I love this tune me and my m8s tour Scotland every year on motorbikes and i was a bit miffed, that i have never saw ally or phil live, if my brain serves me correctly i passed a hotel in oban this year and saw the posters that they were performing there, unfortunately i was with people looking for a watering hole at the time so they were almost a member short. I loaded this tune on motif xs8,added 3 tracks mainly grand piano, never overkilled it and its pure brilliant.
