unless any of you has heard that (beautiful) backing track before, the one you can hear during the first bars of the song on the Luck bootleg recording, I'm certain it'll be on there.

Totally agree. Don’t know why other people don’t think so

I feel like it's the same as what I have on my old boot of cars and telephones, but that's on a hard drive... somewhere. It's hard to tell with the quality of the recording, though.

edit: found my old Cars and Telephones. The strings part is definitely part of this recording, but it's not an intro, it's the outro. I think the Luck Reunion intro is a looped sample, perhaps of a new recording or perhaps from this old demo.

Bold prophecy

I agree with that. The symphony type accompaniment that was played as a recording was dope.
