I've Just Been Blown Away By......?

This is an interesting live performance of Strawberry letter 23 from Quincy Jones recent 75th anniversary concert.

It seems to be going well until Paolo Nutini loses his place in the tune.

Great clip - you can see the musicians looking at each other and muttering "f#cking singers..."

Louis Johnson - he's not bad at playing bass:

He's great. My skinny fingers would be knarled trying to do this stuff. With the right bank balance, I would get a decent Bass rig, but I'm a regular guitarist, so that comes first. One day maybe.

Paolo Nutini more like useless t**t , another song ruined by someone with no groove or soul whatsoever

He does it his own way but I don't think he could be accused of having no soul. Actually dig the way he improvs over guitar break making it build more.

[IanCorps]

Have to disagree on that , tuneless and toneless meandering that just detracts from the playing he has no groove whatsoever .

I like him, but he's extremely variable, probably dependent on the amount of alcohol consumed beforehand...

I've seen him perform when he was barely able to stand up - there was a Hogmanay TV show a few years back where he was really out of it too, he actually did fall over at one point I think - he really was very bad, but in an interesting way. I wouldn't want to see him like that all the time though.

Wampler Black 65. After all this time I really did not think I would add another pedal to my board. My tone is already good (Ampmaker PP18 is as stripped-down as it gets and does both AC30 and Marshall depending on the speaker). But I stuck it in the chain and lo! bigger, fatter cleans and rich Fendery OD, with a boost thrown in for good measure. Next stop, Tweed 57 - let me know if you have one for sale.

I love that Danny too ! If I didn't already have a U2 I'd buy one.

She is really good. She deserves a lot more recognition. I checked if she had broke the top 40 in the UK, she hasn't , this I find a sad testimony to the tragic state of the charts and the general sheep populations "taste" in music.
