Two Girls React To Dire Straits-Telegraph Road Live - ALCHEMY Tour 1983

Mark Knopfler is an incredible guitar player, he's one of the few that knows how to take you on a journey with just the volume knob , old school master 101.

I can't tell you how gratifying it is to me that you two young musicians have the patience, the attention span to fully appreciate this song!

Romeo and Juliet Live is a must.

I am a 70 year old English woman and had the joy of seeing DS live. When my friend and I went this was their encore after a 2 hour concert. We lost our voices for a week and though our hearts, brains and ears would never recover. Spell binding xxx

My boy Carlos Santana had a scare last night. I prayed all night for his recovery. Thank you God! YEE!!

Absolutely brilliant song. The lyrics, the Instrumental talent, the interplay of the instruments, the changing moods and tempo. The song takes me from tears to air guitar and air drums. Easily my favorite Dire Straits song and I'm a fan of all their music as well as Mark Knopfler's solo work.

The man with a sack on his back is Henry Ford and the rest of the song is about the rise and fall of Detroit City USA including the Ford Motor Company. It's about good times and bad and of course the words, music, arranging, singing and playing his guitar as only Mark Knopfler can, all his own work again. The dirty old track became the Telegraph Road. The mans a genius. He's 72 years old now and semi retired..

Yes, they don't play songs, they play stories. Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms, they all tell a story. You really can't go wrong with Dire Straits, they were consistently excellent. As for wishing that you had been born earlier, don't be so sure. There is a generation of musicians of your age that is starting to be noticed. For example, I suggest that you listen to Angelina Jordan, she just released a version of Suspicious Minds, as a tribute to Elvis Presley (the video is full of Elvis references, I don't even know how many, a lot) I mention her because; 1, she is a great singer, 2, she is 16 years old, 3, although she is from Norway she currently lives in LA (I think in Beverly Hills, you could potentially meet her) and most importantly, she has a little sister named Juliette. Please check her out, you won't be disappointed.

Tell that story……I’m listening…..play that guitar… I’m listening! Nice! Appealing! Keyboard right on …..captivating! I like the way you all are listening so intently!

MK... WORLD CLASS GUITARIST... as Good as there has been......... PS. Been a Fan of you two along time... Your observations... just get Better All the Time... your hearing things Ive never picked up on.... and IM OLD.... and have heard some of these songs you two cover for Decades... Good on Ya...Carry On... and Thank You!!!💙✌💚✌🧡✌❤

Great reaction. This is an epic song.

The lyrics always hit me hard. "All these signs saying 'Sorry, but we're closed'...." I hope you ladies work your way through this entire album. Every song is a powerhouse of words and music.

Woooooo great too see you 2. Great reaction.YEEE!🌹🌹

Adult stuff. Really feeds the sense of beauty beyond mere glamour. Good for you!! I was about your age when I first heard this. Few things have been on this level later in my life. All you have to do know is listen to "Tunnel of Love" and "Romeo and Juliet" from this same concert to have a really good idea of just how monumental this concert was, and still is.

Stumbled across this reaction because I grew up listening to Dire Straits, even had the pleasure of meeting Mark Knopfler when I was like 13... I still get chills listening to this live version of the song. It's amazing when you realize that the band was formed after Mark and his brother walked into a pub and heard a band playing and they thought to themselves, "I think we can do better than that." and the band was formed, Unreal!

I love this song!

YEE girls 😍 YEE Nation ❤️❤️Loved it great reaction. You girls are magic

Thank you ladies That was the encore! You just can't follow it! As I said in the Sultans reaction, I was there, the whole band were amazing, Alan Clark, keys, was the star of this performance, John Illsley on the bass was really enjoying himself so much. Hal Lindes back up guitar, superb. My favourite of the whole gig, apart from mark, Terry Williams on the drums! I really enjoyed your reaction, I'll watch it again for sure! Mia is right the music was better then, thanks for making me feel old! I was just turned 18 when I went to this gig, I think you don't appreciate it at the time so much, so thanks for reacting to it. I still get goosebumps 39 years later!

Thanks for listening to this masterpiece ladies. I personally think Telegraph Road is the best song ever written. I listen to this song at least once a week, it never gets boring. Kind regards from the Netherlands

Without a doubt,one of the best,and most articulate guitar players in the world 👍
