Gotta say, Magnus's drumming on these shows has just blown me away, he was an incredible drummer. My favourite of the new shows definitely has to be the June '84 Hallamshire Hotel gig.
It's for the previously unplayed tracks and I just think Magnus's drumming is incredible on that track. The horn that's blown on Silence, who blew that do you think? Also, who sings backing vocals on Take You Back? Any Ideas?
Re: backing vocals, could well be Manners. It seems he does the b/v on Anorexic Beauty in the '85 video (and this arrangement is remembered by someone who was at gigs at this time).
Wondered if it was Tim myself, though the absence of drums on the track could suggest Magnus. I'm kinda sure I've seen a pic of Magnus drum kit with a horn perched on or near it.
Mag played the keyboard on Silence. Tim did play the horn originally I think, but he'd left by this point and John Nicholls says it was Russell on Sudan Gerri so presumably that's also the case here.
