For whatever reason, I need two things in my music: swing and blues. Not a lot of either, necessarily, but some. <br /><br />I still hear blues in Bruce's music, but not an ounce of swing since "Born..." And it makes me crazy.<br /><br />As for the playlist, great to see Tommy A.'s shining moment there. I added "That's Neat That's Nice" to my band's setlist a few months ago. My regular drummer does the drum break his way, and that's fine, I don't tell my guys what to play - that's why you hire great musicians, right?<br /><br />But I had a fill-in for a festival gig a couple of weeks ago, and he learned every song to-the-T. And so, when it came to that part in "That's Neat..." - he played it EXACTLY like the live version. I could have plotzed. I almost forgot to come back in for that last verse. I wish every Q fan could experience that at least once, it was a golden moment.<br /><br />Thanks as always Sal.

One quick re...Hello all, no, please remain seated.<br /><br />One quick response, or observation, really. In small combo jazz sometimes it falls to the bass player to be the main time-keeper, but in popular music it's obviously the drummer's job. So an even tempo should be the sine qua non of a drummer, right? <br /><br />But I gotta tell you...one of my favorite tracks on the Stones Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is Stray Cat Blues. And that song starts out mid-tempo but accelerates throughout the song. Is Keith following Charlie, or vice versa? No clue, myself...but I've always loved the acceleration in that song.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />RichDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-84996535089965912192012-09-21T06:48:13.994-07:002012-09-21T06:48:13.994-07:00Here's the Medley by Fairport Convention from ...Here's the Medley by Fairport Convention from "Liege And Lief".<br />It features one of my favorite drummers, Dave Mattacks. He's one of Richard Thompson's favorites too.<br />This would be kind of boring without Dave driving it. When I listen to it I kind of tune everything else out and concentrate on the drums. <br />It's a great performance.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/fairport_medley.mp3" title="Fairport Medley" rel="nofollow">http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/fairport_medley.mp3</a>buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-66245981722353758502012-09-21T06:43:11.481-07:002012-09-21T06:43:11.481-07:00Perfect way to spend the weekend.

One of the things he mentioned was that Bruce tightly constrains the beats - he would allow boom-bah-boom-boom-bah and boom-bah-boom-bah-bah but little beyond that. The lack of swing in his post-Born To Run records always bothered me, mostly because I missed the manic energy of TWTI&TESS. But I agree, Sal, it's more than that. Max never seems to be in the pocket - mechanical, unimaginative fills, and often drags the songs down.Jeff Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733473221652080431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-60620613897022396602012-09-21T05:59:20.244-07:002012-09-21T05:59:20.244-07:00It was just this week that I realized that somehow...It was just this week that I realized that somehow mix 1 got lost among the interwebs for me.

In addition they are not schooled in the history of the kit.<br />As regards yesterdays post I thought it was interesting and thought provoking and like all great historians you are able to revise and reedit, so Max is not a pretty terrible drummer just maybe not as great or as perfect as many think.<br />Thanks again for making my brain work.soundsourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513218897301902518noreply@blogger.com
