That version of Sultans of Swing is a contender for greatest guitar solo of all time IMO

It comes around every few months on Sky Arts, I've still not watched it from last time around 😳

(My cassette copy got a lot of wear in mid eighties).

Never seeing Dire Straits live is one of my main concert regrets, I was just a bit too young. We took my Dad to see Mark Knopfler a few years ago, they did the main Dire Straits hits which was good enough for me.

One of the best live albums ever released.
Sublime version of sultans, my highlight was always tunnel of love. Just an amazing piece of guitar playing.

I think I could still remember which guitar he used on which track... Bit sad really!
