Hello, do you know if there are any audio/video recordings from this concert? I have seen part of SOS, many photos, even Paul with ex-president Havel, but honestly people in Czech Republic doesn´t even know who Paul is :D ... so I would like to show to my friends that he is so famous that he played at our first democratic concert and that he supported us more than we recognise. Thanks Paul ;)

I think I have only seen parts of the press conference (and maybe show?) in the Born At The Right Time documentation. Maybe someone can confirm that, haven´t watched that video since years (well, we all know it should have been released on DVD years ago, but that never happened)

Paul played one song (Sound of Silence) on some sort of benefit (can´t remember the details anymore) when he was in Prague as an observer during the first democratic elections in 1990 and then returned for a full show in 1991 during the Born At The Right Time tour. The 1990 concert was broadcast live on TV, so there might be a recording somewhere, but I have never seen it since the live broadcast...

Unless I´m confusing it with something else, I think he actually played two songs at that benefit, Sounds Of Silence and Bridge. Both acoustic. They used to be up on Youtube. I´ll see if I can find them.

Some bright spark must have thought.......these winding cobblestone streets, those street lamps, the darkness. Yep , let Paul sing SOS here. Nice idea.
