    I THINK it could be because they didn't have enough people on this stage to perform it. I can't tell, but I think that Winter was at least 2 separate takes of the same song. To perform it live they might have needed 10 different horns. That many horns for only one song during the tour..............???

    Used the closing track as the recessional, at my wedding. Using this track to get through the hellforsaken spreadsheets that mark the end of that marriage [and the violence that, for me, made its outcome uncertain]. This track, and a lavender gingham shirt, jeans, and tall boots: the right kind of luck.

    I've had this since it was released and in my opinion it is his masterpiece.

    I remember seeing this on TV - I was in the audience at the actual show - as well as Durutti Column Hugo Largo played. This was an ICA fundraiser but it took place at the Cambridge Theatre close to Covent Garden

    I bought this on Vinyl in the Eighties and used to listen to it all the time ; and still have it.I always imagined what the performance might be like.Now I can finally see it.Amazing.This is truly one of Byrne`s finest works.Me and my friends used to play our instruments in our soundroom and re-enact pieces from this play.You can listen to this over and over and never get tired of it.Thank You So Much !! Hilarious ; but he is being very serious about it.

    I'm afraid not - hence a VHS tape nearly nineteen years old. The footage for this is a co-production of the Institute of Contempary Arts and the BBC, and comments on the Durutti Column set from the same show have said that even the artists may not have copies.
