Thank you for the article. The beautiful version of Brothers In Arms has gone down in history.

Yes, absolutely. This emotional version still gives me chills any time I watch it.

[Robson]

Exactly. Me too.

Can't go wrong playing with a real orchestra... Not often it happens in the MK world.

Provided that we like this style:)

I was lucky to attend that concert and still remember Marks funny comment when attempting to play local hero with just him and Guy. He said he would also be working the lights with his feet.

BIA Still makes me cry played like that. Such a deep, emotional peice....

For BIA, I can't help but preferring the bad-as rocking version with Chessy synth from Wembley 1985

But Montserrat 97 version of MFN is my absolute favorite, even without intro. Very rocking, Eric Clapton and Phil Collins rule, the best!

I have never liked the Montserrat version.
I just gave a new try - and it stil  don't do it for me

But, but, later in the show, when Paul is starting Golden Slumbers, OMG, the tears are coming each time.

Are you talking about BIA, MFN, or both?

[ds1984]

BIA.

MFN is a killer version.

[herlock]

BIA.

MFN is a killer version.

Agree with you.
In BIA the guitar is drawn into the orchestra.
MFN is just perfect.

[Robson]

I prefer Sting in the MFN studio version. I am also thinking about Live Aid concert.
