Hello, thank you for your interest in this video. This is the full version of 'While A Bridge Is Burning', and the second of 2 takes recorded today. This is the first time I have played the complete song in 24 years (the session - stricly speaking, this video is the first time I have played the song in 5 minutes), and this is the 'standard; speed, the way I played it live. The preceding take, video 1921, is a unique slow version. I wrote 'While A Bridge Is Burning' way down the beaten track of my life, in 1986, coming off the back of homelessness, the first Mrs T government ("I pity the fool who votes for me"), and a divorce (of sorts). All that is in here, chronicled in an allegorical way (the "hunters... return to other lands" lines, for instance, refer to the Police behaviour during the miner's strike). As well as a lot more. This is same take as video 1922, but from camera 2 - this camera is set up to record the room sound, as a 'field recording' (I guess I should say why, after all these hundreds of videos - the answer is, simply, because that's how it sounded to me in my ears when I started out, busking). Video 1922, filmed on camera 1, has balanced sound, how I sounded in a live venue - ish.
