Speedway at Nazareth
15th December 2009
It’s well known my own predilection for Mark Knopfler’s great music.
This time I’d like to share Speedway at Nazareth (from his second solo record Sailing to Philadelphia).
It’s an intense piece of music, especially when live played, and the last minutes spread so much energy: Mark playing his own style, the fast rolling drum, moving bass line plus the Hammond that adds some additional arabesques.
A powerful stream of notes enclosed in a perfect and elegant sequence!
This is the final part of the song played live at Royal Albert Hall (30th May 2005).
I’ve decided to share this one due to good audio and video quality but I’m really sorry about the watermark; the video’s author seems a little too much jealous of his own good work to let us fully relish the great stuff!
Well, I like it anyhow!
