Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits medley of 4

Community Recordings Audio-Video Of You Playing
1

Hi,
I have recorded a number of MK/DS songs that I love, in instrumental versions. For this medley I chose four that haven’t been particularly popular (except the second one, perhaps).
So they are the following:
0:00 - 1:12 - My Parties (On Every Street);
1:13 - 2:12 - Private Investigations (Love Over Gold)
2:13 - 3:37 - El Macho (Sailing To Philadelphia)
3:38 - 4:53 - Baloney Again (Sailing To Philadelphia)

The recordings are parts of the original songs; without a vocal line I didn’t want to make them too long and boring. For Baloney Again I played the intro and my impro over the verse chords. BTW, the song contains some really beautiful chords I hadn’t suspected MK would ever use (such as C7/9/#11).
I played the songs in their original keys: G, em, em, bm, respectively.
Thanks so much for listening.

Super stuff Tomasz. You really caught the MK vibe in that melody.
I’d love you to video your performance as I enjoy watching people play.

Gordon - thanks a lot, I appreciate your comment very much. As regards the video performance, I’ve been thinking of it for some time now, but (1) I need to sort out my health problems (quite serious, it turns out) (2) acquire equipment suitable for filming/recording with the kind of quality I’m after. Anyway, the idea itself is really worth consideration.

That was a well chosen set sir ! Can’t beat some MK/DS and they were all well played. Tone was sweet and just right for the collection. Thanks for sharing. :+1:
