The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Bonjour Vincent! Firstly, thanks again for your gift - I finally got to watch it, absolutely brilliant! I listened to the samples of Johns cd on myspace and even dropped him a note to say how much I enjoyed them and I was surprised to receive a reply the next day from him! He thanked me and hinted t...

Thanks Vincent/Raul

I do have the dvd, just couldn't remember that snippet!! It's been a while since I watched it.

Thanks guys
Andrew

Here's a funny one - I'll never fall in love again...Mr Costello will have to watch his back!



Enjoy

What's this dvd you're both referring to? Do you mean the old BBC Arena documentary? I'm intrigued!!!!

Blue/Dennis

Mr Bennett has been performing that song as part of his repertoire for a few years now - you may have heard it subconsciously somewhere? Otherwise, a true coincidence!!

Andrew

Yes, it was one amazing night at the Kings Dock Summer Pops Arena back in July 2002 and formed part of his UK tour. The Maestro was joined on stage by (alas) Will Young and then by Costello. I was also lucky enough to see them both perform in Dublin a couple of years earlier. On that night in Liverp...

Hi nowmedical I agree that the song had great potential, though in my opinion it was lost on Young. His vocals (again in my opinion!) are lacklustre, flat and unoriginal - I really don't rate him at all. I saw him perform with Burt at the Liverpool Summer Pops and wasn't impressed in the slightest. ...

Great news Vincent! Let's hope a dvd becomes available following the airing.

Martin, if you read this - please keep us up to date!

Thanks
Andrew

Just read the sad and shocking news about Keith - I too would like to share my condolences with his family, friends and everyone who met him via this forum. A true Burt fan and a good guy, he will be sadly missed here.

Andrew

Many thanks Keith - just a shame about the movie!!!

One of my BB favourites this one - Great piano, great strings & great Burt!

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on what the flute-like instrument is that opens the song. Is it a wooden flute or perhaps something else? I just always wonder when I hear it.

Thanks
Andrew

Awful news, thoughts are with the family.

Andrew

Happy new year to you too SteveO, and to all the regulars of the forum - I look forward to another great Burt Year!

Andrew

I wish I was Vincent!!!

Is this that 'One Amazing Weekend' you mentioned?

Enjoy
Andrew

Great fun Willy - look forward to more of the same!
