Thanks! Will you believe me that when I first watched this yesterday night, I managed to miss his chuckling because I was so blown away by the overall performance? :oops: But, yes, of course this is an absolutely great one! 8) As is his slight amusement still lingering at 5:08 - and another thing that I like particularly here is the way he mutes the last syllable of "Hallelujah" around 2:39...

Wow! That Hallelujah clip is fantastic (as is the chuckling!). Looks like another great show in Dublin :D

Yes, on Live in London, it is a rather menacing chuckle done with a slight smile ("lay beside me, baby, hehe"), and then the smile disappears and he says "That's an order!" in a very firm manner. He can act, too! :D

This is way more than a chuckle. :lol: :lol: :lol:

A video of "So Long Marianne" just uploaded to YouTube by "betho56" - at 0:37 - an outright "ha ha ha"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUiilXJiNyM

Is this from 1988?

I think it is from 1988 just by looking at Perla's and Julie's hair. In 1993 Perla's hair wasn't so wild and Julie's hair was shorter.
