Preview of the real event
I'm going to the show tonight. I'll see what songs are used and which are not. This is the third version of "Chess" I have. This one is rare here. One new song is "The Soviet Machine", sung in a stereotypical accent, and uses part of "The Arbiter" from the original. Gemini, Sverige's answer to the Carpenters, are on this one. My least favourite track is "Heaven Help My heart", sung with less passion and charisma than Lady/Dame Elaine Paige ("Mrs." Tim Rice, the first Florence).

Chess in Concert
Chess in concert is wonderful to listen to. This live recording is not quite as wonderful because the live feeling is not really captured on this recording. This concert has been on the road for a couple of years in Sweden now and different choires and symphony orchestras have been engaged for different concerts and unfortunately this is not the best setting.

Highly recommended for "Chess" fans.
This is the live version of the London recording. It all sounds new again. You hear the crowd response, how much they love this show. The musicians are riffing on and sometimes improving on the original. Excellent.
