Just to be clear, I'm not talking about bits of covers that the band have played or little impros between songs, what I mean is melodies that Brian has incorporated into his long 'Brighton Rock' type solo.

So regarding I Feel Fine, was it played as part of Brian's solo or just as part of an improv between songs?

Also, what is kalinka?

Please feel free to list more if you know them.
masterstroke_84
31.10.2008 08:14		 Except I Feel Fine in 1986, the other three that I mentioned was during Brian's solo...

Kalinka is a traditional russian tune

The T. Stooges was also par of Brian's solo in earls court

Sakura, Sakura... another traditional tune (I forget that one!, amazing in Super Live dvd)

Concierto de aranjuez (during Brian's solo in Madrid last time)

I dont remember anymore now..

31.10.2008 08:17		 Holly- Kalinka is a very famous Russian melody... Probably the most famous Russian melody of all time.

Silent Night was in 1979, at the Hammersmith Odeon, in London.

During the whole 2005/06 tour, he also played parts of Chinese Torture. ;)

On this forum, certainly.  There are a couple others...

But in the wider world, they're around!

01.11.2008 08:07		 Holly, the poster on YouTube says that he did not record the first part of the solo with the Concierto de Aranjuez:

comenzo tocando unas frases de el "Concierto de Aranjuez" con Chorus y Delay (esta parte no la grabe)

he started playing some phrases of the Concierto de Aranjuez ... (I did not record that part)

It will be on part 4 of the amazing video that is shared on QZ at the moment :-)

Wouldn't a jazzer know that it's "Sketches *Of* Spain"?

02.11.2008 05:24		 Okay, here is the bit from the Madrid ripped from the amazing video shared on QZ. Andrea Bocellis sang this tune on the Pavarotti and Friends concert in Modena 2003 where Brain and Roger played, too.

I did not find the clip on YouTube but here is the same song on another occasion

Thanks again YV. It is good people like you that make this site worth visiting.

This is probably the nicest thing Brian has done in his solo for a long, long time.

The Three Stooges Song is "Listen to the Mockingbird" by Alice Hawthorne (pseudonym of Septimus Winner), published in 1855.

02.11.2008 10:07		 Brian also played a tiny bit of Loch Lomond in the recent Glasgow show. Unfortunately this clip misses half of it
