Hey there, I stumbled upon this recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG0IhhkX2us&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
There's some serious noodling going on there ;-)
Does anybody know the exact date and location of this recording?
Thanks in advance!

Same night, same venue... same goosebumps...
It was Saturday Night Live from May 19th, 1990 Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center
These two tracks were played.

Thanks a lot! AMIT has become an endless mine of knowledge.
-
Pleasure! :)
I used to have a recording of these two songs and loved them, especially the part from 2:50 on on Railroad Worksong is one of my all time goosebump moments...
He was playing extremely well at that time, but looked very affected, pale and tired somehow. Don't know if he suffered under the typical heavy smoker's
side effekts, of if he has had hard times the years before, but his playing on this nice guitar was really awesome. Lots of great stuff on the Notting Hillbillies tour from that year. Snape comes to mind... with a beautiful Water of Love on a even more beautiful black guitar...

Thanks for the input so far. Next, I think I'm going to listen to the Swan Hunter recordings:

All this NHB talk has reminded me of how good they were, so at the moment I am watching Ronnie Scott's Birmingham 15th July, 1998 DVD. I was there and it was fantastic! MK was so relaxed at that time. :)
-
So, we're gonna celebrate the first virtual NHB party at AMIT. ;D
Have fun!

Woooow, Didn't know this version. Awesomeee! What a great guitar sound of MK :D
Thanks LE!

I completely love this song! Even the Jeff Healey version. But my absolute favourite is the one from Snape. Fantastic interplay between Paul Franklin and MK! And even when PF solos, MK plays the bass lines with his guitar and it is heaven. Too bad they left it off OES, I could do without Heavy Fuel or Calling Elvis. Also nice version from DS 16-09-1991 from Wembley. I wonder why they haven't include it on the night album. The Knebworth version is OK I guess, but hardly a replacement.
-
Definately one of my all time fave DS songs.
Such an energy & groove to this song.
Love the bluesy feel to it!!
Cheers. BBB

The whole of the Snape show is wonderful - just watched it again! "I Think I Love You" is beautiful and just the kind of bluesy sound I hope to hear from some of the new songs.
-
When I met Mark in 2001 I told him to include it in the next album. He just smiled!
Coincidently I watched most of the NHB concert from 31.07.98 last night with Chris Barber. Great show that one with probably the best Wild Theme ever. MK was particularly inspired that night, even Long Highway sounded err, well I'll quit the superlatives there! ;)
-
What a wonderful version of "Water of Love", I've never seen that before, thanks for posting. :)

Take a look at the Live 1990 Knebworth. A superior version, better soloing and in between licks (by MK i mean), more "soul" and feeling.

Love it... :)

After Brendan says :This one Mark wrote all on his own
(which brought in my mind the great scene from Blues Brothers movie, where John Lee Hooker plays out on the street, and after the song he says I wrote this back in 1950ies, and the bass player shouts out: You wrote it? I wrote it...Great moment, great movie) 8)
Mark says :This is from the first Straits album... :lol

snape rules. end of story. snape is my NHB Uniondale moment..

Yet so few concerts to compare it with! 1985/86 tour recordings must be way over 100.
