IF ?! Copper, Green, Deeply Darkly Black + Beautifully Blue. . ;) Is a Beautiful picture there Steve.
This recording and ten minutes version of TPK is excellent too. Cheers.
Wish they played TPK in NYC. This is a great updated version. Re-releasing this "laid-back" version would be tops!

My only beef with the new version is the choice of patches they made. The part and bass, both voyetra on the original I think, sound really limp and sloppy and flappy, not at all the ultra-tight noises they were. I suppose Mr Lyons is to blame rather than the band, surely he should have realised that the program used on any given synth is vital to a tune like this, especially since his re-work of BM was designed specifically to capture the original recorded version as the NO live versions were played on a different rig for years.

Maybe in October?
If I make it over...
they could still do it...
it really is the last song of theirs that I have not heard live that I want to...so please, Bernard...maybe???
I bet I could find at least one of the lasses from here that would be willing to give you a handjob...
Why not cut out the middle hand and do it yourself? I doubt she'd have had as much practice, after all! 
:D :D :D
And yes, the new version is two semitones lower than the original. Wonder how that throws off that crazy mad run Hooky does at the end. LWTUA, OTOH, is up two...I heard something about them changing the keys of some songs mid-career to better fit Barney's range, so that's not so strange, but oddly, the live version of Crystal is a half-step off too... 
I'm with you, Jeff, also hoping for (A) another US visit soon and (B) that I can get over there in time to catch them live with the home crowd at least once before they bugger off to the big Pernod bar in the sky.

Here's a TPK from 1985 at Hemel Hempstead - not the best recording but bass where it should be as lead guitar and frogs too! Just on ten minutes with all the intro thumb twiddling....
Weird... I wonder if the sequencers were flaky or if there was trouble with the taping or what, but the drum/sequencer bits seem a bit off... like they were played live, though they're obviously not.
Otherwise, though, this sounds fantastic. Flawless performance by all and everything in its right place and sounding great together.
