That would be No Can Do

[Dutchessy]

Cool, so the riff of No Can Do is from '88.

Used on RAtR near the end on most versions.  Does also sound like No Can Do.

I never noticed about RATR featuring the same riff contrary to '88 that was instantly obvious to my ears.

same here! it is not quite as obvious as the EC example, but still...

[JF]

the 88 riff is exactly the same as No can Do (it was instantly obious to me too when I discovered EC's gigs some decades ago), but the lick played in RATR is just Mark's typical style with mute strings and chicken type notes, it is not the same riff imho

you can always hear similarities between licks here and there in differents songs, but it's not the same thing to use exaclty an old idea of a riff, or a melody some years later when you are composing a song

[Ingo]

No, the lick on RATR is the same!

Maybe you did not listen long enough:it starts about 7:54, and not at 7:45 as stated above

Thanks Jbaent for the link. I wonder whether there were also CE quotes in some Sunshine of your love performances from the same 87-89 era.
Gonna check it out as I'm pretty sure I heard the famous CE guitar descent riff in a Knopfler Clapton show.

So you knew it was 8 years before recording but did not know what exactly? Oh, and your caps lock is not working
