the studio version of "quiet steam" is available on the "digging in the dirt" cd single and on the B side of the "digging" 45 RPM single. Stunning version, i love it!

Are you sure Evoulini? I've got it and I'm sure it isn't on there.

"Quiet Steam" was played live before "Steam" during the secret world tour.

yes - an amazing atmosphere with "Quiet Steam" live: By looking up to the big screen some black and white film sequences were shown with rails and trains - the "SWL"-film captures only a bit of this mood. Watching it live - together with the sound of "Quiet Steam" was quite breathtaking and impressive.

Thanks Sammy and NBLR!

I'm a club member from the first time and TATA. Time to post back @ Mak Ty for sharing the "Quiet Steam" Video Greets BDL

Hey Pursche. . .good to see you here! You are very welcome. . .great video!

"Quiet Steam" was also the B-side to the "Digging in the Dirt" cassete single (ah, those were the days!) Yeah, it would have been great orchestrated, but I was hoping most for Red Rain and so can't win the PG setlist lotto all of the time.
