It's literally the only 15 minute song ever written which I still think is too short. Absolute genius.

Telegraph road. In my humbled opinion one of the greatest rock songs ever composed. Thank you MARK!

absolutely incredible performance

I agree

Killer drumming by Terry Williams 🥁

The best guitar player ever, the best band ever, the best music ever! This will live on forever I personally will take care of that!

Alan Clark is DEFINITELY one of the most underrated keyboard players ever. What a FANTASTIC piano part - and everybody just talks about the lead guitar, because it's so terrific, too...

I had the "Alchemy live" tape in my walkman almost permanently when I was twelve!!

An example of the truly great music 'from the past' though, to me, it still sounds fabulous--a thousand times better than what passes for music today. Really!

Hear that rhytm, hear that arrangement, hear that sound, That's real music!

One of the tightest bands every to grace the planet :)

Sublime !!!!!

the greatest solo ever

My number one song of all time!

Best song ever period!! It's a story, a piano solo.. a guitar solo.. and a mighty drum roll. Genius.

breath-taking version of incredible musicians! An absolute highlight of rock Music.

Just FUCKING great song. What an amazing guitarist Mark is !!!

Knopfler is so brilliant-- lots of subtle stuff in his songs one may not immediately notice. Since I never tire of listening to DS, however, I eventually catch some of them.

This gig was in 84 but message in this song is more present than ever! It describes perfectly what we've become and specially what we're feeling with the debt crisis here in Portugal and probably a little all over Europe... just wish we (our "wasted" generation) could make it our anthem to help us stand up for our rights!

Perfect !!! No one can create a story within a song like dire straits ✌️

Perfekt ❤❤❤

Nice to hear and see the original Dire Straits in concert doing exactly what brought them such fantastic acclaim in the early days. Mark, John on bass, brother David rhythm guitar and Pick on drums.....nice!

One great song from one great album!

Was at Hammersmith Odeon when this was recorded.. ALCHEMY...👌 UNFORGETTABLE.. Mr magical fingers. Like mature wine . Gets better with age. 👌

Guitar playing at it's finest

what A intense performance,with Mark's guitar...brilliant musicians! Thanks for sharing this classic!

First heard Dire Straits in the late 70's on the radio, playing Sultan of Swing. My first reaction was who the hell is playing the Guitar, when the DJ said who it was I had no option to go out and buy their CD. Since then bout all their CD's and Videos. Seen them live on several occasions, 1985 took my 12 year Son to one of their concerts, he like me has been a big fan.

Stupendously good

+asad mohammed When I first discovered MK i realized, that he was indeed something special. I was just starting to learn the guitar. Now a few years later, im even more blown away. I think that means something.

Very nice mark hnofleur votre 🎸 et chant

Absolute masterpiece, this quality has no equal. ❤ pure merveille ❤

The album mix is very interesting to listen to in a recording studio on proper monitors. The mix is sweet and there are lots of details that you don't normally hear. One of my favorite songs ever!!!

bons tempos!

Sensational....! The man knows how to play. One of the best ever.

Un impronta unica nel suo modo di suonare la chitarra

Una obra maestra llena de solistas. Difícil encontrar algo que lo iguale!!

פשוט מופת💖💖💖

That text... that music... i love this song

Браво, Марк!

ultra wonderful moments that never happen the same again ... thanks heavens for video recordings! :) these guys were / are rock and roll ...

Fantastic !!!!

So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤👍

This is so amazing!

thanks volvo..amazing and agree with kingeric you've got taste and yeah you never get too old for this song and am 60!!!

Goin to see him on sat my first ever concert first ever rockstar and that's too the best guitarist in the world ......what a musical mind he has got

Tres belle chanson d un grand artiste

Con este disco descubrí a Dire Straits, y este tema sobretodo me partió la cabeza

one of the best selling rock bands of 80's and yet their songmaking skills were far from simple shit rock serves us today.

someone once said i had cloth ears to listen to these boys, well he was a real knob.

AMAZING AT THE END

exceptional......!!!!!

GRAZIE...

Its kinda fun to watch this and then watch a current version of the song, the life, excitement and energy have changed yet are definately still there a much more mature, confident feel. both are great, just different

Amazing power!

how appropite in these times it rings abell

That +/- 5minute solo at the end of the full length version...... Faaaaak!! I close the door, crank up the volume...and air guitar so bad that my eyes start to water xD for real!! Knopfler manages to tell a story with the way he plays guitar, especially in his new music! He has epic amounts of emotion and soul... no one can make a guitar sound the way he does! Just wish I was one of the lucky few to have seen the Alchemy live tour!! Only seen Mark Knopfler live in SouthAfrica once

fantastic live. Thank yor, sir.

It's timeless. Refers to all such tyrants and oppressors who seek to keep people down and which we don't need. I agree with you alabhaois :) The era it comes from was of the 'Iron Maiden' and her US movie star president. Created havoc here and they are at it again with her prodigy David Cameron :(

Awesome

I grew up a quarter mile off of Telegraph road :) Cool song

...świetny numer, szczególnie końcówka...na odlocie...:-))
