Andy said that there was a show they did in maybe Argentina, on the Zenyatta Tour, or right around that time, where he said that it was probably the best version of Don't Stand So Close to Me they *ever* played. Is there any way at all to get a hold of this? Were these foreign shows recorded?

the shows in Argentina were recorded and I've got them (at least parts of them), but I would have to check if DON'T was really that good... but the description "maybe Argentina or right around that time" is not really precise

Second, what happened to his pink shoes? Does anyone know if he's planning on wearing them for the concerts, or if he could be cajoled into doing so? :-D

so you've still got your shoes from 1980 ?

Third, it says that Zenyatta was remixed and COMPLETELY redone by the band in one day of frenzied madness. What happened to the original album !?! Does anyone have access to the original? I thought the Ghost demos were really neat, if unpolished, but a whole different version of Zenyatta!? Wow!

you bet that Nigel Gray still has these...the remixing was done on August 17, 1980 - on a free day on their French tour. And that's where Stewart ate the meal which his stomach didn't like. The next day Jeff Seitz had to replace him.

On a side note there, Shadows In The Rain was originally a jazzy sort of number by Sting.... so what happened to his Zenyatta demos?

the Zenyatta demos exist but they're not in circulation

too bad :(
