My 48th birthday, 10 minutes from my home in Shepherds Bush. I was third row on the floor directly in front of Knopfler. I joked to friends on Expecting Rain about Dylan playing Forever Young for my birthday. When I heard the opening notes I wept. Best Birthday Ever.

Mark did his absolute best there, " may your song forever be sung"

They both can rest assured that their songs will always be sung as long as anyone performs on a stage... long live live music!

When two legends come together their music becomes eternal and epic!!! Thanks for this moment, Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler!!!

Those tasteful riffs from Mark...just wow!

I was right down there at the front about where MK was, a wonderful unforgettable evening and this finale so emotional! Perhaps you can see my arms waving around there, I’m not sure as I am only 5ft 2!

About Mark Knopfler I've written this before, but I make a point of reproducing my definition about the " Guitar Wizard, who I consider a genius and a complete artist. By seeing and listening to his performances, compositions and his performance on stage, we can perfectly identify his exceptional and unparalleled gifts and talents. The artist was notable for sound effects with special technical expertise, as a guitarist, composer and singer of greatest hits. By analogy, talking about his technical domain is equivalent to saying that he is the very personification of an entire symphony orchestra, reflected in the ability to harmonize, mobilize, coordinate and lead his band, by the way, formed by talented and multi-instrumentalists, who also perform , attracts and enchants crowds around the world. Undoubtedly, he is the greatest guitarist of all time and his guitar represents the extension of his body, his creative talent, his sensitivity and feelings, which can be recognized in the rhythms of various musical genres, already immortalized by several generations. His genius as instrumentalists, composer, singer, and diffuser of diverse genres, transition with great versatility from classical instrumental to country, from romantic to rock to pop dancing, etc. incomparably the greatest and the world's best representative of good music and a generation that gave rock and the Dire Straits style of being, which Mark Knopfler created and represents for the follow-up of music around the world.🎸❤️🎶🎵🎶😍

Oh my - THIS brings back SO many memories from my past AND present! Being 70ish now, I grew up listening to ALL of Dylan’s music. I realize that he’s aged a lot, and has basically lost his voice completely in this duet. But I do give him 👍 credit for performing in spite of it. It’s sad 😔 to me in a way, having ‘known’ Dylan and his music for more than 55 years. Now I’ve been listening to Mark since I 1st heard him in ‘15 as a soloist with ‘Are We in Trouble Now’. That was a song sent to me on a CD by a man I met, and spent time with every day for 3 weeks while I was on a 3 + month long world 🌍 cruise. He sent it to express how he felt about me/us, and the lyrics said it all - 100%! Living in different countries, we had a “long distance’ relationship, getting together in person whenever and wherever we could. In between, we exchanged emails on daily, and had weekly video chats. Sadly, he passed away 3 yrs later. Anyway, Mark’s music - esp his lyrics, continue to be just as meaningful now as they did in the 1st song. He brings back both some sad 😢, bittersweet, memories AND good 😊 ones now too! *** Sorry for posting my very long ‘true life story’ here! I doubt anyone’s interested enough to read it all!

I'm a Dylan fan since mid 60's but Mark Knopfler owned this.

Sublime! Two of my favorite artists in the whole world.. So stirring.....

Brilliant rendition of a truly timeless song. Yes you are both Forever Young

❤️ thank you Mark Knopfler n Bob Dylan forever Young ❤️

LOVE Mark's nod to Bob. This song!❤

Two of my most favourite artistes on stage together 🥰

My God, it doesn't get any better than this, on this side! I AM over the moon!

Keeping Forever Young true to itself with this monumental version .... just awesome....

A great show of comradeship. Heart warming. Two great artists in harmony with each other. Nothing like it!

Forever young es un himno, escuchar y ver a estos dos grandes interpretala es un lujo, gracias señor Dylan y gracias señor Knopfler

Long, long, long life to this two great and beautiful souls.

Sentire Mark Knopfler che canta a Bob Dylan "may your song always be sung" chiude il cerchio di una vita.

I Love Both Of These Legends🎸🎶❤️

Oh, the tree of life is growing Where the spirit never dies And the bright light of salvation shines In dark and empty skies ㅡ Dylan, Death is not the end

Forever Young and forever fantastic - both of the them!

So awesome. Knopfler and Dylan.

this song, with these two giants sharing the stage, never fails to move me to tears, the admiration in all directions, awesome...

This totally brings me to tears…..how absolutely Gorgeous ❤️

Impossibile pensare questa canzone senza la voce e la chitarra di Mark. Wow, semplicemente fantastico.

i love the looks mr dylan gives his bandmates near the end of the harp solo

These two made magic together ❤️

Love it. My favorite artists on one stage. Thank you Mark and Bob. ❤

As many Bob Dylan fan's know, Mark Knopfler worked with Bob Dylan on two Superb albums. Slow train coming 1979 album and Infidels 1983 album.

Extraordinarily gifted artists!

Super cool to see these legends perform together ~ both are such talented musicians!

Absolutely Amazing to see Both Bob and Mark. That's the beauty of music in bringing TWO GREAT ARTISTS together. Music brings us together. Have a Peaceful night everyone.

Forever young., of course!

Melhor músico do planeta é MARK KNOPFLER. Simplesmente inesquecível 💃🎸🇧🇷♥️

More than 10 years later. They are forever young and definitely friends

Mark Knopfler plays guitar Bob Dylan plays everyone in the house ❤

So beautiful that I weep inside and out.

You know, Mark could have written this himself. No wonder it's so good with the two of them sharing vocals.

La calda voce di Mark, il tocco inconfondibile delle sue magiche mani sulla chitarra. ....cosa si può pretendere di più? Struggente!!!

10 years ago exactly from this epic performance. Will endure forever!

Yes, that gesture from Knopfler was beauty itself. Brought tears to my eyes.

Everyone on stage is so aware of one antother,, the focus on this very special moment is wonderful

Mark is incredible! What feel , timing, and space. God has gifted him...

M. Knopfler!! Un ídolo que sigo desde mis 16 años y no me cansaré de escucharlo, quizás no lo conoceré en persona jamás pero solo con el hecho de disfrutar de su talento y que su musica haya sido parte de mi juventud es sufuciente!! Genio de los Genios MK

Interesting to watch their dynamic. Dylan can be a little difficult to play with but Mark has both patience and confidence. A less confident vocalist would come in with "young" after Bob's "forever," but Knopfler doesn't just defer, sticking to "forever young." It's the little stuff, but so many moments of the little stuff in so many songs. Knopfler is just about unparalleled in fluidly navigating the instrumental spaces he's given. We made it another year with both of them. 😅❤

Mark, you have made this song forever and ever young.

Mark Knopfler is superb, as always. Dylan did a nice harp solo.

É um sonho ver meu 1° ídolo se apresentando com o meu ídolo há 40 anos, Mark Knopfler. É uma alegria e um privilégio vê-los juntos, essas duas estrelas maiores do rock de todos os tempos!!!! You two will be " Forever Young" !!! 🎩 🥂 cheers!!! 🌹❤️

I was there next to the stage, legendary performance ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐That's the A-Class! Best Liveversion of this Song I've ever heard and seen!

Sir Bob Dylan & Sir Mark Knopfler 👍🙏❤️

Just his solos make it worth it to listen to. As far as Dylan in last 25 years, I have seen hundreds of shows. Some great, some duds. But ALWAYS at every show at least once, bob will take you to another place. Nothing like him. Him at 1% is better than anything out there

What an unlikely pair of musicians together, AND how they managed to pull it off in this performance - imo at least they did! I’m a Baby Boomer going on 70 and grew up with ‘classic’ Dylan and his songs. Sadly, I only recently ‘discovered’ Knopfler as a ‘soloist’ in 2015, but have great respect for him both for his 👍 voice and guitar 🎸, in addition to what I feel are meaningful lyrics in many of his songs. Maybe I’m a minority in this case, as I’ve read some other comments that weren’t as positive like mine, but music in general is a personal choice and preference!

Tenho 62 anos , com 16 , comprei Disere e depois Hard Rain ao vivo, meus dicos preferidos de Dylan , ele e Mark com sua arte fizeram minha adolescencia e juventude mais feliz, vida longa aos dois.

Love Mark n Bobby zee. May we all stay forever young.

MK showing serious respect to Bob

❤❤Van telepatia! mindig szerettem volna ezt a két előadót együtt játszani!. Köszönöm!!❤❤❤😊😊

Played this with my 30 year old son Andy for my beloved Aunty Anne's 90th birthday last weekend. Cause Bob and Mark couldnt make it at last minute ha ha. I wasnt the only one crying just saying.

Love the Rickenbacker bass. Knopfler superb as always.

What a show! My God! Bob is a bandmaster too. We see him conduct her musicians during the show... Wonderful and Mark is a guitar show... Love his guitar.😄

Two greats together.
