Actually I never liked Going Home too much.

So an almost 10 minutes version with a lot of people playing licks non stop, sometimes doubling them... As I said, one minute of it sounds for me like too much, I can't wait to listen to 9 minutes more of that, lol.

But it's a great cause and I bought all formats, digital, LP, cd and cd + Blu-ray.

Interesting point about Going Home. I tried to remember when I purposefully listened to it the last time... I mean it's such a loud and energetic track, I wouldn't listen to it just at my leisure, I would much prefer something like "Wild Theme" or a SINGLE electric guitar version of Going Home. Not a terrible fan of the saxophone version either, and of course like many, the only association I have with it is the last song on Mark Knopfler's show. So it's a mixed bag even emotion-wise. One thing you can be certain it's must be atomically emotional for Mark. As long as he's happy, I'll take it.

"It shows the respect Mark has in the world of music that all these people have participated, and lots of them who I never thought would be associated with Mark"

Yes, and also the respect of many great musicians for MK.

I think many of us feel what the most active ones here have already described, that the result is "doomed" to be chaotic, but the cause is so good and the effort so high that you just got to love it! I guess we'll see the full effect after the  release, but so far, which artists have posted something? I don't follow a lot of guitarists. Clapton has nothing, same with Springsteen. Facebook suggested a Springsteen fanpage where it was mentioned. One of the replies was "I didn't know he (Mark) had a solo career".

These things aren't always a mess, multiple instruments and or voices can work together In music, just look at prog, Ommadawn Part 2 has over 1600 guitar overdubs at the start and it works, lots of Mike Oldfield's works has lots of things weaving inin and out. Again, I am going to reserve judgement until I can hear the complete track.

Whatever you may think of the music, at least the project has produced a unique photo:

I wonder what the 24 stands for... any football experts here?

No. The piece was filmed on Friday and/or Saturday when Mark was in Newcastle.
