The Outpost Cafe / Re: You can’t hiii-iiide your lyin’ tracks …
« Last post by Alanko on May 04, 2024, 11:50:34 PM »I watched another video recently of a guy calling out lip synching, and they are all at it! Bon Jovi, Kiss, Roger Waters... worst example is Frankie Valli as he is using old studio tapes but appears to be barely lucid, so he is barely gumming the words while a young and sprightly Frankie comes out the PA.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Sam Ash on the decline

The He 111 was a good-looking plane and also the reliable and robust backbone bomber of the Luftwaffe (all other available German bomber types were more fickle and fidgety), but nothing you could build a strategic bomber force with. As Mark once said, “flying artillery”, that sums it up.
I've seen the preserved He 111 in the RAF museum in Hendon (I'm 99% sure it is a Heinkel rather than a CASA, dressed up as a Luftwaffe aircraft). It is an elegant machine! Tucking the engines next to the fuselage, combined with the wing profile, make it look a bit more advanced than a lot of British designs. The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, for example, definitely looks like it came from a prior era of aviation design despite being of similar age.

just start at 03:07 and listen to a 'live' vocal of Don singing Desperado on the left channel from 2023 and one from another gig in 2024 on the right channel. There is no - zero, keine, zilch, nada, null - difference.
Rob, let's not even talk about the Live album by the Eagles from 1980 about which Glenn Frey once quipped: "It's the only "live" album in rock history where the backing vocals to one and the same live performance were recorded on different coasts weeks apart years later!"
I actually prefer Henley's (real) singing when he is playing drums while doing it - he sits more on the beat with his voice then. But for some reason he got this thing in his head that he had to stand in front with the umpteenth acoustic guitar in the Eagle's line-up - he was always an awkward front man, with none of Frey's Detroit schmooze.
I never listen to the Eagles anyway unless I can't help it, couldn't care less if the King-groveling lame Limey is right or not.

PS: I didn't know you really cared, Rob. About live albums being undoctored. I mean as a Thin Lizzy fan and all ...

Not in Seattle proper, there's no money to make here at any venue, most will give 45-60minutes and no pay before the next band is on stage. Once you leave town there's money to be made and more stage time. The local casinos are usually great places to play, they pay well, 1800.00 and up a night, plus rooms, and food. Most are fairly new with good FOH and support staff as well.
Holy crap. We're playing in the wrong joints.
