Long Forgotten Story
This segues out of Torni and should be played immediately after yesterday’s file (Torni - Music For Two Towers). This song was only played during this tour and unfortunately never reappeared in setlists again after 1991.

Torni – Music For Two Towers
This song was released in some shops on a promo single that came with the Giant Normal Dwarf album. The original version is about 10 minutes long. The GND Tour featured this shorter version. The two remote controlled towers that were on stage performed a dance while this was played. This version was originally broadcast on the radio, but had the presenter talking over it explaining what was going on. This is the version without talking! Requested by Maarten.

Concert Medley 2
This is the second part of the concert medley. This part covers a lot of songs from after the intermission. Between the two parts the band actually took a little rest, sitting and lying on the stage… After the show they were extremely proud of this medley! Audience recording. Requested by Jos.

Concert Medley 1
At the request section during the Ting concert in Hengelo someone requested the all the previously played songs. Surprisingly the band actually did this and played a completely improvised medley of all the songs. This is the pre-intermission section. Audience recording. Requested by Jos.

Recorded at the Swiss Paleo Festival where the Nits have performed several times. It was broadcast live on the radio. Requested by Jasper.

Nits & Orchestra – Room #7 Moved By Her
The Hjuvi project was once performed after the original recording and concert in 1992. This occurred in Switzerland at the end of the Ting Tour. A local orchestra from Winterthur played the whole composition with the Nits. The band played a regular concert after the orchestral part. There was again a planned performance of Hjuvi in 1994, but unfortunately that was cancelled at the last moment.

Tutti Ragazzi / Telstar
A fun version of Tutti Ragazzi. It was always played in the beginning of the Nest Tour, but it was dropped from the setlists after a few weeks. This version from near the end of the tour was the result of a request. It has a great intro and a quote of the 60s song Telstar in the instrumental section. In the early years they always included this quote in the song, so it's great they hadn't forgotten about this! Audience recording.

Acres Of Tintoretto
This is the original arrangement of Acres Of Tintoretto. Most songs from the Kilo album were first recorded in uptempo versions, but this is the only one of which the original version is circulating. In concert the band used to play it similar to this version, it wasn't until 1989 before they played it in the jazzy quiet arrangement.

Loudspeaker
This is an unreleased Nits song that was recorded as a demo in the period before the debut album. To me it sounds almost like a song by The Who.

Empty Room
This is one of the heaviest Nits songs on record and in the early tours it was even wilder live. For the Adieu Sweet Bahnhof Tour they rearranged the song somewhat and made it less guitar-based. The song still is pretty heavy, because the sequenced synthesizer sounds take over to drive the song along.

Henk, Arwen & Titia – Crime & Punishment
Arwen and Titia were both in Den Bosch in on the day Henk had his solo performance there. They met and decided to do one song together. Henk dedicated it to Theo van Gogh, the Dutch movie maker who was murdered the day before almost right in front of Henk's house in Amsterdam. This song definitely is a flash-back to Wool-period Nits! Audience recording.

Stips – Walter And Conny
Recorded during Robert Jan's 1999 Greyhound Tour. He played a few older songs, including this hectic version of this Nits classic. His band consisted of Mark Boon on electric guitar, Judith Sijp on cello and Robert Jan himself on keyboards and drum machines. A unique combination of instruments! Audience recording.

The Vermillion Pencil
This was recorded during the summer 1987 concerts. This is a great enthusiastic version of this song. The intro features some improvisations by Robert Jan. He is quoting something that sounds very familiar, but I can't recall what it is. Any help would be appreciated…

Frits – Leven Na De Dood
This was taken from the official Frits live video. At the time this was a rather unknown song. It's originally a Bob Dylan song (Death Is Not The End) that was translated by Freek de Jonge. He had performed it by himself in earlier shows using the street organ that is also heard in this version. It was used again for the Frits project and a few years later he recorded it again together with Stips. He changed the lyrics once again to be a humorous take on some current affairs and it went, to everyone's surprise, to number 1 in the Dutch top 40! The Frits version is a bit more general, but very nice to hear.

I Don't Really Know
This often was the last song during concerts of the Kilo Tour. I think it's an unreleased Nits tune. During the Kilo period they recorded several uptempo songs, some of those were rearranged to slower versions for the album and some remained unreleased, this is probably one of the unreleased ones. The title is uncertain.
