Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

[Andy]

What an amazing guitar player.

Dire Straits & Eric (EC, Crap Duck, Slow Hand) Clapton, what a combo and rendition!

 

[Butch]

Must watch. The first album I ever purchased was "EC at his Best" circa 1974... Gad I'm old.
Still one of the best electric giutar players ever...

 

[Butch]

Jeeze you guys are old. This is from 1988. I saw Dire Straights in the Coffee House at UCD in 1980...awesome. I am living in the best of times.

I once posted this on an SBR long ago and far away. It is still my favorite version of this classic.

Forty years later, Mark Knopfler is still rockin' "The Sultans of Swing." Live at Sevilla 7-26-2015.

He makes it look so easy and effortless. One of the best guitar players and singers alive.

My favorite Dire Straits number. My favorite version is the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute performance (1988) with Eric Clapton, seen on post #32 of this thread.
