Theme song from the movie.....LOCAL HERO !! If you love Scotland, you will LOVE this movie--gorgeous scenery, music by Mark Knopfler. Starring Burt Lancaster, Peter Capaldi, Peter Reichart, Jenny Seagrove, and more. Lovely movie. They played this at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo that I went to in either 1996 or 97. Theme of Braveheart at beginning of Tattoo, Skye Boat song also played, but this......this song has my heart.
I've seen the movie on somewhere and i remember the video quality were really bad but did not mind it at all the movie atmosphere and feeling was amazing i loved it. And would love to found it somewhere again and again
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Devon Abraham i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@@michaelbiggs1254.....Hi Michael Thank you for informing me that Going Home was written by an English man...just goes to show that The Brits and The Irish and The Scots are all brothers under the Celtic branch,...with descendents Here in the Great USA....
Heard this at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Melbourne Australia in 2016, I distinctly remember the feeling of my body being covered in goosebumps and the emotions it brought about and decided that this was going to be the song to be played on my final journey back home to my family members that have passed before me.
I was fortunate enough to land in Edinburgh that day, picked up by my Wee Scottish Lass we came to this amazing Tattoo, Mark Knophler has always been a great idol of mine and to hear "Going Home" with bagpipes got me teary eyed. Beautiful Scotland! Was good to see my people perform there too. Love and respect from New Zealand
I listened to this tonight for our 4 fallen Police officers In Melbourne. 2 have been laid to rest, 1 has made the long journey home by road to Newcastle with full honours, and our final officer will be laid to rest tomorrow. Then they will all be going nome to the big station to serve and protect us from above. 💙💙💙💙
That guitarist is Matt Gregory, from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. He starts the great Mark Knopfler "Going Home" fairly slowly, then really lets it rip towards the end. Great compose, great number, great guitarist playing it here, & the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards giving the perfect backing. Absolutely spell-bounding!
Had this played as the final song at my husband's funeral. He was a proud Scot, a guitarist and a piper. So it was an obvious choice. I hope he heard it.
I have heard this song played by hank Marvin and the shadows and i loved it, but this was incredible a lone guitarist with an entire military band behind him. I wasn’t expecting the pipes and drums to join in, when they did I got a shiver down my spine, makes you proud to be scotish
@1.49- I am proud to be English through and through, BUT-when those massed pipes march in, I get shivers down my back, every time. I have attended the Tattoo a number of times and feel like an honorary Scot,it's so stirring!
I am a patriotic Englishman but I also love Scotland,the Scottish people and their pipe bands. This clip gives me goose bumps when the pipers march in!
Thankyou! I come back to this video time and time again. One of my favourite pieces of music in a setting of my childhood. Very much appreciated and enjoyed often.
To a Knopfler´s and everything related to Scotland lover like me, this has been an expirience! I didn´t know this performance and it has brougth tears to my eyes! wow!
Probably because there is a traditional tune played by pipes called Going Home that is used for the military, LEO, and FF in the line of duty. That is what they might have been expecting. It's actually what expected to hear a tattoo play, not a Knopfler song.
Great when lights turn on to welcome the marching orchestra.... as the guitar, pipes and percussion explode the melody. Very touching, very "sterling".
My brothers in this he does our family proud, every time I come on to listen to this it sends shivers down my spine seeing them come out makes me so proud 💜☺
I saw the movie in a theater in 1983 when it was released. It didn't stay there long. Best movie I've ever seen. Joy of life, wry humor - "I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon" - and Knopfler's music to bring tears to your eyes. Every time I hear it.
One of the all time greatest instrumentals ever. ! Composer...guitar maestro Mark Knopfler of the group " Dire Straits ". You must hear the version played by the greatest instrumental group of all time...the British group " The Shadows ". There is also a version of this played on stage by Hank Marvin , Lead guitarist of The Shadows and Mark himself....both with their Stratocasters....incredible music.!!!!! Music that is inspiring , rousing , and thrilling. Awesome.!
@@johnmcdowall7451 Sorry bonnie lad but was brought up in Newcastle and still has his Geordie accent to prove it, and I believe doesn't have a drop of Scottish blood in him. Try St. James's Park were the Toon run out to this at every home game, and the massive roar of 52000 Geordies as the last notes ring out. Howay the lads.
I heard two of my friends play this guitar and accordion together I wanted to listen to it again and I heard my father play it and recognised it immediately
best time to visit Scotland is in August Edinburgh Tattoo and fringe festival its awsum but Scotland any other time is still amazing Edinburgh is my home town born there now living in Northen Ontario going back next year in August
Lovely song and played very well on guitar, but even better when the pipes started. "going Home" was played at my wife's funeral six years ago. She loved Scotland and the pipes, glad we got to tour there in 1999.
I remember watching this program it was so good still get hairs stand on the back of my neck such a brillant end to what I think is the event of the year!!!!love from The isle of Mann!wayne
I also love the pipes, the military uniforms etc. I grew up with my twin brother practising in his next door bedroom and begging him to use the chanter instead! He often got banished to a nearby field😁 but ended up as a very proficient piper in great demand at various events.
As an ex-patriot from Edinburgh hearing this wonderful moving song brings tears to my eyes...I've often thought of "going home"...thank you Mark
The sound of the pipes is amazing brings tears to the eyes. Wonderful music played to perfection.
we played this song at my dad’s funeral. It breaks my heart ❤
So sorry - take comfort in the happy memories. I'm having it played at my funeral too, hopefully not for quite a while. Best wishes.

Going home. ..Mark Knopfler .. played it at my late husbands Trev funeral .. fantastic , moving, great guitar by Knopfler Bless my Trevxx
Song I want played at my funeral. Not sure how my family will convince these finely skirted fellers to show up, but I'm sure they'll do their best!
God bless Trev and you dear Tina.

This rendition of a favourite made the small amount of Scottish blood in my veins SING!!!💕💕💕
Played it as the boys of the 71 class left Falkirk Station. 120 of us then. Only 3 still drawing breath . Love this tune
Witnessing a man in full dress uniform trying not to act like a rockstar while playing the electric guitar is awe inspiring.
Agreed, up until 2:35 then he relaxed and enjoyed himself.
Wish I could play like that❤
Beautiful...just love the pipes...so
Proud of my Scottish heritage
Clan Campbell....Long live
The USA and Scotland..both great
Nations♥️♥️
Written by an Englishman 🤣

Remember that vividly..tears rolled down my cheeks
Love your comment
Goosebumps, watery eyes and a massive lump in my throat! 🏴
What a fantastic rendition and I love the way two thirds of the orchestra appear from the darkness.
Effing Magical ! I'm a Geordie from Wallsend & a lover of everything Scottish. You give me goose-pimples Mark Knopfler.
What is it about this favourite tune of mine that, when played by a pipe band, brings a tear to my eye? So soul-stirring! ❤❤

Fantastic song played as only a Military Band can do !
I am sure that Mark Knophler was proud to hear his greatest song played so well

Apt as it was written by a Newcastle lad (England) Mark Knopfler
Love it when pipes come marching in. Theme from my favourite movie.
And from my favorite place in the world, Pennan...

I think you'll find it was Marine Gregory from Plymouth and the band of the Royal Marines from Plymouth, Portsmouth and Rosyth.

He heard it. Believe it. Local hereo with the music of Mark Knopfler. Wonderful, amazing.
Bloody fantastic! I'm covered in goosebumps.
From a Southern Softy- I watch this time after time and still get goosebumps when the bands march in
I have heard this song played by hank Marvin and the shadows and i loved it, but this was incredible a lone guitarist with an entire military band behind him. I wasn’t expecting the pipes and drums to join in, when they did I got a shiver down my spine, makes you proud to be scotish
Even better when you are surrounded by other pipers and playing it
Scottish and British
Stewart- I get the same shiver every time I go to the Tattoo,but this one was special, and I am as English as they come
Listen to Mark Knopfler from dire Straits play this its on their Brothers in Arms album
So proud you can't spell Scottish.
The bag pipes,God's gift to the music industry. 🎶
At least to the sound engineers. "Can you make this sound good?"
What can I say simply amazing and so talented well done lads am so proud to be Scottish from a 75 year old lady ❤❤👏👏👏👏
@1.49- I am proud to be English through and through, BUT-when those massed pipes march in, I get shivers down my back, every time. I have attended the Tattoo a number of times and feel like an honorary Scot,it's so stirring!
It’s me again in2024 and I am still getting that buzz!
Mark Knopfler is a Geordie from S of Hadrians Wall. . You don't need the Scottish blood :-)
I am a patriotic Englishman but I also love Scotland,the Scottish people and their pipe bands. This clip gives me goose bumps when the pipers march in!
Long live the Scottish military bands - always a brilliant performance 👍
Thankyou! I come back to this video time and time again. One of my favourite pieces of music in a setting of my childhood. Very much appreciated and enjoyed often.
This is the song that I will play when I return to my second home, Southern California. It's such a triumphant song!
Stuart Adams Railfan Videos I want to learn it too
@@BLykke-tm6qd I want to learn it on banjo.
To a Knopfler´s and everything related to Scotland lover like me, this has been an expirience! I didn´t know this performance and it has brougth tears to my eyes! wow!
If you liked that, check out the version by the Vatersay Boys at the Glasgow Barrowlands. ruclips.net/video/1VfoxVGO-mk/видео.html
Mark KNopfler came from close tom Scotland, just over the border in Northumbria
Mark Knopfler is half English (Mother) and half Hungarian (Father) 😂😂😂👍
How can there be 80 who don’t like this!! It’s brilliant 🇬🇧
I bet thy don't like sunny days and Santa Claus......Punks without souls
They are Shyte heads.
89 dislikes with this video, including my ex-girlfriend. She hated this song when I played it for her.
@@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos No shortage of Shyteheads.

Mind-blowing... absolutely beautiful performance.
Yep!
Great when lights turn on to welcome the marching orchestra.... as the guitar, pipes and percussion explode the melody. Very touching, very "sterling".
How did he not get an Oscar for this? Somebody tell me that. Magnificent! All his film work, extraordinary.
Mark is not part of celebrity gang, thats why!
Because Oscar’s are for movies
@@Buddhamama-on_tour_2022 It's from a movie. This should have won an Oscar IMO.
His soundtrack album made him more than the movie made.
Wonderful rendition of Going Home.
My brothers in this he does our family proud, every time I come on to listen to this it sends shivers down my spine seeing them come out makes me so proud 💜☺
OMG what an entrance !!!!
This brings tears of joy to my eyes.
It sure does!
+1
OMFG, it's spine tingling music but double that when it's played by mass pipes and drums
I’m a Geordie through and through but this is the best version I’ve heard sends shivers up your spine pipers r brilliant
Born in Glasgow of course :)
The best Mark's anthem. I love this song and all the representation in my life.
My grandfather was born in Glasgow. I'm a northumbrian, this is an anthem for the North.
"Going Home" by Mark Knopfler from the film "Local Hero"
my lord, the goosebumps. What must it feel like for mark knopfler to have the Edinburgh Tattoo playing one of his pieces...
I saw the movie in a theater in 1983 when it was released. It didn't stay there long. Best movie I've ever seen. Joy of life, wry humor - "I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon" - and Knopfler's music to bring tears to your eyes. Every time I hear it.

Was there celebrating my wife’s 60th birthday, absolutely fantastic.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! The art of Mark Knopfler should be included in the UNESCO world heritage list
I can't watch this without sobbing. My Dad loved it, and my Scottish ex husband who is now in a care home. I still love him. 😥 This is so moving.
Sin palabras Mark Is beatifull gracias por esto amo la historia de Scotland
MARK KNOPFLER BORN IN SCOTLAND AND WHAT A BRILLIANT SONG HE WROTE AND THE PIPES DO IT PROUD EH
Aye, but he has not a drop of scottish blood in his veins, so his talent is nothing to do with Scotland.
