olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Mar. 25 2004, 16:55 I dug out a very old tape of the london rainbow 1982 show, and want to know if anyone has a better copy or knows of web link? Mike played 2 new songs that night, one he introduced as "leprechauns", which became in high places later, and another he introduced as a "classical Piece", which became "etude". The reason i want a better copy is my german understanding is as bad as mikes speaking, so i can't hear what the actual title/composer is, certainly not Etude as listed on the killing fields soundtrack. Oh, and the notes i made that night were written in a very shaky handwriting. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

I've got Göteborg 82 in which Mike also plays these 2 tracks introducing the first as "a song about leprechauns". As OralcUK has said its tune was later used as the end tune of In High Places. Apart from Göteborg that as far as I know is the recording with better sound quality that includes these tracks, but I also know there's still another couple of recordings that includes them with some variations but less sound quality. If you're able to pay for them you can have a look here: http://www.platinumwebstudio.it/mike/concert.htm If someone finds or has got any of them, please contact me. Maybe we can trade And OralcUK, if you could share this concert with us I'm sure a lot of people will thank you Back to top

Put that on a rapidshare-like site. I'll see what my software can do then put it back up. I'll soon have a month off for x-mas and nuthin' better to do..... -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top
