Song in Airport in "Almost Famous"
Does anybody the name of the song playing during the sequence where William is running along the window in the airport, keeping up with the Airplane? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I don't have the movie with me, but if I'm thinking of the right music, it is a piano solo... right? If that's the right song, then I think it is a variation of Elton John's Tiny Dancer.
I am not quite sure. But I think that's what it is.

Although the piano version of Tiny Dancer is in the movie and is great, the scene with William running after the airplane doesn't use it. The piece that accompanies that scene is an original composition by Nancy Wilson. (And it unfortunately isn't on the soundtrack.)

Ahhhh....it took me a while, but I believe I know what tune you are talking about.
Cortez the Killer by Neil Young
Check and see if that's the right tune....if not, let me know, and I'll find it.

Edit to say that if you like Cortez the Killer look around for Dave Matthews Band's cover of it, which they did with Neil Young as a special guest. It's great!

Gimmie a break. I'm sorry but this is Neil Young we are talking about. His songs are often covered but never done with the same passion and soul that Young does with them.

Pearl Jam's version of Rocking in the Free World is far superior to Neil's.

Also for what it's worth, and in case anyone cares, I like Neil Young's version of "Cortez" better than Built to Spill's. But, Built to Spill's is better than Dave Matthews' (even though Neil guested on that one).

Ryoko- It is indeed Nancy Wilson. The name of that song is Lucky Trumble and it shouldn't be too hard to find and download. I also recommend her song Elevator Beat. This is the song playing in Vanilla Sky as Cruise and "Tech Support" ride up the elevator.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies and I know it quite well.
