CHORUS DVDs

Plus, you have to cut him some slack. I mean, Mark's dry chit chat doesn't exactly provide the best groove ... "So eh ... You wanna play some, Marcus?" Hehe.

Think this one is better. Here he doesn't have to start from scratch:

I probably did erase it from my memory as I really do not go well with the bass solo

Hehe. Of course the recording is rubbish, so you don't get the full impact of the deep notes. He's a fine player, Marcus, but I agree with you that the solo doesn't really "do it". It's like it's not going anywhere, if you know what I mean. It's like a long story wihtout a point. Having said that, I think there's another Calling Elvis clip with the NHB where he plays a better.

I must specify that I wasn't talkin about the sound on the video but being actualy part of the audience and each time I was in the room (6 times) this has been boring experience for my ears. Wonderful Glenn was a good soloist on that one in 1996 and 2001 and John had the humility to play only his part and not going solo, avoiding us such self indulgent sort of thing.

Thanks for these clips, folks. Have seen them for the first time, actually! Mark's singing is so much better these days.

On a sidenote: at 6:10, when he says "gonna play Bo Diddley now", this is what he refers to:

 

 

(For those interested, the beat follows the pattern of a 3-2 son clave  )

Showy dress!

I never liked the international singles from OES. Calling Elvis was repetitious, the Bug was country with a twist (I like my country straight!), and Heavy fuel was just interesting. Too bad that the regional singles, You and your friend, Ticket to heaven and On every street were not available to a wider audience. They would have loved them and boost the album as well. Imagine my surprise when i found out that i couldn't fit it in a 60 min. tape. (the good old cassette days). The LP version was so dense (LP usually contains around 45 minutes for great results) that the sound was dis hearting. The remastered CD version was a revelation for me. And by the way, have you ever heard of the mono versions of various DS songs? I found Skateaway in mono a real kicker!
