Nice harmonies here. Classy swing-era music.  At 0:48 or so it gets going a bit.

/dev/random / Beyond Festival Gorge victims candlelight vigil

« on: June 26, 2023, 09:58:17 PM »

About 60 to 70 people were there, eight speeches or so. Sad stuff. These mourners did not even know these two nurses.

art, music, etc. / Classic hip hop song

Great guitar sustain at 2:10, and reverse high hat audio starting there. Great bass sound too.

At 5:53 starts a short bolero movement, followed by vocals by the actual writer of this song.

Gawd, that opening organ and bass line...

Monstertank and I were discussing good songs to pump you up while gaming. He's into more modern electro, and I think this is a great classic rock entry.

art, music, etc. / John Bonham counting in songs

« on: June 12, 2023, 03:39:25 PM »

John Bonham counting in a great song:

Okay, this next one is top quality.   It is isolated drums, with a bit of audio editing unfortunately, it cuts out before the end of the song.  Most drummers already know what this track is, Fool in the Rain.

I think that it is his wife Pat in the background at the beginning.  This is a monsterous beat, played also by Bernard Purdie (who created it) and Jeff Porcaro.

Okay this is the version I have heard without the silent bits, although there are audio edits the poster admits to. Either one is an amazing sound.

art, music, etc. / Relevant song. Live. Best version.

« on: June 12, 2023, 02:22:40 PM »

Very open hihat for that live feel.

Bonus trivia point: I named this tune in zero notes one time. Just based on the hiss leading into the studio version.  My friend playing it for me almost fainted from my accuracy. :-)

art, music, etc. / Does this sound Familiar, Rush Fans?

« on: June 12, 2023, 11:51:44 AM »

Limbaugh being angry - no, just kidding!

Both parts should sound familiar.  1:12 begins the Rush thing, the section called Monsters from a song from the Hemispheres album.
