I certainly hope Montserrat Caballé got paid an awful lot of money for being part of that song...

All I´ll say is that the press was all over Mike at the VIP club after the hand-over of the olimpic flag. Don´t believe everything you see/hear [;)]

That´s why I left the music industry and I quit playing. There´s ALOT of BS in the Industry!

Please fill us in with the info on Mike, the VIP Club and the Olympic flag. Wikipedia is a very reliable source, if you have more info, please let us know.

Still feeling a touch nostalgic following shunwick's posting of I don't Like Monday's . So thought I'd listen to a bit of Classic Rock/Rock Classics again. God I'd forgotten just how good the best of these were [X(]

Layla - LSO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urWqOOox-Qg

Another Brick In The Wall - LSO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M52IMmPzOa4

Fantastic to hear these again [&o][&o]

And one I'd not heard before (I'm sure this wasn't on the originals):

Since You've Been Gone - LSO

What? You don't like it? To each his own.

I like both Freddy Mercury and Queen as much as Warspite1 adores Tanita Tikkaram and Arsenal.

It is a bit strange really since I have a wide taste in music but every time I hear Freddy Mercury's voice it brings me out in a general wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Best wishes,
Steve

Iam afraid not Wings7, there´s things that can´t/should not be told. As they say, well they don´t but, "what happens in Rock and Roll, stays in Rock and Roll".

I´ll just let you in on one thing that happen that night... They wouldent let me and Mike in the club because Mike was wearing a sweat suit/track suit and the guy at the door had no idea who Mike was. We had to wait till my boss came down the stairs, which was 5min. later.

As in most show´s (the hand-over of the olimpic flag in Barcelona, in this case), after the song/show you usualy take the artist to the best club in the city, if he/she or the band wishes to, or take them on a small tour of the city. Nobody knows where you are going and its usualy a VIP area.

This is the event that took place, I was with the fountain lights and later took Mike to the club...

It was funny because the back lights of the main building in the background are WWII search lights that have to be lit 2min. before because they light up with gun powder! It was a complicated situation to coordinate with the rest of the lights for the "grand finale" [:)]

Interesting story, thanks for that and for the YouTube video!

I still think Mike wrote the song. If your a star, you add a arrangement with a couple of notes to a song and your now co-writer! Iam not saying anything, "who knows", just saying this has been pulled off so many times in the music biz, that it´s not even funny! For the "Image" of the artist you might never know who did what!
