Mark is SO "one" with his guitar. Undoubtedly THE greatest guitarist on this planet. SO humble. SO talented, SO under appreciated . An AMAZING performer.

I will never stop loving his music.

This is one of those rare pieces of music that can evoke triumph and melancholy. Brings tears and smiles. Wonderful.

Probably the best singer songwriter guitarist in the world yet so humble. Truly inspiring.

What a guitarist, and his songs......so many stories about the North East of England. Respect!

Best Scottish film ever made, if you ask me (a Scot), largely due to this amazing musician. Thank you Mark!

It does . I think this is his best. In the beautiful film Local Hero the original version of this is the final scene, with an aerial view of Houston at night ( the film is set in Scotland not far from Inverness, the beach is on the West Coat ). Just the most amazing upbeat bit of music I have ever heard.

Thank you so much !! great movie !! great music !! great artist !! Mark ありがとうございます。

Tú guitarra habla sola , eres único!! ❤🔥

they share such a joy with their music........love to see them smile at each other as they play. You can feel it. Have followed them from the beginning. I am 78 and still love to listen everyday.

Listen carefully to the emotional content of these notes and how the rhythm flows and how the each note sets up the tone of the next one. Masterful stuff.

Estuve en ese concierto y recuerdo de forma intensa este momento. Magnifica versión y final

Grande entre los grandes. Gracias papá allá donde estés por deleitar mis oídos.

La mejor canción de todos los tiempos....con diferencia

Upon the insistence of my dear old Dad, this music was played whilst the pallbearers carried his coffin out of the church. My Dad was a life long Newcastle United supporter and always loved the tune since it was adopted by the team when making their way onto the pitch at St James Park. " That's my favourite piece of music. I want that playing at my funeral " he said. How fitting that it is called GOING HOME ( LOCAL HERO )

I bet there were a few geordies in the crowd that night with tears in their eyes.

an absolute masterpiece. always sends shivers down my spine.

The guitar talk to him. .Wonderful..

Me fascina, De largo la mejor del enorme repertorio de Diary strait. Yo hago una versión de este tema que a todos les encanta. Grande Mark.

Co za magia! Kiedyś preferowalem nagrania studyjne, ale przy takich Artystach koncertowe nagrania mają większą moc stukrotnie!!!

The lick at 3.58 is uncommon in going home versions. When he begins to pick it it sounds like it is not going to fit properly or end up well, but it finally does! It is very "knopflerian" indeed, and one of his style's features we like him so much for, isn't it?

Seen the same concert in Rome, Caracalla, simply stunning, amazing, charming, enchanting, no age music, no age Mark, …and greats musicians.❤
