Stefano...We need a damn good lawyer to Force u tube to NOT INTERUPT A work of Art ...which this is!!!*

Exactly . indicted , convicted and incinerated .

Do you live in Australia? The ads ruin every TV show. I have stopped watching free to air because I am sick of the ads.

This is undoubtedly the best live version of Sultans, it's always good live, but this is just the pinnacle. I love the line about Guitar George not wanting to make the guitar cry and scream which is exactly what Mark is doing. Drummer, Keyboard and Sax all brilliant and Clapton just quietly strumming away as if he was sitting at home by the fire. A true work of art/genius and yes the adverts interrupting it are criminal. Lucky enough to see Mark live I think in 2018 or 2019, can't remember now, but he was fantastic.

@@martinharvey2390 Have you never seen the alchemy version?

Eric was strictly rhythm, Mark was the one that made it cry or sing.

Io non amo mano lenta non mi piace non.e paragonabile minimamente a Marc. La stampa può scrivere quello che le pare ma la realtà e un'altra.

And you know it when Eric is 100% ok with it. A lot of respect between those 2 gentlemen for sure.

yeah, always singin it slightly different makes it everytime unique 👍

Son especiales..!!!

Pues eso es lo que le hace único!!! Por eso es diferente y único!!

Así es!

What year was it? Can't find it

@@goncalofreitas2094 1988

Lucky you!!

Lucky man!

Where was this?

If only Tom Petty joined in it would be even better.

Let's not forget Chris White on the saxophone.

Clapton didn't do much, even i can play the chords he's playing lol

Tom Petty and Gary Moore

@@myxanoz9742 Yeah lets forget White, White is shite, no Sax in a rock band thank you.

Why does mark always look so bored.

@@harrysachs2274 he's concentrating

@@harrysachs2274 he doesn’t look bored at all though

@@harrysachs2274 Because he knows all the chords

I think the closest we have is John Mayer. He’s no Clapton or knopfler, but a guitar virtuoso in his own right

If you are Mark Knopfler you are cool enough to have Eric Clapton to support you with his guitar.

Que npasa contigo

The sky is the limit

Believe or not, I think Clapton was a last minute stand in because the regular rhythm player's wife had just had a baby.

Yes, we sure did!

I was 28 or 29!

Yup. And there are more if you can find them, Stairway to Heaven et all. Just look and you will find them This is one of the best

Yes it is. One very underrated guitar riff is the intro to Back on the Chain Gang.

As a live performance. Best song in my book.

Amazing guitarist & composer! Up there with the best

Great...The 'est ever' is a stretch, no? Great though and a true pro for just playing as a support to mark

Lots better players than Clapton. Prince, Richards, Knopfler, Glen Campbell, Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, just the first six off the top of my head.

@@farmerbill6855 Better? All great but better? Subjective list. Just like guy saying EC is the greatest is subjective. I appreciate them all and many others. No greatest.

@@farmerbill6855 Hendrix. Peter Green

When Mark Knopfler is playing the Guitar you know it's HIM Original Sound. BEAUTIFUL

Yeah, and they make their guitars cry AND sing

Especially that guest rhythm guitarist. All he's playing are chords!

Bravo pour le grand guitariste que j'ai aimé depuis l âge de l enfance je vous le jure.

@@peterlawrence6079 Ha ha ha!!

Lol😅😅

mostly finger picken; as with most his songs.

There is faster guitar players but they don't make the same sense as what knopfler does they're just an absolute noisey made up mess of chords with no direction at all, knopfler is genius

He makes the music dance

This is what Mark is ALSO known for perfection from the band. That's why Dylan used him with The Band .

Lucky you !

And the sax part is mind boggling

did you heared/seen the Live aid version? spoiler... it's Legendary

@@angelchavez8814 Alchemy?

Alchemy version is the best

@@sofianeofficial I don't know about "best" as it's a bit different from this one but the energy of the Alchemy one is insane (and Terry Williams on the drums was maybe even more on fire then!)

Alchemy Live version light years better.

Alchemy version >>

Wembley 1985

Of course not, Sultans of swing has to be played with a stratocaster like guitar. The Pensa is less fluid.

i agree its like a drug for him

Awesome! For me his music appreciation part is at 8:26

one of the best. I played sax an this guy is good. Not a Harvey Muncen, but good

...he's the vocalist too.

DO NOT FORGET THIS GREAT DRUMMER..

@@michaelcelani8325 all of the above brother!

Yess dialoga con su guitarra. Es un placer escucharlo.

He makes his guitar cry and sing 😜

Friends...

he played rhythm fantastic, and added new flavor to this song

How did you feel about the Commercial at the end?????

for real though! they'll never be beaten

That's not true. They're getting better in some ways. The difference is you're not as likely to hear them because that's not what dominates. Just have to dig a little more.

Yeah in your head

2 of the greatest@@mikereed8181

Boa Roberto!!!!! Eles tocavam sempre juntos fora de suas turnês!!!!! Os meus preferidos também!!!! Os outros, são guitarristas de rock!!! Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour e Andrew Latimer, são guitarristas de música!!!! Tem uma grande diferença!!!!🎸

@@alexandredasilvafurtado7846 verdade Alexandre! Existem guitarristas e "guitarreiros ". Eu prefiro esses guitarristas de verdade. 😁

@@robertofaustinohibener842 🎸

ya what he said :)

Maybe you don't understand what "underrated" means?

he is definitely no overlooked, many thinks he is one of best guitarists, but also he is even better song writer
