What kind of music are you listening to right now?

He bends like Django, love it.

Yup. Buddy's cool for sure.

Easily-identifiable style too.

here is what I listen to when I need an ear recalibration.

Mix is so perfect as every single instrument is cristal clear.

And this looks like a real live take : when closely looking at every breath from the falsettos , it seems in perfect sync.

I guess this is what you get with a full pro orchestra , world class musicians and a full team of engineers.

Pretty amazing prod from the past , who does this nowadays ?

Sounds almost too good for a "live" recording

That big Neumann (?) would pick up a lot of other

instruments like horns and drums in the room ......

I would think it´s a playback video

Never the less , it reminds me of these guys.

Not as good, but funny

Cheers !

Eddie van Halen ........ R.I.P.

I know for a minute ... a tragedy. These are common words, but we have lost a legend. Without he, there would be NO modern guitar playing today. At least it wouldn't be THIS. Rest In Peace, Eddie.

Shit...

RIP Eddie. Jamie's Cryin'.

Goosebumps all the way, bro'. One of my fave songs from my youth.

I take great encouragement from the fact that they wrote the lyrics other than the main chorus hook, "Tragedy", after recording the song. In most cases lyrics are an afterthought for me too; the focus and inspiration are the music itself 99% of the time. That's an accurate figure, BTW - 3 out of 300 = 1%.

All that remains is to somehow write classic songs like Barry and his brothers did. Unlikely.

One of my fave songs from my youth.

Same here mate. I still have a small box with a handful of the old "mix tapes" from my youth. Useless stuff nowadays but kinda sentimental artefacts I kept for whatever reason. On virtually all of them this song is present. Always somewhere in the middle of the mix... the anchor in the mix

And you can hear how good they sang. They didn't any auto-tune or melodyne to correct anything.

Correct weight, brother.

They pretty much nail the lead vox and harmonies live every time. Such a pleasure to listen to.

Saw them live in Seattle just after this album was released. I remember many of the security guys had Disco Sucks t-shirts on. I'm a classic rock guy but always loved the Bee Gees, all the way back to their early stuff. Didn't understand the disco backlash they faced. Great talents. Thanks for sharing that.

Disco dismantled live performances for Rock Bands for almost 10 years in the U.S.

All the clubs hired DJ's and stopped booking live Music. Blues and Jazz joints paid very little.

Country & Western bars thrived and paid well so many of us went for it.

Disco did suck and heavy drinking was the order of the day.

Maybe so Muddy. I was referring to the Bee Gees specifically who predate disco by a decade and should not be lumped in with the rest of the prefab juice. Also, The Seattle live scene didn't take that much of a hit from Disco. Lots of great venues thrived and great bands.

"I remember many of the security guys had Disco Sucks t-shirts on."

I never said anything about the Bee Gee's. You did the lumping.

Many of us had few venues to work in including the security.

I heard the band with David for the first time, but "my era" was the Hagar-era, so now I'm bringing this song to remember Eddie.

Apologies. You're correct.
