This man taught himself to be one of the best guitarists in history way before the internet. Pure raw genius and drive.

I watch this with a heavy heart as, to me, it signifies the end of an era of some of the finest music the world has ever heard. With Knopfler's music I thought we would all live forever. God bless you Mark Knopfler.

I could listen to Mark speak all day and night. For all the success and money he's seen over the years, what a truly humble man he is. A real legend.

Tremendous guitarist, fantastic storyteller, brilliant lyricist, a good and generous man. I'm so grateful I got to see him live on the 2019 concert tour. The man's talent makes my heart sing.

To this day, Sultans Of Swing from Alchemy Live, in my mind, is the best live performance from Dire Straits EVER!

Some of those pieces should rest in a kind of museum of modern music ā¤

To me, there is no other guitarist who's written and performed so much brilliant music, storytelling included, as Mark Knopfler. Do peolpe fail to understand the vastness of his talent or why isn't he more rewarded, nowadays? Moreover, he has always come across as a truly kind and humble person. š« What a marvelous musician he is. ššš¶āļø

Excellent. So good to hear him speak at length. Some real insights there.
When i was very young (in the 60's) there was a sound coming out of our radio that intrigued me. It turned out to be the electric guitar. Once i found that out i had a guitar at the top of my christmas list every year. I never got one (things were tight in my household).
Soon as i started work i bought myself a second hand teico with microphonic pick ups and spent nights trying to sound like the Shadows, Burt Weedon, and Duane Eddy.
Then one day at work the radio was playing. I hadn't been a great fan of punk - i liked the energy but it just wasn't musical enough for me. Anyway pumping out of the radio was 'The Sultans of Swing'. It struck me silent. The pure and strong rhythm aligned with the crystal clear fender sound was ecstasy to me. And so began a journey of trying to sound like Mark Knopfler. A huge task but it was a sound i simply had to recreate for myself whenever i wanted.
I was in the crowd at Hammersmith Odeon in 1983, the night Alchemy was recorded, 23 years old and utterly blown away by what was happening right in front of me. It was like a dream. I was 8 rows from the front and i could feel the notes of John Illsleys bass thumping me in the chest. My senses were alive and i heard every single guitar note with a clarity i'd never known before and i shouted myself hoarse begging for more.
Cut to today. I have a fender Tele, a strat and a gibson les paul. And almost every night i go to my spare room for half an hour, sometimes more, and fire them up through an old HH amplifier and i blast my ear drums. Often i play old Dire Straits songs. I can actually give myself that buzz i had 40 years ago at Hammersmith odeon. My fingers are playing them same notes and something deep inside me feels so spiritually satisfied.
Mark Knopfler/ Dire Straits gave me so much. And i'm so pleased i saw them about 5 times. The Tunnel of love solo still gives me chills after all these years. Awesome !!!

I saw him live once, in small venue in the Bay Areaā¦ by the end of the show I was moved to tears, deeply touched by the simplicity and beauty of his music and the connection I felt with him that night. He was clearly grateful for the opportunity to make a living from the art that comes through him and for his audienceās appreciation of his music.
I can still feel his humility and it touches me deeply.
Thank you Markā¦ the words fall short, but they need to be spoken. š

The Man of iconic legend in the world music history. He wrapped this planet with love&happiness, comfort&togetherness within those breathtaking and mind-blowing guitar sound and incredible singing stories that became as trademarks and milestones in human lives. Dire Straits forever! My sincere, heartfelt wishes of health, passion, patience and persistence to Mark. All the best from Ukraine!

How lucky many of our generation are to grow up with Dire Straits and Markās music. About 12 years old I became a fan and bought the first album and stayed with them through to Brothers in Arms and seen them live many times in those years. I have to admit I went off them a bit with songs like Money for Nothing and Calling Elvis. But this band had total classics like Lady Writer, Romeo and Juliet, the Tunnel of Love, Sultans of Swing, Telegraph Road and more and so Mark definitely goes down as a rock legend. The theme tune from Local Hero also gets me every time. And I greatly admire that Mark ended up writing and playing the type of music that he enjoyed, even if by then it wasnāt for me. Thank you for sharing your genius with us Mark. šš

When I was 14 or so I got a cassette tape from a guy in class, he said you listen to this, the Brothers in arms album, and I remember thinking that this was the first time I really heard music. Thank you Mark Knopfler.

Mark helped save rock n roll for me in the late 70s when I was despairing about the state of rock. Eternally grateful for the man and his wonderful music.

My mother passed in her 80ās. Alzheimerās. Before she was deep into she fell in love with Brothers In Arms, the song and the album. When she was deep into the illness she still loved it. You would see her go that place. Good vision being important, I canāt listen to it while driving. On behalf of my Mother and myself, thanks Mark.
