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

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 💪🔥👍😎....

The cadences of the music of the Scottish people woven into his own unique and beautiful creation...perfectly played.A gem of popular music.

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...!!!

That Tune just works.... It says so much... I feel such unusual emotions hearing it... It says so much... Thank you Mark Knopfler...

I Have asked my son to play this incredible song at my funeral

Played local hero at my dads funeral....a true Geordie.......thanks

No one can ever convince me that music can get better than this.

best guitarist ever,,,

Mark you are the best 👍❤

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 👍

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.

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

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!!!!!

Just a wonderful, wonderful version!

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.

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!

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 👏🏼.

The best guitarist in the world. His guitar playing is exceptional. Love him. I could listen to him all day long.

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.

The brass added to that song is genius.

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.

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.

SIMPLY THE BEST . THANK YOU, MARK. AMAZING

brilliant guy love his music....................jt

Thank you, Mark. Thank you so much.

The best guitarist in the world. Fantastic. Great Mark.

Like so many of Marks best tunes, it has a melancholy tune to it. And of course His brilliant guitar play.

Mark , You are my hero ! from korea !

Grandsons of Geordies are at home with this music no matter where in the world you are

Only 3 words to describe his talent..”Simply The Best”

simply no one like him not ANYWHERE…🥂 ‼️ 👊🔥 🪖

There is class,and this absolute. You can't buy this it's Not For Sale. Timeless and Priceless.

I could listen to this every day and never get tired of it

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

His playing carries u to another place...beautiful place

old claw hand playing our national anthem, gan on son, what a magical guitarist you are.

Local Hero was both my wife and mine fav movie. She passed just over a week ago.... this song brings me tears and joy of the memories together.... crying now....

Thanks, Mark Knopfler, for all the wonderful music in the 70ies and 80ies!

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.

If heaven has a waiting room, I guarantee it’ll be playing Mark Knopfler for everyone ♥️

Sends shivers down my spine every time I hear this. This is Newcastle!!

Every time I hear this I just think of my friends from the 529th MP COMPANY that are so dear in my heart.

Thanks God for giving us Mark

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!

I can't get enough of this song. I'm obsessed with it.

LOVE IT that he still wears that wristband :-)

Tears.....is this the Geordie spirit I hear in the music? So powerful, it touches my core.

I grow up with him. He teaches me to be resilient singing:" just believe me baby and I'll take you away from out of this darkness and into the day" ( wow! Even my automatic corrector knows it), to appreciate little things ( to many songs about 🙂), to think reality like a beautiful painting to look with curiosity and to be humble and that's what he always does.

Just watch, listen & learn and ENJOY with shivers down my spine.

There's something wrong either with this tune or myself - every time brings tears to my eyes for the last 40 years.

눈물이나네요 마크노플러도 나이를 먹는군요 너무감동입니다

it's not about what you can do with a piece of wood in your hands, it's about the feeling, the notes, the sound that makes you feel happy, a good music to your hears. that's music

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.

Love you Mark.

There is nothing better than that crossing the Tyne facing north, feeling. Pure Magic.

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.

Worlds best musician , well done mark 👌🏻

I was at this concert. Two rows back. Legendary. Thanks

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.

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.

I was there. This recording is real good, live it was far better!

Hallo Mark Knopfler wat een prachtig nummer is dit toch. Ontzettend mooi om naar je te blijven luisteren.😊😊

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!

The KING!❤

The Extra Terrestre E T of music El maestro great mark knopfler have a long life and good health and happiness.

I'm amazed this concert wasn't professionally filmed. But the sound is spot on! Not sure how he managed that ...

MARK KNOPFLER GOAT

I'm in awe of the mind that can conceive such beauty.

Literally love every song performed by Mark Knopfler. Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone from Pat

This is such a lovely careful song, from a lovely careful man. I get goosebumps just hearing the beginning...

Love you, Mark. You "Marked" my life. Thanks.

I never get tired of hearing this piece. Just the introduction sends shivers up my spine.. Best ever!

I love this song it is so moving. I want to get up dance with big steps . Brings tears to my eyes. I wish I had discovered it earlier. Watch on you tube while viewing Scotland

Mark Knopfler is such a musical genius! Thank you so much for sharing and God bless all from Patrick

Mark plays the guitar like he is riding a bike! No effort at all. It’s amazing!

How Lovely ...but I am very sorry for your loss .

Gracias maestro

When all is said and done "The anthem of all anthems" Take a bow Mark Knopfler, rest easy and thanks for all the music 🎸🔥☘️🇮🇪

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"

My son Andy loved this music. He emigrated to NZ and I miss him

Going home is probably a more sensitive song, even when Mark injects more Gaelic folklore it sounds imposing. I always get chills,.

As a Geordie....goosebumps....everytime I hear this

Grandioso 👍 numero 1

This ✍ is a definition of EXCELLENCE!!

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.

Pure genius and a fellow Geordie

I. Am. Like. The. Rest i❤. His. Music going. home. Gives. Me. Goose. Bumps every. Time . Mark. Enjoy. You’re. Retirement

Mark Rules !

So beautiful! This is my go to when I just want to sit and in the moment - Annie

Dire straits forever. Well done Mark.

Was für ein genialer Musiker, Gott schütze ihn

A marvellous performance..seen him live many times,absolute magic and a true Geordie

My soul is singing with Knopfler. Long live!!!!!!

My favorite musician of all times

No hay palabras para calificar a este genio. Saludos desde España.

Simply Beautiful.

His playing leaves me speechless,

My guitar hero... still rocking it after all these years! Love this!! ❤️❤️
