i always found this song to be quite moving. panic station, too, and 'unmerry-go round' i loved the production of that album, it was so futuristic for '84! I got my AH10 Ibanez in late '84. i love that guitar!
A song that has been a Fav of mine..inpeccable chord arrangement...In the studio version..I can see thats Allan playing all those chords..NO KEYBOARD PLAYER!!....Brilliant a virtuoso player and composer.. now my favorite axe man.
@TheKidstarj You are right....sounds very much like a keyboard in fact. Might be the most remarkable aspect of this performance, even more so than his blistering legato runs.
It was written on at least some of Alan's albums..."No keyboards"
Absolutely creamy chording in the verses!! Alan refers to that style as playing legato. Interesting contrast between the intro/solos, and the legato verses.
@biggbrattz slighlty confused there, mate. the legato is for the lead style. not picking every note. he grabs the chords with his hands, but that is not what he, or what we traditionally call 'legato;. but heartily agreed. i remember hearing this album the first time and just being blown away by how BIG those guitar sounds were. no keyboards needed...

Gotta give Wackerman credit where credit is due- he's a bloody tight drummer.

Paul Williams é o melhor vocal para acompanhar AH e banda, indiscutivelmente.

I thought that was a keyboard backing the verse on the studio recording. f..., it's him with a different fx patch. amazing.
