And that's why old people like me ( I'm 70 ) allways say the music from our youth was BETTER !!!!!

I love watching this song change peoples lives when they see this for the first time! they have no idea they are about to witness possibly the greatest live performance of all time!

Mark Knopfler who founded the band, wrote the words, music, arranged it, sang and played his guitar as only he can. A GENIUS. He's just retired from touring at the young age of 72....

The British smash it when it comes to music.

This is one of the most masterful live performance of all time by some of the Greatest musicians of the time, Terence Williams on the drums was epic 👌

That’s what happens when you put outstanding musicians together who are on fire. Amazing performance.

Mark Knopfler has an incredible ability to cause reactions like yours through his playing. His playing just exudes emotion.

Possibly the best live performance ever, certainly it's right up there in the top 2 or 3 of all time.

They are so good that their instruments alone just ooze emotion, you could leave out the singing and it would be just as powerful.

That's what you call music...Live and loud This track will never fade I was there when this was filmed and if I remember they got a 5min standing ovation It just blew me away

Dire sounds like tyre/tire or 🔥 fire. It's lovely seeing you getting emotional. The sign of a truly good story , book, movie or song is to elicit emotions and it doesn't have to be sad or happy but sometimes just emotions of a mix that just shows you how much you love and appreciate the talent of their music, facial expressions like those little smiles of mark, the beautiful piano of Alan or Terry and his amazing drumming. Their studio records were brilliant eg 10 out of 10 but this tour was more 12 out of 10. One of those once in a lifetime moments that not all bands get and not everyone gets to see except not thanks to KZfaq.

Lady,, this band just touched your soul, like everyone else who sees it 1st time. Your reaction was 'nearly' up there with the band !! Bless you❤

Yes way. One of the best pop/rock songs ever written. You are beautiful, by the way.

I just love it when someone just has to dance.

Your reaction was just like mine the first thousand times I listened to this masterpiece. ❤

Beautiful reaction! She almost collapse!! Love to see it. Whenever I see these videos, being the first time that adults listen to Sultans of Swing I think... What the hell have they been doing with their lives until now??? But it's nice to see the reaction. There is no such music anymore, of course. This is the Olympus of music.

May be even after I watched thousand times and with your reaction I literally got tears..

I love watching young people get emotional about music from my Era.:)

....... Not bad, for over 40 years ago, eh???? Awesome!! Even the audio guy on the sound deck was world class!!!!!!!!

A magical masterpiece. A feast for the ears. Their talent is other worldly.

IT'S JUST COMING FROM ANOTHER WORLD! I LIKE THAT REACTION! IT'S JUST NORMAL, WHEN YOU SEE SUCH A BAND, A PERFORMANCE! 😂👍KISSES FROM FRANCE..... LOOK AT TUNNEL OF LOVE, TELEGRAPH ROAD, OR BROTHER IN ARMS! OR THE WHOLE ALCHEMY CONCERT!

Yep, still my favorite live performance of all time.

Welcome!! Been rocking to this for decades. What you heard was absolutely real talent which is sorely lacking these days. Great reaction! I cry all the time during that guitar solo!

1983, 39 years ago. Now TELEGRAPH ROAD from this concert too. You'll love it..

good old classic guitar rock it was the best of times as a teenager. I am 68 years young and I still love this top music !!!

I love your reaction! I'm subscribing! This was filmed in July 1983 at Hammersmith Odeon, London, I spent my 18th birthday money on tickets for this show and it was awesome. I was on the balcony and it was jumping! Mark Knopfler, guitar, lead vocals, Hal Lindes rhythm guitar, John Illsley on Bass, Alan Clark keyboards with Tony Tommy Mandel on back up keyboards. Finally, The wonderful Terry Williams on the drums You don't realise how good it was until years later when its on You Tube! At the time the musicians were all well known, except Terry Williams and as a drum person he was the absolute stand out amazing! Onyin, I still get goose bumps when I see this!❤

Great reaction, this is one of the greatest performances ever from anyone, Mark Knopfler was untouchable during this time. I have watched this so many times and it's always amazing. React to Tunnel of Love from the Alchemy concert next, another amazing performance from Dire Straits.

Onyin, Wonderful reaction! I still get emotional (just as you did) every time I see this performance. I have listen to this song everyday for the last 45yrs!

Yep, a great way to spend 11 or so minutes. Maybe the best live performance ever.

i had to wait more then 6 min until you finally got up and dance... great reaction!!!

Absolutely stunning performance! The whole band playing hot and feeling it for sure.

great reaction to a great performance!

Fantastic , heart warming reaction

Perfect reaction......"OMG!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED???!!!!!!!" Onyin, I understand, I understand. I've watched this performance 100's of times over the last nearly 40 years and I get emotional EVERY time.

Masterpiece. It’so beautiful I can’t hold back tears. Mark Knopfler moves his fingers on his guitar and on my soul I liked Your reaction. Thank you for this video

👍🏻 I love this performance. 😊 Great reaction. 👍🏻

That's the reaction right there, you get it girl

Onyin, good stuff. I like how you let your emotions show. Some of Dire Straits songs have the same effect on me, like Telegraph Road and Brothers In Arm. Check out their live concerts and Mark's own solo live concerts.

Reminds me of trimming giant colas in Malibu California in 1979... Great daze. Cheers 🍄🌲🍄💥

I listen to this every morning gets me going

Your reaction was amazing!! Try Tunnel of Love from the same concert, about Mark's youth in the North East of England, and the Spanish City funfair in the seaside town of Whitley Bay. I'm about two years younger than Mark and I used to go there with my cousins while on holiday. This song brings back happy memories. Another good song, about America, is Telegraph Road, also Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway, So Far Away, Brothers In Arms, Walk of Life, and of course, Money for Nothing .

5:40 to 12:10 🎸"Simply Incredible"🎸 💣💥Simplemente increíble💣💥💥

You seem like a great person and a lovely soul

I feel the same way every time I listen to Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler is a genius. Listen to telegraph road (alchemy concert), Brothers in Arms (Mandela birthday concert), Money for Nothing (1985). All Dire Straits

Dire straits on fire 🔥🔥😀

Great, Great & Great

Probably the best guitar solo ever (with comfortably numb)

I love a reaction like this to this song! Mark knoffler could make a guitar sing & second half of that his guitar sang its own beautiful love song & you manage to hear every word that is never said!!!

Great song ❤ great reaction love it ❤

Love your channel and reaction 😊.. I love this performance. From the same concert Alchemy there's a song called Telegraph Road which is even more unbelievable. The lyrics too are so beautiful with the most epic ending ever. Thanks for this reaction Cheers 🎸🎸🎸

Thanks for the reaction!

This is my favorite and I've seen a lot

👌 Enjoy

That blew you away! 😀

Also watch from Alchemy concert - Tunnel of Love and Once upon a time in the west

Me too just like you, anyone with a heart!

You have absolutely made my day Onyin. You know what? Have a like and a new subscriber. That pure and beautiful reaction brought a huge smile to my face. Your reaction was spot on. Dire Straits have made some of the most emotive rock music. Mark Knopfler (vocals and lead guitar) is an amazing songwriter and writes some of the best lyrics and music, and makes his guitar sing. Check out Tunnel of Love (listen to the lyrics on this one - the Spanish City referred to in the song is a fairground in Whitley Bay which Knopfler used to visit as a youngster and is reminiscing about). Another great is Telegraph Road which is about the establishment, growth and eventual decline of the Detroit area of Michigan. Every Dire Straits album is pure gold in my opinion. He has a great collection of solo material too. It was pretty much the soundtrack of my formative years. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Love your reaction!!!🤩 I feel the same...every time!

Love love your reaction, this was a song I played over and over in my teenage years xx

Gracias, gracias, gracias!!💓💚

Hi Onyin ❤️🎸 yeah this was a era when they play good music ❤️👍🏾🥁🎸 THX for a wonderful reaction on Dire Straits 👍🏾❤️🇸🇪

Hi just wanted to say that’s the way to react to this tune ….❤️

I see someone has suggested Telegraph Road from the same concert. Absolutely brilliant suggestion and as brilliant is the song that just blew you away is Telegraph Road, for me, surpasses it. I Absolutely loved your reaction. Warmest wishes from the UK. Take care

So good, take care!🥰

Magic fingers...ticklin' for a song!

Great reaction to my favourite band!! I only saw them once when I was 18, still by far the best gig I’ve been too. Telegraph road next I think!!

This is probably the best live performance that Dire Straits did on video! Try the video of Mark Knopfler with Emmy Lou Harris doing songs from the album they did especially Speedway to Nazareth

Spoken like a true fan babe ❤ loved your reaction..😊🤣🤣🤣

Thank you onyin max QLD Australia.

Plenty of Dire Straits songs to choose from. The whole Alchemy concert is amazing. They can play better live than in the studio. Watch Sultans of Swing live in 1985 concert, better still watch the whole concert !!

Lovely Reaction:)

That album where this song is from is an actual musical gem. Try out Tunnel of love or Telegraph road, or Once upon a time in the west from the same album. Or anything else on there really. Ah, you still need more huh, np. Money for nothing (live aid) Private investigations Brothers in arms Where do you think you're going Calling Elvis I'll stop here, because you think no band can have that many gems right,but i'm not even half-way. No, really : Romeo and Julliet Your latest trick Skateaway The mans to big, the man's to strong Water of love Down to the waterline On every street The bug Why worry Ok, if you got hat far, i think you're a fan :D Welcome to the club :)

Next you should try "Your Latest Trick" from them...I have a feeling that you will really like, go for studio version. Another really huge famous songs from them: Money for Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms, etc. There's no bad song of them. Mark Knopler is one of the guitars GOATs.

This is Mr. Video's favorite song that he reacted to. He has two versions, so not sure which one he's talking about, or if it's just the song. My favorite by them is Skateaway. Love that video.

Brilliant, truly one of the best👊👍✌️

Mark ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love Dire Straits & had their records. They are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "Money For Nothing", "Walk Of Life", "Telegraph Road", "So Far Away", "Brothers In Arms" etc. They don't have a bad song.

Great genuine reaction. I would suggest, if I may, from the same concert "Telegraph Road"

That took you by surprise, it seems! Great reaction. I would recommend 'Money for Nothing' for your next listen to Dire Straits, I love that song.

hi ,onyin .been watching music reactions 4 a year or so .evry time ive had beers.wanting to subscribe to help out.tmorrow going to subscribe.i i liked that

I check the young peoples on reaction just for my fun to look their reaction about some great music like that one of Dire Strait. And your one was a great one. Emotion, passion for music and healtness that produce to us. Merci beaucoup and excuse my poor english writing, francophone de St Emile de Suffolk, au Québec. Encore une fois, merci beaucoup pour le partage de passion pour le beau de la vie ( vivre et partager ses émotions). Suggestion: go and make a reaction on Jacques Brel and the song Amsterdam. If this last performence (of Dire Strait) have bloowing you out of your legs, Jacques Brel will appeard just like the God of the interpretation of a song. You will may be not understand at your first listening (translation can be easy to find) for the meaning of the song but you will be striken by the power of the interpretation without any comparation. C'est Daniel qui vous salut Madame, et au plaisir et à la prochaine.

Really, am I old? Never heard of Dire Straits?

Well that only leaves you 6 Dire Straits studio albums to go with Alchemy. Then 9 solo studio albums by Mark Knopfler and 9 Film soundtracks. Should keep you busy. The new MK album should be out in 2023.

Hi Onyin ! Great reaction to a real classic from Dire Straits. That's actually the very first time I see you dancing to a song ! I loved this song from the very first time I have heard it... until now ! But to be honest, I prefer the 1992 live version a bit more. I just discovered a simple, but very beautiful, relaxing song... Billie Eilish - Billie Bossa Nova ! And now I have listened to this song maybe 5 or 6 times. Maybe you could do a reaction video to it ? Best wishes from Gerry, the foodist.

No need to apologise, Onyin, their music has that effect on many of us. Welcome to the great music of Mark Knopfler (the lead guitarist)! You might like to check these out, too, by the same group: (1) Telegraph Road: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZp1kpxjmcidg4k.html (2) Tunnel of Love (Live, 1985): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNt4a69yxMmmm5c.html (3) Brothers in Arms: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9-bjcZmqpy5dXk.html (1) and (3) are studio versions and are much better than any live version of the same songs I have ever heard (and that includes the live version of (1) on the Alchemy CD). Be careful with (3) since there is an edited version of this song that most reactors on KZfaq end up reviewing, which is vastly inferior to the one to which I have linked. (2) is live and is the best version of this song I know of. By the way, their name is pronounced Die-er Straits, and the word "Die-er" rhymes with "fire", "higher" and "wire".

Deyer - Does that help? Have you done their - "Walk Of Life" or "Money for nothing" - yet? May I suggest - ( Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9 1st impression,part 2.Cal Jam 1974 Remastered by Rudenko Arthur ) - This one has the best audio. It includes a GREAT drum Solo on an iconic drum and percussion kit. The drum shells are made of stainless steel and has etchings of animals. With the shells at almost a half inch thick, it weighs 2 tons.

👍❤️

Hey Onyin Pearl! To be in "dire straits" is to be in an extremely difficult position.

Oh please Onyin check these 4 out lass...you will be glad you did honey...Supertramp, Goodbye Stranger ....Pink Floyd The Great Gig in the Sky...Dire Straits, Tunnel of Love (live) ...and Procol Harem, A Whiter Shade of Pale, live from Vienna...👍❤❤❤❤

Probably addressed before but "dire straits" is close to like "dangerous waters" but not quite.

You need to react to "Yes - Roundabout"...

I don't want to be mean, title needs to be adjusted, it's Dire Straits. Other than that, video is great! Keep up doing great job!

You do realize you will never see anything like this ever again

Try Nightwish- Ghost Love Score live at wacken 2013,, 👍🤟🤟

I'm gonna do a reaction series to the beatles

The name of the band is Dire Straits not Strait

Quanti sono riusciti a contare le mani del batterista? piu o meno di 4? 🤣😂

Das ist schon überwältigend

You got it right the first time. "die-er" Dire Straits have done a lot of good songs. Walk of life kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocpph894qcCrm30.html and money for nothing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbqAZbWGqcXHfGQ.html Are both really good.

Questa è musica, oggi purtroppo i ragazzi ascoltano musica da 4 soldi
