Incredible. I'm 73 and I started listening to Dire Straits any many years ago, and will continue to listen the rest of my life. I will request Brothers in Arms and Telegraph Road for my final music choices. MK is simply the best musician I have heard in my life. Thank you Mark for your genius and the emotion in your music.

Could not agree more. Thank my lucky stars to have seen him 3 times in about the past 40 years. Long live Mark Knopfler ! ✌👏💪🎸😃

Privileged and deeply honoured to have been able to attend his concerts in the last 10 years each year all the way from Mumbai(India). Thank you MK.

Está es la música q le da vida a mí hermano durante su enfermedad

Le Morceau de référence de Dire Straits. Toujours la même signature du Meilleur guitariste au monde. Merci Mark Knopfler. Thanks for all you have done ! Adel Houdrouge.

This is the best live performance of any song I've ever seen.

Yes what we forget is we wear out as we get older, one video I've seen after this one he shakes his wrist after playing this. I'm 75 now and pain is normal, it's hard work playing that guitar with a wrist that hurts. I don't think he'll stop completely, but no touring and concerts, it's probably his life. Jeff Lynne's the same he's still performing and he's 74, doesn't look a day older than when he built ELO. Both worthy of Knighthoods and I hope that comes true before its too late. I've just rediscovered both on here after many years and I listen with my ear buds and dance in a fashion 😅 Long may they reign with good health...

Phénoménal solo final - ca joue profond et vite , chaque note est soupesée , le tout est à fort pouvoir évocateur .... magistral .....

A masterpiece of a great great great genius !💕 Thank you so much Mark !🙏🎶🎶👋👋💕

MK is 60 here,....... Iam still awestruck at his style & beauty.....I criedwhen he announced his retirement....... Don't believe or let him!!!!!!! I am so sad. love you Mark ,,,,,,,,,,till I die......... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been listening to guitar players for well over 50 years. NONE equals the magnificent finger-picking Mark Knopfler, including BB King of my youth! None!!

Cuando Dios hace musica es para la eternidad

Esse homem é inconfundível, inesquecível... E melhor músico do planeta. MK ❤💃🇧🇷

Thanks Dad (rip), you've shown me what good music is. MK my idol now and forever

Never too late,I play telegraph road three times in a row every day in a week, great music by mark

And I have loved him too, 45 years now x

No flashy musical gymnastics. No contorted expressions. Just stunning music.

I wonder who Mark Knopfler was the opening act for at this concert. Must be hard being the next band on stage after this? Astonishingly good

This song - and the way Mark Knopfler performs it... it has always been and undoubtedly will always be my most favourite piece of music. A precious work of art and a beautiful, deep story at the same time. Thank you.

Makes me happy, gives me goosebumps for +30 years now.

Pure Genius doesn't get any better than this!

Mark Knopfler The now old man, old dad and I assume an great old Grandad 👴🏻 His music is pretty much like the old wines, the older they get the better they teste. I did like the “kings of swing” long ago, but never before followed his music, until recently re discover it again, and since then I am his big fan. Go Mark, go :) !!!

Extraordinario Concierto con un sonido fantástico Muchas gracias Miguel Angel

First saw Dire Straights in the late 1980 at Julies nightclub in Newcastle upon Tyne,where i worked on the door,they were unknown just about and burst into song with Sultans of swing,took over the club and ive loved them ever since.

The song is a journey. For man who only set out to be a musician and not a star, MK is just fantastic. A true master of his craft. I'm so glad that I am not the only one who appreciates musicianship of a higher order.

Not so sure about that. I think he had in mind to be a rock star and progressed into a magnificent musical genius. Love it.

Undoubtedly that Sir Mark Knopfler remains the "Shakespeare" of music of all times... what a brilliant performance, a classic symphony of modern times...

Extraordinaire !!! J ai toujours autant de frissons en écoutant ce titre après Alchemy tour 83

This is absolutely sublime. An artist who never stops to mystify an audience with his amazing songwriting, musicianship and by far his virtuoso guitar. Genius

I agree. Mark is a real genious, and it a pity do not share a masterpiece like this song.

This man is so stunningly talented - always has been - magnificent performance!

Truly melodic.

An absolute classic. The interplay of guitar and piano; the range of dynamics - and of course MK's soulful playing. I do prefer this to later live versions where he uses a more distorted guitar - something about how the purity of the clean sound works better for the song IMO.

Today's Oct 23/'19. I've been listening to MK for 3 or 4 hours. I'm going' down Telegraph Road again... This one resonates with me, but then they all do... One I start, I can't get enough... Yeah, he's older, but W0W, he's still got it... I'll be doing this again b/c I can't stay away...

The brilliance of Knopfler on full display. At times his performance is so magically understated that I have to look twice to confirm to myself that he is actually picking. I have not long left on this world, but I intend to spend an inordinate amount of it listening to Mark. He sends my soul.

Bullwinkle.....you said it for many of us old fans !...this particular song hooked my forever

does it get any better........smooth, a dear friend turned me onto Dire Straits, way back in tha day. loved them and him ever since. especially as we've matured, i find him sooooooo comforting. he only has a few of his caliber.......and they make it "Look" so easy. SRV RIP, Mr. "Slowhand" himself of course thats the great Eric Clapton, the Late George Harrison & Roy Orbison. there are others. so soulful and they don't have to jump around, and get all 'CRAZY' to express themselves. Watch Roy in 'a black & white Night' he barely moves but he's rockin it big time and knockin it outta da park. I feel that Mark's mellowed like the finest wine, esp since he's been out on his own.....beyond Dire Straits. Keeps me coming back all the time.

L'envolée lirique finale, est époustouflante..you are the BEST musician MARK ✌✌🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇵🇹

174 thumbs down. How can this be I ask? Marks music reaches down into your soul. And creates kindness and LOVE.

The most beautiful guitar for the best guitar player!

A Masterpiece, plain and simple.

kocham go najcudowniejsza gitara na swiecie myslalam ze bedzie w polsce slucham go jak mialam trzynascie lat kocham

Probably this is the most divine version of Telegraph Road... what remains is that schools of music must include this performance into their study books... its' not only the guitar playing, listen to the piano, the drum, percussion, everything there is simply divine. All sounds coming out from the instruments, take you to somewhere you've never been before... a million thanks to Mark and his brilliant band....

Knopfler is special, he adds laid back vocals to beautiful guitar work, its captivating.

May like it or not, but Mark Knopfler is one of, or is the best Guitar Players in the world

One of the best songs ever written, how come we never get tired of listening to mark knopfler songs

Fabuleux solo à 9mn 28 .... a fort pouvoir évocateur comme toujours

I've been listening to many Knopfler shows, i think Cordoba 2010 is one of the greatest.

I remember after Jerry died, the brutal gaping wound that some of us thought could somehow be healed by the rest of the band carrying on with another brilliant guitarist in Jerry's place. This was before all the versions of the dead, dead and company etc etc that were to follow. I remember the top contender amongst plenty of us at the time was Mark Knopfler - not that he would have wanted/ taken the gig - but he has that same special kind of touch. We are lucky to have been born at this time in history - such treasures we have found.

Pure fuckin class !! what a guitar picker!!

What a beautiful take! The sound is so clear! Thanks!!

Maybe my favorite version of TR Mark is like fine wine he just gets better with age. Great stuff many thanks!

От прекрасного человека прекрасное звучание

UNREAL, UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE. MARK KNOPFLER IS THE REAL GUITAR GOD & GUITAR HERO

excellent xx

La mejor canción de la historia, y del hp mundo

What i meant was, he just keeps getting better and better and better and bet...

el mejor guitaristi del seculo 20!!!

Que gran video, que gran músico,simplemente MARK KNOPFLER

mark , génial comme dab, et danny cummings, sobre et terriblement efficace. super batteur

Excelente presentación de MK !!! muy buen sonido y canciones

Tuve la suerte de estsr en este concierto, y aun se me ponen los pelos de punta. Impresionante.

Impresionante. Yo estuve allí, en el ruedo, muy cerca del escenario. Vaya sonido del 10, hombre... Gracias por el aporte.

one of my all time guitar-hero's. fabilous playing like always. truley a legend.

I am surprised how great musicians can play such energetic songs (especially the solo in the end) without much movement and sitting still. must have been really hard but he makes it look effortless...This is what greatness is all about..Thanks mark for making my life better😊

One of his best performance for the past 5 years. Simply awesome Guitar playing. Bravo Mr Mark Knopfler and bravo to his amazing Musicians!!! This song is a gem!!

This guy is a legend, he can't even stand up with his guitar anymore, he has to sit down. But HE IS HERE SINGING and playing in pain obviously but here he is doing it so everyone can enjoy his music. This man is what music is all about.

either sublime the genius and this audience - blessed night in Cordoba

Awesome!! just a fantastic musician...lost for words!..

No other comment expresses this better then Ben Ford's, simply another excellent performance!

The line I like best in this is "Then there was a hard time, then there was a war", and in 11 words Mark has summed up the depression of the 1930s and World War 2. This is a subtle, emotional history of the founding, the rise and the post-industrial fall of the American mid-west in a little over 10 minutes. Just brilliant.
