Today's reaction video, Drogbajr reacts to Dire Straits Sultans Of Swing reaction alchemy live. Dire Straits were a British rock band formed in London in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (lead vocals and lead guitar), David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and backing vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Pick Withers (drums and percussion). They were active from 1977 to 1988 and again from 1990 to 1995. Their first single, "Sultans of Swing", from their 1978 self-titled debut album, reached the top ten in the UK and US charts. Let me know what other Dire Straits songs I should check out next. The most like comment I will do a Dire Straits reaction video.

According to Mark Knopfler the guy on lead guitar this is a true story. One evening he walked into a pub in London and a pretty mediocre band were playing and they called themselves the Sultans of Swing. This is the story. All those things going through your head meant something different when this song was penned.

@@ImFrancis325 You get a shiver in the dark It's a raining in the park but meantime- South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie, double four time You feel alright when you hear the music ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south London town You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing They said an old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the Honky Tonk like anything Savin' it up, for Friday night With the Sultans We're the Sultans of Swing There’s a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best baggies and their best Kings road They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call Rock and Roll And the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing"

Honky-tonk is a bar that provides mainly country music to its patrons. Honky tonk is also a style of music played in such establishments. It can also refer to the type of piano known as tack piano used to play such music. Many big names began their careers as amateur musicians in honky-tonks as it is easier to enter but with some symbolic small pay.

Terry Williams on the drums just nailed this from the start and held the tempo - there is a point when Mark looks at him in the video checking if he was OK to go for the solo - they gave him some breaks in between and now legendary

Also - I think I know why the crowd wasn't going wild. I was a pretty typical Dire Straits fan back in the day so I think it's safe to say the audience were stoned out of their minds, too mellowed out to go wild, just vibin; and feelin' the music. I know I would have been that way at that show :-)

A couple of things for you as a first time viewer to your channel. First, I would suggest going to Google and researching the song you are going to react to prior to listening to the song and reacting to it, that way you understand a little bit of the history and meaning of the song before listening. Secondly, and probably the most important thing as you continue to build your channel, I would highly recommend that you do not pause the video so frequently during your reactions! This is especially true when you have an artist like Mark Knopfler in the middle of a guitar feature like you did at the end. Finally, the band is named Dire Straits, like the word straight, as in a straight line, or actually in the context of the band name, the term dire straits means to be in a very bad predicament or situation. After saying all of that, you picked a great song to react to and I will certainly be checking out more of you videos in the future. Best of luck, God Bless

I love that you went straight to the legendary Alchemy Live performance of this great song, but I do recommend listening to the studio version as well. It's not as epic, though it's still great. But the main difference is that you can better understand the lyrics and the story that's being told. If you'd like to know about the history of this song and the band, I recommend Professor of Rock's great video, "The AMUSING Inspriation Behind Dire Straits CLASSIC 70s Hit". Thanks for the fun reaction. Glad you had such a good time listening to this. In case you were wondering who's who, Mark Knopfler is the one killing it on Lead Guitar, Terry Williams (who replaced original band member Pick Withers for this performance) is the one going absolutely crazy on the drums, John Illsley is the excellent bassist you pointed out (other than Knopfler, the only original band member playing here), Hal Lindes (replacing original member David Knopfler, Mark's younger brother) is guitar and backup vocals, and Alan Clark (not an original band member, but close to it) is on keyboard.

His singing is very reminiscent of Bob Dylan, ,that kind of talking/singing. And the band is phenomenal. I thik I read the "George with all those fancy chords" is the singer's brother. A honkytonk is both a bar that provides country music for its customers and that style of music. It can also refer to the type of piano used to play such music.

13: 40 No! It's not the tempo that's changed, it's the dynamics that have changed! It goes quieter, not slower. So many people nowadays do not recognise the difference because all music now has no dynamics. I am not dissing you but I am trying to educate you (as a piano teacher myself). I love the video, but more people should recognise the difference between tempo and dynamics, it's a big deal. PS also Chelsea follower.

Honky Tonk is a hole-in-the-wall bar. Not typically a place as a musician where you are going to become famous. It can also refer to a type of music and or general feeling of a place or person. Typically kinda laid back and funky.
