MK part starts around 47 minutes. Glenn also mentions Speedway being the first song he recorded with Mark around the GH session, completely different from the known STP version.

I bet even Mark can’t remember exactly which song appears on which record, as songs get recorded in different versions during different sessions.

My point was more that these albums and songs are sacred and holy stuff for US and to them its just.. another part of their work. Might explain also the big difference between them and us when it comes to setlist decisions. Most of the songs we want so eagerly to be played might not even be remembered by them.

Funny guy that interviewer. Asking first if Speedway is available as a recording and then later telling that STP is one of his all time favourite albums.

Very good interview by the way, thanks for the link.

Mark's reply: "I'm not sure!" ;D

I also remember Alan telling that MFN was very different during the early rehearsals before they went to Montserrat, that it was a kind of Rolling Stones style, and when cutting the record, MK changed it totally to what we know.
