Listened to these guys back in the day. Never saw them live or watched them live, but holy shit.

 
Always loved that one! Bet those guys recorded the album cut in like 3 total takes or less. Great band.
 
Surprised to see that Mark is a finger player. No pick. Shit gives me the chills, not too much does that.



Guy has a unique style of playing. Never really paid much attention to them or him.

 
Their first album is going in the grave with me. (along with something from Pink Floyd, Boston's 1st, G N' R's "Appetite" and probably something from Maiden...)

Loved them! And Mark Knopfler is the posterboy for:

Knopfler is a bad ass........period. That is also a fun tune to learn.

There is much truth to that pic.
 
Is it me, or does the way the bass has been mixed in that video really fill out the song? Such a great performance of a classic.

You should definitely change that. I love listening to his/their live performances. Have a listen to this while you're having the chills:
