I have been a street performer for 40 years and I remember when the cops were nice to us...now they are stormtroopers. Too bad because this dude rocks!

People are not allowed to enjoy themselves anymore, the government just wants face-nappy-wearing, compliant, obedient workers. Great music sir!

I was born in Dortmund, Markus and I am so sorry about these stupid laws. I wish there would be more amazing artists like you in this city. Very well handled and I am glad the locals supported you. Stay safe and keep on rocking!

This guy is PHENOMENAL and what a FANTASTIC VOICE!

As Lao Tzu said: ‘the more laws and restrictions you introduce; the more criminals you create’. 👍

What a shame, this world needs more guys like you. Spreading joy and happiness. Jam on man. 😃

people like Markus make the world more beautiful and music truly alive. Deep respect for the Musician

It should be forbidden to interrupt such good music. Unfortunately, the same in many cities . I had this kind of experience in Paris. So sad. Love your style and your play. Keep on man , your are amazing !

Brother, I'm a cop and if I had orders to shut you down, I'd be in trouble. Also a musician, and would at the very least have helped you find a spot where you could jam. Just discovered you now. Nice work man! From Canada :)

It's a shame how the "LAW" is NOT working 🤨😤 But this was the best street musician I've heard so far , keep on playing Mate ❤❤❤👍

What a great performer. Power to the people ❤

As a Break Dancer who has performed many times in the streets and a big J J Cale fan too, seeing your great setup, performance and hearing your fantastic version, was like sweet nectar to my eyes and ears. Respect, peace and love!

This is shameful, what is happening in our free country??? Long live the music, long live the blues. Very cool sound👏Further so Markus❤🎸

Wo man singt, da lass dich ruhig nieder, böse Menschen haben keine Lieder. Thank's to the good guy for your great music!

Маркус Вы украшение ютуба,я давно не слышал ничего подобного.Вы сделали мои послеработние вечера.Вы делаете прекрасную музыку.Долгих лет жизни Вам и крепкого здоровья.У меня нету слов выразить Вам свою признательность,одни положительные эмоции.Очень удивлен что люди проходят мимо.Полицаи должны Вас охранять и беречь и довозить в лучшие районы города.У них нет сердца.Большое Вам спасибо за великолепное творчество.

Dziękuję za wspaniałą muzykę. Jesteś lekiem na zło które nas otacza. Widzę że niemieckiej Polizei nie podoba sie Twoja muzyka 😮. Chory jest ten świat ale Twoja muzyka uzdrawia łudzi. Pozdrowienia od Polaka z Niemiec. Ps. Chciałbym abyś kiedyś wystąpił w Polsce, latem na ulicy Monte Casino w Sopocie i na starym mieście w Gdańsku. Jest tam wspaniała atmosfera.😊❤

Can't be disturbing people with good music and good vibes..might bring strangers together..can't have that😢

Drei Polizisten gegen die Kunst - es hätte nur noch Pfefferspray gefehlt! Danke Markus, dass es Leute wie dich gibt!✌🏻❤🎸

The Stones and many other bands of that era where born out of the blues. This is a brilliant tribute to their song. A great street session.

Still don’t understand how this guys not a top artist in the music world absolutely rockin 🎵🎵🎵

Die sind immer da , wo man sie nicht braucht .

Et oui , c'est toujours plus facile d'ennuyer les gens honnêtes qui promulguent du bien autour d'eux que d"aller pourchasser les malfaiteurs. On vit une drôle d'époque ! En tout cas continue de faire et communiquer ta musique , c'est génial !

Danke für diese gute Musik !!

It's amazing how few people feel and love music.

Gut zu wissen, dass die Polizei bei schweren Straftaten sofort zu Stelle ist. Man fühlt sich gleich viel sicherer.

Gott sei Dank wurde die innere Sicherheit wieder hergestellt in Deutsch......sorry......Dummland! Da kann man jetzt mit sicherem Gefühl, zum Beispiel , ins Freibad gehen! Doppel Daumen hoch!!!!

I went to Dortmund in 1999 Christmas time and it was fantastic.I never knew warm red wine was a thing!The Christmas festival was beautiful with some beautiful crafts and an outrageous Christmas Tree.

Das ist ,, Deutschland " und natürlich auch die Deutsche Polizei!!! Super Musik vielen Dank ☺️

Toll, dass einige Mitbürger in meiner Nachbarstadt sich solidarisch gezeigt haben.

Le monde à l'envers... Continue ta musique Markus , n'arrête pas... fais vivre le monde.

Acabo de descubrirte y me pareces simplemente impresionante!!! Parece que al sistema no le gusta que se reparta arte y cultura no sea que despertemos y nos cuestionemos nuestra forma de ver la vida... Te deseo lo mejor, cuídate y no pares por favor ❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Excellent,ce type a vraiment le rythme d'un bon vieux blues.💪👏👌👍

Mega toller Mensch..🤗 Würde ihn mal so gern live sehen..❤

This man kicks ass. Rock On Dude 😎

Markus....what a great person you are.... Said by a French guy who misses people like you nowadays. Be blessed. Fred.

Oh look its the Fun Police. Thought they were going to buy a Cd. Great playing.

Ach ja, die deutsche Polizei: Hab sie auch schon anders erlebt, da kamen sie nur vorbei, um selbst der Musik zu lauschen. Schade, Dortmund!

Wtf...! Three cops for only one musician..? Shame on them..! Congratulations bro.. You are so good, great músic...!

we can never have enough beautiful music in our cities..., but some laws don't want us to be too happy

Не сумуйте,то дрібниці,головне що ви мега талант,ви діамант м музиці і це від вас ніхто і ніколи не відбере,радуйте і надалі своєю творчістю,доброго вам здоров'я,вдачі,кохайте і будьте коханим !!!!!!!!!!!

Cool man, wonderful artist and music, wish there was more freedom 🌹🎶🎶🎶🌹

You are what makes life better !!! Music is universal and blues is king !!! Music is a great gift from God. God bless and keep playing. ❤❤

verdammt gut gespielt

Musicians are being forced to play on the streets because clubs won't pay them anymore. This is great playing and excellent street music. Artists should be cherished and encouraged not treated like vagabonds. Shame on them and their policing guidelines.

You play it beautifully ♥️♥️♥️

I love your music Mr.Markus for real you are 💯👍🏼keep going man , I like blues music especially in 60’s 🎸

Wow! Fantastic Blues man!

Jau, mir geht es nur so. Deshalb spiele ich leider keine E-Gitarre mehr sondern nur noch die Akustik. Und mir tut das soo leid. In Deutschland ist Kunst auf der Straße leider polizeilich verboten! Es sei denn es sind diese designten, organisierten Straßenkünstlerfestivals bei denen man* sich erst vorher bewerben muß und dann gegen andere Künstler antreten soll. Einfach peinlich. In Deutschland ist Nur betteln und schnorren erlaubt. Dabei darf man* sich dann leise mit der Akustikgitarre begleiten. Es ist zum kotzen. Aber so ist es in Deutschland. Gleichzeitig diskutieren alle Fernseh- und Radiotalkshows darüber, dass Kunst und Bildung in Deutschland den Bach runter geht und nur noch singende Tatortkommissare* und DSDSler für vollwertig genommen werden.

This guy is really good....I mean really, really good 👍🏻

W Polsce jest podobnie, też byłem świadkiem będąc w Gdańsku jak zwinęli młodego świetnie grającego muzyka. Słuchało jego muzyki kilkanaście osób na deptaku nie wadząc nikomu. Jest to dla mnie nie zrozumiałe. Pozdrawiam Ciebie Bracie i graj dalej swoją muzę bo jesteś mistrzem w swoim fachu. Bardzo mi się podoba, mógłbym słuchać bardzo, bardzo długo. Świetna technika. Pozdrawiam z południowej Polski.

Thank you coppers! With you guys around , the world will be safe from vicious artists and we'll never be able to enjoy great music . 😂😂😂. Thanks for the music Markus❤❤❤❤.

Love your live playing, very solid 👍👍👍

The fun police 💔 great performance 👏👏👏🍻

This is way more than a thumbs up. It’s a ❤ from my heart. You do such good things. Please keep it up. You’re doing the right thing.

Now, more than ever we need music! The world is tearing apart guys in suits and uniforms are creating all the pain and misery whereas musicians help us cope with it all..🎸🎹❤

geile Musik.... Du bist ein wirklich guter Musiker mit viel Gefühl.... wouw

my wife (she is french) explaint Germany like this: "In Germany it's very easy - things are not allowed or they are forbidden..."

Wow, such a good performance must not be disturbed. It's a shame these stupid laws. They must be forbidden. Keep on Rockin' 🎸🎶

Great tone. You did a super job creating JJ Cale's tone.

What excellent music and how much love this person gives with his music. Too bad there are people who do not give themselves to love. I hope and one day they understand what they do wrong. Although that would be very sad for them.

Ordnung wieder hergestellt. Das hätte auch ganz anders ausgehen können. Aber GANZ anders!!!11 Danke an unsere Freunde und Helfer.

great music...great playing...many thanks for doing very well...😇

Love jj cale, love your vibe 👍

I feel so sorry about a stupid cops from Dortmund!!! Great job buddy! Greetings from Canada!!!👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Most worthy effort of JJ ive ever heard! Some cops are heartless. Their loss. Keep on keeping on bro! ❤🎉

Thank you for the music you play. You are the soul-brother of J.J. Cale.

Absolutely love your sound brother 🎶✊🏻 I grew up on the streets and learnt my craft in music and song busking in many cities over many years. I was stopped by the police and mall cops lots of times. It would get pretty competitive between buskers at times but I never used an amplifier and was always happy when if someone did they would get shut down first and let the rest of us be heard at a reasonable distance from each other. Plenty of venues available for great artists like yourself, but sorry, no amps, band in a box or pa systems and no marketing on the streets please. All the best man.🎶👍

Thanks Markus Rock the Blues 😎

Das ist die große Freiheit in der USABRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super music!

Love it! Great playing! Love JJ Cale! 😊

I’m amazed at the no. of people who just walk by & they don’t hear him.

Plus facile d'empêcher un musicien de rue de jouer sa musique et fait danser des jeunes gens que d'arrêter des trafiquants de drogue qui tuent nos jeunes. Politiciens il est temps de mieux gérer les tâches dévolues à la police. Bravo Markus pour la qualité de ton jeu musical.

I just came across & subscribed to your channel, FANTASTIC. I love the Blues. JJ Cale is a legend. His work with Leon Russell & his songwriting is the work of a genius. Helluva tribute CD Eric Clapton did for JJ.

Mein Respekt vor der Polizei sinkt stetig.

It is a very strange world today. In a World of X factor and very weird Politics. I vote for you and the blues.

Man, you definitely got JJ’s sound down in spades brotha!

Haaaa , ce sentiment du devoir accomplis quand on rentre de mission. Quelle fierté!

I dug on JJ Cale as a youth. Still diggin. I love your voice love your talent

Wonderful performance,sad it was cut short,buskers attract people to the citys

Músicas lindas e cantor incrível! 👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful sound from that guitar great voice. Tribute to JJ keep on keeping on

One of my favourite JJ Cale tunes.

Nice version of JJ's. Liked it a lot.

Jeder autoritäre Staat kann nur existieren durch die, die ihn durchsetzen.... Great job, Markus!!

Keep playing music 🎶. The world needs to dance!

well played 🦜🐈✨ you are a lovely, brilliant ✴️ bird 🕊️✨

In this case the law let themselves down badly, the only axe this man yields is a 6string...and he sure knows how to play it..Respect him.......ps I met and spoke with JJ Cale, he filled me in on his custom Harmony gtr, Rory Gallagher took part in the chat, he was also curious about JJs guitar set up...Respect the busker..

Keep on keeping on man ❤

Geiler Sound und ein scheinbar originaler Typ der zur Musik passt 👍

The police may stop your excellent playing but they cannot stop you great talante. Keep going sir. My best wishes. 👍🏿🌈

Great playing man. Keep up the good work. Buskers of the world unite!!🤠🤟🎸

Love your work mate!

Thanks Markus, go on we love your music, and Dortmund police is zerro.❤❤❤💯🥰👌✊👍💪💪

Keep music live , fight for it or lose it , it's that simple folks .

Une bien triste époque ! Ou ce musicien exceptionnel se produit en pleine rue pour donner de la joie au gens …pauvre humanité pauvre policiers qui ne savent pas reconnaître le talent qui se produit juste devant eux… La médiocrité n a pas de limites pour les ignorants ✊ Merci à toi JJ C

Keep on rollin Markus - We love you♥

I live in Scotland, there are places where buskers are moved on but it's o.k. to beg. Love your style.

We think we're dreaming, the guys don't mind when we make people smile, music is universal, and no one will silence it!

Not listened to the Blues for ages, great sound. 👍
