Nothing better to listen to Mark’s music on Christmas day! 🙏❤️🌲🎸🔥🥂🍾

The man is a master in the way he edits language, says so much in simple phrases that take you by the throat. Many artists dazzle with style, and that is fun too, but Mark dazzles you with style and genuine substance, he comments on life in ways you don't anticipate, and that is the best fun of all.

I'm sorry...but my eyes watered with the sound...profound respect for the depth of your music...an involuntary response...wow...you are an artist of the ages....

What is it about MK's voice that mesmerizes me? It is hypnotic. His guitar playing, too. No one else comes close.

There will only be one MARK KNOPFLER ❤️

Wonderful harmony of instruments brought together by bright talents...

Saw Mark in Phili when he was on the Tracker tour. One thing I can vividly remember was i was next to my good friend, a dj from Jersey who had scored the concert ticket for me. Mark was soloing at the end of Hill Farmer’s Blues. I looked at her and she looked over at me and we just shook our heads and smiled at each other and just went WOW...I was totally drawn in and connected to Mark’s solo. Quite an emotional experience and hard to describe. I will be a fan of his forever.

That must be a reaction he inspires in his audience quite often then... Me & my sister have been to a couple of his concerts over the years and we always have at least one moment like that per concert. A moment of sharing of glances and grins of enjoyment.

look at his face when he sings Hill Farmer´s Blues, "So bad, So bad...", at minute 6:35 and begins to play the final guitar solo: completely focused!!! total inspiration!!! only a few times I saw that expression in Mark´s face in his shows!

Mark knopfler is a great musician and wonderful singer. I somehow missed him in early days. I just discovered him more recently. He is my go to singer when I tire of other music. He’s a keeper👍😃

There is a linkage from Mother Maybelle to Chet Atkins to Mark Knopfler so deep in the art of the guitar...so deep in their lyrics...where the words and the chords reach our souls...where the human race finds honor as we listen to every song...as life blooms from one generation to another...a beautiful life where there are no politics to divide us...where the gift of ears and mind can salvage our souls...

I have everything that this genius has done. I first heard Dire Straits in 1978 when I was just 11, and have been in awe ever since - I turned 50 in February. I surprised my oldest son when I turned up on his doorstep in Salford, having driven from near Coventry, to say "Come on Ryan - I'm taking you to see Mark Knopfler Live at the MEN". This was the one we went to, and it was stunningly brilliant!! This combo of tracks is one of my all time favourites - simply breathtaking! The week before, I had taken my Father in Law to see him at the Genting Arena in Birmingham. The set was pretty much identical - as you'd expect so close together. I could go and watch him every week. Would love to see Dire Straits again - that's a different conversation completely.

Bin a fan of Mark and Dire Straits for as long as I can remember, but am also a fan of John and Michael for nearly as long. This is feckin brilliant.

suuper Mark

Who the hell wants a flawless diamond? a generic clone...genius always contains the Mark of its maker, bumnotes and all, certified human, with all its faults, foibles, cracks and imperfections, the toil of the artist in the struggle for perfection.. offered up to the flame, the divine spark of creation, the crucible of creativity

তুমি এখনো ছোট ....... Lyrics: Father: It’s not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You’re still young, that’s your fault(তুমি এখনো ছোট, এটাই তোমার দোষ..) There’s so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old but I’m happy I was once like you are now And I know that it’s not easy To be calm when you’ve found Something going on But take your time, think a lot Why, think of everything you’ve got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not Son: How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again? It’s always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go Away, I know I have to go Father: It’s not time to make a change Just sit down, take it slowly You’re still young, that’s your fault There’s so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old but I’m happy Son: Away, away, away, I know I have to make this decision alone - no Son: All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it If they were right I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go Away, I know, I have to go Father: Stay, stay, stay, why must you go and Make this decision alone? No

Simplemente unicooo Brillante genio

geillllllllllllllll

What can we say...!

guitar and Mark same person

Hill Farmer's Blues is so dark. For me, it is about a man who has been dealt a bad hand at every turn of his life. He blames everyone, and, ultimately, God, for his situation, and now he is rejecting God, and everyone, because of his hurt. I totally identify.

When Hill Farmer's Blues is transitioned to from Father and son, it begins with a tin whistle then is it Richard who does the opening and closing? What is the instrument?

I am a huge Knopfler's fan, but this song's solos are getting increasingly crappier as the time goes by. The whole of it seem like a reunion of unconnected guitar licks. Not even closer to this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/poBs1LSYd93ToZc.html.

I have to agree for the solo in this version, really seems a bit rough and unconnected sometimes. However, I still liked his version in Vienna 2013 very much, at least as good as the one you've linked to. There isn't an upload of this version though, but I was lucky enough to be there and also get the MP3 stick :)

I'm a very accomplished guitarist and I can honestly say that people like Mark get so cocky after a while or egocentric or whatever that they forget about quality for their fans. Too bad...
