Welsh Phantom
Ancient Mariner
[attachmentid=145]I'm a bit confused after watching the 'Legacy...' dvd. Dennis Stratton says he intoduced the idea of using harmonies on tracks like 'Phantom..', and said Steve really liked it. 'Fair enough' I thought, as I have always loved Dennis' playing.
But last week I got hold of an early Maiden bootleg from October 1979 at the Ruskin Arms (which really rocks by the way- 'Invasion', 'Phantom...', 'Another Life' etc) and features Tony Parsons on guitar with Dave Murray (Paul intoduces Tony for a solo spot). However, all the harmonies are present at this early stage!
Anyone got any ideas why Dennis claims them as his idea? (Dodgy memory/ trying to sound really influential to Maiden's sound/ honest mistake?)
