1. Who plays the piano solo?
2. One of the guitarists - Francis has also said that they never play the song right the way through because the guitar solo was sped up during the recording process and is impossible to play live. It doesn't seem to be that fast / complicated to me, is it?
Thanks.

Intro not much different to Fine, Fine, Fine or Hold You Back in complexity .

This guy has done a pretty good job: Looks like Steve Howe after the Slimfast diet. As for the song, the only time I've heard them play the whole thing live (on the Croydon bootleg from 2003), Francis cocked up the solo. The original doesn't sound speeded up to me but then I'm no sound engineer. |

I remember there being a live version that had an absolutely dreadful solo in the middle - it must have been the one in Croydon (unless that's just how he played it at every gig! ). |

I thought that Rossi stopped caring about playing the solos correctly decades ago.
