So Dave and Janick shares a solo and Adrian took the other? No?
Late response but to clarify the Futureal / Man on the Edge question:
Futureal has only one, long solo. Dave recorded it in studio, using delay and adding the harmonies here and there (playing them himself I assume, it always sounds like him).
During the Ed Huntour Adrian took the rhythm and Dave the solo, joined by Janick who kinda doubled him. Like Adrian and Janick himself would do on The Trooper and The Evil That Men Do. I say Janick "kinda" doubled Dave on Futureal because they're not playing
exactly the same solo, they start the same but separate. The idea was to reproduce the delay used by Dave in the original recording (like you know, they do on The Trooper), but since the original solo was largely improvised they both took some liberties.
On Man on the Edge, Adrian doubles Janick in the intro and harmonizes on the higher octave in the interlude. Dave plays the chords in the intro and the rhythm in the interlude. Dave and Janick take the solos.
You can check it on the
actual video recording of "Man on the Edge" from The Wicker Man single: the audio is from the Milan show and there is this video on YouTube that edited the official audio over the bootleg video:
The camera work is not ideal (there is a huge lag over the entire first verse and chorus, irrelevant to our present topic tho). You can also see that they copy-pasted the second "Falling down" in the chorus, because Bruce let the audience sing it.
By the way I originally came here to say how freakin FAST they were going those years. The post-solo to Futureal is crazy.
