I'm not surprised I guess; the only thing that really sounded different to me was more reverb on the vocals, and it is after all a YouTube clip so who knows how the uploader managed the audio along the way.... That being said, I don't question the talent behind (or the quality of) the later material, but I personally don't <i>enjoy</i> it, especially in the context of their larger body of work. But I'm glad they have an audience somewhere, as I would be for pretty much any act... Thanks for the correction on the Paris clip, Gloria.

There is no "K" in Nights In White Satin. I'm a pretty involved fan, but I don't care much for the 'hits' from the 80's. That said, the rest of the albums (Long Distance Voyager, Keys Of The Kingdom, The Present, Sur La Mer and The Other Side Of Life contain much more interesting material than just what was on TV and radio. Bears listening before discounting. :-) That entire Paris concert is a combination lip-synch with only some live blended in for ‘some’ songs.

This effect was enhanced tremendously under the influence of various drugs ;-) “White Satin” definitely had some creepy atmosphere about it, but that was exactly what made them so great – their ability to create so much darn “atmosphere”.

"go now" is absolutely fabulous, and i've always had a soft heart for "i know you're out there somewhere". it was on many a mixtape of mine. “knights in white satin” seriously creeped me out when i was a kid and always turned me off to these guys. “go now” is absolutely fabulous, and i’ve always had a soft heart for “i know you’re out there somewhere”. it was on many a mixtape of mine.
