family is from. There are huge links between the Geordies and the Scots.” As a American... I should not have to note such things. He also gives the Blues a nod... and of course his love for US Country music whose roots are in Scotch-Irish heritage mixing with some Blues. Leading to Rock-abilly and Country Rock/Blues leading to music the Beatles to Stones and others credit they took from. Mark again did that Country music aspect later in life and it all is connected .... not really English if that is the claim to take from others of the Isle?

[@graemey]

@@davidw7 I have never heard him mention his Scottish influences before. Typically he refers to his upbringing on Tyneside and musical influences there, as in this chat with Brian Johnson in Whitley Bay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5DTkqlrqL6ma9U He also credits listening to BBC radio programmes broadcast from London in his childhood, e.g. Listen with Mother and Children's Favourites, there wouldn't be any Scottish influences there. During his childhood, before commercial radio, when the BBC was the only body allowed to broadcast, there were only 4 national radio stations, none of them Scottish. I am not sure where he would be exposed to much Scottish music before the age of 7.

[@davidw7]

@@graemey I think the point of he was as if too young no longer in Scotland with his parents moving to Newcastle and therefore he could not really have much of a Scottish influence.... was what I was correcting. He noted in numerous links later in life of his connection and of course the US Country/Blues one and a legacy Country guitarist and pioneer... Chet Atkins. So further details do not change why I comment that yes he did gain Scottish influence he said even at 2-yrs old in his development and to lessen it serves little as my point. His own words claimed it and whom and heritage he credits.

[@jjc5407]

A lot of Mark's solo work has Celtic influences. Also I've never seen him use a thumb pick although he does occasionally use a standard pick.

[@maxrnb01]

Next to Keith Moon, Terry Williams is my favorite drummer of all time. Checkout his work with Dave Edmunds and Rockpile.

[@geffryg]

Three personalities here. Let them be. Corey lives the moment every time. Fenom loves the music. Ollie just chillin’. I love the different approaches.

I so regret neglecting to see them live.

[@loisrogers9042]

YES!!! THE LIVE!

[@billc.5861]

As a drummer I feel Mr Williams did great, his fills were in the right places and he levitated the song a bit when needed then back in the pocket flawlessly. 👍.

[@gailparz]

Notice the 3 solos? All part of the song and not someone just showing off. Knopfler is definitely one of if not the best guitarist.

[@lotusladylotus6159]

Corey, I appreciate that you 'get' it (although your buddy at the bottom of the screen seemed unimpressed 🤨). Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists: He is known for his unique finger-plucking style (doesn't use a pick like other guitarists), his excellent tone, his nuanced and emotive phrasing, and his phenomenally dynamic arrangements of their tracks, in addition to being the songwriter. Their live performances are always amazing, and their crowds always show their appreciation, and participate (you can oftenhear the crowd singing when he performs "Brothers in Arms" live, which you should check out from Live- On The Night , 1992). A couple of other performances from this same live Alchemy concert are worth reacting to, if you haven't already: (1) "Telegraph Road" is a collective musical masterpiece that really showcases what they were capable of pulling off on stage; (2) "Once Upon a Time in the West" is the other great track. I will always tune in to see a Dire Straits reaction!!! 💙

[@straightouttacornwall]

[@jjc5407]

Mark does occasionally use a pick. Espresso Love and Our Shangri-La are two of the songs where he does.

[@lotusladylotus6159]

​@@jjc5407 Yes, I know, but those are the exceptions to the rule, if you will, going all the way back to 1977. The point was, that one of the things that he has been KNOWN for IS his unique finger-plucking style, and his resulting signature sound, which as a trained musician myself, is one the many qualities that I appreciate about his music then, and now.

[@jjc5407]

@@lotusladylotus6159 agreed, but another quality I appreciate about his music through the years is the fantastic variety in his guitar playing. Yes he has that gorgeous signature sound, but there is so much more. The range of guitars he uses combined with many different playing techniques has resulted in music that is as varied as it is sublime.

[@DavidEveritt74]

Top shelf performance.

[@ruth2141]

The studio version of "Sultans of Swing" was Dire Straits' first single from their 1978 debut album. The two Alchemy concerts were years later, in 1983, at which point the band personnel had changed almost completely. The concerts were at the end of a months-long tour so the band was super tight, and most of the tracks became legendary. There was a double "Alchemy Live" album released the next year, supposedly truly live recordings with no studio tinkering.
