Going Home Local Hero - Mark Knopfler (Barcelona SBD 2019)

[@Penny-Lane]

Real musicians, real instruments playing real music. 🥹 I saw Mark here in Wuerzburg in 2010 live. Watching his fingers play guitar from 3 Meters distance, I will remember this evening till the end of my days!

I brought my children to watch him in Dublin, they had been listening to my old music collection as they grew up, there wasn’t a dry eye between them. Probably the best concert of any sort that I have been at. Yes we had better music than they do today.

Id love to talk to you about it Alan. England

[@tungstentwohundredandtwent7007]

@@alanjones5786I think we wore out the Local Hero cassette on camping trips to Fraser Island on Australia’s east coast. Late nights, sitting on the beach, miles from civilisation, kidding ourselves we were fishing but really just an excuse to drink a few beers and have Local Hero cranked up and on repeat.

MK's timeless instrumental "Going Home" brings me back to the Summer of 1983. After spending a long weekend in England with a friend of mine (guitar teacher) we took the ferry way back home: Harwich to Hoek van Holland (NL). On board the movie "Local Hero" was playing, starring Burt Lancaster. Just at the end of the film when our boat will reach the Dutch harbor "Going Home" was hearing. What a perfect timing! Just that special feeling of being home soon... Thanks, Mark !!!

[@mdavis8093]

Local Hero is my favorite movie (after Casablanca). The characters and movie plot are wonderful and quirky. The best part is Mark and the original score he wrote. He is so talented. I hope to see him some day in a live concert

Local Hero is my favorite movie of all time, and Mark Knopfler is definitely in my top ten musicians. Together, this music and that movie, made one of the most touching works of art I have ever experienced. I can watch and listen again and again. It gets more bitterwseet as I age. It reminds me so heartbreakingly of my youth and the things we leave behind.

Agree, DS used to end their shows with this from the early 80s onwards with the road crew taking the microphones down during the song ! MK plays it on a Les Paul now rather than a Strat and I like the way the arrangement has changed to reflect the larger band he plays with nowadays, such as the brass section. But even in DS days he used to evolve songs over the course of a few tours.
