Quote HistoryJethro Tull had some amazing recording engineers working for them because lots of their old music has the spacial "magic" that opens a full sound stage in front of you. I was very pleased to re-discover lots of my old favorite Tull songs were recorded incredibly well.

I saw the Moody Blues in the late 80's with my Dad at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA (I was attending Lehigh.) Very good show. My Dad referred to one of the band members as the Ancient Cosmic Rocker. Never heard a better description.

We've actually covered "Reeling In the Years", but our lead player doesn't want to put in the woodshed time to relearn it for our June show coming up.
If I had my way we'd add "Don't Fear The Reaper". I'd like to sing that low harmony part which really helps MAKE that tune. but without that spacy break in the middle  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kac: OP, do you guys use a mellotron? Good luck! I read the horror stories of Genesis traveling with a pair of them. The second one was sent ahead to the next concert location so that it would be ready when the band arrived. Tony Banks is a wizard that doesn't get the credit he deserves. One of the best parts of living near Los Angeles is the music scene. I followed a couple of bands and one of the keyboard players' day job was buying old keyboards and restoring them for other tribute bands. I asked him about Mellotrons and he said he's worked on a couple but never flipped one so they're still out there somewhere. As I understand the concept the Mellotron is 88 pieces of tape that slide past playback heads as the keyboard is operated so there's just a whole bunch of moving parts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FrogWater: Wonderful song from my all-time favorite band. I'd love to hear your cover of it, OP. Thanks I talked the band into adding it a couple of years ago, but we don't do it at the original speed. We're too old to get coked up. But it IS brisk and quite the challenge to play cleanly. One of the happiest moments at our gigs is when our lead player kicks off that intro. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up cause we ge'in ready to ROCK. |
