This is by far my favourite song from Chess and there are some pretty good songs in that show. I would love it if some of these live recordings got an official CD release at some time in the future.
I love Barbara's voice but I'm honestly not convinced about the alternate lyrics - they make sense plot wise but there's something about them that doesn't feel quite as poetical - or even too explicit; I can see why they changed it for the show(s).
I wonder the story behind these alternate lyrics. I think they work much better for Svetlana, while the original lyrics made sense for Florence singing about Freddie.
Fantastic. Pity it's not on the original Concept Album sung by Barbara.
Stunning version! I love the alternative lyrics.
I think the alt lyrics were made for the Australian version
The Original and Best Svetlana.
Absolutely fabulous.
this voice has everything at once: feelings, desires, passion, decades, experiences ... wonderful !! A fan from Budapest
1956, Budapest is rising

This song is incredible
Such a beautiful and haunting rendition
Thank you. I haven't heard this version before.
Barbara Dickson is 😍. Fan from the Philippines here.
Beautiful
Fantastic.

When is this recording from?
Think this is from the 1990 concert tour set list
It's from one of Barbara's concerts, it's from quite some time ago, sometime in the 90s I would guess
Completely live!! Barbara is just the best
