Magistral, puissant, superbe, cette version live de « Money for nothing » interprétée par Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Sting et Phil Collins – rien que ça – au Royal Albert Hall le 15 septembre 1997 (Music for Montserrat).

Vous pouvez sauter les deux premières minutes pendant lesquelles Mark Knopfler blablate.

Quelques plans impressionnants de la backline avec un orchestre symphonique et des dizaines de choristes vêtus dans le style gospel et une mention spéciale au joueur de tambourin à lunettes (le joueur, pas le tambourin) qui trippe grave sa race.

Enjoy !

Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That aim’s working that’s the way you do it
Money for nothing and chicks for free

Now that aim’s working that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell them guys and dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TV’s

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TV’s

I should a learned to play the guitar
I should a learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stick in the camera
Man we could have some fun

And he’s up there, what’s that? Hawaiian noises?
Banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That aim’s working that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TV’s

Now that aim’s working that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That aim’s working that’s the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free

Money for nothing and chicks for free
