I didn't know I needed this.
This performance blew my mind! @theofficialsting and @direstraitsofficial deliver a dose of exhilarating energy.
@MarkKnopfler on Gibson guitar here truly surprised me with the rock'n'roll sound and style of play.
I hope you can tell by my reaction how much I was taken by this performance.
Enjoy my music reaction and analysis!

The reason i like reaction videos is to see people react to music that i love, but is usually at least 30 years old

All you had to do play the tambourine with Dire Straits is be a brilliant saxophonist/flutist/keyboardist/vocalist and whatever else the band needed like Chris White :)

The thing that will never be the same is how big a part of people's lives and identities music was back then. No video games, no internet, the only way to choose your art was to buy a book or an album. The radio and TV choose what you consume for you, but we could choose our own music to buy and so it became special.

Sting was on the original studio album track. He was also given a co-writing credit, with his vocal resembling 'Don't Stand So Close to Me'. .. Just FYI.

I envy people who were in their 20-30 at the time. This music is a real treasure.

Ive never really heard someone put their finger on why I watch reaction videos!! Makes sense! Keep them coming!!

One thing that really stands out to me watching your Dire Strait reaction videos is how much fun the band seems to be having playing together and making music. A lot of times the members will smile at one another and at the camera as they feel the groove. A lot of bands today seem to be filled with a lot of despair and anger. These guys were having fun.

I think , in part, the on stage energy comes from not only the marvellous musicians, but the endless rehearsal, Mark’s perfectionism, and also Mark’s generosity and lack of ego encouraging his band mates to express themselves allowing them to shine as individual musicians as well as being integral parts of the whole, the band. Just delightful!

I am feeling what you were feeling!This was an extraordinary day,never to be repeated, all thanks to the vision& sheer bloodymindness of Bob Geldof & of course all of the artists involved.And the Sun shone all day!

Yes! to all you said about reaction videos; exactly why I watch them. And as you now know, Yes, Mark really is this good. (Sting, too.)

Sting is singing I want my MTV. What was the special energy? The whole day was buzzing with special energy and it infected every band.

I think you just nailed what I like about reaction videos, it is older me reliving the sheer enjoyment through a younger person's eyes and them discovering the music I grew up on. Another really good reaction.

There are also nice versions of MFN with Eric Clapton ( numerous gigs from 1988-1990 plus the one from Concert for Montserrat 1997 with Sting as well plus Phil Collins on drums

Great reaction, this is such a fun watch. I love the story behind the song. Mark overhead a couple of delivery men in a store in the US looking at mtv on the TV and saying these lines. He had to get a pen from the cashier to note them down. This song reminds me of my 80s childhood! 🎉

"The guy with the tambourine" is saxophonist Chris White. He also plays flute on Brothers In Arms.

This was Live Aid in 1985, a series of concerts to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia with Wembley Stadium in London and the John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia being the two primary venues. It was seen by nearly 2 billion people! Bob Geldof, who organised it along with Midge Ure, was desperate to get Dire Straits on board as the headline act in order to persuade others to sign on. That's how huge they were at that time with their Brothers in Arms album on its way to selling over 30m copies and becoming the first CD to sell a million and this track, Money For Nothing, having topped the US Billboard Chart.
There was just one problem; Dire Straits were in the middle of a massive year long sold out world tour and were scheduled to play one of a number of nights at Wembley Arena that same night. They felt they couldn't let down the fans who'd bought tickets, so they agreed to play Live Aid in the afternoon. After completing their sound check at the Arena they literally walked across the car park with their instruments to perform at the Stadium before returning to the Arena for their evening gig.
Despite only performing two songs, this one and Sultans of Swing, their 20 minute set was the longest time on stage of any act that day. They received a rapturous reception as you can see on this video and put in a great performance. However the next band on was Queen and with Freddie Mercury at the top of his game their performance is the one most remembered.

I was there for that day it was absolutely amazing

Fun story, the guy in the red coat is named Jack Sonni. not too long before this, he was working at a guitar shop in New York before Mark asked him to join Dire Straits. a month later, he's playing in front of 600 million people for this performance at Live Aid.

I grew up with these songs and saw this performance live on TV. It’s great to see your emotional reaction to this video. It takes me back to the days when I discovered the Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler 40 years ago…

Those who don't know Mark released a new album that called ONE DEEP RIVER. highly recommend. The album is very different from the songs of Dire Straits but very special.
