'Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting' - with Horn Section?

Saxman_Al · 10-03-2014, 09:07 AM

Afternoon all, newbie here so sorry if this is the wrong section!

I'm beginning a project which involves looking at Horn Sections in Popular Music and the different sounds you get etc, for which I'm listening to a variety of well-known stuff with cracking horn sections - Paul Simon's Africa gig, Earth Wind and Fire, etc etc.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I once heard a version of Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting which included a horn section on that famous opening riff. I can't remember if it was one of his gigs or a cover or even if I'm imagining things, but I just wondered whether anyone on here had ever come across anything like that?

Cheers!

Could be that Austrilian concert double album that he recorded...........If you want some tasty horn sections try some Sly And The Family Stone, or Chicago Transit Authority.

Try "can't hardly wait" by the Replacements.
