I've listened to it since it came out. Damn I'm getting old.😂

Yes

that sounds amazing I'm 20 and I have a 99 grand marquis I'm building up v8 engines and rock music truly go together so well!

One great memory for you and I bet it's a great memory for your dad. One great song and a great car. 65 Vett not too shaby. Had a couple myself. Love this song. Cheers.

Awesome story!!!

It wasn't released until 1985 - how come you heard it in 1965!! 😅😅😅

Pretty cool how sting pulls the other guys head in doing backing vocals to let him know he wants him there around 617

Can elden,can you tell me the name of the guy in the white outfit who starts the song? Thanks

Thank you.

Greatest guitar riff ever. How it got away from Angus Young we'll never know. :P

It really is. I use it to benchmark every sound system I use.

@@hedhunta52 Knopfler is a hell of a producer. His music always has the complete range.

Never heard anyone else play it like on the official soundtrack - in fact Knopfler was never able to repeat the exact riff that is on the original soundrack - it's magic, and it happened and never happened again.

For sure.

His playing is instantly recognizable. I remember when I first heard Sultans - it was about 1 a.m., I was driving, and I pulled over to listen, thinking "WHO is THAT?" Start of a lifelong love affair with Knopfler and his music.

He is like David Gilmore from Pink Floyd, he can hold your attention by playing one note. Love Telegraph Road. Surprised Dire Straits aren't classed as Progressive Rock.

First, second and third that...

@@fozziebear567 exactly!

Yes sir, this was the first performance of this song....that I am aware of. And I was there. Gad to go to summer school after this, U was a bad boy that year.

28th of June according to google, so quite literally a couple of weeks. Mustve been mad hearing this beast of a tune for the first time at a LIVE concert

0:27, And yet, at the beginning of the song when Sting started, crowd got a little hyper.

Think this was the first ever performance. And the song was released before Live Aid, but it wasn't a hit until after Live Aid, so would have been pretty unknown. I believe it got into the top 10 around three weeks after this show

​@@willritter4076 good stuff man!

as a 15 year old guitarist..i totally agree

I think I agree, but I didn’t hear what you said after 'No debate.'

Do Foo Fighters count as a GenX band?

@DavidRachlinMLIS i dont think so

I’m 52 years old, and I couldn’t disagree more. We have a lot of great music, of course, but we also had a lot of real crap that no one remembers or talks about. And that’s true of every era. The 60s have the Beatles and The Who, but they also had the Doodletown Pipers. The 70s had the Eagles and Led Zeppelin, but they also gave us the Osmonds. In the 80s we had Van Halen and Dire Straits, but we also had vanilla ice. Today there are some truly amazing bands like Tame Impala and Warpaint. The reality is that every decade produces a small amount of great music and a ton of crap that is quickly disposed of. But everyone believes that the music they were listening to between the ages of 15 and 24 is the best music of all time because it’s the soundtrack of their lives. It doesn’t matter if you were 15, 50, or 80: the music of your late teens will always be at the top of your playlist.

Me too, merry me

Couldn’t agree more! A shame that I was too young to experience and living in the wrong country😊

Yes it is

Greatest live event in the history of the world

Lol good point

It actually makes sense. The original song was written to rub it in the faces of less successful people complaining about musicians getting to be rich. So it only makes sense that this song is played at a charity concert, to rub it in the faces of the people who complain about giving money to people who need it.

@Dual Shock "it's hilarious having the idea to play Money For Nothing at a benefit concert." - Not really, provided your attention span extends past the song's mere title...

'Music for nothing and this gigs for free.'

You may be over-thinking this. Back in the day Money for Nothing was just a song about some t**t being unhappy about a rock band making money out f their music.

Those other people are weird for not liking classic rock haha!

I agree I love the beginning of the song with the drums the problem is the most of the radio stations don't start the music started with that they don't let it play out

Totally agree brilliant intro with the drums. The guitar with Mr. Knopfler well no words needed 👌

Funny story, the guy playing the drums played with Dave Edmonds/Rockpile/Nick Lowe. Literally his entire contribution to this entire album was only the drum intro. They hired a session guy to replace all his drum tracks on the songs other than the intro to money for nothing. Having to live that down would have been rough for me, to say the least

as the drum sounds of Van Halen, another level.

Sorry to hear of his passing. When our band used to play at Kenny's Castaways in the East Village, NYC in the late 70's/early 80's, he was so damn good, and played in many of the bands who gigged there. Glad to see he got much much bigger gigs and was recognized for his great talents.

If you like Sting doing that, you ought to see him (it's on UKposts) sing message in a bottle all by himself on stage at the Secret Policemen's Concert (for Amnesty International).

Yesssssshhh?

Ive seen him live, twice, in 1986 and 2011 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He really is this good and better besides. My ears were stunned at that live show.

Ive seen him live twice. In 1986 and 2011. And if he ever goes on the road I will see him again in a heartbeat. True story my friend saw him jamming at the local pub here in Melbourne in 86 on his day off. He had a couple of guys from the band with him. I wanted to punch my friend in the throat.

@@jesineri1213 Why doubt him? The man is just speaking with passion about one of his favourite days ever and you come here and shit all over it with your negativity? Go do something better with your life man.

@Jesi Neri I'm 62, which I think you'll find qualifies me to have existed at the time. I was sharing my moment in time, and my own personal point of view . Apologies for our opinions being different but, hey, I'm not losing any sleep over it.

I thought U2, Dire Straits and Queen were the standouts at Wembley. U2 changed the tone of the day when they came on and played "Sunday Bloody Sunday", they were the first act that day to have real weight and presence on stage. Dire Straits had the best musicianship, and gave the tightest performance of the day. Queen, well they had Freddie, even though he wasn't at his best vocally, and the band played good, but nothing out of this world...it was all about his showmanship, and onstage charisma to involve the crowd. Ultravox, Sade and Nik Kershaw played very good sets also.

@@jesineri1213 I was watching it live. Queen stole the show, hands-down. There were other good sets - this one in particular as well as U2s set - but no one rocked it like Queen and that was known long before any movie.

@@jesineri1213 My meaning is quite clear. And no, no one says Paul Young stole the show. But even those who participated said Queen did. Elton John said that to them after their set and the organizer, Geldof, said they were absolutely the best band. Thanks for playing, better luck next time.

Hard not to Concur. Great music. Questionable 🤨 @PlayingForChange🎃.

👍 а Я в 56.

My dad played this for me too in 1985 when I was 6 years old. At 43 I'm blessed to have had an amazing musical experience upbringing by the coolest dad ever. My dad passed away a while back. At least he got to see me partner up with the true founder of MTV. Nyhl Henson has become family to me. He's filling in as my care giver and business partner as I'm autistic. This was my favorite song growing up my dad used to play me on the way to school in his 1982 Datsun Maxima. God bless all the cool dads we had in the 80s who blessed us with such great music. Amen. You're not the only one brother.

As a gay man, I approve this message

My dad introduced me and i first heard it when my dad got the album from “Britannia” 😅😅 it was one of his monthly CD’s

Being German (having lived in Beds. for a while), I have an urge to state: If you're IN THE UK, PLS DON'T WORRY: Ever since Skiffle, you Brits keep on saving the world from going to waste w/awful music time & again!

And this particular song seemed to attract many of those former great guitarist. Take Eric Clayton for example when he joined Mark & co at Knebworth.

I agree! I was 33 at the time, and I loved Dire Straits! Still do! Love the Police. Great music back then. Mark Knopfler is one of the greats. He has an unique guitar style and voice. I miss the 80's. Watching this made me feel really happy!
