Maybe its because its associated with my teenage years but the song and the playing still get to me after all these decades.
Although the fashion faux pas of both Knopflers are quite eye watering.
I had the pleasure of meeting him on both the Love Over Gold and Brothers in Arms tours. He was an absolute gent and knew everything about his gear - and was more than happy to talk about it.
A massive talent....
touch that Pick Withers brings to his drumming.
I could never quite love the band in the same way after he left.
I think Knopfler had some doubts about him too - Omar Hakim played on a Brothers in Arms.
TW’s drumming really pushes the band and pulls them into an exciting band with lots of dynamics. There could be an element of nostalgia to these thoughts as the album was the soundtrack to my youth.
I’ve jammed with Terry a few times, a lovely player, obviously a lot older and not as on the money as he was on Alchemy but the touch, feel and talent still there in spades.
And it’s not a bad thing to have Jeff Porcaro and Omar Hakim as your replacements!!!!
Still have lower back problems now after having a young @simonbeckwith ;; on my shoulders for the gig at Ipswich football ground!
Gutted when they called it a day
So many great, memorable recordings Telegraph Road, Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms, etc etc, I dont think they recorded a bad track.....
One of the best live tracks for me Is Walk of Life with Paul Franlkins excellent Pedal Steel solo
That drumming from Terry Williams is spectacular. Just that I personally miss some of my favourite parts of favourite songs.
Definitley fair to say that without those huge changes in the band’s sound and image, I can’t see how they’d have gone on to be the global giants they were.
Wonderful drummer.
