This is the very first time that I've seen Vangelis perform this track in public, and Vangelis is known to be an extremely very shy person, he vary rarely shows his face in ANY public arena to do any performance unless he arranges everything himself.

Contd...

Excelente apresentação,na minha opinião Vangelis é sem dúvida o maior tecladista

de todos os tempos e um grande compositor, haja visto a letra de Conquista do Paraiso.

Increíble. Este tema, el de Blade Runner, el de Carros de fuegos... todos, todos, todos son increíbles.
