The Outpost Cafe / Re: You can’t hiii-iiide your lyin’ tracks …

Now I don't "hate the f***ing Eagles", but the guy (he's called Fil) in the vid builds an elaborate and compelling case that Henley's voice is canned (and if it wasn't, I doubt the vid would still be up without the mighty Eagles swooping down). I don't discount the possibility that Henley only uses it on some nights when he feels his voice isn't up to it and, yes, the Eagles have never been shy to doctor their Live albums in the studio for release, especially the vocals.

I like the way Fil avoids to scandalize the whole thing, it's almost like he regrets having found out, he's not an Eagles or Don Henley hater at all.

For better or worse, it's David Gilmour, what do you expect, it's like waiting for Mark Knopfler to do something different. :mrgreen: Not a bad track and some Ezrin'esque habits stick - like adding a kiddie choir (Alice Cooper, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd ...).

Seeing Gilmour explore the limits of the pentatonic blues scale on a Les Paul sure looks weird, but the man can play what he wants.

His many fans will no doubt be pleased and I wasn't prompted to cut the song short either. There are a few bum notes in the solo, he left those, I like that.

Yow. Three long sets in one night is a lot. Is that what the cover band scene expects?  I can't imagine doing that for decades!

Ouch. The quest for perfection and how it leads men astray …

Three hours with no breaks?


 Three one hour sets, usually 20 minute breaks

Three hours was always a long gig, and it gets more so as we age.

Regardless, long may the Thunderqueen play!!

New David Gilmour.  I don't love the song, but it's comforting to know Gilmour is still making new music.  Good solo at the end.

Three hours is long, true. There is a reason why all these vintage acts are cutting their sets. And if I’m honest, I don’t feel much like watching a band standing for three hours in the audience anymore either.
