Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing

[RazorbackExpat]

Somehow this song from the '80s makes me indescribably melancholy

4. Loved The First 2 Albums

They had a unique sound, & Knopfler was playing in a style nobody else used.
I lost interest when Mark bought a distortion box. I don't think his technique works without a clean tone.
My wife & I saw them on the Communique tour at The Uptown Theater in Chicago. By pure luck we had 6th row center seats, so we were 25' from Mark all night.
They opened with Lady Writer & closed with Sultans. I don't remember what they did for their encore.
Really good show.

6. Oldie stations play this a lot. It is fabulous. There needs to be more diversity on oldie stations.
