Sultans:
He gets better and better, today the first big mistake not before 6.25 min..
, followed by a real fat riff at 6.47 min which is really cool, and the twittely bits are flawless! But all these versions have one thing in common:
Let's say, around 1991, you listened and watched breathless and stunned what he did and had problems following him and the speed of his fingers.
Nowadays, during Sultans, you feel a certain inner tension if he really will make it to the end - and most of the time, there is one or another little "break" that disturbs the flow because his fingers didn't do how they were supposed to be... But the energy of the song is still unsurpassed.
So do I like Sultans? YES! Could I live with it not being played anymore? Yes, because I think we already have had the best possible versions in the past!
A great video btw, very good sound and you can see Ianto doing his job from a very intersting camera angle.
