most people know "show me love", or sort of, the stonebridge remix that is which is the defacto original. i'd give a history lesson on that one but let's just say that the original versions never saw any light of the day after 1991.
stonebridge's remix is one of the favourite tunes of all-time and i've rarely taken a liking to the other versions (sans than the '93 stonebridge/nick nice version) than it and lord knows there has been countless remixes. nothing really worked with me until i heard a version in laidback luke's 2005 sensation white set.
laidback luke was rocking out with some big tunes and being his usual creative self behind the decks and then halfway into the set. right after he dropped his cutup of bucketheads' "the bomb", he went into this oldschool section where he played small bits of some big tunes and anthems and he started with this awesome version of "show me love".
i'd never heard it before but i had heard tonka's main remix and thought it was respectful but just ok, but here tonka stripped it down to the piano's and the lovely pads he was rocking throughout the main version. it became a "piano-pella" of sorts and quite frankly, one of the best set-starter/enders out there. but also a killer acapella tool in the hands of a good dj.
shame that it isn't available on digital so here is the youtube link
