We don't see Mark in this clip often, but we HEAR him clearly 😂😘

Fantastic version. My girlfriend Michelle loved this song/version. We used to listen to it often. R.I.P. I miss her so much....

In 1988 I was jogging to this preparing myself for entry into basic training in Army, this song gave me the extra energy to get it 👍 done

Both guitars melt into one song...but you can definitely hear that most of this instrumentally above the rhythm... is Knopfler.

love it, you can so clearly hear Mark's guitar style adding such a unique touch to this song.

Best version of this song ever played.

Eric Clapton as usual has been great, but I think for Mark knopfler everywhere and who he plays with he is great too, and particularly in this video is doing a duo with a great like Eric Clapton. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤👍👍👍👍

Their different guitar styles perfectly compliment each other and that's what its all about. Enjoy listening to them together.

The Switzerland version is unparalleled... I can listen to 50 versions and still the upbeat one from that one kills them all

So freaking awesome to see Mark and Eric playing together... Watching a dream, LOVE IT

This song sounds soooooooooooooo much better when Clapton plays it in this tempo! Definitely a J. J. Cale classic!

Stellar version! Two masters at their craft. ❤❤. And let's give some recognition to the two ladies singin background. They are great!💐💐💐🌹🌹

I saw this tour, a month after I got married, in Denver. Amazing! The encour of Sunshine of Your Love and Money For Nothing, was the best! Great memories

Wonderful! I was at that show - right in the very front and it was great. Actually, I did not remember Mark coming on stage, but the concert was a blast!

love it, great Live version of After Midnight with 2 of the greatest guitarists cheers

I'm not in San Francisco only in Spain but i love this guitar monsters!Greatings to everybody!

Always a favorite...this guy can jam!!!

The two great men of guitars

Marky plays some killer lead fills during 3rd and 4th verse...

Yeh! Me too.! Ilike it!!!!!!!!!! Thank You to all who post these videos.

Beautiful music!

I think I like this version better than the original. Great electric guitar touch from Mark!

Excellent! Thanks for the upload. Hard to believe that this is already 21 years old. Wow!

Pure class !

esta bueniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisimo gracias por subir este clasico

doesnt get any better! period!

Best version ever.

Luv the concert videos

perfect cool rock to just chill the fuck out to while smoking up

one of the best versions

Awesome!

The GOAT OF CLAPTON

❤ i wish Mark and Eric would play together again like Crossroads festival❤❤❤❤ Forever Fan

My opinion, but I like Mark Knopfler's style much better than Clapton's. They both are fantastic guitarists. Thanks for posting!

Great show! I was in the audience that night…..

Happy birthday my love😊🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

this is class

The 80s had even Clapton playing a Soldano with chorus!

Clapton is God!

You can see clapton high & serious Pure love for the god

Love It ~ Oh you know it!

Thanks for posting this footage. This is no doubt one of the best live Clapton performances I've ever heard/seen. I remember seeing the Michelob commercials which featured this song and I think any true Clapton fan would agree this version is way better than that featured on the Timepieces CD. Knopfler's fills and the background singers are killer!! Any one know if this footage is available for sale?

saw them in Hamilton On. later that year, super show

Love that Eric and Mark kill it, glad Mark is getting more of the respect he deserves. But the Jerry Garcia Band version off "Don't Let Go" is even better (funky)....Donna Jean gets down...What is all about

Love the.late 80s'

Agree with you - thanks JJ and RIP

man this is such a badass version! I Love it and my ears can't get enough of it! Far better than both his and cale's originals:))

awesome

@javier colero - it's not a flanger, it's a chorus pedal. You know, one of the first big guitar FX of the 80's made into a stompbox. And, it's no mystery that Clapton was a fan of them (they're all over his music from this period, this recording included). People may not like the sound but when they hear the TONE, they know it's CLAPTON.

Mark's a class act

Guess I’ll have to take your word Mark Knopfler is there too 😅👀🤷🏻‍♂️

This guys play toooooooooo muuuuuuuuuchhhhh! Be on top ten guitar players certainly!

Happy New Year 2014 rock out 13

beautiful J J Cale song !!

👍🎶🎼🎸 Belle alchimie 2 grosses pointures que J'ADORE.❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹

Like Layla, I like his slower version of this song

You are the love of my life!

❤

@gobbenatoren He Retired "Blackie" (His Strat that his signature model guitar is based off of) in the 1980's because if severe neck and fret wear. so he and Fender, designed the signature model strat he plays here. I had the great pleasure of playing not only the signature guitar, but ALSO the exact replica of the "blackie" strat. both of which, play like a dream.

E looks like he's so tired of playing this one. However, Mark be boppin around makes it all worth it. Good schtuff lads.

My favorite guitarists. Tribute to JJ Cale.

@TheLyonhard Clapton got his own signature stratocaster, I guess thats what he is playing.

at the end of this video you can see mark grew up with an acoustic guitar, eric clapton with electric

Mountain View is an hour south and 2 counties removed from San Francisco. It’s actually near San Jose.

Why no solos for the Knopf?

So hard to find tabs for the slower version. It's definitely the better version though in my book.

thank's jj

I prefer the 89 version. Knopfler does the first solo and Clapton the second. Listen to the Twelfth night and you'll find it.

If they would make a movie about Clapton, Hugh Laurie should play Clapton.

Michelob version with the pipe organ rocks

Mark was really having some rest with Clapton ... Rest from the Brother in arms tour.

@TheLyonhard I guess it's his Blackie. He made it from parts of three guitars I think. Check on Wikipedia.

That's just a terminally cool MF!!

agree with the comment a few below - the JJ/Clapton version at Crossroads is more to my taste...but hell, I'm just an EC fan. he can do whatever he likes!

Does someone know why this version is not available on Amazon Prime Music? I have this version on my computer as an mp3 file. I wish Amazon had it because I have a playlist of my favorite Clapton songs and I would very much like to include this version in that playlist. Any help out there please and thank you.

@BluesMan88 yeah guessed he retired blackie around that time. You got to play one of those? thats pretty cool, Ive only played cheap fender knockoffs.

Juste : GENIAL, PARFAIT, BANDANT( pardon aux prudes!) J.J. Cale was the best!!!!! the others too.. Lemmy, Jimmy, Janis ... and so on...♥

me gusta más la versión rápida del album "Just One Night"... pero que la descose la descose el ericcccc, picante como pocos el picante ericcc

Anyone got tabs for the outro solo? It's so frikkin sweet, sends chills down my spine every time he makes that strat howl that first bend. Can't figure it out by ear. I mean, its Clapton.

doll

@gobbenatoren The replica was such a dream to play. believe it or not i made a strat very similar to blackie. did it the minute i got home. sounds pretty close but i was playing through a fender amp.

@gobbenatoren Thanks :D

does mark knopler look cool or what!!!

the blues jeans san-fransico in the one position vévèlte standart ?to go two two togever. spin ?

@Berlusfan Not true. Mark got his first guitar at the age of 15, it was an electric. The guitar was a red Hofner strat copy and he learned his chops on it. Mark couldnt afford an amp after his dad bought him the strat so he continued playing with it while resting his head on the electric guitar so he could hear it. Later he would borrow friends acoustic guitar's and play in folk joints.

do they ever show mark?

the Backup singers are Tessa Niles (blond) and Katie Kisson (who can sing as well as Tina Turner - I heard her do 'Tearin Us Apart' with Clapton at one concert, and it sounded like a very bluesy Tina - awesome) - these gals have been around as long as Betty White and I swear one day Clapton will do a live concert, and will wheel these gals in wheelchairs in from the Seniors' Home! (--:

Yeah true but this will happen. There have been a few times where Knopfler has asked Clapton to just play a simple rythem. Sultan's of swing and money for nothing I think. But you make a good point.

You've got Mark Knopfler on 2nd guitar but no solo? Eric solos twice and about 8 repeats of the chorus? Sheesh, what a shame....Mark is infinitely more interesting than almost any guitarist in the game today.

Trouble about some of the cameraman is they don't know where to aim their camera.... clearly Mark Knopfler was working there but he was giving a little attention. Maybe this was Eric's show but the cameramen need to wise up and realize they are recording history😢

JJ Cale!

You can't be sitting still when hearing this. If your foot is not moving with the beat, see a doctor.

its a fender stratocaster i believe

can someone tell me what key the bass would be in? thanks

Cool stuff but ol'' JJ Cale shoud've been there as well ...

Jody Linscott was on persussion...

I mean he is almost not shown in the video (sorry, bad english)

blonde and ebony girl....i like the song AND TWO CHICKS TOO...HA HA HA i like blonde/ebony combination after midnight

@yahweh18 100000 million times better than the original,, its my all time fav !!!!!!

Can anyone tell me which guitar does Eric play in this vid?
