Never in my life thought I'd see this again! I saw the show twice in the West End. It was so majestic and powerful. Paige and Korberg were absolutely wonderful.
I had the great opportunity of seeing the original cast in London twice! It was the most amazing show. We had the second row the second time. Wow! Simply the best. It brought us all to tears. We were floating out of the Prince Edward Theatre. Thanks for posting. Great memories of my first visit to England at the age of 19 years old. :)
Elaine Paige, Tommy Korberg and the rest of the songs (as featured in this video) can be found on the original concept album (with the added bonus of Barbara Dixon). I believe ITunes has it. Please make sure you choose the Black Album with the White chess board squares (askew) in the upper right hand corner. Personally, it's my favorite version of this musical.
There is a full video of the full show recorded at the Prince Edward theatre but no asking about it. Some facts recorded by the theatre in house camera soundboard on full video is very good. Just facts I know about this video.
AMAZING to see this so many years on, I saw this 6 times at the Prince Edward and it is and was incredible. Thank you so much for posting and for the amazing memories. Elaine and Tommy are unbelievable!
i already got it on cd thank you very much. i was talking about the live performance of it! the ones i need/looking for is the concert version in 86(not 2009 in london i have that too),the complete chess album with danish cast 2002 tour they sing in english before they sang it their langue & chess the demo recording. i hope this helps.
i love the little melody that can be heard the first 40 sec, whilst hearing the notes i sing the words to my self "but he's a fine player...but he's a fine player"
The sound quality is so much better on here. I know the full version is here on RUclips, but the sound on that is bad. Do you have the full version with this better sound?
wow! Thank you! would send me a list of the recordings you have i loved to see which i don't have/own to be safe. thank you very much. i love most musicals & this is one of them! this musical not been on stage execpt that concert version in london but i think they should make a movie of chess. by the way do have a facebook?! because if you do i'd be very happy to add you.

Wow - this ending is just wonderful- so tense right until the end. I wish they would bring it back to the West End with this version

It's really amazing that from such a tiny little body there's a fabulous gold-like voice

You mean the melody playing by the Celeste and Strings?
Predictable! He is a machine

I love this! i want the cd of this show & where can i find it! please tell me?! Bravo for this cast!
They're both magnificent!! Does anyone know if there exist better bootlegs this one?
I have some recordings from all the Chess companies since official released and bootlegs also some demos....
Where can I found this video complete I mean all the show recorded????
Do you happen to have the full show?
There is a full version on RUclips, but the sound quality on that one is terrible. It’s the same thing, but again, the sound is bad.
Did they ever get the ending right?
I add you at my facebook page, I love chess and send me a private message to my youtube or facebook to send you the list
