July 12, 20179 yr While looking around on youtube this evening I came across this version of a classic I didn't know existed. Here's the back story to it....In 1989, artists from Pink Floyd, Queen, Rush, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Yes, Iron Maiden, Free and others joined forces to raise funds for people affected by the Armenian earthquake. Kerrang (magazine) called it "the greatest array of hard rock talent every assembled". Organised by Jon Dee, the remake featured David Gilmour, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson and Chris Squire on guitars. On vocals it had Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson, Paul Rogers and Bryan Adams. Keith Emerson and Geoff Downes played the keyboards and Roger Taylor played the drums. Artist lead in during the 1st minute and a half, and the actual remake of this classic starts at 1:28......killer version!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0E7b4ri4xg
