I saw the Crest Of A Knave tour in Salt Lake City and Fairport Convention warmed up and David Pegg Tull's bassist at the time was in both bands.

Love this, this is when they beat Metallica and Janes Addiction for the best heavy metal/Hard rock award at the Grammys. Brilliant✌️

Dire Straits? I don’t hear it. But I guess you could say DS sounds like Tull. 😮

Despite this being playback. On the 1987 'Crest on a Knave' tour, when Don Airey played keys, he actually played the keyboards for this Live. Martin Allcock and Andre Giddins who performed this song in 1988-91 and in 1999, didn't.Well they played keys of course and did so fine, but the keyboard/synth-chord for this song, was just a backing track in 1988-91 and 99. Ladies and Gentlemen.... DON AIREY!!!

And as Anderson played all the keys on Crest of a Knave probably it is originally a sequenced part

@maxg.-musician02

2 жыл бұрын

Well...it's half true. Don was controlling the sequencer live on-stage (he'd re-programmed Ian's original studio part, into his own gear). If you watch the footage from Maple Leaf Gardens in 1987, you can see Don in the left-handed corner, walking around his rig, whilst the sequencer is active.

the terrific keyboard intro is being "played" here, rather than sequenced... sure a steel tempo player

Programmed drums and Ian [awkwardly] wielding an electric; good song but bad juju! Heard this for the first time while eating a pie and having a 10.30am beer after work in the Croydon pub. Bought the album later that week.

Good memories. I prefer the 'Rock Island' album over this, when it comes to 80s "hardrock" Tull though. This track', 'Farm on the Freeway', 'Jump Start', 'Said She Was A Dancer' and of course 'Budapest' are excellent standout songs and classics IMO.

Totally lipsynced. No performer does a song exactly from the album. Even see where Martin Barre would use the whammy bar but doesn't in this at the 2 minute mark.

Sad to see Tull syncing. No guitar chords (wires). This is the studio version. Hey uselessjoe, there is no flute in this song!
