Mark's world-weary been-through-shit tone here couldn't be better. You buy every word of it. As in everything he does, he doesn't sing the lyrics, he lives them. Genius, the man is a genius.

Mimi Speike Dylan's voice has deteriorated painfully. Mark's gets better and better. But his strength was never his way with melody, it was always his integrity and power of delivery and interpretation. I do confess that I am partial to the smooth grittiness (how's that for an encapsulation?) of the On The Night years. He's lost some of that, but since I fear that it was the result of his smoking, which he's given up, I can live with the loss.

We saw Dylan on this past tour, and Mark Knopfler who opened for him just blew us away. So much soul. Made us fans.

Thanks,Mark for taking the time from your life to learn music and then share it with your brothers and sisters around the world. We all have better lives because of it. Thank you. I love this version and resonance.

He sings from his Soul ,and lifts one up from his songwriting as they listen,,God bless him.

My favorite Dylan song interpreted by a Master .. and a 'Peer' to Bob in every way .. and a good friend too .. all in tribute to "Sir Bob" ..

One of Dylan's best songs & a brilliant interpretation. Play this one when they scatter my ashes back to the ocean.

I'm weeping thinking of this playing at your funeral and I don't even know you. lol. powerful music.

Wonderfull!! Mr. Knopfler is Amazing!!!

I had parts of this song tattoo on my arm much longer than I had heard this gem. One part of this literally saved my life. I read the lyrics and cried as I have never before or since. All of the torment in my heart left.

Awsome! Mark's my all time fav.

I so prefer this version. Dylan was inspired to write it- Mark inspires because he's lived it.

This is the best interpretation of this song that I've ever heard. Bob Dylan wrote so many gems like this, but he never took the time to record them right. He just churned them out. He could have done so much more with such songs as this that he wrote. Another good example is "Lay Down Your Weary Tune". If it had not been for The Byrds, that one would have been lost too. I'm glad that others came along and realized what these songs were worth, and did something with them. Kudos to Mark for this rendition of Restless Farewell.

Mark does a splendid job on this song, but we all know he is one of the greats. Yet, I know of many of Bob's gems an amazing version done by Bob himself. Some people have the spirit, but then always each in it own special way.

Lets be fair. The original tune comes from the Irish tradition via the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Bob rewrote the words , and very well too, but with the same theme. Well done Clancys, Bob and Mark.

Bob Dylan has his idols too. He loved Woody Guthrie, he loved Clancy Brothers. Lord, he even loved Elvis. But that doesn't mean he "ripped off" anyone... This is an ignorant comment. His music was inspirational. He wrote "Like a Rolling Stone", not because he was once homeless and starving without food. He wrote that because he could use his imagination, and translate it into his genius lyrics and music. Go figure if you can

Beautiful Song

You give an idle click and you find a song and it beats you up. I'm in love with the modern world. Thanks.

So touching, so beautiful...This man is wonderful, I love his music..

Mark Knopfler is one of my top favorite musicians. I am shocked to hear that he is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. This is a beautiful rendering of this somewhat mournful song. :)

How much happiness this man brings to my soul.... I whisper every word of his songs lyrics...

My son passed 9/26/20. We would listen to Mark through the years. He always called him melancholy Mark.

Mark forever

There's no one out there to compare with this unique genius composer. No one.evokes emotion from me .But he can easily.

I once said to my friend that Mark Knopfler reminded me of Bob Dylan. She replied,"well maybe, if Bob Dylan could sing and play."

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!I LISTEN EVERY DAY!!!I LIKE TO ME FOR YOU!!!!

For all those who thinks he sounds like Johnny Cash, YOU need to listen to more Johnny. No comparison. And my favorite version of this masterpiece, which will be the last thing heard at my funeral? Norman Blake and Peter Ostroushko's. Magnificent.

Ah… so great to hear Mark loud and clear on one of Dylan’s best pieces. 🎸🍺🤙

A whole universe each time. A world of peace and harmony ❤🎵🎶

Very Old Irish melody - used by many, including The Clancy Brothers for their lyrics to The Parting Glass. Bob Dylan used the same melody for his lyrics to "Restless Farewell" - the Folk movement did this..... it is acceptable to keep the tradition going ...

Thank you. Beautiful.

i didn't see the video, but first listened to that song in 1963 I think, and felt it was a masterpiece, especially from a guy who was 21/22 then. Mark K has given us something really special doing this piece. He has an affinity for the essence of it. Thanks mark. i thought I should play it all over the place, but it's too good for that treatment.

Beautiful Mark. Beautiful Bob.

I love and love. 😄 Thank you. 💋

This is a fine version of a marvelous Dylan song. It was Dylan's take on The Parting Glass an equaly beautiful Irish traditional song.

in ten years ,Mark s voice will turn on Johnny Cash s voice as he will go older , i just suppose ... he has a very similar voice , and i listen them both allmost all the time ...i m feel honoured to know their music .God bless them all ,brilliant musicians they sing to us ..

Sums it up pretty well, I'd say nice one Knopfler

Трибьют-альбом Chimes Of Freedom : The Songs Of Bob Dylan...(2012) приятная возможность услышать интерпретации творений Боба Дилана в исполнении таких музыкантов как Pete Townshend, Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Patti Smith, Pete Seeger, сын Боба Марли Ziggi, Kriss Kristofferson, Seal, Mark Knopfler и др.

Where does he get them from,every one a little gem,a little piece of class,a masterpiece in a minefield of shit,long live Mark,keep them coming & by god we'll listen to every one

Canta precioso este hombre

'Times are a changin' album was one of the first I ever bought as a kid. I could sing every word and when I worked as a gardener I sang the whole thing to myself whilst mowing the tennis court. Dylan's version still twists my gut (as does 'One too many mornin's ) but this version doesn't..

Since when is music a competition about who is more epic/awesome/talented than the other?

Do NOT "farewell" without knowing Jesus. And time is RUNNING OUT for all of us in this world. Choose LIFE. Choose Jesus, NOW. While you still can.

if someone doesn't know that, it's a song written by bob dylan, however this is a fantastic version! :)

Mark has taken a lot of influence from "The Parting Glass" here.

the parting glass

I heard this and thought. I know that from somewhere. So I researched it. Dylan hears the Clancys and Tommy Makem do the original. He does a version on his 1965 album. Knopfler does a cover of Dylans song. I'd be willing to bet a whole lot of songs are like that.

can't understand how that's possible

Sort of a mix of Johnny Cash's voice and Van Morrison's music style... Interesting.

@Grapefruitossy1203 Hali! Köszi a választ, utánanézek

mark covering Dylan covering trad doesnt get better

Please do not bid us farewell too soon!!! My heart woufl break!

This was a song Bob Dylan wrote - when he was 22. Good as Mark is, he's never going to top this.

Holy Christ, it is a bit of a miracle, never heard it before!!! Is it on a new record, or some unrelease stuff?

Having heard Liam Clancy and soon after Mark Knopfler sing this same song there is strident discord amongst the words . Any help to the original is most appreciated . Peter behind my Judy .

This reminds me of purple grapes.

PARTING GLASS... The song Restless Farewell written by Bob Dylan and featured on The Times They Are a-Changin' from 1964 is heavily based on The Parting Glass. if you follow the walking dead, Emily Kinney and Lauren Cohan did a version that leaves me in tears every time bc of what was to happen... Oh all the money that e'er I spent I've spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all ... Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all
