Doesn’t look like the pattern of a track being released fortnightly is being followed today, for what would be the last time!

Officially Walk Of Life and Why Worry. I don't know if officially Sultans of Swing, because it's available but not through the label.

Probably too close to release date now. Was half hoping but I'm happy with that didn't expect 3 "singles".

Yes I had to remove it this afternoon because Universal asked me to do so.
They change their commercial politics and said that nothing could be published before the release date

No

Jack is only quoted one time in the long text, when it's said he was in studio during recording sessions

I understand. Thank you.

I finally found the time to listen to the San Antonio live remixed by Guy.

I listened with headphones.

I have to say that I ddid't listen to the San Antonio bootleg very much, so I can't really make the comparison

(when I want to listen to BIA tour bootleg, I pick up for "Cocaine" 22th december 85 or Uniondale, or Stuttgart, or Wembley, or Sidney...)

my first impressions :

- all is very clear : voices, guitars, drums, etc.. all is very distinctive and that's nice
- a pure gem is to hear clearly Mark's national on Romeo and Wild west end. Gorgeous
- instruments are well balanced and match with musicians' positions on stage : e.g. Alan is on the left Guy on the right, Chris on the right, etc... (some live albums are mixed from the musicians POV, some from the audience POV, this is the case for this one. I will write an article about that subject one day  )
- at the end of Walk of life I missed Alan's piano solo. We can barely hear it as it is burried in the mix. A shame imho

musically wise :
- many highlights : Sultans Ride across the river, wild west end, BIA...
- TOL is not the best version I heard. during the outro I miss some licks that Mark ususally played on this tour, but not here. shame
even the breakdown is not top notch imho
anyway it's nice to have a 19min long TOL well mixed


I must have at least another listen before I will write my article for french webiste franceinfo, I guess it wil be published on 16th may

Yes, I agree with you JF, for TOL I much prefer Wembley, richer and longer outro solo. I actually prefer the Rotterdam official 92 version to this SA 85 (Blasphemy, I know!).

And for me this is also true of BIA: In Wembley Mark's LP weeps more, like after "in the starlight", and also Marks sill plays during the beginning of the rocking ending, whereas he stops playing for a while in SA!

What would have been great to have to celebrate the BIA album would have been a combo complete Wembley/Sydney restored and remastered Blu Ray. Songs are much better played in Wembley than in Sydney, but Sydney has the calpyspo SFA, the long Why Worry, Industrial Disease and Your Latest Trick...

I don't prefer TOL from Wembley. the video version i edited during the breakdown

the version I prefer is Uniondale ! 

[herlock]

Yes the video is edited and that's a pity, but you were talking about the end solo, and I think Wembley's is better than SA's!

Yes! So Far Away - calypso...
That's why I've always dreamed of Sydney, but of course I'm happy about the concert in San Antonio:)
