@@michaelbiggs1254.....Hi Michael Thank you for informing me that Going Home was written by an English man...just goes to show that The Brits and The Irish and The Scots are all brothers under the Celtic branch,...with descendents Here in the Great USA....
Look for the album Parallel Tracks by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, there is a brilliant version of this with Mark Knopfler on guitar, absolutely brilliant, it was the first time I heard this played on the pipes 22 years ago
Excellent performance but who is the Bandmaster conducting? He seems to be waving his baton completely randomly, nowhere near the timing of the music. Perhaps some musical expert can explain.
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.
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
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Devon Abraham i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
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. Beautiful Scotland! Was good to see my people perform there too. Love and respect from New Zealand
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!
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.
@1.49- I am proud to be English through and through, BUT-when those massed pipes march in, I get shivers down my back, every time. I have attended the Tattoo a number of times and feel like an honorary Scot,it's so stirring!
I listened to this tonight for our 4 fallen Police officers In Melbourne. 2 have been laid to rest, 1 has made the long journey home by road to Newcastle with full honours, and our final officer will be laid to rest tomorrow. Then they will all be going nome to the big station to serve and protect us from above. 💙💙💙💙
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
I saw the movie in a theater in 1983 when it was released. It didn't stay there long. Best movie I've ever seen. Joy of life, wry humor - "I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon" - and Knopfler's music to bring tears to your eyes. Every time I hear it.
best time to visit Scotland is in August Edinburgh Tattoo and fringe festival its awsum but Scotland any other time is still amazing Edinburgh is my home town born there now living in Northen Ontario going back next year in August
To a Knopfler´s and everything related to Scotland lover like me, this has been an expirience! I didn´t know this performance and it has brougth tears to my eyes! wow!
Had this played as the final song at my husband's funeral. He was a proud Scot, a guitarist and a piper. So it was an obvious choice. I hope he heard it.
The song is the first on the "Parallel Tracks" album by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards...in my opinion one of their best albums, I highly recommend it www.amazon.com/Parallel-Tracks-Royal-Dragoon-Guards/dp/B000086BB9/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_5
I think this is the theme from the wonderful movie, 'Local Hero'. Don't know if it is called 'Going Home' but I was expecting the one from the 'New World Symphony'.
A Celtic themed tune from a Scottish themed film about Scots People. This should be played at every Edinburgh Tattoo. Mark Knopfler's second best composition, The Long Road is just better in my opinion.
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.
I am a patriotic Englishman but I also love Scotland,the Scottish people and their pipe bands. This clip gives me goose bumps when the pipers march in!
@@johnmcdowall7451 Sorry bonnie lad but was brought up in Newcastle and still has his Geordie accent to prove it, and I believe doesn't have a drop of Scottish blood in him. Try St. James's Park were the Toon run out to this at every home game, and the massive roar of 52000 Geordies as the last notes ring out. Howay the lads.
One of the all time greatest instrumentals ever. ! Composer...guitar maestro Mark Knopfler of the group " Dire Straits ". You must hear the version played by the greatest instrumental group of all time...the British group " The Shadows ". There is also a version of this played on stage by Hank Marvin , Lead guitarist of The Shadows and Mark himself....both with their Stratocasters....incredible music.!!!!! Music that is inspiring , rousing , and thrilling. Awesome.!
Yep. This is the song that I will play when I return to my second home, the beaches of Southern California. It makes me cry though because I'm about to lose my job here where I currently live. I'm being forced to quit for no reason. My reputation is being tarnished. I haven't done anything wrong. I'm being falsely accused of an incident that I had no responsibility for.
My brothers in this he does our family proud, every time I come on to listen to this it sends shivers down my spine seeing them come out makes me so proud 💜☺
I love this but I don't mean to cry but it just reminds of my past childhood and my papa died and I miss him I miss my good old days but I know that I am stronger then this pain or this sadness I can get up because god always helps me up

Thankyou! I come back to this video time and time again. One of my favourite pieces of music in a setting of my childhood. Very much appreciated and enjoyed often.
I remember watching this program it was so good still get hairs stand on the back of my neck such a brillant end to what I think is the event of the year!!!!love from The isle of Mann!wayne
Great when lights turn on to welcome the marching orchestra.... as the guitar, pipes and percussion explode the melody. Very touching, very "sterling".
Witnessing a man in full dress uniform trying not to act like a rockstar while playing the electric guitar is awe inspiring.
Agreed, up until 2:35 then he relaxed and enjoyed himself.
Wish I could play like that❤
Beautiful...just love the pipes...so

I can't watch this without sobbing. My Dad loved it, and my Scottish ex husband who is now in a care home. I still love him. 😥 This is so moving.
we played this song at my dad’s funeral. It breaks my heart ❤
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.
wow such an amazing show - so great music

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

It’s me again in2024 and I am still getting that buzz!
Mark Knopfler is a Geordie from S of Hadrians Wall. . You don't need the Scottish blood :-)
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! The art of Mark Knopfler should be included in the UNESCO world heritage list
How did he not get an Oscar for this? Somebody tell me that. Magnificent! All his film work, extraordinary.
Mark is not part of celebrity gang, thats why!
Because Oscar’s are for movies
@@Buddhamama-on_tour_2022 It's from a movie. This should have won an Oscar IMO.
His soundtrack album made him more than the movie made.
This rendition of a favourite made the small amount of Scottish blood in my veins SING!!!💕💕💕
Played it as the boys of the 71 class left Falkirk Station. 120 of us then. Only 3 still drawing breath . Love this tune
What is it about this favourite tune of mine that, when played by a pipe band, brings a tear to my eye? So soul-stirring! ❤❤
I listened to this tonight for our 4 fallen Police officers In Melbourne. 2 have been laid to rest, 1 has made the long journey home by road to Newcastle with full honours, and our final officer will be laid to rest tomorrow.

Apt as it was written by a Newcastle lad (England) Mark Knopfler
YES I AM HOME if only in spirit. YOU CAN TAKE A SCOT OUT OF SCOTLAND BUT YOU CAN NOT TAKE SCOTLAND OUT OF A SCOT
Sin palabras Mark Is beatifull gracias por esto amo la historia de Scotland
OMFG, it's spine tingling music but double that when it's played by mass pipes and drums
What a fantastic rendition and I love the way two thirds of the orchestra appear from the darkness.
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
Even better when you are surrounded by other pipers and playing it
Scottish and British
Stewart- I get the same shiver every time I go to the Tattoo,but this one was special, and I am as English as they come
Listen to Mark Knopfler from dire Straits play this its on their Brothers in Arms album
So proud you can't spell Scottish.
Long live the Scottish military bands - always a brilliant performance 👍
my lord, the goosebumps. What must it feel like for mark knopfler to have the Edinburgh Tattoo playing one of his pieces...
I saw the movie in a theater in 1983 when it was released. It didn't stay there long. Best movie I've ever seen. Joy of life, wry humor - "I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon" - and Knopfler's music to bring tears to your eyes. Every time I hear it.

Mark KNopfler came from close tom Scotland, just over the border in Northumbria
Mark Knopfler is half English (Mother) and half Hungarian (Father) 😂😂😂👍
Had this played as the final song at my husband's funeral. He was a proud Scot, a guitarist and a piper. So it was an obvious choice. I hope he heard it.
He heard it. Believe it. Local hereo with the music of Mark Knopfler. Wonderful, amazing.
shit scaringly hard to do in front of a live audience If you are not mark knofler good show
GOD BLESS MARK KNOPFLER!!!!!
My grandfather was born in Glasgow. I'm a northumbrian, this is an anthem for the North.
The bag pipes,God's gift to the music industry. 🎶
At least to the sound engineers. "Can you make this sound good?"
Mind-blowing... absolutely beautiful performance.
Yep!
The guitarist should have a hat. Everyone should have a hat. The world would be so much better if everyone had a hat.
One of the best night of my life, show was good but the pipers in a league of their own xx
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m speechless ✨🙏🏻✨ the power of music 🤍🕊✨
What can I say simply amazing and so talented well done lads am so proud to be Scottish from a 75 year old lady ❤❤👏👏👏👏
I happened to be there for this and it was a truly moving moment, absolutely great atmosphere
The song is the first on the "Parallel Tracks" album by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards...in my opinion one of their best albums, I highly recommend it www.amazon.com/Parallel-Tracks-Royal-Dragoon-Guards/dp/B000086BB9/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_5
My wife and I were at the tattoo when this was played just brilliant thanks to our family for a great time.
you might say this is epic
I think this is the theme from the wonderful movie, 'Local Hero'. Don't know if it is called 'Going Home' but I was expecting the one from the 'New World Symphony'.
