There was one played on 20.12.1980, in Dortmund, Westfalenhalle. This concert was broadcasted by a German TV, under the title In Concert. Though, I don't know if it also contains Silent Night because the version I'm familiar with ends before it. However, I've got the whole show in mp3, if you need it; but don't expect high quality recording. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: June 14 2006, 22:11 Hmmm....missed the duplication until this very moment (well...a couple of moments ago). I love Mike's version of "Silent Night." Years ago I played it during the holiday gift exchange portion of the kids' school party (I used to slip MO's stuff in whenever, wherever--my favorite was blaring it appropriately while driving in one of the parades). Anyway....the teacher liked the version, but the kids were more interested in the gifts than the music.   -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris."

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: May 12 2008, 12:25 Depends which bit.There's some guitar synth sounding stuff which sounds very like the 'slightly sampled electric guitar' sound from TBII which was from a Roland pick-up fitted into a PRS Custom(i think it's in the Custom but it could be in the PRS sinature) or it could be from the sunburst strat which,at that point also had a Roland pick-up fitted.The lead bit at the end is the PRS as well.  I actaully recorded a version using 7 tracks years ago and found an ebow gave a pretty goood impersonation of the sampled sound. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: May 21 2008, 07:54 I love playing with the speed on stuff.Highly juvenile i know but funny.My DVD playing has a Key function so i can 'speed it up' or 'slow it down' in pre-set increments.It doesn't alter the speed though,just the pitch.The upshot is that you can 'speed up' the caveman section of TB and hear what Mike sounded like screaming his 19 year old head off whn he recorded it.No wonder he ruined his voice!Try it. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.
