Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark
It’s raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain’t what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
and he makes it fast with one more thing
‘We are the Sultans of Swing'

John's bass is soooo vital in this song. Nobody is saying that. It gives a lot of groove to this masterpiece in the record (like in six blade knife and in the gallery). John simply deserves more credit.
Dire Straits were probably one of the best bands at changing volume and tempo repeatedly throughout a song and bringing out every subtle nuance in their performance. This is what live performances should be like. Even if you're not a musician, there's something that everyone can take out of seeing and hearing something unique. It also allows the players to avoid being overcome with boredom -- playing the song the same every night. It does, however, require that the band have that deep connection and know how to play together, and play off of each other. This is a clinic in how to do that. Utter brilliance!

Как будто солнечный весенний Ветерок залетел .Обдал Свежестью !Новизной !Сочностью! Бодростью!Чистотой !
When you think of all time "EPIC" live performances there is "Sultans of Swing(Alemy live)" and Santana at Woodstock "Soul Sacrifice". The common dominator?....a once in a lifetime drum performance that takes a exceptional group over the top.

But Knopfler replaced both Hal Lindes and Terry Williams shortly after this.

I have watched and listened to this piece hundreds of times (maybe a thousand) and still get goosebumps. To me it’s simply the best live performance from all involved I have ever witnessed. Everything in complete sync, and Williams on drums the icing on the cake! You knew you were going to get a great mark knopfler but it’s everybody. To this day I’m so blown away by this production, and I’m 69 years old. Absolute PERFECTION.

I agree, this song is the best thing that ever happened to me. I actually like more the live performance one than the original.

The Drummer “is” The Level😍🙌🏽.
Words can’t express…I’m simply blown away. And that, I think, is the most worthy praise you can give to music.
SURREAL!!!
In a thousand years listeners will still enjoy this magical masterpiece of musical art! Definatly all time top 10 stuff in my opinion.

For me this is the best version! Never gets stale. Now approaching 70yrs, difficult to find other live songs with such near perfection😎😎

Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd live from Pulse..goosebump stuff
I was there,best concert I have ever been to,also saw mark in front of only a a few hundred fans in shepherds bush arena,years later the best.
There should be another button other than just like to show appreciation for this video! What a performance!
That drummer is on fire! Amazing. I wish I could single out the drums and hear just him. The man is totally in control.

Hes actually not. His time changes when he pays fills. He speeds up slightly. Its a no no in the drumming world.
The thing with Sultans Of Swing is, most of the time this song is performed live it seems to be way better than the studio version, live version have something that makes this song extremely special.
