That opening guitar riff is one of the most recognizable, and yet one of the most intricately difficult in all of rock history. 99% of the people who attempt to cover it on KZread or at a little concert do it wrong.

Whoever you are,,when you say “ Nothing “ do you mean that there’s nothing special about it ? Are you a musician?? Or are you So f-cking fantastic that it’s easy for you?? Do you just not talk music With non-musicians, or “girls “???? ( I’ve probably spent many more years around music in my life than you) but that’s not important. It’s Been awhile or I’d ask a friendly Face. It’s been awhile also since I worked in the industry, with Ruffino-Vaughn Productions out Of NY , Though your apparent attitude is not that surprising it is annoying….. Or I could be wrong and you’ve only text one word replies.But Reply you did…. Maybe a friendlier musician or Music fan can offer a more detailed explanation And/Or opinion . Several guitar players and drummers here expressed opinions reflecting on how unusual or difficult the intro

Just an incredibly understated, overlooked musician. He is in a class of guitar players who just don't play they make their guitar speak, Slowhand, Beck, Page, Young, Gilmor, Prince. Even if I don't care for a song, I can isolate their guitar and it's all good.

Knopfler knows how to summon the gods of old in the way that only great rock guitarists can.

Very interesting to see and hear Mark play a Steinberger. Doesn't matter what he's playing it still sounds like Mark. It's all in the fingers!!!

I saw Mark at The Chicago Theater in 2009 or so - 5th row. I didn't mind paying over $700 for a pair of tickets in that venue. The crowd loved him, of course, and he kept saying "You're very sweet."

Some say thats allot of cash, because it is a lot of cash, the promoters are giving it to both us and the artist. I admire you for putting your passion above cost. Basic needs aside extra money goes to conveniences and not basic needs. I have about 25 years left giving the average lifespan. It doesn't make sense to leave anything in the garage. I say run the tires off it and invest in a memory., and pray like hell you don't have a stroke and lose your investments.

They are a miracle.

My turn up the volume song!!!

Watching it is so live in 2022😍😍😍

I still have this crystal clear on high quality VHS recorded on the night and high quality Maxel UD Open Reel and also on Maxell UD XLII Cassettes. It was a huge night for us bootleggers.

It doesn't get any better!

Apart from Phil Collins I have never noticed any drummer but Terry Williams has my full attention when he is on the drums he is amazing .

Great song 👌 & $ for Nothing

One of the best guitar riffs!!

Blizzard of oz followed by madman all the way to end of decade would also seem riff laced good example is bark at moon or course crazy train which possibly is as recognizable a riff ever created, i really don't know much of glam rock or pop but mabey that brand didn't rely on riffs actualy billy jean had an eddy van riff which also brings in all van halens 80s work , didn't Panama have a riff oh also all the staggering work from aerismith good example is when the lightning strikes or hangman jury or choose your favorite..
