Edinburgh Tattoo 2014 - Going Home

I dont know who or what they are playing. fill in if you know

[@lizsnazelle2786]

The sound of the pipes is amazing brings tears to the eyes. Wonderful music played to perfection.

[@mikefraser4513]

As an ex-patriot from Edinburgh hearing this wonderful moving song brings tears to my eyes...I've often thought of "going home"...thank you Mark

[@albalass54]

Theme song from the movie.....LOCAL HERO !! If you love Scotland, you will LOVE this movie--gorgeous scenery, music by Mark Knopfler. Starring Burt Lancaster, Peter Capaldi, Peter Reichart, Jenny Seagrove, and more. Lovely movie. They played this at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo that I went to in either 1996 or 97. Theme of Braveheart at beginning of Tattoo, Skye Boat song also played, but this......this song has my heart.

[@CletusMcdonagh]

I've seen the movie on somewhere and i remember the video quality were really bad but did not mind it at all the movie atmosphere and feeling was amazing i loved it. And would love to found it somewhere again and again

So sorry - take comfort in the happy memories. I'm having it played at my funeral too, hopefully not for quite a while. Best wishes.

Heard this at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Melbourne Australia in 2016, I distinctly remember the feeling of my body being covered in goosebumps and the emotions it brought about and decided that this was going to be the song to be played on my final journey back home to my family members that have passed before me.

Fantastic song played as only a Military Band can do ! I am sure that Mark Knophler was proud to hear his greatest song played so well

[@Iain_Metcalf]

What a fantastic rendition and I love the way two thirds of the orchestra appear from the darkness.

[@chanisgil9856]

That guitarist is Matt Gregory, from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. He starts the great Mark Knopfler "Going Home" fairly slowly, then really lets it rip towards the end. Great compose, great number, great guitarist playing it here, & the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards giving the perfect backing. Absolutely spell-bounding!

[@TheCobberK]

I think you'll find it was Marine Gregory from Plymouth and the band of the Royal Marines from Plymouth, Portsmouth and Rosyth.

I was fortunate enough to land in Edinburgh that day, picked up by my Wee Scottish Lass we came to this amazing Tattoo, Mark Knophler has always been a great idol of mine and to hear "Going Home" with bagpipes got me teary eyed.

I have heard this song played by hank Marvin and the shadows and i loved it, but this was incredible a lone guitarist with an entire military band behind him. I wasn’t expecting the pipes and drums to join in, when they did I got a shiver down my spine, makes you proud to be scotish

[@kevinlubinsky]

Probably because there is a traditional tune played by pipes called Going Home that is used for the military, LEO, and FF in the line of duty. That is what they might have been expecting. It's actually what expected to hear a tattoo play, not a Knopfler song.
