That’s the good stuff that at 55 year old I wish we could go back do it again those were best times. The music spoke to you and you could feel it they were real artists and entertainers unfortunately they like us getting up in age and I see nobody to pick up where they left off. This younger generation, what they call music just isn’t music to me if you can’t feel it or it doesn’t get you moving then that’s not music. You were lucky to have the opportunity to see them live back then.

🎸 I had the pleasure of seeing Mark knopfler in concert around "1988 ish." He was playing guitar as part of Eric Clapton's band. The guy from Squeeze was the opening act. That was a tremendous concert. Of course, during the show, they played many songs from the Dire Straits catalog. The highlight of the night had to be when Eric Clapton and Mark knopfler went at each other in a straight-up, one-on-one guitar duel. In my opinion, the night I saw them, Mark knopfler outplayed Eric Clapton. Man O' Man, those were some Good Times at the concerts of that era. 🤘

For the next 20 years or so I had a blast going to concerts with my buddies. The music was so much better at that time. Many of the Rock-N-Roll icons from the 60's and 70's were still in top form.

Phil Collins was fire in it too, what an experience it must've been. It was the 3rd or 4th rock concert DVD I've ever watched, around 14 years old and I was so amazed by it, still am.

I like how he looks at the dude standing next to him like "You heard that, right? Yeeeaaah.". *nods silently in self approval

This man round his way, and tought the entire Earth what art and inspiration are ! Thanks for what you’ve done, Mister KNOPFLER 🤗

The older I've got the more I've learned to respect his work.

LOL, by contrast when I bought that CD in 1985, I cranked up the speakers and made my dad appreciate it too!

That's a nice set of licks. He should write a song with that someday.

He’s great. Saw him with Clapton in the August tour. 22nd of January 1987 ❤️

I didn't know Prince Williams knew how to play the electric guitar gunch that's hot

Mark is a master of his craft, a lyrical genius and never cease to amaze me.

One of the greatest guitarist of all time.

I'd like to see him and Lindsey Buckingham jam it out on stage. Two of the best guitarist that can play without a pick. Mark's very talented without a doubt 🎸👍

I’d love to hear Mark Knopfler play Lindsay’s guitar parts in Fleetwood Mac. One of the few players that could get it sounding right.

Heavy Fuel never gets played enuff!!😁

​@@adammassacre1981 Matt is right in a way though. People are quick to talk about Hendrix, Clapton, Townsend, Page, Richards, Gilmour, May, or Van Halen, but they often neglect to mention Knopfler. I mean, also-rans such as Jonny Greenwood will inevitably (and inexplicably) be talked about as 'one of best' way before Knopfler gets a name check, something that has always bugged me (not that there can be a BEST, but come on). And since we're talking about underrated players, I saw a Rolling Stone Top 250 list last year where Andy Summers was number 250. Ugh?

My dad is hooked on knopfler, I told him I saw him in concert twice but he was too busy saying “they’re banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee”. I showed him a ticket stub I kept in a plastic bag with all the other stubs I’d collected for posterity sake. Strangely the bag also had green shake in the bottom of the bag and had an earthy smell but that went over his head. I should have been more careful as a teen…
