Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on YouTube, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on YouTube. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on YouTube, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

This is a reaction video used to educate and give my feedback on the song and artists.

  • And THAT is how you give a live performance! No gizmos, no doo-dads, just pure musical ability and joy in what they deliver to an audience. Phenomenal!
  • @mikewoodrow5878
    Knopfler’s finger-picking’ style is so clean - the entire band was so tight at this time in their career.
  • @TriptoCo
    This audience had no idea how fortunate that they would be that night. Once in a lifetime concert!
  • @truckrboat
    Perhaps the greatest live performance of any song ever, top 5 for sure!!
  • @davidholwell2060
    As a 60 year old man,watching yourself react to this,reminds me so much of my first time. Watch this again when your my age. It will still give you goosebumps.
  • @elaines5750
    This performance has been touted as the best ever live rock performance. Hard to disagree with this. Why? Because each musician is a consummate musician unto himself. And their ability to blend so well together is phenomenal.
  • @ngervat
    Knopfler is no question one of the top 5 guitarists of all time, but he gets almost no recognition. Actually got to meet him in the late 80's, and he gave me a signed copy of the soundtrack to "The Princess Bride" which he did all the music for.
  • @kmach1000
    I never get tired of listening to this❤
  • @dh5697
    The best live performance of all time in my opinion
  • @TenCapQuesada
    "Tears of joy.." Exactly my reaction as well. And aren't we all so thankful that this was preserved for us for all time on film?
  • @Sdeburca2012
    Terry Williams' (Drummer) father was in the audience - he had never seen his son play. That's why Terry Williams was on fire that night!!!!
  • @HelynnHeels
    💖MARK 💖 turns his guitar into a vocalist. He is totally amazing. And this live performance .... just exquisite. Everyone just on point. Terry's drums, as ferocious as he plays, never overrides the sound. Notice 2 keyboardists, too. And that one on the right...keeps up the high energy even when he's not playing. Too cool.
  • @liatherose6275
    This was the golden age of rock and roll. So much talent, so much heart. I’m sorry that the generations after me haven’t heard so much of this. There will never be songs like this again.
  • @dongubelman2283
    There is absolutely nothing to compare to that style of guitar playing...your emotion nailed it, ...tears of joy knowing you just watched history Well done
  • @M00159
    SO GLAD you saw this!! Other reactors react to this song, but they don’t react to this ALCHEMY live performance. They do the studio version instead, and you can’t compare the two. This is one of the best live performances you will ever see.
  • @adam.4487
    For me it's all about the drums and the drummer, and yes Mark is awesome on the guitar. :) But the drummer killed, that energy! Hold s$it
  • @mythicsin3083
    This is the version to show. Not the chopped version most show. Bravo
  • @ndivi499
    I'm 60 and this is by far the best live performance ever recorded [IMO]. Love how you reacted and appreciate the musicianship of the artist. Reminds me of my 16yr old self hearing this for the 1st time on my car radio. It blew me away. Everything on the Alchemy album is great, try "Tunnel of Love" next. Another song with epic solo.
