"Sultans of Swing" is still among the all-time coolest songs ever! But what makes Dire Straits (and Mark Knopfler, especially), stand out is how they find such uniquely talented other musicians (in addition to their regular drummer) for, like, saxophone and piano. Regardless of who is among Dire Straits as a regular or "just tonight" as a guest during THIS performance, they always produce a sound that, to me, is just overwhelming. Still way high among my all-time favorites!!!

The Dire Straits channel has released some very old versions of Sultans recently, and that may be pushing traffic to yours. One was the original quartet, and a version very close to the original studio recording, albeit missing one verse. I’ve been binging on Sultans, so here I am. Great live version, deserving of the 1M views you’ve gotten.

Here's the thing, though: the guitar track on this tends to follow on close lines each time he plays it, subject to a bit of improvisation, but the sax player is interacting the call & response based on his feel of where to go with it. Knopfler's brilliant on this (as ever) but the sax player's phenomenal.

La migliore performance live dei Dire Straits e forse una delle migliori nel panorama musicale mondiale. 9 artisti sul palco e un Mark Knopfler nella grazia di DIO. Ebbi modo di vederli all'arena di Verona e conservo un ricordo meraviglioso. Oggi non ci sono più band di questo livello e la cosa che fa meraviglia è che nonostante l'età senile, l'artrite alle dita, la sciatalgia alla schiena, quando ancora si muovono questi mostri sacri, i palazzetti si riempiono di fan di tutte le generazioni, dai vecchietti come me ai bambini di 8 anni. Tutti disposti a perdonare qualche stecca, qualche passaggio a vuoto ma felici di vederli ancora una volta. Vale per Mark, per David Gilmour e per tutti colori che ci hanno fatto compagnia nella vita. Grazie Mark per tutto quello che ci hai donato.
