Dire Straits - Wild Theme (Local Hero) [Nimes -92 ~ HD]

[@mustydank5931]

Let’s face it we all get goose bumps listening to this... it’s absolutely beautiful

[@nataliakobelska-dubiel6039]

Yes...

[@rogerramjet5302]

Just hope someone can sell me a tardis. I'm lucky to have seen them live but yearn for one more chance......

The most beautiful song ever composed. Amazing guitar play and band.

[@yccy1962]

3 people plays Mark and two keyboarder

[@beagle7622]

Basically the same as going home. If you watch the film you can understand why he wrote it . The quirky Scottish film “Local Hero” is a masterpiece . I smiled & chuckled every minute of it & of cause Mark’s Music was sublime

Like many other legendary pieces of Mark Knopfler, this one is another masterpiece. Stunning 😊

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

Absolute perfection, Mark is the most sensitive and emotional guitar player ever, such a beautiful tone, full of melody and feel.

[@timolaiostimolaii9727]

This is when you let the guitar sing, instead your voice. Pure glory.

[@jimryan9039]

From the first time I ever heard this,I’ve felt it was the most evocative melody I’ll ever hear. I’ll ask my kids to have it played at my memorial service.it feels to me like a summation of my life’s journey-all of it, the good & the bad.”spiritual is a spot-on description of the gravitas this melody conveys to my mind.I’ve always treasured the coda in which he plucks several strings’ harmonics,voiced with his fretting hand. MK is a true “music magician” and a well-spring of melancholic melody. Long may he run.

[@rogerramjet5302]

It’s going to be played at mine too. Trying to find superlatives for this is hard, all I can say is every chord touches my soul.

[@seanriffle6324]

Late reply, but mine three. On my list also. Everything about this version is perfect. It's like a God speaking to me. The best part is when Mark looks back at Guy/Alan (not sure) and smiles, like, yeah, perfect.

[@datajack2000]

Yes!!! I feel the same way... and never have seen someone put it in words...

The bending at 3:42 nails it! It transforms an already superb song and a genious performance into pure magic! My absolute favourite version of this unique masterpiece!

[@PeterLoweSMI]

Played this song incessantly on my walkman , travelling drunk on the underground after a bad breakup - feeling homesick for my Northumberland. It still gets me as I have been exiled for 30 years now

[@luistirapicos]

This is my favourite version of this song. What great genious, only someone so trully special could have come up with this.

[@wbravo66]

Great comment, my thoughts exactly

[@pitg1318]

LO MISMO PIENSO..UNA OBRA MAESTRA QUE ME CONMUEVE

[@lambielfabien1678]

This melody has been haunting our days for nearly four decades now. At times when it all went rough, this was a musical reminder that there would always be hope. Concealed among its notes was the promise that "home" would be reached one day.

[@grahamclearvision]

What IS it about that tune?! Its just incredible. Its like something you can't quite put your finger on. Like a memory you can't quite recollect. Really touches something deep inside me. Melancholic, nostalgic, comforting, maybe even 'spiritual', if you dont mind the term.

[@johnmccabe100]

[@grind7313]

This entered my intire soul 🥲. And what a beautifull smile he gives To the other musician. Just melts my Heart.

[@t.gongelbong34]

2:06 is when you can close your eyes and the mind starts flying like an albatros and you can almost see a sundown over the ocean projected onto the inner side of your eyelids. At least I do. Wonderful performance, maybe the best version of that solo I've ever heard.

[@charlesyateschalfant]

Just stunning. My favourite guitar instrumental. Mark is a master of emotion.

[@thorstenbeckershaus7926]

All beauty one can imagine in a song

[@Sadowsky1965]

The right song to go over and out..... it's the best for the end of a great band like DS.

[@seanriffle1841]

The smile at 4:08 says it all.

[@amazingflavour]

Sean Riffle my exact thoughts

[@timothynadin]

All the more poignant given that this was probably one of the last times these two musicians played together - the tour ended 10 days later and Dire Straits disbanded some time after that

[@tamasnagy59]

Yeah man. But that’s the comment was about the smile and of course I can be wrong but this is over all. They were just playing and the smile was an extra addition and let’s be honest it’s a rare from Mr Knopfler. However for me that was a good one 😉

[@pitg1318]

God bless you all..

A beautifully emotive piece of guitar playing. Stirs the heart strings!

[@wbravo66]

well said

[@UlyssesM]

Doctor Garbonzo wow. Nailed it

[@JeddieT]

This is the very best version of *Wild Theme* _Local Hero._ Somber, melancholic, haunting in its simplicity - less is so much more. This rendition truly captures the spirit of the original film and it’s not ruined by that intrusive and bloating sax on some of the other versions.

[@Tchunga2004]

Exactly!

[@grind7313]

You Said everything !

[@mirkodisilverio6032]

Ruined? The sax of the original version? By Michael Breker? Please, don't say it anymore. Rip Michael Breker, one of the greatest.

[@beagle7622]

I have the Sountrack of The film “ Going Home” on CD on record . It’s all the music in the film. It is just amazing to listen to.

[@KEP3365]

Wild Theme never had a sax in it. Going Home, however, does.

This is a masterpiece, no more words needed!

[@domingues2001]

Ich darf mich als 57Jährig glücklich schätzen!, dass mich Knopfler (Dire Straits) seit der ersten Kassette 1979 durch mein Leben begleitet und unendlich bereichert hat. Poesie; Magie, Kunst, Emozionen und ein unendliches Gefühl beim Spiel. Nur schon diese knapp 5 Minuten vermitteln "alles" und sind unerreicht! Vielen, vielen herzlichen Dank Mark. Ich liebe dich!

[@lnightlong]

Such a beautiful song. Deep in emotion with sound.

[@ste6065]

[@seanriffle1841]

The best version I've seen!

[@burgmani]

Este tema te llega hasta el corazón. Hace rememorar esos grandes momentos de tu vida.

[@mrsvle]

There are two very similar but nevertheless separate songs, both off the Local Hero soundtrack. The one we hear here is "Wild Theme." The second longer one that includes the saxophone is called "Going Home." They are frequently mixed up. Both are beautiful.

[@roguishpaladin]

I imagine this was meant to be Going Home but they don't always have a saxophonist. With the Alchemy tour, they were very intentionally playing Going Home as their show closer - figure that's what they intended her as well.

[@raphaeldube7008]

No, it was a conscious decision not to play "Going Home", they never played it a single time on the OES tour, even though they had Chris White as a band member on the saxophone for the whole tour :)

[@GeorgeTel100]

I want to thank you for taking your time and explaining this. I happened to adore the former and like the latter. So when I was googling "Going Home" I was not getting what I really wanted to hear ("Wild Theme"), and now, thanks to you, I know why! All The Best!!

Played this song at my husband's memorial service.

[@seanriffle1841]

It may sound strange but I have a list of songs that I want my wife to play at my service and this is on that list. Everyone knows that music is the most important part of my life and this song is one of the gifts that God has brought into my life. It's great that it meant something to you and your husband.

[@FrejrNA]

I don't think it's strange at all. For most of the people listening to "real" and good music it means a damn lot. Simply because it's not just some kind of sound (like pop or dubstep) but many notes and tones perfectly matched together to create a perfect sound. Listening and making music basically is my life, so I can expect to end it with that as well. I do have such a list as well... But since I won't be able to play them at my funeral unfortunatly, I want a good friend to play them live at least. It took me many years to create a list of only 3 songs (more than 3 seems too much to me), which I can really call "the list of the 3 songs with the most significant impact on my life". Pretty difficult, though. At the moment it is: Pink Floyd - High Hopes Dire Straits - Wild Theme Queen - Too Much Love Will Kill You (Metallica - Bleeding Me) - It hurts too much not putting it on the list.
