Local Hero (HD)

[mrcathy21]

.......................si belle .....

[MrBillBlitz]

this should be a national anthem, and would be the most beutiful

[adidaslou]

I agree with andysonline. This is such a beautiful piece of music. Like most excellent pieces, it needs no words. The beautiful music speaks for itself. Mark Knofler is an incredible gifted and giving soul. He is the very best at what he does.

[ronboy51]

Although it looks like a normal Strat, I think this is a Pensa guitar. That's what he normally uses. He has a deal with Rudy Pensa who makes guitars for him. Rudy has a shop near Times Square in New York City.

[talljoe1950]

Always thought he used a standard Strat, but this one looks modded. Any ideas what he has done to it ?

[jacobusbezemer]

I actually bought this album many years ago - I have the LP and recently bought a special USB turntable 'cause I had no equipment to play them on anymore :)

for those of you who don't know what an LP is or what 'buying' means, google is your friend :P

[gmg131078]

fucking unbeatable

[Bladerknight25]

This isn't music, this is much more...

[AdamSandaver]

@Bladerknight25

Indeed you are right, so much more.

[TheHarvey57]

local hero was a fantastic movie this is the theme to it

[tramlad2]

god wrote this surely,

[Bleppe123]

@tramlad2 Yeah, Kopfler is just another name for god.

[AdamSandaver]

@tramlad2

Must have...

[tramlad2]

[Lendritus]

INARRIVABILE!!!!!! Questa musica fa respirare l'anima... :)

[megalhaes]

A great example on how to make a guitar weep. Genius.

[marsia799]

Isto é simplesmente magnifico.....Sempre que ouço isto tenho e choro a tua ausencia.....Que bom era se aki estivesses!!!!!!!!

[pennyfarley1960]

This track I play in memoery of my uncle who passed away 2 weeks ago and loved this peice of music.How beautifull it is and how touching.

[TheFullmetalrider]

This track makes me travel soooo far away, from here ! it feels just... well, just like comin' home.

[wildhorseshadwell]

anyone who has not watched this film is missing a magical classic with a huge lesson to be learned by all , it is old now but well ahead of its time the old man is very wise the music just adds to a classic just as relevant today as when it was made in 1986-86

[MichaelNUFC897]

Newcastle United...

[NikoletinaCro]

Played this at a show a few years back... Much of the crowd didn't know it cuz we usually play for younger crowds, but they loved it anyway...it only proves that the song is timeless....

[andysonline]

Every time I'm feeling low, I listen to this and it works like magic. I really don't know of any other piece that's as beautiful. Live long Mark Knopfler. You're a treasure.

[jedwards63]

so good, teaching myself this now!

[freshborn66]

me and my partner keg, played this amazing song when we went traveling through some beautiful places in scotland, the scenery was amazing, money could not buy it, and this song was the topping on the cake for us ,xx thank you soo much, for this small memorie!! xx

[musicequalhappiness]

i have to say that i really had good fun reading some of your comments guys, honestly. Otherwise I have nothing else to add to what's been said about this majestic tune..we all understand the beauty of it, good day

Makes me proud to be a Geordie.

[damon366uk]

I kinda feel like i "float" my way through listening to this......;-)

[bigmikeno1]

Wicked still one of the greatest guitar heroes.......

[porden48]

The 29 people who disliked this are going to Hell!!!!!!

[MegaBanne]

@porden48 It's funny... That you believe in hell.

[CallMeMister99]

This was a seriously studied performance - at times I think the band have been "yeah, let's just bang out 'Local-Hero' and we're back to the hotel/coach/airport" - but THIS time, it was given the respect it deserves, and allowed to breathe. An ear-bath. ;-)

[gtr1359]

@CallMeMister99 and a beautiful way to say farewell at the end of an evening of music

[linkinnoom]

สุดยอดจริงๆ ฟังแล้วน้ำตาจะไหล...

[Geordiegaga]

@linkinnoom เพลงนี้เป็นมายากลสำหรับเวลาของ­เรา

[Mr5maggio]

Questo e' quello che ascolta il Signore prima di andare a riposare.

I THINK THIS TUNE IS A FITTING TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN FROM A GREAT BAND TO A TRUE GEORDIE HERO !!

[catbells69]

R.I.P. Gary Speed, Toon hero.

[BeavSplat]

24 people are gay

[Zato76]

[minislayer2010]

Yo Mark................YOU THE MAN

[grahamt1978]

[freshborn66]

this tune is part of my life, with my partner, going up to lochlomond , driving in the car, in the winter. beautiful xxxxx, thanks

[Mr5maggio]

23 figli del diavolo dicono pollice in giu' per questo canto degli angeli

[saykne]

Whoes the 23 who doesen't like this ??

[Bladerknight25]

How can someone equalize the guitar like that?

I meann... no one can't, and no one will ever be able to play like that ._.

Mark, you're the only, the ONLY ONE, who can be called the God of the Guitar... what the fuck am i saying? The god of the whole music.

Thanks mark.

[misti102]

the best performance ever...

[Alexiaden93]

240p isn't what I would call HD, but who cares. Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest musicians, even in 10p.

[MaryTiemens]

Mark Thank You..

[Jukka1966]

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Mark's Stratocaster and his tube amplifiers sounds really good. 

[delron44]

only a complete and utter moron could,nt like this

[porden48]

That Red Stratocaster....Dear God, its amazing.

I'm 15, and i'll tell you one thing, this sure beats the hell out of the crap my friends listen to! I really wish they could expierience this too, but sadly they will not...It makes me sad...my generations screwed....It just inspires me to be a musician...One day im going to bring music like this back to the world...just wait...you'll see...Thanks Mark, you're my inspiration, you always have been...Couldnt have done it without you.

[gtr1359]

@porden48 dont wory-there are more of you than you think. i teach guitar in schools cfull ti me and there are planty of mark knopfler fans out there-they just dont shout about it. keep the flag flying for this stuff tho

[SuperDannyorange]

a brilliant song played by an absolute legend,it make my insides tingle every time i hear this song mark you are the greatest thank you for bringing this sort of music into this world it'll never be forgotten

[Lualua25able]

Get to hear this tune every time I see my beloved Toon play.

[SoliDeoGloria2008]

Nearly cried the first time I heard it. Thanks OP ;').

[SouthernBeast666]

Oh gosh,Mark Knopfler,why do u have to make me shiver every time?

[vwcaddylowrider]

to the youth who got thw rowng link,,this is what musc is really like,,,it matters and has an actual affect on a person,,this is simoply brilliance,i feel sorry for my daughter who will never apprecate this for what ot is instead it will be her dads music,,either way its excellence in any way ...

[pakitovillanueva]

the best song of mark knopfler,unforgettable......

[Mr5maggio]

Immenso Mark solo tu puoi regalare emozioni e senzazioni uniche.

[yourLadyLittlleJane]

Que du bonheur ! merci !!!!

[luisimgb18]

It's sad that nowadays,names like Justin Bieber are put on the top.Ask a teenager who is best ,Bieber or Knopler,and cry over the answer.It hurts but it's the truth.

[7ypHooN]

@luisimgb18 u're unfortunately right :(

[Tibbz2Tibbz]

@luisimgb18 Well, I am a teenager and that wouldn't count for me. However it would count for everyone else in my school :(

[KyOkanagan]

@luisimgb18 Nah man. When it comes to who's "Best" is a big difference. Beiber is not the best... He's just some popular bloke. Mark is the Best... Why? Because he knows music. He knows how to put it all together. don't confuse popularity with the best. Popularity don't mean shit.

[bobodd5]

9 9 9 9 8

[joshhardwick81]

Unbelievably good. Music in its purest form...

[eNNe93]

happiness tears



[shahin477]

[pkclaire3]

Omg. This is amazing.

[rnaja100]

amazing.



[Permuh]

This song is epic, but this clip aint HD, nor is the link..the link isnt even Dire Straits, but some random shitty football or rugby... i dont like you

[RonTaboga]

The Live Version of this is just so breathtaking awesome!

[bazadata]

this never gets going it doesn't get into a crescendo.

[grzesio64]

ten utwór jest ponadczasowy.BRAWO MARK !

[wbravo66]

the night GOD played guitar

[PAL669]

This is truly what music is all about!!!

[DJRoyMalloy]

Seriously.... no realy.... SERIOUSLY.....

How can you NOT like this???

I mean.... seriously!

[Kudedado]

@DJRoyMalloy or even worse, i understand indifference, but how can someone dislike it??

[boredkeent]

@DJRoyMalloy I'm close to disliking this, because of the false (HD) tag, and the false annotation supposedly linking to the actual HD version. Out of respect for Mark and this great song, i think i won't thumbs it down.

[DJRoyMalloy]

@boredkeent

And now you want a medal???

[boredkeent]

@DJRoyMalloy Just a pat on the back would suffice.

[DJRoyMalloy]

@boredkeent

I'll give you one thumb up then :)

[mejunestv]

@DJRoyMalloy some people just dont know music. this is F%&KING genius

[DJRoyMalloy]

@mejunestv

You ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about that Mejunestv,

thanks for the support ;)

[Miryamprince]

@DJRoyMalloy FANTASTIC...



[bamop09]

23 People don't know the meaning of legends!

[turtle343434]

don't click on 'click to watch in HD' !!!

[bazadata]

I disagree with nothing. What if I put Local hero on my xbox? The film, and how it builds up to this crescendo? Hey it beats my doctors answering machine.

[bazadata]

And Burt Lancaster.

[SuperRonj1]

If being a super guitarplayer  hurts, then MK WOULD BE CRYING ALL DAY :-)

[hulahoops154]

so pure, i almost feel guilty nufc brought me here.

[MrMikeshag]

[gollumclawtooth]

My mum died in1993,this was one of her all time favourites,amazing, considering,she was 92 years old,still cry every time every time i listen to it,god bless you,Mark.

[TheRhiannonRees]

Just one rule to this song: if it's your first time listening to it on YouTube, you must press 'like'.

Beautiful song, beautifully played by a God. <3

[Fenner1976]

There is music, and then there is real music, and this is it. Played with delicate perfection. A timeless classic.

Amazing standing in an empty St. James park and you can hear the haunting sound of this and the crowd, no matter where or when I hear this the hairs on the back of my neck stand up... True local hero..

[AL76UK]

This has to noted somewhere next to 'immense' 'powerful' 'raw emotion'. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this, It is the most awesome piece of music out there. The most beautiful guitar playing ever.

[franku969]
