I have several questions about the song (beyond the obvious Behind the Mask statement), and wonder if you all had some inputs or information that could help.One was addressed in another thread: the Live cut.From the start- that has been startling to me. I know it is A LIVE cut- so that could be a clue in itself. I also liked what some of you pointed out in the Live from Bucharest Thread regarding how this might have been the first time it really stood out to TPTB HOW powerful Michael was and could be. If you listen to the intro, there is the tapping of a musical staff. You know, like the musical director does before the concert starts. The Majaestro directing his work? Michael again pointing out that only he gives the cues to start?Now, what about the saxophone? Who is playing it? I tried to find any reference in the booklet, but could not find anything. What could its significance be? If any (I wonder if sometimes an apple is just an apple- but then again, we are talking about Michael- so I doubt it). Every time,I think Saxophone I think Bill Clinton- but I doubt that's it. Any composers etc out there that have info on how and why sax music is used that could shed light?
It says in the booklet, "Saxophone: Mike Phillips courtesy of Hidden Beach Recordings"
OK, there is Hidden Beach Recordings site and Mike Phillips is on it. 2010 album called M.P.3You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Thanks for the homework, and trying to pop my balloon. I still like Bill for the sax... :lol: :lol: To m8ighty: TPTB= the powers that be, losers :evil: who aim to run the world, much to Freedom's detriment...

LOL- Its her! I think it's so funny someone else thought Bill! And here I thought that was just my weird brain- turns out you share it.And yes, the maestro comment was on purpose. I think it is very fitting for what is going on, indeed. Thanks for the info on the sax. I could not find it in my booklet- but that doesn't mean anything. It is small print. ( :lol: No LIE! @ Daniela, you must have eagle eyes!)I still do not have a clue WHY it was included. I just do not think Michael does anything randomly (none of that: "bam"- I'll just throw some sax in... One of my friends brought up a good point the other day as I tried to brainstorm about the Bucharest bit. She said, well, it was the only concert that he ever sold as a dvd. Hm...true.
