Title: Live intro's to songs
Post by: H97 on September 14, 2015, 08:24:08 PM
The recent (well, not so recent anymore) playing of She's Gone as an intro to Your Latest Trick, makes me wonder what other songs have been used as intro's to MK's live songs. I even recall someone saying that one of Guy's tunes was once used as an intro?

LIST:
Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground: Donegan's Gone (2010), Miss You Blues (2013, 2012 too?)
She's Gone: Your Latest Trick (2015)
Father And Son: Golden Heart (1996), Hillfarmer's Blues (2013, 2015)
A Love Idea: Vic And Ray (1996)
The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond: What It Is (2001(?))

what's missing?

Caroussel Waltz -> TOL (this may be the most famous one isn't it?)

And Stargazer -> OUATITW

"Working on it" would be such a nice intro to a lot of songs. I keep hoping MK will remember he wrote that gem.

I would say that Stargazer was the intro for the whole gig, introducing the band (like the good the bad and the ugly in 80), not only for the first song

to me Stagazer has always been the intro to Alchemy !

Indeed.  It was used for RAtR if the former was the case too.

The Mist Covered Mountains --> Wild Theme (2005)

if we count this, maybe we should count long highway to going home in 1996 ?

but in this case , all songs that were linked in past tours (e.g. portobello belle to TOL in 83, or SFA/one world to R&J in 85 and Heavy fuel to R&J in 91-92) should be count ? :think
