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
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!
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.
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..😎👍👌
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... ;-)
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
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.
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!
Desde a década de 80 eu acompanho essa BANDA maravilhosa, estamos em 2020 eles estão mais experientes o porque velhos já Mais ! E continuam tocando uma Barbaridade 🎸❤️🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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
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 actually buy that . I am not religious but his music is so unique ( it really is) I remember talking about this when he first appeared. He never seems to play this the same way twice these days. The man has a beautiful mind. This piece of music my all time favourite. That’s a huge call
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"
I love this,new to me,in Whitby,Ontario,Canada ♥️🇨🇦Love Mark Knopfler,nd my beloved husband revered him,he passed away a year ago,thank you for everything Mark,down the long years ♥️🇨🇦
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.
Looks like he’s just starting to lose the timings on those twiddly bits now.... the man is a genius and a legend and his music and style will live on forever I hope!
Interestingly,he's playing this on a Gibson Les Paul.On the original recording,and most of the others on RUclips,he uses his trademark Fender Stratocaster.The tone,and particularly,the sustain of the Gibson is very different,and he appears to have changed his playing style somewhat to get the best out of the instrument.Still brilliant,but slightly altered interpretation.
@@dennislane100 Hi, Dennis! There's a Parkinson interview somewhere on RUclips where Mark talks a little about his childhood hopes and heroes - The Shadows got him into Fender, and the great Eleanor Peterson [that's me!] turned him on to Gibson. Actually, I'm lying about the Gibson thing. I'm a pitifully inadequate guitarist... Sigh...
I am no guitar player....and I could not tell you if he had the best playing technique of any guitarist in the world....BUT!!!!...... for SHEER emotional heart grabbing????? Not many can come close!!!!
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!
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 for uploading this fantastic track, I could listen to it all day and every day. Mark is a genius, I was very fortunate to see him at The Royal Albert Hall in the 90's. Mark's tribute to Sir Stirling Moss by playing this at Goodwood was wonderful, beyond words!
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.

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 💪🔥👍😎....
Enjoy the maestro Mark Knopfler

Perfect....thank you
Amazing footage and a wonderful performance.
Thank you so much for giving us all the opportunity to view it. 🙂👌🏻👍🏻
Just watch, listen & learn and ENJOY with shivers down my spine.
Going home is probably a more sensitive song, even when Mark injects more Gaelic folklore it sounds imposing. I always get chills,.
Mark plays the guitar like he is riding a bike! No effort at all. It’s amazing!
poetry at work....
Masterpiece.
Amo eternamente ❤
🤟🤟🤟
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.

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...
me too beautiful
I agree with everything you said.
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
Best guitar player on the planet.......modern day music no one can lay a glove on him.
Absolutely agree. Obsessed with him, his continual growth into US country. Etc. He is and will continue to be EVERYTHING ❤
Fantastic
Like Ritchie Blackmore too with Candice Night
No one can ever convince me that music can get better than this.
This is the best of the best
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!
The best guitarist in the world. His guitar playing is exceptional. Love him. I could listen to him all day long.

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

Me too❣️👍
Was thinking exactly that before I read your comment! Bless you!
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😂😂😂😂
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.

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.❤
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.
Thanks God for giving us Mark
Halleluya.
😊
AMEN

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
@@Isabellemackenzie1954 Grew up in Northumberland. Therefore more Geordie than Glaswegian.
I'm in awe of the mind that can conceive such beauty.
If heaven has a waiting room, I guarantee it’ll be playing Mark Knopfler for everyone ♥️
You better get born again then
💗💗💗
I never get tired of hearing this piece. Just the introduction sends shivers up my spine.. Best ever!
I love how it builds up.
Love you, Mark. You "Marked" my life. Thanks.
That's my funeral song plus green eyes by Chris coldplay xx just putting out there xx

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.
Only 3 words to describe his talent..”Simply The Best”
Dire straits forever. Well done Mark.
Dire straits tellement bien, merci pour tout ce que vous m'avez apporté. Jamais vous ne vieillirez👍👍👍👍👍
There's something wrong either with this tune or myself - every time brings tears to my eyes for the last 40 years.

Not a bad place to be,personally speaking.
Thank you, Mark. Thank you so much.
He seems very aware that the band achieved something particularly special with that performance.
Pure genius and a fellow Geordie

The best instrumental in the last 60 years beautiful
Mark é um gênio, sem comentários.
This is such a lovely careful song, from a lovely careful man. I get goosebumps just hearing the beginning...
Who else get and ovation like this
I'm amazed this concert wasn't professionally filmed. But the sound is spot on! Not sure how he managed that ...
