The out solo on Telegraph Road is his best work, IMHO.
I won’t argue with that. Telegraph Road is probably my favorite Dire Straits song.
Yes, I remember listening to that through a set of good headphones - just amazing. Knopfler tends to favor the out-solo; his songs are mostly storytelling, followed by several minutes of astonishing guitar work. Speedway at Nazareth features another great solo; I think Mark's talent continues to improve.
Ditto “Telegraph Road”...and the album was Dire Straits’ best work.
