A great remix, still the same song but more upbeat and faster.

Sorry bout that - it's just an audio track. The only video version I found of it was really bad audio & video quality.

Went to see Dylan last year in Newcastle(for about the 4th/6th time) and as usual, he was awesome.

thanks yr inputs mo and woolly,

i have watched dylan quite many times since the mid 80's.
every time he plays in europe i try to fly over to one or two cities, and he's also played athens a couple of times.
i usually go alone, as my wife doesn't really share the same enthusiasm. last year i went to milano and birmingham.

re pink floyd, i 've seen them live only 2-3 times, but i also watched roger waters play athens in 2006 in one of the best
gigs i've ever attended...

me and wife actually just came back from a great CHICANE performance, never seen them live before, they were excellent...
i will try to upload a video sometime later, for the moment here's a real bad quality shot taken with my mobile phone:

The concert that this CD is based of took place 12th June 1993 at the Senate Square in Helsinki. Something like 70,000 people attended which is a huge crowd for Finland. Leningrad Cowboys is not a real band...they are an act..they are a combnation of artists belonging to various Finnish rock bands that were connected to Finnish film director Kaurismaki. The CD was a huge success in Finland because it combined popular American rock music with the old Russian enimies of Finns.

"This was written by my Finnish wife who thought that a Brit and a Greek knew this band was neat." Though the last time we were in Rhodes the greek bar tender was married to a Finn. Small world!
Attached is the CD cover and insert.

This a great track, very impressive for an orchestra to get close to the sounds of the original track.

Thanks to Mohammed, Woolly and Ir-ops, this thread shows the cultural side from the east to the west. Hopefully we'll get more contributions from East Asia and from below the equator.

How about some classical music mix with a different tempo? e.g.:
