Great vid, thanks a lot. This is actually an arrangement of a classical piece by Antonio Ruiz Pipo. I have the powertab version, if anyone is interested. Bit of a handful to play, though. As Kevin Peek once wrote: "One day I'll write a piece that John [Williams] finds difficult to play - with an easy part for me, of course!".
My god - was that a smile from John williams at 2.20? Fantastic band - I remember buying this in 1979. I was 2nd year of high school and took some pounding from my mates as we were all into the likes of Motorhead & Judas Priest, although a few of us had a liking for the likes of Yes & Uriah Heep. Still - 30 years on and I still have that vinyl, and Sky2, and Sky 3..............................
Saw them in Sheffield when i was 12!!! Im 40 now and it still ranks amongst the best gigs i ever saw. Absolutely the best collection of musicians (technically) you could ever put together. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for posting
My Dad would have gone to the same show - City Hall?
Weird isn't, I spend all my childhood laughing at my Dad's record collection and I'm now trawling YouTube looking for Sky, The Temptations and Booker T and the MGs!
Lol fun song to learn on guitar, had fun doing this as a dua with my guitar teacher :P

This comment has received too many negative votes show
@ozuidema
This is such Kitsch;
and it's not a Classical piece; it's a Modern piece FOR Classical Guitar and it's pretty much ruined here.

I started listening to them after hearing some of their songs on the BBC series 'Great Railway Journeys' back in early eighties.

Although Francis Monkman is playing keyboards as this is early SKY footage, I'd like to say RIP Steve Gray, a true keyboard genius!
