Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been. -
He had a look going there... -

Does anyone know if there are concert recordings of this tour available to download free?
The Sheffield concert was released on CD a few years ago, but it's long since been out of print.Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.

Such a shame that this band with Clem Clemson and David Sancious had never an officially easily purchaseable live release !! Unbelievable even...Comment

That was a different band, the one for Animation and subsequent US tour. I have an unofficial CD release of that.Originally posted by Sharp On Attack View Post
UK Song of Seven Tour had John Giblin, Ronnie Leahy, Morris Pert, Dick Morrisey, maybe Clemson. I can remember jumping out of my seat when they did The Prophet!Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.

Still a great and quite luxurious band. From 1980 I remembered this fine live performance from german televison, he was part of the Klassik-Rock-Nacht, partly with orchestra.Originally posted by Ash Armstrong View Post

That live album will eventually make its way to sale. It's likely the show from KBFH which was recorded in Asbury Park, NJ. The quality will be better than past unofficial releases of this show.Originally posted by Sharp On Attack View PostComment

Wow, that's pretty great ! Funny, but I just recently made a Jon compilation album of Olias + Song of Seven, and I think these are the only 2 songs from SOS I included ("Song of Seven" and "Hear It"). Never really liked the title track much, but rocking up the tempo just about elevates it from Mediocre to "essential listening". I'm so unfamiliar with the Jon/Vangelis stuff, had to
look up "One More Time" track (it's from the debut Jon/Vangelis album Short Stories). Here's another one that YouTube found for me :

Wonderful version of I Hear You Now, the fragile Short Stories is one of my favourite solo-projects by Jon. From the Munich-show I especially dig the rhythmically Take Your Time, sounds like an Olias-outtake.Originally posted by carlmarx38 View Post

Yes, that was a fun 'I hear you now'!
