In fact I always asked myself why they should play it in bb because you don't have the open string available in bb. Did you ever think of Mark using a capo at the first fret? But I think your guess is the right one. I prefere this version in a indeed, it seems the voice sounds better. Bye Maurizio Hi Ingo, thank you for your article, which is really helpful.

I've even burned it on a CD where I named it "In the gallery - original speed" :) At the same time, you talked about the edit at the end of the song. They have cuted the riff that Mark plays live in 78-79, you know the double stop licks, juste after he stop singing. And in the "MK Quizz" (do you remember old time on MKnews ? :)), you asked which song on the 1st album contained an organ on chorus. Of course, it was In the Gallery, but no one did found the answer (I did, but I've never write on MK news, just read) In the gallery is definitively one of my 5 top list DS fav songs.

They probably thought that it dragged a bit. Good job transcribing it! Much better in the Am key! They probably thought that it dragged a bit. Good job transcribing it!
