This is actually my favorite Al Stewart song. Just something so haunting and beautiful about the melody and lyrics. It's incredibly brilliant. Year of the Cat is a total classic for the ages but Lord Greenville is the obscure Stewart classic for the ages.

At around 2:20 he does a live echo effect. I love him.

@tommybass40 Check out Modern tImes and the Track The Dark and Rolling Sea

@hardball3313 Try Sunday everyday live at The Mill Sessions. That guy is doing great music. Reminds me of Al Stewart.
-
@GalaxyHorse Yep - and of course he played on Sutherland Brothers and Quiver's Arms of Mary - recognised his style before I knew it was him!
-
@M400fan Yes indeed, I was fortunate enough to see him on the Australian tour of 1985 (approx) he provided some very tasteful guitar parts-Dave Gilmour took the 'feature solos' of courser, but Tim was very present.
Al Stewart's 70/80's albums would not have been the gems they are without him.

"Lord Grenville" was the perfect lead-in to "On the Border"! Is anybody out there writing songs like this anymore?
-
@RailroadBill76 It would surely only be Knopfler who copied Renwick? But it's great to know Tim has influenced so many - hugely underrated talent - is he playing on this video? Was delighted to see him as second lead in Floyd's Pulse tour.
-
@M400fan ...all the big dogs listen to each other. Renwick has influenced tons of guitar players, but I can't say he and Knopfler sound at all derivative of each other even though they play like cousins.
-
@Mjollnir50 Do you think Knopfler was listening to it just before he wrote Brothers in Arms?!? They're REALLY similar! I think Tim Renwick must have been a big influence on his guitar sound.



can you buy this concert on DVD? thanks for posting.

No. Sorry. This was just a video I brought back from the tour. If you get in touch with the Flanders Philharmonic in Antwerp they may be able to help.
