Peter Hammill - solo "Flight" (whole) - brilliant 1981 version - this is special

Nothing is nothing ...
Audio only, Peter Hammill plays live and solo the whole of the track "Flight", from the 'unofficial' album "Uptown Theatre, Kansas City, MO, USA, 28th August 1981". I love this song, and IMHO this epic solo version is rather special. This song was originally from the 1980 album "A Black Box", and took up the whole of the second side (of the vinyl version).

I have uploaded a few videos which I had to split into two due to their lengths being in excess of the ten-minute limit, but since I was advised by YouTube that my account has been enabled to upload videos in excess of 15 minutes, I have been contemplating whether or not I should merge such split videos. This is my first effort at such a merger, where I have previously uploaded this version of 'Flight' as two split videos. Obviously the audio is identically the same, but I have included here all of the same videos clips that I used in my previous split videos, so there is nothing missing. Some of the clips have been slightly speeded up or slowed down, or special effects have been added, plus I have added a few additional clips, such as at the beginning, but no clips from the previous version have been deleted, and they are in approximately the same order. For the moment I have left in place my previous split versions, but I may at some time in the future delete the split versions. Neither do I promise to merge ALL of my other split versions, but I will probably merge some of them eventually. I expect that my next 'merge' project will be my original footage from the Manchester concert on the 2005 reunion tour.

This is my 99th Video on YouTube, and my 100th video is already completed and ready for uploading.

I composed the video montage myself using footage mostly downloaded from YouTube (thank you Youtube). Please check out my other videos for more PH/VDGG and others. Please leave a comment.

thanx for this recording. He still is one of the greatest voices and composer ever. He seems to enjoy performing more and more . Solo or with Huge and Guy

He shoulda put this as a bonus track on the remastered CD of "A Black Box"!
