Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing 1979 Live Video

My favorite guitar player in the whole world. Mark K. is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark has a God given talent for sure.

finally the only one who’s able to play perfectly this monstrous piece of guitar masterpiece

In 44 years does anyone think people will still be listening to any current hit today? Really hope music comes back to great sound like this sometime soon.

Summer of '79, a three month hippy honeymoon across Europe. It's around midnight and we're running through the Munich train station trying to catch an overnight to Vienna. Sultans of Swing is playing through the station loud speakers at full volume. First time hearing it. The feeling of euphoria is still there...over 40 years later.

This Sultan is 41years old, and still swinging. Mark Knofler’s gift to the world. Thanks you.

This song is a masterpiece. Nothing more, nothing less.

Mark is praised, quite logically. But the trio behind him is also really awesome.

I'm 76 and still cry when I hear this group. They're mesmerising!

This was 45 years ago. A time era with great guitarists. No one on this planet will ever be able to do it again.

I have to come get my Sultans of Swing fix every so often - it's just such an exceptional, evocative song in every way. The lyrics put you in every roadhouse you ever wandered into. Needless to say, Mark Knopfler's guitar performance is a lyrical classic.

the only band who delivered good classic rock in early 80s!

Mark Knopfler, unforgettable 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mark is an absolute professor of the guitar.

One of 30 best songs from 70's

Classic for the ages. So good.

This is by all means the definitive version of this song!

The first time I heard this song was the summer of 1978. I was in the backseat of my dad's 77 Chevrolet Caprice 4 door, while driving along the shore line of Grand Traverse Bay Michigan. It was late afternoon and we were on vacation going to our hotel on the bay. I told my dad to turn up the volume and he did and me, dad, mom and older sister rocked out to it. Well, at least me and my sister did, but our parent didn't seem to mind the song. To this day when I hear this song, it takes me back to that moment. Good times!

Best Dire Straits period, thanks to Pick Withers.

This is a song I will NEVER get sick of!
