Very nice, a must to record! :thumbsup

Isnt this more "Wild Theme" than "Going Home"....? An ending to a concert which I prefer actually to the more commonly played "Going Home"....its good there are quite a few versions of this on YouTube from the OES tour...
-
The ones with an account can watch live online. Not sure if I need an acoount to watch it later? It says "This programme will be available shortly after broadcast"

I love Wild Theme as the ending piece, so emotional, but I guess it puts too much stress on Mark, so he prefer the bigger Going Home now. Don't even need to play the guitar through the whole thing :lol

since OES tour Mark mixed the beginning of Going Home with Wild theme, so it's kind of Going theme or wild home ;D

Same, I loved it!

I was honestly a bit underwhelmed. And the guitar is not in tune with the keyboards!

True, but of course Mark is not a particularly young now, so we'll forgive almost everything by this point. Another story is that I can't imagine him doing another tour, as he said he will play live untill he falls over.

Me neither. And I really hope he stops before he falls over.

"I was honestly a bit underwhelmed. And the guitar is not in tune with the keyboards!"
I think it may be your ears that are slightly out of tune.
Beautiful version, perfectly tuned.
:wave

Nope, something is definitely not in tune.
Plus once again it's clear that practicing the guitar is not Mark's top priority. He really lacks the flow he used to have.

Exactly

Exactly. The only slight blemish I could hear was at approximately 2.03 where mark plays a tiny bum note, hardly noticeable. Other than that it was spot on.
I think you can tell that there is some physical struggle in his playing, but its perfectly understandable and in fact to me enhances rather than diminishes the emotional impact of the music.
-
Great point!!
Just to see MK playing with the World on its knees was poignant and very much welcomed...
I also feel this version was extra special, MK tries some new licks and there is some experimentation that sounded fantastic.

I didn't say he made any mistakes, but there is indeed a physical struggle, and I'm curious why that is. Is it lack of practice, or is it age taking its toll? At any rate - to me - I don't think this was noteworthy version. Others disagree, and that's OK.
You're a musician - you didn't register the tuning issues either? I hear it particularly during the first, quiet part. Like the guitar is a tad sharp.

I lost the 2014 versions. Someone help me?
-
I`m sorry, but it seems that your ears sometimes are not tuned to Mark`s music,
otherwise you would have enjoyed this every emotionally version of Local Hero. ;)

It’s still on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/going-home-theme-of-the-local-hero-live-2014-single/1445178681
The performance is actually a recording from the Privateering tour in 2013, though I don’t know which specific show it’s from.

I think what you're hearing is the intonation of the guitar itself. The amount of pressure applied to a string can also subtly alter the note. Definitely no major tuning issues to my ears, just the sight of the aging fighter standing bereft.....

Yes, it sounds like an intonation issue.

Gibson Les Paul guitar is notorious for its various and constant issues. When I hear all these great musicians dealing with this guitar perfectly I always think they should be happy because they always have a guitar tech around to deal with this guitar. When I had a Les Paul, it was a nightmare. Tuning instability, always lubricating the nut and the saddle, harder restringing procedures, the guitar itself is unbalanced and heavy. I mean Les Paul guitar is like a giant mansion or a really beautiful woman — cool to have, but you have to deal with unexpected problems and also, for a house analogy, owe a multimillion property tax to the government lol.
That was why Mark said in his video unveiling his signature Les Paul, that it "works out of the box". Yeah, because for this thing working out of the box you need to spend 15,000 dollars, no less :lol

But we going to try it again. Your guitar seems a bit out of tune

I think you may have a point here. But my fake Les Paul stays in tune perfectly, but is still quite heavy. Lovin' the tone though.

Honestly, your fake Les Paul may be of better quality than the real deal :lol
Gibson does it better nowadays, but in the time I owned a Les Paul, the company went absolutely nuts. The quality was bad beyond belief, you could buy a Custom Shop true historic whatever Les Paul and still needed a re-check of everything, redoing electronics and such. The quality was incoisistent, there were snags in the wood, bad paintjob, questionable materials, questionable electronics. I'll think 1000 times the next time I'll want a Gibson Les Paul :lol
I know that because I know a good guitar tech in Moscow and he goes through thousands of guitars every year, doing fretjobs and whatnot. And in his social network feed is an unbeliveable amount of Gibsons with an aubeliveable amount of ridiculous fails in all the price range.
-
Haha, he just posted yet another brand new Gibson that was brought to him for repair. So no, they still make American made and American priced guitars that features Korean-like build quality. I love that company... And it’s the same company that makes insanely good acoustic guitars. Go figure...

in my understanding, guitars NEVER stays in tune.
Our ears are "trained" to hear the instrument in tune. :P
Andy Timmons himself calls the tuner as 'the lier'
There some tools to help the guitar to tune, like Buzz Feiten System, Earvana Nuts or the True Temperament frets. The most strange is that almost all guitar players escapes from this tools because perfect tuned chords sounds terrible to his ears.
The reason why we guitarrists tends to use some sus chords or some chord inversions its because of the problems with the tuning from the guitar. Especially in the B and G strings.
Talking about Gibson Style Guitars tunning issues, the primary issue is that the neck is prepared to receive the wound G string. The plain G is softer and, because it is almost in the middle of the neck, cause more vibration and tends to be out of tune. High tension strings helps in the tunning stability.
My Les Paul never get his nut lubricated and "stays" in tune just fine. ;D
My trick is to tune perfect 4th chords at the 3rd fret. The octave tuning needs to be a bit flat at the 15th fret.
And thts it. "Perfect" tune 8)

not necessarily high wire. I use 10s in all my guitars.
Try to tune your perfect 4ths or 5ths, adjust the saddles to be a little bit flat at the end of the neck and thats it.
I hope it will help the Gibson lovers.
