@tonyokay1 If you read the comments I added when I uploaded the video, I put the european version sung by Jim Price on the original video with the version sung by Max Bacon. So the voice you can hear in this video is from Jim Price.
I love it when the door opens on the second part of the solo when he's going for it and for a second he looks well evil, ha ha. One of our most underated guitarists, technically and for output!
Different mix than the one I'm use to... single version I guess.
I think the era of music videoes has passed, hasn't it? Seems they use to be the almost inevitable next step after making an album. These days I wouldn't doubt if the big record companies and the (half assed) video outlets, mtv and vhl..., have agreements between themeselves. ...We'll do videos for our new and established artists, you'll gaurentee to play our poduct a certain # of times. Mmmm myself, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Both men are performing vocals on this version. Jim Price is singing the verses, Max Bacon is singing the bridges ("A thief in the night..."), and they're both singing the choruses. The version on the original American CD only has Max's vocals. Mike was introduced to Max by Geoff Downes, who produced both this song and the album by GTR, which had Max as lead singer. John Payne, who would join Geoff in Asia in 1991, also recorded vocals for this song, but Mike didn't use them.
Not in this version. This the one featured on "Islands". Here Jim Price does the vocals, since at the time Max Bacon had a contract with another Lable, so they couldn't put it on the album.
Therefor only the single has Max Bacon. Mite be, that there are some copys of Islands featuring Max Bacon, but I don't know about any.
This was 20 years ago!! I am now 36 and it made me cry. Stupid uh? I suppose i am getting to the age in which rememberings make you happy and sad at the same time.
Great rock song from Mike, got extensive playback on FM rock stations in Australia in 88', and reached the top 10 on USA Billboard's Album Rock charts as well.
got the dvd elements which,have to say is great
