Never made it to the Argentinian restaurant Time was against us and it was just a little too far away to be sure to get to the gig in time. We are going to go there later in the year, there is a hotel right opposite so we can have a good time and not think about driving
The gig was AWESOME. Line up was Tax The Heat, Reef and Thunder. This song had me in tears, it was sung with such passion, I had tears streaming down my face. I don't think that kindness is a weakness I don't have a problem with compassion Tell me what you're thinking? Would you like to be so high? Could you give consideration to something that you did not realize? Yeah Would you close your ears to the things you did not believe? Tell me would you be strong? Would you be the one to carry on? Tell me would you be strong? Would you be one to carry on I don't think that kindness is a weakness I don't have a problem with compassion Would you close your ears to the things you did not believe? Tell me would you be strong? Would you be the one to carry on? Tell me would you be strong? Would you be one to carry on Half don't come here, half don't come here Half don't come here, so I do It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright Thunder also had me in tears with this song, I didn't realise until last night what it is about. One of the guitarists, Ben Mathews has been going through cancer treatment. They introduced him, just before this song as "our resident cancer patient", then sung this song below. After it had finished they said "Put your hands together for the man who beat cancer". The crowd went wild. The song is about his difficult time through it all and how the band felt, the title is how it felt when he said he was in the clear. I hope it gave anyone in the audience going the the same, the strength to fight. Resurrection Day Live acoustic version, watch how the singer looks at Ben every now and then, Ben is the one nearest the camera. Lyrics below. Album version I was just living on On the day they dropped the bomb I was numb with a hard road in front of me In the eye of the storm So many long days I won’t mourn But I wept with joy when the black clouds disappeared From a long, lonely night I’m back into the light And it feels just like it’s resurrection day Battle lines been drawn You’re in the dark before the dawn And you’re wondering why luck’s such a random thing Every plan from before In dust upon the floor And it’s tough has hell when you’re lower than a submarine But you live through the fight And you touch the other side And it feels just like resurrection day It feels just like resurrection day Somehow you break the barricades While the fires are burning Sometimes you fall on your knees and pray From a cold, lonely night I’m back into the light It feels just like resurrection day Yes it feels just like resurrection day I’ve been waiting so long for resurrection day. Here is tonight's Rock Pop solo. I tried a new pick, there is a lot of work to do on it but it is better. I know there is a wrong note a 0:42 but couldn't re-record, ran out of time. I think the ending is a little better. One area where I am struggling is on the high E bends, I find they don't sustain for very long, is this me, the guitar, or something else? They just seem to fade really quick and I end up re-picking them, that's how I made the wrong note at 0:42. I also noticed, when I played this back, that the guitar sounded a little flat, I checked it on the tuner and it is a little flat. I usually tune up first but was short on time and forgot. Why don't I notice it is flat when I'm playing instead of when I'm listening back. At least I noticed which, I suppose is a step in the right direction eh? https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/rock-pop-solo-14032015 Cheers Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Mar 14 2015, 10:23 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
