That version sounded great to my ears.

And yes, the bass player looks exactly like Clapton's back in 1996. (And perhaps more recently)

This seems to be the best video so far:

Not enough of MK and the band though!  I hoped we would see the whole performance!   Maybe we will see it again in full later in the programme, hopefully.  :think     Mark seems to be wearing a bracelet on his right wrist.   :)

Oooh, Hadn't noticed the bracelet?! - I will look later on the recording.....

No, I agree there was not enough MK and band on film but at least 'Going Home' was played almost in it's entirety!

Who are Chase and Status and why their performance was broadcasted and MK only got some fast snippets with the song on background?

I have never heard of Chase and Status and I don't know what their performance had to do with Newcastle!    I felt MK and the band were not given the airtime they deserved, especially as what little they had was constantly interrupted by speeches, etc!     We hardly had a glimpse of MK and even less of the band - don't think I saw Guy at all!   I'm pretty angry!   >:(

Exactly.  Going Home is the anthem of the GNR and we only got about 2 seconds of footage!  Sometimes I think the low profile he likes to keep is only to our cost.  :(
