Well folks, let's face it. This is one of the greatest songs in the history of rock and roll. As a lifelong devotee of listening to epic rock and its guitarists (First rock concert I ever saw was Cream in '68, second was The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Nov. '68) I speak, well, from experience. I've seen many other greats live, but this guy, I mean how many players can construct a solo like this that builds tension for so long? The lad is a bit of a genius, I declare. And seriously, the entire band is absolutely killing it.

@@ronhall9039 I get a real kick out of telling folks that I saw Hendrix and Cream live in '68. One of the things I remember about the Experience show is when Jimi was introducing one of the big hits like Foxy Lady he said "This is where we were a million years ago, but I know this is what you want to hear". Electric Ladyland had just come out and you could hear that he wanted to move on musically, but the fans wanted the "old" stuff. Joni Mitchell once said "They hate you if you change and they hate you if you stay the same. You can't win, so I decided to go ahead and change". (Paraphrased). Only saw her once but was lucky (again) that it was the tour she did with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and other great jazz musicians. When Jaco took his solo slot he was playing some amazingly beautiful stuff, quite soft and subtle, when some clown in the audience shouted "Get it on!" (The rest of the audience was being respectfully silent). The look on Jaco's face would have killed the guy, if looks could kill. Not much of today's music grabs me, although I must say that Buckethead is the most amazing musician I've ever heard in my life. Check him out if you haven't already.

@@Cloxxki The songwriter typically shows the chord progression to the other musicians and lets them know the "mood" he wants to create. Good, creative players, at least most of the time would listen, "feel" it out, fall into it and play until it worked. I would guess this is what takes place in the beginning here (there's no sax so I'm assuming you're referring to the flute part). Beyond that, I'm guessing, by watching Knopfler here, he's almost acting as an orchestra leader in a way, as he turns to the other musicians to cue, approve or whatever.

The Telegraph Road is a major north-south 70 mile thoroughfare in Michigan. Mark Knopfler was inspired to write this song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road. Back then, Knopfler was reading “The Growth of the Soil” (1917), a novel by the Nobel Prize (1920) winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, and he felt compelled to put the two together and compose a piece about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades. This was a metaphor for the development of America and the ruining of one man’s dream in the wake of its decline. “Telegraph Road” (1982) clocks in at 14:15‼️ 💚🎵💙

Me and my friend went to a place to play pool in the 90's and they had this music box and every time we'd play Telegraph Road and the guys who knew us were "not again a 15 minute track" but they ended loving the shit out of Dire Straits thanks to it, I'm talking in a place north Argentina where local style music is popular. Anyway, I always love to find what Mark's doing lately and I love that he's still playing and there's always a great solo from him.

Of course, they did release two 4-5 minute single versions, so that’s probably what got most of the airplay. I’m sure the MTV video had much to do with that as well. But the rest of that album is where the good stuff is, and none of it is the type of stuff that’s likely to be played anywhere but “Classic Rock” and “Album Oriented Rock” stations.

Always thought this to be one of his best works. Love how the last part of the song is just one big jam session. It's like a beautiful 3 way dance between the drums, piano, and his unmatched guitar playing.

10/20/2022 With every tune there is a story. With every story there is an experience or a history. That is what you get with Mark Knopfler, every time. Be it Sultans of Swing, Single Handed Sailor, Sailing to Philadelphia, or Telegraph Road. All of it tied together with some of the best guitar picking you will ever find anywhere. It's just sad that he had to stop. I sure hope he's well, we don't need to loose another great right now. You have to have experienced his live concerts to really appreciate his music (mine was his first US tour with Dire Straits) ;-)

Making Movies wore out more record deck needles than I’d care to remember. Tunnel of Love refers to a ride in a fair ground , Spanish City in a north eastern seaside town,Whitley Bay. Dust and Diesel, and first dates. Thank you Mark. I’m heading to Christie’s with my piggy bank 31/01/2024. ;-)

A far better version was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in July 1983 during the Alchemy tour. I was there and it was epic. The 13+ minute track appears on the Alchemy LP, and is a fixture on my favourite composition playlist. I might be old, but at least I saw all the great bands.
