This has really been bugging me for the past couple days. I'm looking for a version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door and can't seem to get a hold of it anywhere. The version I seek is the one in 1996 when Ted Cristopher and featured Mark Knopfler on guitar for this version. I heard once on the radio and it just blew me away. Anybody know where I could locate it?
Hi Evolution,
From the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knocki n'_on_Heaven's_Door. (Please, copy the url and paste it in the browser, it seems the PHP has problems with the ' in the address.)
"With the consent of Bob Dylan, Dunblane musician Ted Christopher wrote a new verse for Knockin' On Heaven's Door in memory of the Dunblane schoolchildren and teacher killed in the Dunblane massacre. The recording of the revised version of the song, which included brothers and sisters of the victims singing chorus and Mark Knopfler on guitar, was released on December 9, 1996 in the UK, and reached number 1. The proceeds went to charities for children."
This link http://www.edlis.org/twice/threads/dunblane.html explains the incident and includes a link to a page with the instructions for the purchase.
