My son of 15 years old heard this on one of my cd's Now all my Dire straits and Knopfler cd's and dvd's have moved from my listening room to his room So proud...!!!
I'm aboriginal I grow up listening 🎧.... to this songs ✌️👍♥️😎💤... right in the middle of Australia desert bush remote community... central Australia......the best guitarist Mark....K....... you are truly best 💪🔥👍😎....
I'm an American white guy and I love Mark's music. I'd love to listen to it with you, we have more in common than we do different. Cheers from Virginia.
I've been in love with this tune since the first time I heard it nearly 40 years ago. Every time I hear him play it, the hairs on my neck stand up, I get goose bumps, a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes - all of them signs of joy. It is just so beautiful and celebratory. When I'm dead, and they burn what's left behind, let them play this to see me off. And tell them to play it loud - so I can hear it one last time: them big gas burners are right noisy 👍
What terrible thing to think while Iistening to this its full of joy some people are dead when then are still alive enjoy the fantastic sound it's not the right time to think about these things listen to the music that's what plays for so enjoy his talent he plays for his own pleasure but us to listen
An anthem for Geordies all over the world. It's that feeling when you get back home in Newcastle by train across that Tyne Bridge. Those who know, know.
That’s a big call, but he is one of the very best performer / composers of the the last hundred years plus. He is an absolute master at arranging his music. This is sublime.
Going home tomorrow to Scotland from Australia to see family for first time in almost 4 years…..covid has been part of the problem. Playing this song non stop this week…tearing up every time. Going to surprise them all and just turn up for Easter. Can’t wait.
No. I thank his parents. Take your magic beans and get thee to a nunnery, God-boy; kindly leave the real world with its real people and real events to those with the wit to appreciate it. No offence... ;-)
First heard this live, Mark Knopfer, Dire Straits Brothers in arms tour, when Hank Marvin came on stage to play it with them..... think it was Hammersmith Palais, 1985..... absolutely superb, never to be forgotten
Unmatched as a player and without peers in ability to compose soul stirring music that is so joyous and beautiful! His songs are full of lyrics that paint pictures , with words . A superb talent!
In Eastern culture, it's sometimes said the music is the food for soul. And this proves it! MK has some wizardry to reach souls with music and touch finer senses. Standing ovation 👏🏼.
I saw him in concert las 2019 in Pamplona Spain..no words to describe he is 71 years but his músic músic timeless...one of the best of all times ...long life Mr. KNOFPLER
If you want to know and see what "genius" looks and sounds like, listen to this composition from Mark Knopfler. He is cut from a totally different class of a fabric, above and beyond mere mortals. I heard this tune decades ago and still get a lump in my throat when I hear it. It's incredible that so many emotions can be squeezed into a guitar ... only MK is capable of doing that. Also give an applause to the amazing band he has!
Yep I've told my family to take me home with this song at my funeral! I love this so much - I hope my kids love it too! This makes me cry every bloody time I hear it!
Soooooo many exceptional guitarists out there...I'm a metal and blues fan...but very very few have the touch, feel and emotion of mark...I would love to see him and david Gilmour do a collaboration of some sort....that would be WOW..😎👍👌
MK the greatesr muscian, song writer and guitar player anywhere in the world. His body of work, which spans more than 50 years speaks for itself. Long Live Mark Knopfler!!!!!
This number takes me back to the times I worked away from home when crossing a certain bridge on the motorway and all the familiar landmarks were shown.I knew then I was truly "Going Home"
Brings back memories of Pennan from Local hero, beautiful village, been there dozens of times. If your in Banffshire go and visit, you’ll fall in love with it, Mark does the music justice, brilliant guitarist.
I first saw Local Hero when I was eighteen and ever since then I have wanted to visit Pennan, it became sort of a lifetime goal... only some forty years later was I able to ride my bike all the way from Athens, Greece up to this magical village. It was the most memorable journey of my life, and I owe it all to this film and MK's superb music... I am so grateful!
@@ngfour61 so glad that you got to see Pennan, it’s a beautiful village, as I said I’ve been there lots of times. Great film and fantastic music by Mark.
It always makes me cry. So wistful, so yearning. And that ringing from the phone box on the empty pier, which it's likely no one will answer. Yes, the film "Local Hero" is where I first heard this, and it's that bittersweet closing image that remains in my mind, and colors my interpretation of the piece.
That Beautiful guitar piece Going Home, MUST have come out of Heaven, Straight to the hands of Mark! WOW! What a GIFT!!!!! This So Powerful piece of Mark’s reminded me seeing a film of a Spitfire desperately limping back home after a big battle, and this guitar piece fits a film Perfectly. A Great entrance Display guitar piece for The Breightling Fighters of Warbird aircraft. The guitarist in the Check shirt looks just like my long lost friend Derek Hayes. Would anyone be able to let me know if he is Derek Hayes from Wales. Last time we met was 1990. I miss Derek, a jolly good friend. We lost touch as I was in hospital for 13 months. Thank you Mr Diamond fingers Mark Knopflier. Best wishes to you. JB. Surrey. UK.
Best guitar player on the planet.......modern day music no one can lay a glove on him.
This was played at my sons funeral in Newcastle. Wonderful.x
@Audrey Samuels 💕🫶💕

i want it played at mine too..but not a newcastle fan lol..
I'm sorry for your loss. But what a fabulous send off. X
Sorry for your son's lost,
My son of 15 years old heard this on one of my cd's Now all my Dire straits and Knopfler cd's and dvd's have moved from my listening room to his room So proud...!!!
Same here..my 16 year old was in awe ..from my car cd player...he loves the early DS stuff....
It is so nice when the young generations inherit good from the elders.
Wicked, you just can’t buy that. 👏👏👏👏
It's music for a sweet paradise of all the world
Quality music spans the generations
I'm aboriginal I grow up listening 🎧.... to this songs ✌️👍♥️😎💤... right in the middle of Australia desert bush remote community... central Australia......the best guitarist Mark....K....... you are truly best 💪🔥👍😎....

I’ve loved it since the first time I have herd it 35 years ago
yeah, in the end of the film when the telephone booth rings in ferness...

I agree with everything you said.

I Have asked my son to play this incredible song at my funeral
An anthem for Geordies all over the world. It's that feeling when you get back home in Newcastle by train across that Tyne Bridge. Those who know, know.
I don't know THat home coming but I have the same when entering NIjmegen by train across the bridge on the river Waal
Ah Nah :)
I believe it's more for Scots written by a Scot.
Paul Graham: Hello fellow railfan!
@@gijzje Hello fellow railfan!
No one can ever convince me that music can get better than this.
The cadences of the music of the Scottish people woven into his own unique and beautiful creation...perfectly played.A gem of popular music.
Played local hero at my dads funeral....a true Geordie.......thanks
They MUST play this beautiful song on my funeral.
He is not a Geordie he is Scottish born in Glasgow, they moved because of his father's work
The best guitarist in the world. His guitar playing is exceptional. Love him. I could listen to him all day long.
That’s a big call, but he is one of the very best performer / composers of the the last hundred years plus. He is an absolute master at arranging his music. This is sublime.
Jill Hamilton - I couldn't agree more. A guitarist with no equal as far as I'm concerned!
Top 10 in my book. if he’s your FAV, more power to ya
@@beagle7622 Ii
Age is nothing but a number. Every bit as good as in his prime.
What an amazing performance. Every time i listen to him, i am transported to another world and I dont want to come out of it.
Brilliant
It's not just music. It's what dreams are made of.
Ah but we must. You can most of the time go back !!!!! It's great!!!!!
Ganning ower the tyne bridge maybe 😊💞
brilliant guy love his music....................jt
One of the most beautiful pieces of music of my lifetime. I am in awe of the talent of Knopfler every time I hear him play.
Thank you, Mark. Thank you so much.
That Tune just works....
It says so much... I feel such unusual emotions hearing it...
It says so much...
Thank you Mark Knopfler...
Going home tomorrow to Scotland from Australia to see family for first time in almost 4 years…..covid has been part of the problem.

His playing carries u to another place...beautiful place
Absolutely.
Thanks God for giving us Mark
Halleluya.

@@mpergn agree
No. I thank his parents. Take your magic beans and get thee to a nunnery, God-boy; kindly leave the real world with its real people and real events to those with the wit to appreciate it.
No offence... ;-)
@@EleanorPeterson Why not his grandfathers and so long? When you stop?
Mark , You are my hero ! from korea !

‼️
👊🔥

If you are fortunate enough in your final hour to have the angels of mercy come for you, I'll bet you'll hear Mark Knopfler playing in the background.
Sends shivers down my spine every time I hear this. This is Newcastle!!
Yes crossing the Tyne coming home is so special
Born in Glasgow 😊
@@ryanconnelly9397 it took you 2 years to come up with that😂😂😂😂
First heard this live, Mark Knopfer, Dire Straits Brothers in arms tour, when Hank Marvin came on stage to play it with them..... think it was Hammersmith Palais, 1985..... absolutely superb, never to be forgotten
I could listen to this every day and never get tired of it
That’s a great idea. I think I’m going to do that, beginning with this play.❤
Gracias maestro
I can't get enough of this song. I'm obsessed with it.
Same. I guess you listened to the A Night in London version.
It's just perfect.
Not a bad place to be,personally speaking.
The best guitarist in the world. Fantastic. Great Mark.
SIMPLY THE BEST . THANK YOU, MARK. AMAZING

눈물이나네요 마크노플러도 나이를 먹는군요
너무감동입니다
If heaven has a waiting room, I guarantee it’ll be playing Mark Knopfler for everyone ♥️
You better get born again then
💗💗💗
Mark Rules !
How Lovely ...but I am very sorry for your loss .
Only 3 words to describe his talent..”Simply The Best”

Love you, Mark. You "Marked" my life. Thanks.
Reminds me of the 80's. Qantas used to play this as you boarded the plane from Heathrow heading back down under
Qantas were very good at using Music until the Irish mathematician got his greedy hands on it.
Yep I've told my family to take me home with this song at my funeral! I love this so much - I hope my kids love it too! This makes me cry every bloody time I hear it!
Just a wonderful, wonderful version!
There's something wrong either with this tune or myself - every time brings tears to my eyes for the last 40 years.
P
Dire straits forever. Well done Mark.
Dire straits tellement bien, merci pour tout ce que vous m'avez apporté. Jamais vous ne vieillirez👍👍👍👍👍
Hallo Mark Knopfler wat een prachtig nummer is dit toch. Ontzettend mooi om naar je te blijven luisteren.😊😊
My favorite musician of all times
Yes yes yes
I never get tired of hearing this piece. Just the introduction sends shivers up my spine.. Best ever!
I love how it builds up.
Pure Beauty
Great, I still ha original tape of "Local Hero" soudtrack. No seen this movie for a loong time, but still listening to the tape at times.
Pure genius and a fellow Geordie
glaswegian geordie :) yeah genius w/ heart
Simply Beautiful.
Every time I hear this I just think of my friends from the 529th MP COMPANY that are so dear in my heart.
Soooooo many exceptional guitarists out there...I'm a metal and blues fan...but very very few have the touch, feel and emotion of mark...I would love to see him and david Gilmour do a collaboration of some sort....that would be WOW..😎👍👌
Like so many of Marks best tunes, it has a melancholy tune to it. And of course His brilliant guitar play.
MARK KNOPFLER GOAT
MK the greatesr muscian, song writer and guitar player anywhere in the world. His body of work, which spans more than 50 years speaks for itself. Long Live Mark Knopfler!!!!!
Thank you, Mark Knopfler!!
AMAZING
No 1 guitar genius.
🤗🤩
old claw hand playing our national anthem, gan on son, what a magical guitarist you are.
Humblessness and greatness.
Such gifts bestowed upon this man...
I could only dream to walk in his shoes and live a full life like his.
Just watch, listen & learn and ENJOY with shivers down my spine.
There is class,and this absolute. You can't buy this it's Not For Sale. Timeless and Priceless.
The man is a genius 👍
This number takes me back to the times I worked away from home when crossing a certain bridge on the motorway and all the familiar landmarks were shown.I knew then I was truly "Going Home"
LOVE IT that he still wears that wristband :-)
Has that grand feel as Bonamassa's "Django".
Love to listen to them alternately.
His playing leaves me speechless,
Why has it took me till a couple of years ago to appreciate this genius omg that guitar
This was played at a friend's funeral. He was a local hero. It brought me to my knees, and I have cried every time I have heard it since.
Brings back memories of Pennan from Local hero, beautiful village, been there dozens of times. If your in Banffshire go and visit, you’ll fall in love with it, Mark does the music justice, brilliant guitarist.

@@ngfour61 so glad that you got to see Pennan, it’s a beautiful village, as I said I’ve been there lots of times. Great film and fantastic music by Mark.
I was there. This recording is real good, live it was far better!
Thanks, Mark Knopfler, for all the wonderful music in the 70ies and 80ies!
It always makes me cry. So wistful, so yearning. And that ringing from the phone box on the empty pier, which it's likely no one will answer. Yes, the film "Local Hero" is where I first heard this, and it's that bittersweet closing image that remains in my mind, and colors my interpretation of the piece.
This is such a lovely careful song, from a lovely careful man. I get goosebumps just hearing the beginning...
The KING!❤
Mark plays the guitar like he is riding a bike! No effort at all. It’s amazing!
Worlds best musician , well done mark 👌🏻
the one from the movie is a banger. This one is even better
Always give me goosebumps
That's my funeral song plus green eyes by Chris coldplay xx just putting out there xx
Going home is probably a more sensitive song, even when Mark injects more Gaelic folklore it sounds imposing. I always get chills,.
I love this gentle Man.
Amazing footage and a wonderful performance.
Thank you so much for giving us all the opportunity to view it. 🙂👌🏻👍🏻
Tears.....is this the Geordie spirit I hear in the music? So powerful, it touches my core.
Mark was born in glasgow
@@markdon8940 and was adopted at the age of 7 by the Geordie Nation ;)
@@markdon8940 His mother was a Geordie and the family moved back there when he was very young
No hay palabras para calificar a este genio. Saludos desde España.
Mi sento piccola.. Di fronte a tanta bellezza...😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💔💔💋💯💯🍀🌅
I am unsure why but this made me cry
thank you ol man. for everything
There is nothing better than that crossing the Tyne facing north, feeling. Pure Magic.
Grandsons of Geordies are at home with this music no matter where in the world you are
I'm amazed this concert wasn't professionally filmed. But the sound is spot on! Not sure how he managed that ...
I was at this concert. Two rows back. Legendary. Thanks
That Beautiful guitar piece Going Home, MUST have come out of Heaven, Straight to the hands of Mark! WOW! What a GIFT!!!!!
