I especially liked how they (Michael Mann?) synchronized the thunderclap in the song with the door slamming on the car.

That whole “A Night In London” concert that clip is from is beautiful. It used to be on YouTube, but seems to have been removed, and replaced with something else under the same name but not as lush.

Yeah, it is horrible. i was in a hurry and grabbed it off utube. There are a lot more there, just search “brothers in arms miami vice”. My connection is slow right now.

Mark Knopfler > Eric Clapton

Add one star for the video of Romeo and Juliet...

Terrible audio on that video, but you get a star because you managed to bring it around as a car reference.

When I was in HS in the 80’s, I dated this girl with a really dumb older brother. He had all his albums alphabetized, but he had Van Halen under “H” because he thought it was a dude named Van Halen - first name Van last name Halen. I said, no, Van Halen is the last name of the guitarist and drummer Eddie and Alex and…

Have a cigar star.

The immortal line from Pink Floyd: "So which one's Pink?"

At one time my aunt thought Van Halen was a person, rather than a band.

This is the correct take.

Yes.  It kept me going many times, back in the day.  Mark GETS IT, man!

Great movie, with a young Dr. Who (Peter Capaldi, a minor guitar god in his own right) in a great supporting role.

I have to be careful listening to it or I start bawling.

i prefer the theme to the film Local Hero myself

It’s a damn fine song.

Start your week with a heartbreaking Mark Knopfler solo :

This is my favorite song of all time.
