To me, Dire Straits is arguably one of the best bands to come out of the United Kingdom and can easily hold their ground against the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. And Sultans of Swing is the song that put them permanently on the charts and in our hearts.

Here they're playing the classic song as part of Live Aid in 1985, in order to provide humanitarian relief for the Ethiopian famine. They are playing in Wembley Stadium in London.
