Knopfler is truly one of the premier guitarists out there…such a sweet tone he conjures out of his instrument.

For 50 years, I lived in a world of Shangri-La with my Bonnie until she was called by the Almighty to transcend above the blue sky. She now in a better place. This song reminds me how beautiful our life were from the first moments of our union until it ended with COVID. Each time I hear this song it takes me back to memories of dancing with an angel of such beauty. I will always love her and one day I will dance with her in our own Shangri-La💞💞💞💞

I just found this song. It is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard! I’ve been listening to it on repeat. It warms my heart. Thank you to such talented people to share their gifts with us. This song is a blessing ❤️

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

Each musician plays his or her part to perfection. No ego, no pissing contest, no big loud solos or using 10 different notes between chord progression. Just sheer love, mutual respect and admiration for one another as they allow their music to do the talking (or singing). Simply superb. ✝️🙏👍♥️🤗✝️

There is so much cruelty, injustice and terror in the world we humans made. But also there is so much beauty! I am so thankful to be able to listen to such a divine music.

Mark's songs and Emmylou's songs have brought me so much happiness over the years - how wonderful to see them sing together - everyone in this band is magic.

Music that heals my soul in our tragic times as we try to survive. Thank you from Ukraine.

It’s not just Mark. This whole band is outstanding. They know exactly how to blend. Wonderful musicians.

Mark is 72 years old now and still going strong God bless him and keep him safe always ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What can you say, This is Magic.

I never get tired of listening to this, its absolute class!!

This music so great that i'm cant imagine. I'm Russian and i can say that - Music has no borders. This is my favorite singer. God, bless the world... I'm happy now, and i wish the listeners are too... Peace for all brothers and sisters!

Cold evening in Scotland in bed with a dram listening to the best band that ever played,this guys fingers work magic ,if he was a doctor there would be no more illnesses thank you mark from the bottom of my heart🙏🙏✊

My God! Heard this tonight on our woodland deck, overlooking the river, the music cascaded down throughout the river valley, I sobbed……. Absolutely beautiful ❤

Knopfler has one of the best ear/feel/understanding of and insight into arrangement of any modern composer. Bringing a violin in for this tune, CONCEIVING of how eloquently it would support then carry the melody, it's almost magical. He does this with so many of his songs. He paints them the way an old master painted their portraits.

The harmonious contrast between Knopfler's monotonic vocals and Emmylou's soft, melodic timbre is just awesome. Two legends come together to make something unique and unforgettable. Thank you both.

Talk about laid back. No effort, sheer talent, taking time to let music do the work. Goes down so well it can’t be picked up. Heavy on the soul. Stays there. Thank you.

I believe this Live Roadrunning series is the best all around music on the planet! Mark's superb guitar work is unsurpassed in my opinion. And of course the impeccible harmonies of Harris and Knopfler are outstanding. The other musucians that are involved in the project are outstanding as well. So much talent in one place! Worth listening to over and over again.

I have listened to it a thousand times and will forever, never getting old. It makes my heart feel joy and peace every time I listen. Thank you so much Mark and the whole team for such a beautiful song.

Mark really has no peers on guitar and he knows how to put together a band whose music blends in a magical manner. The result is the best live music I've seen and heard.

Danke, lieber Mark, du verbindest unsere Herzen. Grüße an alle, die das hören und lieben. Peace for the world. 💚

2022, and I've watched this video at least 50 times. I was there for this concert! Mark Knopfler has it all!,,

“….tonight your beauty burns into my memory; the wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly…” This line may be among the most beautiful lyrics ever written! ❤

This song mean so much it was our song and now he's gone, he passed away at the end of September but I still continue to play this song everyday and remember our dancing in the kitchen... This Thanksgiving will be hard without him, but I'll always have this song in my heart.

I can't stop listening to this beautiful song,so good so well performed Glad to be alive with songs and artists like this!

It's the end of a perfect day for surfer boys and girls The suns dropping down in the bay and falling off the world There's a diamond in the sky, our evening stone in our Shangri-La Get that fire burning strong right here and right now Its here and then its gone, theres no secret anyhow. We may never love again to the music of guitars in our Shangri-La Tonight your beauty burns into my memory The wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly This is all the heaven we got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La Tonight your beauty burns into my memory The wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly This is all the heaven we got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La. In our Shangri-La In our Shangri-La

What a beautiful song, further enhanced by Emmy Lou and Mark!

It's the end of a perfect day For surfer boys and girls The sun's dropping down in the bay And falling off the world There's a diamond in the sky Our evening star In our shangri-la Get that fire burning strong Right here and right now It's here and then it's gone There's no secret, anyhow We may never love again To the music of guitars In our shangri-la Tonight your beauty burns Into my memory The wheel of heaven turns Above us endlessly This is all the heaven we've got Right here where we are In our shangri-la This is all the heaven we've got Right here where we are In our shangri-la

Most beautiful song, can't get enough of it. Must listen to this 8-10 times a day.

I play and listen to this, 12 07 am , to go off to sleep, But i cannot go off to sleep, i repeat it, .....will now do , a 3rd time. So wonderful.

Simply, one of the best combination... Emmylou and Mark.

Monsieur Knopfler is like a good wine, the older it gets, the better it becomes. I have tasted it tasty, for years. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for the unique guitar sound.

What music should sound and look like! An absolutely exquisitely awesome experience. I'm in music heaven with the tone of Mr Knopfler's guitar and Emmylou's grace and presence. What a collection of talent on one stage.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Just wow. Magnificent.

I listen to this song twice a day morning and evening when I walk along the beach and I am in another world for so many years now. Thank you MK

There are NOT many musicians they are raising up as a legend in her living time. But Mark Knopfler is really one of them. Thanks Mark, for your wonderful music that convoyed me since about 40 years (since dire straits time...) or more. Thanks also to your other wonderful musicians. The wonderful voice of Emmylou Harris and the others...... I love it.........👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mark Knopfler's musical abilities are on loan from God.

You just have to keep coming back to this. The best recording and interpretation. The whole band are outstanding and sheer magic by the best guitarist of all time.

It's a great song full of deep romance ♡ This is a great song that should be put on the Hall of Fame ~ I hope it will be sung for a long time ❤️🧡

Emmylou Harris, the queen of country singers, will always be the best ever. She always sings wonderfully well in solo, in duet, in group🐦😘

This is the most relaxing music ever.. Anyone suffering stress or burnout should be prescribed this song.

I was fortunate enough to see this live at the Royal Albert Hall in London. As is mentioned below these excellent performers left their egos behind and delivered perfection.

never really considered myself a violin lover, but for 1:14..(6:25-7:39) I must say. I was blown away by the violin solo..Kudos to this band and especially Mark Knopfler for this masterpiece of music!!

Cold Friday morning in Sydney, Australia. Still in bed. Listening to this masterpiece. Cup of tea by my side. Life can’t be better than this ....

This may be one of his greatest song performances ever. Every note, vocal, and interpretation is just so, so good. Listen to other live versions of this song to realize just how good this one is. Near perfection.

Don't you just love the way every musician plays beautifully and can't help looking around in pleasure watching their friends take over

I never had listened to this song. Everything is amazing: voices, guitar, violin, keyboards...

Just heard this for the first time. The voices, the instruments. It's the cherry on top to a long Covid day.

One of my all time favorite songs - especially this live version. I love the way Mark Knopfler allows ALL of his musicians to shine and contribute to the overall masterpiece. This violin solo in particular is the best I ever heard anywhere. It gives me chills. It' magic.

Ich werde bald 80 - aber Mark ist und bleibt für mich der Beste.

This is the most amazing album I’ve listened to in 50years ❤❤

Here it is the middle of 2021 and I am still listening to Mark and EMMYLOU singing this beautiful song,, to everyone who is also listening God bless and stay safe please,,,👌❤️

Without a doubt about the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Words fail to describe how talented this man is.

would happily listen to this on an endless loop .... but acttually cutting it short is genius. Leaves you wanting more every time.

What makes Emmylou so amazing as a duet singer--she is PRESENT. She LIVES each song, each moment of each song. She is such an amazing emotional storyteller.

There are a lot of professional artists out there. However, no one can compare to Mark. He is in a class all his own. His creative genius is matched by no one. Unbelievable music. I could listen to him for all eternity .

When my soul seeks peace then I listen to Mark and his sublime music... from Italy with love ❤

When you listen to Marks music it puts you in the land of pure heavenly bliss ❤❤❤

One of the most beautiful songs I've heard form Mark with Emmylou.

If there's a playlist in paradise, this is certainly part of it.❤

I have a 2yr old grandson, and he's always captivated by the instruments and harmony, his teething troubles are soothed.

This is perfection. Simply magical.

Two icons singing a wonderful song with other great musicians. Musical heaven.

This song is absolute nirvana for the soul - blissful and uplifting. I am addicted to it.

What a pretty song. Like “Never seen blue like that before “ a song that describes just a day, when we are so glad to be alive.

Two sublime artistes together, performing one of the best duets ever.The two voices blend together, warm and like velvet.This will be a classic in the future, forever being replayed.Would have loved to have seen this concert, a lasting memory.Would be great to see these two collaborate again for another album.

This song is beyond a masterpiece of music. I am grateful to have experienced this song in my life time.

Mark and his friends are a one of kind angelic blend of music and magic

wann immer ich diesen Song höre laufen mir die Tränen runter

If I was Mark Knopfler, I would be honored beyond comprehension to share the stage with Emmylou. If I was Emmylou Harris, I would be honored beyond comprehension to share the stage with Mark. What a perfect pairing of talent

When someone can see and heard these great singer monsters playing and singing, one knows that there is a real beauty in the world. Thanks Emmylou and Mark, to be so fantastic!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make music.

It's here and then it's gone. Each moment is like that. Cling to the dying of the light. Love on through the wake of the loving kindness we choose to show each other ❤

Mark and Emmylou are just the perfect chemistry ,like heaven n earth . Seamlessly natural . Pure talent ,no ego. Lucky to have heard them in my life. ❤

What an excellent group of musicians performing excellently. No matter how many times I hear this song it moves me.

A line in this song is pure perfection "tonight your beauty burns into my memory" only knopfler writes songs of meaning

Always loved this song... THIS version... WOW! The intro is amazing!

If you can make magic with music then Mark Knoffler has found the recipe. I have been a fan of Dire Straits and Marks solos for many, many years (I'm 68) seen the band live a few times and bought my son up to appreciate them but I really do think that this song has it all and more. Thank you so much Mr. Knoffler you brighten my days and are never predictable. Just love your music. 💖

Extraordinary!!! Mark Knopfler & Marilou Harris!!! I love them!!! ♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I would'nt have been alive without Mark's music..I owe him everthing!! ❤

Everybody is totally Zen during this beautiful piece..... I can listen over and over.

Pure tones without distortion from his guitar. So beautiful on my ears.

Anyone listening in 2020? That's simply brilliant! Thanks Mark for this moment.

I‘ve heard this song so many times. It always takes me to another world, to my own Shangri-La. Thank you Mark.

Sitting here a little drunk and a little high letting the Master storyteller and finger picker spin a tale. The beauty of Emmylou coming on through, their magic.

Few things never get tiring. But SHANGRI-LA seems as fresh and enchanting now as it did the first time I heard it. Thank you Mark Knopfler, Emmylou and Band for a timeless masterpiece!

Thanks, Emmy Lou and Mark A Duet is one of the most intimate things we can share musically. You both Rock this! ♡♡♡

I'm 78 and it seems like have loved Dire Straits forever. Mark knows his way around a guitar to perfection.

They harmonize so beautifully together. Just fab! Mahalo Nui Loa. ❤

Mark is the best of the best!

Per me è una delle 10 poesie musicali più belle del firmamento musicale mondiale!! Grande Mark !

So many people are missing out... on these finniest of artist ..hit if you agree..

Hauntingly Beautiful ❤ R.I.P Gram Thanks for the gift of your music you left for us to Cherish Always❤

Her voice ! When she comes in ! Wow, Fantastic ! Mr Knofler is very, very good.

This man takes my breath away. You hope and pray that the solos will never end. You wish you could communicate in a way to do the music and lyrics justice, but you can't. We are blessed to have his music in our lives.

MK is one of my favorites. Love his stories, guitar work, and his style of singing. He only gets better!

Can t make it any better, soothing, warming, comforting, brings the spirit to different level. The gentle music, the harmony makes it so easy to let myself escape to all my best memories of life. Thank you for this peice of haven. ❤

This is what music sounds like when you allow time and space for all the talented musicians and vocalists to perform..... Blissful
