I was wondering about the Popes' instrumental as well. On "Montreux Live DVD 1995" it is called "Bring down the lamp", on "Across the Broad Atlantic 2001" it is called "Popes' Instrumental - blablablabla" (don't know the exact names they used there).

The first one is definitely "Battle of Brisbane", the second one I don't know, the last one sounds a lot like "Squid out of Water" (Hell's Ditch) to me? But I'm not sure about the last one!

Have you tried googling for Popes Instrumental - you get nothing but returns from lyric sites :shock:
However, according to my cd the tracks are; Popes Instrumental - My Ballyvourney Love/ The Limpin General / Bag Of Chips.
I wish I'd done biology for an urge within me wanted to do it then
