Without Alan in 2002 it was not really DS.
He was the man that built the keyboard sound and arrangements for them.
I totally agree. DS wouldn't have sounded the way we all know, without him
for many fans,
Alchemy is DS at their best, and of course Alan's arrangements are at least for 50% in that sound
I like Wembley 85, but to me it isn't the holy grail of DS videos. It lacks
Ride across the river, my fav song from this era
I'd prefer the unrealeased songs of
Alchemy, or these other 82-83 shows I've never heard of.
My 2 first unofficials gigs I've seen on TV were Chorus 78 and Mandela 88. Of course, they're avalaible on boots, but their official release will make me happier than Wembley.
Tunnel of love is great in 85-86, but I miss the transition with
Portobello Belle, like in 83 (in 82, it wasn't yet)
The ultimate version of
TOL would be :
Portobello Belle linked to
TOL, with the sax transition (as in
Alchemy), and then the Uniondale version
