Which song?

[wespresso]

Hey guys,
I came across this picture of Mark and Hal. And I saw these guitars and I was wondering, what song were they playing? Mark is playing his tele. And Hal is playing a white strat, his own maybe?
Does anybody knows more about this?

Thanks!

Edit: the white strat is a Fender Stratocaster 1959 and is indeed from Hal

Wasn't it MK on a tele and Hal on his strat in Two Young Lovers?

the only song Mark played on his sunburst Tele in 80-81 was PORTOBELLO BELLE

The song was also played on a Rickenbaker :

the only one video that exists (to my knowledge) with this guitar in 80-81. around 3:15 :

yes the one he brought with him the first time he met Mark (quoted from the Oldfiled book)

Indeed Mark played TYL on the black schecter tele in 86 (e.g. Sydney), but in 83 he played it on a white SG (e.g. Alchemy) and Hal played a guitar looking like a Yamaha, not sure, and I don't know the model

the picture above is from the On Location tour (80-81) and TYL wasn't yet composed and performed

another clue is that Mark i using a capo on the tele, and TYL has no capo, while Portobelleo Belle could have one, depending on the tuning
