But looking at this I felt that you're my brother, as close to me in that moment as anyone I ever met. It was amazing to see someone of a different generation see this music the way I do. Seeing you tear up to one of the most beautiful songs in my life, the defining song of my childhood was so beautiful I knew you & I were one at that moment. I don't know anything about you but you're a beautiful human being man, forever my brother, a free person and I love you for that - peace to you for all of your life.

At first I thought reaction videos were just a meme, a way for youtubers to easily get attention and views from fans of the music videos artists they were reacting to. Now today I finally realized why I enjoyed watching Mr Vid had a blast watching this epic Dire Straits live piece: it basically made me feel again what I felt when I first heard this song from a crappy mpeg ripoff of the official laserdisc, before youtube even exists. There are really few songs like this one, that when they are played live, transcend the original song to these levels of epicness. It's difficult to even describe what you feel, you need to express it physically. That's exactly how the people from the audience of this concert expressed their joy and also how Mr. Vid reacted to it. Thx for the memories, it made my day and beyond

I know what you mean about reaction vids. Thinking on it, though, and watching them, I came to realize it's like that thing where the first thing you want to do when you find something really cool is show it to your friends. The innate desire and even need to teach others what we know seems to be a uniquely human drive, and it may be the very thing most responsible for our dominance on this planet. Also, now I'm totally addicted to reaction vids. I particularly like the ones where I get to see how people with backgrounds and life experiences very different to my own respond to stuff I really like. So far, it seems awesome things have a surprisingly-universal sorta appeal, which makes me realize that I should be a lot more open to stuff others think is cool, even if it's not necessarily something I'd seek out on my own.

@Dania Ann Alchemy is responsible for my lifelong love for playing the guitar. My parents played a lot of music at home and only in hindsight I can attribute some of the appreciation for some musicians to that. For example John Lee Hooker - my dad didn't listen to him but he listened to music like that and I somehow caught the blues bug and went on a journey of my own. I am sure CSNY did something for you even if it may not be obvious.

My birthday cake was the strat with licorice laces for the strings. I obsessed over dire straits. I marvel even more now just how God like and natural Knopfler is with that guitar.

One of my favorite songs by one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Picking a favorite version comes down to taste, but for me this is not the version of SoS I'd choose to introduce someone to Mark Knopfler. With a few exceptions, I just don't think live performances work very well for reaction videos. It's not easy to play and sing at the same time, especially this song. There's a ton of energy and great individual performances in this concert clip, but it's also a bit sloppy. It fails to showcase the iconic groove, feel, and tight pocket of the original, which many consider to be the greatest strength of the song (along with Mark's singable leads). I'm sorry for bringing any negative energy, just wanted to encourage anyone hearing Sultans of Swing for the first time to check out the original studio version of the song if this live version doesn't do it for them.
