(6564 kb)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…Nyon

This beautiful song was played at most concerts in the 1974 Tour. It
proves that having two keyboard players doesn't mean that every song has
to sound bombastic. Audience recording.Oss

A powerful version recorded at the big Roskilde Festival in Denmark as
part of the Omsk Tour. This concert was meant as their break into
Scandinavia, but outside Finland the band never became big over there.Roskilde

(2728 kb)Work Tour - 31 - Hands Of The Watch (bonustrack)
This song was only played at the first couple of cocnerts of the tour. It's a fantastic song in concert (even though this version is not without flaws) and it's a shame it was dropped from the setlist very quickly.Rothenburg

(2384 kb)Tequila
It's hard to determine if this is a live or a studio recording. It sounds like an improvised cover version of this famous song. The song is mostly instrumental synth parts over a busy, latin percussion rhythm. Henk shouts 'Tequila' every now and then. Short and funny.Studio or Live?

(1304 kb)Angel Of Happy Hour
This Wool song was played fantastically in concert. This version was
broadcast on the radio and has great sound, so all the parts can be heard
perfectly. It's clear how many touches every band member adds to this
song. Unfortunately this version is before Leona joined the band and
therefore does not feature her Irish tin whistle.
