Dire Straits is one of the best bands in history, for many the best

In my humble opinion it is the best band ever but of course there are others like Pink Floyd, REM, Springsteen and the E Street band,....truly amazing too.

I have been a Knopfler fan since “Sultans of Swing” came out and I almost pulled my car over on a Houston freeway when I first heard it. However, “Private Investigations” is my favorite Knopfler tune of the many he has brought us. I have a huge preference to songs in the minor keys, and that fits so perfectly in this song of introspection of a guy who does not particularly like what he finds within. Even the soprano sax, not a usual instrument in a Knopfler band, is perfect for the mood, which I have always likened to a Wagnerian one rather than reminding of Beethoven. Dark and brooding. I love it. Thanks for reviewing it.

Once again Mark Knopfler creates a wonderful soundscape. The finger picking is remarkable all backed by top class musicians. The thing with Knopfler and Dire Straits is the storytelling, vast styles of music and performance, all whipped up to create a symphony of art. That was Chris White playing the Clarinet. Killer!

Back when music still had some artistic merit! Dire Straits were one of the greatest bands ever, and Mark Knopfler one of the most unique Rock guitarists that ever existed. Unlike today, where guitarists basically sound the same, and Bands don't have a unique signature sound to them anymore. I saw DS live back in the 80ies, I still remember it like it was yesterday!

@gunnarkstad8365 Жыл бұрын

I think you found a way to say what I haven't been able to, making Alan Clark on keyboards a part of the group was like adding Beethoven to something that was already close to perfection with MK carrying it all. They had the best drummer too in Terry Williams. Isn't it strange that they always sound better live than in studio?

@StevenQ74 Жыл бұрын

That was a soprano saxophone, the percussion sound is a marimba, on the album version it was a real marimba but here it's a synth version and this live version also had Paul Franklin on the pedal steel.

I like that you picked up on the vocal delivery. Knofler is matching the melancholy tune with a film noir narration style - brilliant. Should probably be filmed in black and white, in the rain, in a back ally, in Chicago, watching cheating lovers across the street through a window.

2024. Saw them live 3 times in the 80’s absolutely flawless. Live performances were like classical symphonies. Knopler is a poet guitarist. He’s written some classic lyrical stories. His guitar work gets the attention but his lyrics are outstanding poetical ballets.

Try Mark Knopfler solo also, such a large body of work and as good as you'd expect. Also The Notting Hillbillies - Missing......Presumed Having A Good Time, with Chet Atkins - Neck And Neck, with Emmylou Harris - All The Roadrunning, playing guitar on Bob Dylan's - Slow Train, Infidels and some Basement Tapes plus collaborations with too many people to list. Then there's the movie soundtracks too.

If you like Dire Straits and haven't seen their performance at The Concert for Nelson Mandela in '88, I would strongly recommend it. Their rhythm guitarist's wife had just given birth to twins and couldn't be there, so they had to have someone else fill in at a pinch. As Mark put it, he hasn't played at Wembley before, but he has played... Eric Clapton.

Nick Mason (drummer of Pink Floyd) is out there touring and performing early Pink Floyd. His bassist is Guy Pratt (bassist for Pink Floyd after Roger left). His band is named Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. I went to their concert last October here in the Detroit area and it was worth every single penny of the nearly $200 I threw down to sit 5th row, center. The song you need to review, whether just for yourself or for your channel, is "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun." Make sure you get the official video asNick allows anyone and every one to film to their hearts content at their shows, so I do not think there is any copyright infringement using the official video. Roger Waters has come out and publically stated that Nick's new band plays the song so much better than Pink Floyd ever did back in the day. It is a true "trip" back to the height on psychodelic rock...

Hi love your channel. I think you'll really like Calling Elvis from the same concert. It has so many little surprises especially towards the end. Also recommend Heavy Fuel and The Bug from this concert. And from Alchemy Live a song called Once Upon A Time In The West is so cool. Cheers All the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸

BTW you call yourself a musician but you don't recognise that thing that sounded like a saxophone? Seems like young folks have a drastic lack of general knowledge these days. This "thing" is indeed a Saxophone, a "Soprano Saxophone" to be precise. It's like hearing a double bass for the first time, and going like "it sounds like a bass. What is this thing?" Honestly, I'm puzzled how little younger generations know these days.

I'm a musician of the old school & most of us learned about other instruments as we progressed musically & started to compose. I was lucky enough to have classical training & if I hadn't been, would never have known what a clavier was ! Too many rely on tech, to get the sound they want at the touch of a button, so don't have much idea about the names of other instruments !

I was so inspired by this song, I wrote a poem parodying it, set in a garden, with characters named after plants and flowers. One of the villains was called Dan D. Lyon. I forget the detective's name. I called the poem Privet Investigations. 17:30
