Thank you for sharing your gift. What a wonderful thing!

This guy has soooo much talent. Makes my hair stand up on my arms. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Incredible talent

There must be a converging spirit that's bringing folks to this in 2024.

Saddens me to think that someone with kind of talent is wasted on the streets as a busker.. You are FANTASTIC MARK

Beautiful Mark.

He wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment. Pure happiness is on him throughout. It's obvious why

Pretty intense guitar parts. We loved the cool grooves Mark Allen found on his Fender guitar. Excellent guitar riffs. Thanks.

Wundervoll! Kann dir stundenlang zuhören. DANKE

OMG is all I can say! I can't stop playing it on repeat! 😲😲😲🤯🤯✨✨✨

😂❤love you you are send from heaven, so touched from your amazing sound, perfection, feeling, crazy 🥰

Back in the day my band only did 2 covers in our set lists, Mad World and Planet Earth, Mad World was my favourite and took some convincing with the other band members, we were a New Wave/Punk band and quite good at what we did, but once we got proficient of this song and put our flavour on it there was no convincing needed! This is a great rendition of this awesome song!

Not sad or mad anymore you make all different..thank you so much❤best wishes from Wetzlar, Martina

Just Fantastic - A very very gifted man, I have been lucky enough to have travelled the world and seen many of the “Guitar Greats” live, this Gentleman is up there with them, I would happily travel anywhere in the world to see him perform. Much respect to you Mr Mark Allen.

You are so right John my friend.Second to Gilmour Mark is one of my guitar heroes. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HIS SOUND. Hopefully something great happens to this man,he really deserves it!Best wishes John and take care.

You feel your music , inside you .BEAUTIFUL.

Superb rendition 😢❤ great playing tonality express 👏 👌 live buskers bliss to the 'passersby ^

This guy is amazing. He could put together a collection of these stellar outside performances, and I would certainly buy it.

His face impressions gave me goosebumps 🙌🏻

I have major goosebumps all over...What an amazing talented soul...I found Mark just last week on u-tube when I was searching "Going Home" by Mark Knopfler..then I found Mark...Incredible..YOU truly feel the music...will be watching all your other work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!! xo Suzanne (Idaho)

Seeing a guitar well worn shows your absolute passion. Your expressions show your love of what you do.

I am crying. This touched my soul. And everyone just walks by, missing out on a world class rendition of a beautiful song. mad world indeed

That was terrific!

First there was Eric Clapton,then there was Mark Knopfler, now Mark Allen ,a new musical experience for me !!

I have lost track of how many times I have watched this Mark. I am confident i would just sit and watch you all day long. Megafan.

That must be the most beautiful guitar piece i’ve ever heard. Mark you take the term ’making a guitar weep’ to a whole new level! Brilliant!

Nice place foe people to gather. If I was there I'd definitely stop to listen 😉 Beautiful ♥️🎸🎶 Love this song and your guitar 💚💙 Thank you for sharing on KZread 😊

Wow! What an amazing rendition of a classic song. He has so much soul, and the passion for playing is so evident in his face and sound. Soooo good!!!!

Never heard of this guy before but that sent shivers down my spine. Awesome performance.

Incredible!!!! 🎼 Also the guitar is awesome. Well seasoned. 🐕

It's beautiful, is not it? If this isn't happiness then I don't know what will be... If this isn't a feeling then I don't know what will be... If he's not a great guitarist then I don't know who will be... Playing his guitar is for him enough to change the world... If that doesn't change my world then I don't know what will do it...

Hoooo ! ce mec est fantastique ...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙

Hi Mark, that was amazing! ... words can't express how much that moved me. Thank you so much and it's wonderful to hear such lovely music being played in the city where I was born 80 years ago.

Iconic sound this man is talking through his fingers

I’m happy to see someone in his position still pouring his soul into a guitar, gives me hope for the future

Brilliant interpretation. Guitar tone is fabulous too.

AMAZING 😎🎸👍

Thank you for getting me through these rough mornings. I’m totally captivated and can escape into your music. Thank you.

The one that got away make him a star beautiful playing lot better than some famous players its all in his face so much feeling and emotions in his playing beautiful sound off that strat just talent playing for people in street people just walking past stand there and listen in stead of all the crap today throw some money in he deserves it 👍

AMAZING,IF EVER I HAVE WITNESSED PASSION THIS IS IT!

These are the people who should be famous not the so called talentless shite kids love today year's of practice beautiful playing mark and sound all from small amp in the street that neck had some playing so much feeling mark should be more famous

Amazing talent. 1000 likes👍

A tear to my eye every time I play your version Mark. Thank you for not just this masterpiece but for all your uploaded music on this channel. I reckon my son and I have watched them hundreds of times, you’re a regular face in our home. My son Blake is an aspiring guitar artist and song writer. You bring a lot of passion and inspiration. Thanks and stay well. Cheers Paul.

Soul is screaming..people walking by in the presence of a master. Absolutely beautiful Mark

I have tears in my eyes while listening to this

these videos are blowing me away i am pretty hard to please with guitar too, you are a master! its like the shadows crossed with the sensitivity and nuances of SRV maybe that sounds strange but he had a lot of soft picking and stuff too, i hate it when every note is the same attack and there are too many lol, i find that with so many other players.. but this is such an excellent interpretation, again! my friend, thank you.

This is ironically the best version

This is no instrumental cover any more. It is definitely a complete Mark version of the music piece. Really appreciate it.

No one owns him not like this mad world. ❤️🙏🤙. Thousands walk by him everyday with a dollar in the pocket mmmm

Wow. Just wow. I have been a Tears for Fears fan since the 1980s and have heard a gazillion covers. This is-BY FAR-my favorite. Thank you SO much, for posting this artfrob! I'm now a fan of Mark's AND yours!!!

I had the pleasure to meet Mark Allen today in Llanelli by coincidence as he was creating the most otherworldly bubbles. What a brilliant musician also. Will definitely keep in touch!

Beautiful playing, brother!

Wow! That was stunning.👍😊

Your hands speak. Thank you :)

This is deep on so many levels.

like a fragrant garden growing in the desert

What you are playing here could be played by a first year novice. But, it would take a lifetime to play it with the depth and power of your performance. This made me gulp with emotion. Just superb.

Thank You. My playing is simple as I never learnt scales or theory. I just try to put everything I've got into every note . Sometimes it works, other times not so much !

I suspect that is actual wear from passionate playing, not vanity relic'ing on that guitar - Ohhhh this is sublime...My new and best guitar hero.

Simple but deep soul my friend. Great expression and interpretation of this piece. All the best and respect to you my friend.

If I had the talent to play this is how good I'd hope to be.Incredible,the feeling in every note.So special.

As usual completely heart rending Mark. Rob

On peut la regarder une centaine de fois j'adore superbe talent classe de SANTANA

All l can say is, l’m mesmerised by your playing, your choice of music to perform is...impeccable. I get goosebumps “every time” l hear you play. You’re the best mate. I can’t get enough of listening and watching you perform. Absolutely incredible. 😊👍👍🇦🇺🦘

I sounds like Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and prince all at the same time in so cool

Mark, that was fantastic and by far the best cover of the song I have heard. You are a great musician, such emotion and talent. I keep playing this on repeat. Liked and subscribed.

Awesome! Reminds me of Jeff Beck and David Gilmour! Every note dripping with emotion! Yngwie Malmsteen should take a few pointers from this guy!

How is this guy's name not a household word? He's up there with all the greats as far as talent! Awesome!👍😎🎸🎶

Heartfelt playing - you can feel the madness.

You make life so light when you are playing

you and guthrie govan are the only 2 to ever make me cry from a guitar lead...this is incredible man just so good. you are great this lead cobvets more emotion than the weight of the songs subject matter great job transfering the pain and emptiness into tone brother and keep doing it. i was looking for something as reference because i wanted to do this exact kind of cover, and yours was the first i clicked on. instrumental music is the best, telling the story without words is no easy feat but just sincredible, and the setting...thank you so much! more of an inspiration than i ever expected from a youtube video you have something special in you sir.
