Going Home again

[superval99]

Here is another version.   MK's performance starts around 3.55 - minus sound glitches:

[Silvertown]

Yes, it is not that bad.

[KnopfleRick]

He looks really cool, bless him.

Yes, he really does and nice performance, too! 

[Kris-b]

Yes, that video is much better!

Thanks, Val!

And he is still a cool  guy!

[Love Expresso]

Someone should really tell him to stop this. It's so devastating to witness. He obviously can't deliver one clean piece of  playing anymore.

[PensaGhost]

Major error?   I can't hear one, only a few glitches with the sound!   

2:45 of 3:51 (the short video) or 6:43 in the long video

Thank you, but I honestly wouldn't have noticed without being told the place - it is so trivial!  Maybe he had cold fingers!

I felt a sadness.  A song he should be able to play in his sleep was performed rough, without his magic touch and with a major greenie.

The GNR version had a certain passion about it but you wonder how many takes it took.

Just a little dramatic... It's a perfectly fine performance from a 71 year old that still has the desire to get out there Infront of people and do what he loves. I for one am thankful for this, not sad at all.

For me it was a very beautiful and touching performance - not rough at all and the error was hardly noticeable and certainly not glaring or major, otherwise I would have noticed it!

"I think when you hear playing like that you don't really listen critically so much as appreciatively. You're not listening for mistakes or anything like that. I think it's more in admiration of the total picture, the grasp of the total picture and the way that the artist is just appreciating the piece. Try to send it down the road the best way you know how, off to school in decent shoes"

Yes!

Instead of criticize him we should be thankful that he is doing well and appreciate his decision going out and play live in a time we are all threatened by this crazy virus.
Especially older people are at higher risk and Mark is 71.
If there is a mistake in his playing or not, I don`t care but be happy to hear him play.
Nobody is perfect and even Mark Knopfler is no exception.
