I think this is the best performance of Sultans of Swing. Something really magical happened on the stage there, you can just feel it. It wasn't perfect, but it was simply beautiful. They don't make songs like these anymore...

Watch Basel 1992 sultans performance live- imo that’s the best performance. The chemistry between the pianist, sax and mark toward the end is epically outstanding
@MinorityMansРік тому
Agreed, I think has to do with the Pensa and the drums. They were really getting into the swing here. Also the more mellow approach which fits the longer solo.

Knopfler's ability on the guitar is as amazing as ever but what really blows me away about this particular live version is the dude on the drums, especially when he very slowly starts to ramp it up at the 7:37 spot. You almost don't notice it at first because you're mesmerized by Mark's guitar playing and you don't really get your first inkling of it until 8:05 but then when the drums really get going at 8:16 it puts this performance into the stratosphere before he just starts kicking ass at 8:29

I love that story. I will never forget the first time I heard this song. My Dad was picking me up from a swim meet and had just bought the Sultans of Swing album, and pretty much said the same thing. We literally put Sultans on repeat for the entire hour-long car ride home. That was 15 years ago and Sultans of Swing remains, to this day, my favorite song. It is not an overreaction to say this song changed my life.

@naralaiho9 років тому
Knopfler would be ashamed seeing his "fans" speak so arrogantly about another person. I don't like Bieber either. If you are truly interested in old rock music, this usually goes hand in hand with a certain detachment of modern society, all those "stars" etc. If I see in the top comment somebody saying how much Justin Bieber sucks, it makes me rather sad. And most people here are old enough to see through this. Bieber is an good looking fellow with an average voice who was exploided by the music industry. Don't hate on the kid, it's rather a reflection of today's society. He is now doing all this embarassing stuff everybody of us has done with 14 because he never had his teenage years for himself.

Knopfler is a guitar genius. It's no wonder Chet Atkins ( another noted guitar genius well before Knopflers time in the Sun ) always gave Knopfler a nod of approval. As a side note ... I love Knopfler's guitar playing skills to no end, but he appeared and sounded ( vocally ) like he was drunker than hell when this was taped. lawl.
@jalbraam25166 років тому
He always sounds a little drunk live. But i think We Can agree that You rarely listens to straits for the Vocal
