[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1496840535' post='3314215'] "Over the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") is a ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg. [/quote] I was just jesting, hence the "I will Survive" (often referred to as "Go on now go") is a Disco Tune, written by Freddie and....whoever....

It's called 'Over The Rainbow'. This tune is fast becoming the new "Oi Luv, Do you know....Go On Now.....Go..?"

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1496758588' post='3313678'] I've yet to hear anyone top Streisand's interpretation. [/quote] Yes, excellent. But then again, she is absolute class.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1496750198' post='3313588'] [/quote] I must admit that I was slightly mythed. Just hope Ambient doesn't write anything around a noisy Cannon, because volume would be needed. But if he does, there is a man who could help.... [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]"On the full score, I always place my cannon between the first violins and the bass drum.

Stevie Wonder was using/playing an 'Harpejji'. http://www.marcodi.com I should think there is a Video of Stevie on YouTube somewhere from last night. This guy really has it nailed. It's like playing a Keyboard with vibrato... http://youtu.be/pv0q6oBmZxo

I like it very much, although for me it is more of an underscore, but that doesn't distract from being well written. One thing, it is very quite, but from previous posts (IIRC if was you, or maybe I am wrong?) you like to keep it on the quite side? But that is for another thread. Good stuff.

I thought the house band were excellent. Some highs and some lows and a few with tuning issues. But that is usual with these type of concerts that are thrown together at the last moment. Some manage it really well, some struggle a bit. (Imogen Heap really struggled for me). Hats off to all involved for a pretty smooth running show.

[quote name='ROConnell' timestamp='1496232568' post='3309729'] Anyone know if it's sampled or original? [/quote] Reminds me of those 80's Bass lines from the band 'Imagination'. Fretless doubling Bass Synth. http://youtu.be/d7Kl7gm3O5U http://youtu.be/CQQ2-D0eu_g

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1496480271' post='3311731'] Hi Garry, i might of known you would have this here is a nice treat for you... enjoy [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WbOQcSokAY"]https://www.youtube....h?v=8WbOQcSokAY[/url] [/quote] Hiya mate... Well, not seen that and yes, excellent stuff. I also just seen this from the same concert, a couple of Donald Fagen tunes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH4x6ijy4fQ

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1496477514' post='3311702'] Timothee [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSk_dkjy3oM"]http://www.youtube....h?v=nSk_dkjy3oM[/url] [/quote] I have this album...Really, really nice. Yes, Bireli Lagrene playing (brilliant) Bass and a great solo on 'Timothee'. Although, Jeff Andrews is pretty impressive on the rest of the album. Thanks for posting, I ain't heard it in ages.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1496427852' post='3311411'] Wow, that's some cracking voices they've got. [/quote] Yes, great vocals all round. Sean Kingsley is top draw. Just watched the OP video again, it's so well done.

Why did you tell him ? Did the rest of the band have stick on ears as well ? Just curious really.

It happens to the best of them. This must be one of the coolest recoveries ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmlYz7db-gE

I did post this 2/3 years back. But always good for a repost. A couple of friends of mine had a nice little side project. Sadly the Bassist, Steve McManus (RIP) is no longer with us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1hXegr69mQ&list=WL&index=157

i7's are so yesterday. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/hardware/213096-intel-unveils-core-i9-cpu-the-most-extreme-desktop-processor-ever.html

Also, 7200 drives work just fine for streaming (internal & external) sample libraries like Kontakt etc with the big Orchestral libraries. In fact SSD would have to drop in price still more before folks are going to dump their drives. Three or four TB worth of Sample patches could end up rather expensive. Networking extra PC's or Macs or indeed combinations of both are quite popular at the moment, using VEPro 6. This takes all the processor load of the DAW, everything is hosted outside of the DAW. It all depends how you are going to be working. Certainly SSD for your system drive for programmes. Although RAM and CPU are just as important. But, there is certainly still life in HDD's for a while, regarding DAW work.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1496253838' post='3309999'] I'm watching this now in iPlayer. [/quote] I watched it on iPlayer as well and in my opinion, you just about summed it up.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1496269530' post='3310175'] So you guys are saying this bass line is not played starting on an open E? And you've all been listening to the original recording? [/quote] Over the years I haven't really played it that much, so never really given it detailed attention, just busked it. But after just listening to the original, I make you right about the octave (low E). I have also just seen this.The Bassist is clearly using the open E, plus it looks like Ray Manzarek is on the gig. I am sure he would have told the Bassist he should take it up the Octave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNiNB1z2EKA

^^^^ Indeed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0864cc2

[quote name='The Jaywalker' timestamp='1496132596' post='3308923'] Chuck Sher's The Improvisor's Bass Method is a fantastic resource for necessary theory for bassists. It has sections including rhythm, chord tones, scales, bassline construction and styles, soloing etc etc. In addition, the book has a great introduction to basic Harmony which outlines common chord progressions and how they work. It's also a great book to use to learn to read notation or brush up on it - but also contains fretboard diagrams. [/quote] I would like to second this, excellent stuff.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1496239990' post='3309829'] Further comments from me are likely to be harmful to my health! [/quote] Twelve semitones. Somewhere over the Rainbow. Sorry if I caused offence, wasn't intended.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1496173754' post='3309373'] Our ex-singer often used to ask us to go up half a semitone. I actually bought a fretless just to piss her off! [/quote] That was not very nice from her. I mean, was she capable of taking it up the Octave ?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1496233460' post='3309745'] Am I allowed to pedantically suggest that it should be 'cue', as in 'that's when to come in', rather than 'queue', where one waits in line to get served..? Just sayin', no malice intended. [/quote] Haha..... Segue, Cue, you are always 'on it', Dad !! I once heard a 'Newbie' MC at a function, ask the bandleader to play a 'Funfair' before the Bride and Groom entered the room. Have you ever thought of putting together a series of videos regarding this, as a sticky, maybe ? Maybe like this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYQWjgnKbFA

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1496206712' post='3309497'] I heard that they'd gone out on tour without a keyboard player and all the keys were on a sequencer. I don't know if there was a power failure or what, but somehow the sequencer reset itself to the wrong sample rate (i.e. 'in the cracks' tuningwise). Being as the entire intro is on keys and they were less than a semitone out of tune, no one noticed until the band kicked in, by which time it was too late. You could hardly stop the song and start again on what was probably the last encore. I can only presume that Dave Lee Roth had mostly keys in his in-ears as he seems relatively unphased. Poor old EVH's deperate efforts during the solo make my teeth itch. I feel sorry for the bloke, although I'm sure that after the gig they had a few beers and a laugh over it.......... perhaps after sacking the sequencer tech? �� [/quote] I think it's just a case of the Guitar being out of tune (for what ever reason). It's not in concert pitch. The Keyboards are in tune at C# (for some reason a semi tone up from the studio recording). The giveaway for me, is the Bass is pumping out C# Quavers along with the Keys. So C# must have been the key decided before hand. But knows or cares...? It's a very, very funny clip.
