it'll be great if u have the video to where bernard played "a girl like you" alongside edwyn on the same show. bernie was rockin on that too! he spoke thru the guitar.

When the single "If you could love me" was released in europe as a 2 disc set there were 5 butler/collins collaborations spread across them as the b-sides:

In a broken dream

Inside dealing

If ever you're ready

Hope and despair

In a nutshell

They are all really good

In Japan an exclusive mini album was released that featured all of the b-sides and some other tracks on one disc, the album was called "If you could love me ~ I hear a new world"

I have the Japanese version and love it!

May I be the first to congratulate you for posting this. It is extremely rare. Only one word to describe this performance... genius.

Well done for finding this. I remember seeing them do this on The White Room, I think. And was totally and utterly blown away.

A collaboration and a half.

I am sure this was a one off and there is no recording to buy anywhere. Which is a real shame because it is achingly blissful.

Incidentally do you have a stereo version of this you can post???

[NowLeaveMeNowGo]

I uploaded this in stereo, but youtube really likes to downgrade stuff.

Yeah, this probably is from The White Room.

I have never had a problem these days with that. I ensure everyting is encoded as if for HD, even though the quality may not be, and it comes out in stereo

@NowLeaveMeNowGo Can you upload again to stereo , because it shouldn't downgrade now.
