That was awesome !
Jim
Thanks, we also did All along the watchtower, but my microphone was recorded too high which causes distortion on the vocals:

Piano Man by Billy Joel
Hi Richard
Ben our bass player records every gig and rehearsal with a zoom recorder/camera . Basicaly tosee where weve messed up LOL This was only the second full gig since October 25 ,due to my health issues we have another 7 booked so far plus a couple of solo ones each . .Its hard to book regular gigs at the moment as Jim our drummer is touring with Gaelforce a very successful uk folk rock band for most of the year and is allready booked into 27 . So we have to work around him .
Wow, that's going to be a lot of recordings to go through!!!
Cheers
Richard

A damp day but fun all the same . For best experience please turn everything upto max or wear head phones and then turn every thing to max
Left a comment on YouTube .. are you getting the audio from the phone too? it's quite good quality ..
Cheers

Richard, good to see the difference in both your versions of Captain Kennedy, it's a neat song to perform isn't it.
Looking for a Hero song, well done to you all. It would have been fun getting the band back together for you all, going down memory lane. Great you had another song writer in the band as well.
Thanks - we got together one more time after this, as we had a female vocalist for some of the time, but the guy who did our sound and video couldn't make that one ... I got some audio, but the video was on a tripod and didn't get all of us ... anyway, yes, he wrote a few other tracks and helped write my song "Gypsy Fair" ...
Can you post the lyrics ? there were a couple of lines that were hard to discern.
Sure:

Also an original we did Looking for a Hero, Greg (the guy in the blue shirt) wrote this one .. and we were a bit out of practice ...

Wild Thing by the Troggs ...
Here is an old version of Captain Kennedy that's pretty rough:

Slightly different to your version @jandle ... mine was 8 years ago!!

We're still in March for anyone wanting to enter a song ... ?

Nice!

Some suggestions ....
Captain Kennedy - Neil Young
I did that one live at the music club a couple of years ago - I forgot (or broke?) my tripod and the phone is on the floor doing video ... I remember being relieved that no-one had accidentally kicked it while recording ...

Really good Richard, all round. Great performance. Did you have a portable power pack for the microphone? And how did you manage to have a moving video whilst you were performing? I liked the wooded surroundings too.
Thanks .. yes, I've bought a variable converter adapter for my tool batteries (Ozito) which powers the desk (18v battery -> 12v input), and that does all the audio, the video is set a fair distance back and I crop it in iMovie and apply a Ken Burns effect to do the heavy lifting between two iPhones on tripods. The set-up / take-down timing varies, but it's about 15-20 minutes each end - when I did the session at Perry's Paddock it took about an hour and a half to arrive, set up, record multiple versions of three songs, and take down again ... I was timing it as I had to get my washing on the line and it's about a 20 min drive from our place.
Cheers
Richard
Sounds great Richard
Thank you!!

Well, this song I recorded has a "good times" vibe about it; this was one of the songs i wrote in 2024 for my album, but performed live:

Anyway, Richard thoroughly enjoyed your entry. I hadn't heard that one before (showing my ignorance once again on musicians). I will actually go listen to the original of this to compare but without having heard the original and just from listening to your version of it, you did a great job. I liked your performance all round and think you did a great job.
Thanks, and welcome back!!
Cheers
Richard
Looking for SUGGESTIONS in MARCH for SONGS about Marching, Military, and anything realted
Once again SUGGESTIONS can be for a COVER or you can write an ORIGINAL.
You know the drill by now.
READY, SET, GO!!!
There was only one suggestion for a song relating to the theme of Surfing, Skiing and Good Times ... so anything along those lines is acceptable. Write a song, do a cover, what ever yo feel like.
OK, let's see what you all come up with.
READY, SET, GO!!!
I would (arguably) say that the vocals are the most important instrument of the group; if the songs you are performing are more comfortable in another key, then I'd be talking with the other members and suggest moving key ... as long as you don't need to retrain the drummer!!
Cheers
Richard
Here a recording of a song I wrote a while ago Called Ghost Town ( Used to be Ghost Town Heart)
Nice tune, but that doesn't sound like your voice??
Cheers
Richard
I did a version of "Red Pony" by the Triffids, which was a song from their first album "Treeless Plain":

That was pretty good, is that a Sunos song?
Cheers
Richard
Sidewalk Surfing ... I think it was Jan and Dean that did that song
