Chet Atkins would have turned 100 years today 20 June 2024. Salute you sir, what a true legend. I am 60 years old and enjoy listening from down south in Africa. One word of advise, be grateful if you are happy within you skin. Discovered him way too late in my life.

Listening from Norway. I also discovered Chet Adkins recently even if his name was familiar to me. I'm 50.

Mark Knopfler looks at Chet Atkins like a kid would look at Santa. The admiration and appreciation is obvious. Even though Knopfler has carved out his own niche in the music world, it's still humbling and nice to see such respect for one of his icons and guitar heroes. A beautiful song made even more so by the vocal brilliance of the Everly brothers, Mark wrote it but the EBs took it a level higher.

Mark has zero ego. You would never guess he wrote this masterpiece and his original version is over 8 minutes long. He just enjoys the company of fellow musicians and appreciates each one's talent: you can see it in his face. The Everly Brothers influenced his own music and he and Chet were close friends. Wonderful video.

We don't have to oversell Knopfler. He is a fabulous artist and does subordinate his play in service to the song, but he is a human being, just like the rest of us. Also, you need to have some ego to be healthy; you just want balance. From what I see, he has a love of music that has no bounds and has dedicated his life to it. He is amazing to watch as he practices his craft and reveals it to an audience...

The Brothers were at loggerheads with each other but kept it professional at performances. Mark and Chet gave each other a knowing look. The magic was working. Don and Phil turned to each other, and in that look said, "I love you brother". Mark and Chet, in that moment smiled at each other knowingly, for a moment, the rift was gone. Pure alchemy, pure gold.

I love mark's voice and his performance of this song is fantastic. But I gotta say the everleys lifted it above and beyond.

Great version of this song by the brothers, you can see how much it means to Knopfler playing this song with them. They will be sadly missed by everybody. This song really suits their vocals.

Listening to them brings me to tears; now they are both gone. This was wonderful....with Chet and Mark....and even Michael Mc Donald on keyboard.

I've watched this on and off for years and tonight I've just spotted Michael Mcdonald on the keyboard!

Just watch Chet's face, if the number one Certified Guitar Player was happy, it was all going just as it should, and it's for sure that everyone on stage for that session won themselves a place in musical history over and above their previous triumphs.

In 1958 when the Everly's released All I Have to do is Dream, I thought it was one of the most beautiful songs I'd ever heard••••• and I was only 10 years old. I didn't even know what you called it then but I somehow recognized at the age of 10-- as a non-musician-- that their voices melded together like no others. I can't believe at the time of this recording that you're listening to, that those two Brothers still had the ability to harmonize in such a beautiful weaving together of their voices. They still had it! Despite all the years of discord between the two of them. As an old man of 75, it almost seems like they are a Channel for Beauty coming from somewhere on high.

I saw the Everly Brothers back in the 60's here in Johannesburg. What a show, what talent, most of all, what harmonies. One of the best shows I have witnessed.

Gotta agree with you on this. Mark Knopfler's main talent is obviously not his singing, so to have the best harmonising brothers in the world do your song, well, that's an honour. It knocks spots off the original Dire Straits version (I think even he'd admit that)

Rest in peace, Don Everly. Thanks for the music and sweet harmony!

The Everley Boys had an amazingly long run from the 1950s to the early 21st century, as did Chet. So fine to see them together in something that we can enjoy for years to come, thanks to great recorded concerts like this one and youtube.
