I've got quite a few tapes from the '79 tour and they nearly always
screwed up the opening queues for "Who's Gonna Win The War"!

Another great feature of Levitation which I think might be overlooked is
the subtle tone range of Dave's and Huw's guitar work. I've heard few
recordings which better some of those guitar tones. I really want to
know how they got that jangly bell like sound for the Motorway City riff
as I have never been able to get anywhere near it. Does anyone know what
FX units Dave had at the time?
