No argument from me at all. I've been convinced for years.


I gotta agree; certainly when it comes to all around musicianship.

There is no one whose playing keeps so closely to the emotion of the song.

That album he did w/ Emmylou is in my top 5 favorite of all time. Just gorgeous.

Great post Starman.
I love Knopfler.

He is the 2nd greatest of all time.

SRV.

BTW, I've probably watched the video the OP posted a dozen times. The enjoyment never diminishes. Like listening to a true loony with a lifetime of experience talk about rifles . . .

I guess Mark Knopfler is a guitar loony?

Back in the 80’s Eric Clapton toured with Dire Straits. I saw their show at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Those two put on one hell of a show feeding off of each other, just jamming out.

Wild West End, Skateaway,....... the list goes on and on for this guitarist/songwriter genius.
While it's impossible to say he or anyone is 'the greatest of all time', Mark Knopfler is most definitely royalty.
Throw Mark Knopfler, SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, BB King, Albert King, Duane Allman, and Jimmy Page in a room. Pick the greatest. Good Luck....

I live in North Idaho and over the years have hunted a fair amount in Southern Idaho. Many times I've made that long drive through the night. My night driving music favorite is his 4th solo album Shangri-La. Always enjoy that part of the trip.

Eric Claptop is the most over rated guitar player on the planet

Used to wear the Making Movies album out.

No guitar pick here either, best guitarist out there currently in my opinion. Starts really getting down about the 5 min mark. Heck of a singer too...

Truly an amazing guy. Went to a couple Dire Straits concerts back in the day and saw Knopler in WA DC on the Privateering tour. As amazing he is on the guitar, he's a gifted songwriter and often the songs are of a historical bent that really resonates with me. For example, Done with Bonaparte about a soldier who has been injured, feels he's been led astray and is really ready to go home to France.


We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though death would be a sweet release
And our grande armée is dressed in rags
A frozen starving beggar band
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
Fall to fighting hand to hand

[Chorus]
Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte

What dreams he made for us to dream
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
The world was ours, we marched upon
Our little Corporal's command
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
My one true love awaits me still
The flower of the Aquitaine

This version with Emmy Lou

At the top of the heap! One thing that always impressed me about him is that he doe all that guitar stuff WHILE singing the lead vocals. The guitar playing just goes on automatic while singing and it doesn't suffer at all!
