Check this out - Dire Straits

[Stumplegriltskin]

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

 

[jammin1]

Great tune!

 

[Tone Monster]

Always loved that one! Bet those guys recorded the album cut in like 3 total takes or less. Great band.

 

[Stumplegriltskin]

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.

There is much truth to that pic.

 

[Bloodrock]

One of the best guitar songs ever written. Period.

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.

 

[thunda]

think he was playing through that Peavey Backstage amp?

Never really paid much attention to them or him.

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