What an epic performance. Dire Straits are my all time favourite band and apart from the original artists I cannot think of anyone else who could have pulled this off live. Total repect to the band.

Im gonna get some flak here but I’m just gonna say what I know in my heart to be true so here it is. I have seen Dire straits live do this song and this by far is better than what I saw them do. So there I’ve said it and i am a major M.K/Dire Straits fan.

I think it's that this band replicates the original versions of songs. Whereas when Dire Straits played it Live they didn't tend to do that. They lengthened it and maybe played the solo different to the studio album. A lot of bands tend to do that. A good example is Deep Purple on the Made In Japan Live album. They played tracks from the studio album Machine Head and played them slightly faster, gave them more energy and lengthened them. Personally, I think it's good that bands do that. If I want to hear the exact studio version I can stay at home and do that.

The bloke can play Hendrix like a carbon copy, goes along to play Comfortably Numb with the nuances and vibrato that sounds like Gilmour and finishes it by doing a very good job at Knopfler's right hand magic.
