Banal. Bill Nelson

From the album "Quit dreaming and get on the beam"
I saw Bill Nelson perform this "Under the Arches" at Charing Cross in 1981. A Flock OF Seagulls were supporting but they were so loud that it hurt your ear drums. Bill however was cultured and brilliant at the same time.

Thanks for uploading this brilliant song. Good idea to set it to L & Hardy. Goes well. I was at the Charing Cross concert you described. Would be great if that had been filmed. Gutted I didn't know about the recent Bill Nelson concert until afterwards. Any Nelson fan should buy the dvd "Legends"release of the show, containing solo and Be-Bop material. A very rare treat.

Laughing Gravy..? Not seen it for a long time but I think I'll try and look it up in my L&H collection.

Oh, and this song is bloody good too!

Now sounds very ahead of its time. Killers or Franz Ferdinand would love to have a song this good.

hard fact from the fiction department, Bill Nelson is Genius

[Gunuph]

best guitar solo ever.

[NikkoCorfu]

Brilliant. If all the world were Bill Nelson fans, it still wouldn't be enough because then we need the "off world" folk.

Thanks. Met him once, decent guy.

Ace song, one of my favourite guitar solos of all time.
