This piece of music was central to to my husband's funeral. He died 14 July 2018, and we set his photo montage to this as it was his all time favourite. How I loved that man from northern England with all my heart. We were together as partners and husband/wife for nearly 32 years of intense love. He died in front of me of a massive heart attack. May God bless his soul forever. Peace and love to you Alan, whwerever you may be. X X X from your loving wife Sonya, now and till the end of time. X X X
My dad walked me down the aisle to this. When I was little he worked away when my mam played this i knew he was coming home. Such a special song for me.
Don't know a Geordie who doesn't love this,. Being sat in St James' Park as the teams come out to this is amazing. Hairs on the back of the neck every single time.
Having recently lost my Grandmother to cancer, we decided to play this at her funeral. This was one of her all time favourite songs and I'll always listen to this in her memory. Also, as a lifelong West Ham fan, I will happily wrap my arms around Newcastle United fans whenever this is played. Mark is an absolute legend and its 100% understandable why this has been adopted by the Toon Army! Absolutely brilliant! #WHU #NUFC
Am a MACKEM fan from Hebburn but this just breaks me up cos I now live in Shrewsbury but when I cross the Tyne on the train going home I never fail to have a tear in my eyes bless you Mr Knopfler
One of my favorite movies and one of my favorite movie themes. Very aptly titled when you consider what “Local Hero” is really about. Perfectly captures the longing we all have for that place we call home…When I watch Knopfler play, so much going on at the same time. Just a master of the instrument
Call and response.The guitar calls and the saxophone responds.Clever and thoughtful piece of music.Great film and an even greater soundtrack.Mark is a very under rated guitarist.
Whatever gene pool Mark Knopfler sprang from I want to swim in--impeccable taste, incomparable talent! Nigel you can come skinny dipping any time! WOW!
The tenor sax goes so well with Marks style of playing. Should’ve used it more. This is up there with the best ( and I’m from Yorkshire, home of Brass bands!)
Wunderbar! Der große Meister legt wie immer sehr viel Ausdruck in sein Spiel, auch und gerade bei den Werken, die inzwischen mehr als 30 Jahre alt sind. Grandios! Vielen Dank für den Upload.
When I heard this first, knowing I could never afford a Dire Straits live show , and desperately hoped for something like RUclips! Ideas are dozen a dime without execution!
le vi, en ese mismo año en el Royal Albert Hall y no tiene nada que ver con verle en España... que nadie me malinterprete, los seguidores Españoles de Mark somos la "leche" ...pero verle en "su-casa" es lo más, ...dónde más me ha emocionado
It's Nigel Hitchcock one of the greatest sax players. First saw him in the early eighties, playing with NYJO when he was 13, even then he was an artist of great skill and maturity. His career never reached the heights he's capable of, maybe because he seems to confine himself to playing key roles as a sidesman on other people's albums with the occasional guest spot live with bands like the late Stan Tracy and, here, Mark Knopfler.
They sounded GREAT!! My gawd they all look old....sorry. Mark and Richard Park and the tall bass player who has been with him for years....and was that Chad Cromwell on drums? Where in the hell did time go? Howay lads.

Bless you
i´m in tears reading this.
This should have a billion likes.
As a Liverpool fan I can only say this: When I hear this tune played I wish I was a georgi. Absolute fantastic. YNWA NUFC.
My dad walked me down the aisle to this. When I was little he worked away when my mam played this i knew he was coming home. Such a special song for me.
" The soul of the world, embedded in sound." Indeed.
As someone away from Ireland for 20 years, every time my plane banks left over Dublin Bay to land this is the song in my head.
Mark is 71 years old now appreciate him while you can .God love him.🕯️💕🕯️💕🕯️💕🕯️🕯️🕯️💕
When you get older, it's the sax that you miss the most.
Ain't that the truth!!
Was that a typo 😉
@@haileash No. Just an observation from someone who sold their saxophone years ago.
As a Nufc season ticket holder for many years this still brings the hairs up on the back of my neck at every home game
Don't know a Geordie who doesn't love this,. Being sat in St James' Park as the teams come out to this is amazing. Hairs on the back of the neck every single time.
I'd go to a Newcastle match, just for that experience

Cool to see a fellow train enthusiast here. Greetings from Oregon, USA!
What’s so great is how thrilled Mark looks at the end, in that it all went so well. Just pure joy in playing such great music.
You never get tired of hearing this song...💖🎷🎷🎸🎸.And the quality of the video is just perfect!!!✨✨
We can still feel the spirit of the better old days thanks to Mark Knopfler and the Music he has been making.
Greetings from Split, Croatia.
A fond memory of mine.. My very first Going Home in Newcastle-upon-Tyne!

Such a great musitian!Play forever Mr. Mark Knopfler.

My Ringtone.Goosebumps everytime it goes off.Being at St James Park when this comes on .Neck and back bristling.
Call and response.The guitar calls and the saxophone responds.Clever and thoughtful piece of music.Great film and an even greater soundtrack.Mark is a very under rated guitarist.

THAT sax!! gave me the chills n good feels ALL over
Sax e guitarra combinaçao perfeita..
Love the sax... hey just love this piece of music superb

Nice to see you smiling MK. Love 'Going Home' with or without smiles.
Opening tune each year at the Great North Run. Puts a spring to your step. Up the Geordies!
One of my favourite instrumentals
Nigel Hitchcock: Gifted and a lovely bloke to boot.
Whatever gene pool Mark Knopfler sprang from I want to swim in--impeccable taste, incomparable talent! Nigel you can come skinny dipping any time! WOW!
Great thing about this of many versions online is that the sax is given the right prominence.
Pure class
Howay the lads and all the folk from the mother land love each other and we will rise up again and the team will win !!
A place in my heart.
You just feel a...hometown tension rise...breathless! Until when gratefully they break into it...Roar!
Just brilliant
I was there. It was a wonderful evening
Thank you Mark...! eternal thanks..!
Sencillamente fantástico!!!! ..No sé lo que tiene esta música, pero hace que me emocione cada vez que la escucho.
M.Ángeles López ....porque no hay nada mejor que esta melodia
The guitar is great, but the most important is the saxophone :) the whole is amazing :)
my chest hurts .... amazing !!!
saw him in liverpool and birmingham this year love the guy
Sehr, sehr schöne Aufnahme. Hervorragender Sound - DANKE
Really into the tones of these songs!
The tenor sax goes so well with Marks style of playing. Should’ve used it more. This is up there with the best ( and I’m from Yorkshire, home of Brass bands!)
Totally agree with you, its my number one favorite Sax song, is that Sax or Sex, I get the two confused.
Epic!
Que du bonheur quel morceau et le saxo 😊😊😊😊
Brilliant!!!!!!!

Marks the 'man, but that sax player stole the scene for my money.x
His name’s Nigel Hitchcock he’s a great saxophonist!
le vi, en ese mismo año en el Royal Albert Hall y no tiene nada que ver con verle en España...
que nadie me malinterprete, los seguidores Españoles de Mark somos la "leche" ...pero verle en "su-casa" es lo más, ...dónde más me ha emocionado
Helaas werd dit prachtige nummer niet gespeeld in Zwolle, maar gelukkig is er deze mooie opname!
Music from Eden.
Didn't know Johnny Vegas played the sax........
from 2:07 , what are the notes on the saxophone??
Unica
Have you really been to Liverpool show? I was also there and he did play Going Home as final encore. Did you leave too early?
🙆♂️💥🎷🎶🎸💥👍
who is that playing that fantastic sax? i think he played mark off hiss socks there. later on this tour he s gone! why?
He´s the great Nigel Hitchcock who played also on the Privateering CD. He joined the band just for a few shows of the tour.
he s fantastic the only good performance of that song on the whole tour was in Newcastle 18-5 2013
