Rare pre-Roxette live material

Diggin’ at YouTube, I came across a live presentation of Marie & Per together with Lasse Lindbom.

I think it’s particulary interesting because:
* According to the (little) info in YouTube, is was recorded in 1985, so, technically speaking, it’s NOT Roxette.
* It’s Marie & Per doing BOTH of them LEAD vocals, in English, BEFORE Roxette, with another artist.

Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGE8jMTyvXo&mode=related&search=

Does anybody know anything else about this? I’d really like to get more details about this performance.

That’s ’Love The One You’re With’ performed at the ANC Galan (Svensk rock mot apartheid). It was even released on DVD in 2005.

It’s anything but rare, I already knew about it.

Thanks Gachy, I didn’t know about that. That make this even more interesting.
Still... I fail to see how the fact that you (or most Swedish fans) already know about it makes this un-rare... It’s not that I can go to my preferred music store in Buenos Aires and buy it, or comment about it with anybody in the same way I can comment about Roxette or It Must Have Been Love... is it?

I’ve had this performance on VHS for many years now. Makes you realise how much Per has improved over the years as a live singer!!!

Did anyone but me notice Per´s chords.. holding all fingers across all frets? Whats that all about? An early version of the “fake-just for appearances-not connected-guitar-thingy”?

Edit: It´s rather funny i think, during all these years, our guy has been wielding an electric guitar, but never ever have I heard a single note coming from it. Is he really THAT bad? He plays the acoustic guitar rather OK i think.. So why not crank up the electric one?

@ renegade
Watch GT25 live DVD you can hear it on many songs. Plays the end part of Billy with MP, solo in En sten vid en sjo I en skog, solo with MP in Ta mej nu ar jar din are some I can think of.

Well, about “Per not really playing the guitar live”: I also thought that his guitar isn´t connectet. But even on recordings of the joyride-tour I can hear him very good on many songs. I can hear it better today because I´m musician, too. But it´s very very silence... Since the CrashBoomBang-Tour was over, Gessle startet to play the guitar much more often in the studio and even live on stage more loud... on GT and solo recordings you can listen to him very loud....

Far as I know, Jonas Isacsson played lead guitar, Per played rhythm guitar... which isn’t as “active” as lead.
