I think you should remember them based on the live performance you heard because recorded audio depends on a lot of different factors like mics, amps, speakers, then add the acoustic from where it was recorded and your speakers/headphones quality. This video was clearly recorded from a fan with good intentions so it was not intended to be a release from the band, let alone have a Hi-Fi sound 😌
I saw and met these guys 3 months before this video. great guys and wish them the best. but the guitarist looks likes he needs a hit or something. and this live event is a zero. what the hell happened with this awesome band?
I have a question regarding your super strenuous rides. I am considering trying one of those rides out, such as your 65 mile or 75 mile rides, but am unsure if my fitness level would justify it. I have been cycling for years but usually end up riding alone. I do one 100 mile ride per month in which my average speed is usually right at 20 mph. There are plenty of undulations on most of my rides, including my 100 mile rout. I am a type one diabetic and also have a severe scoliosis which makes riding in a tuck position nearly impossible. That probably accounts for my not being able to average much over 20 mph. on rides of any length, that is when I ride alone. I would imagine riding in a pace-line would increase my average speed but can't say for sure. I know drafting allows me to ride on the hoods while easily being able to keep up with the fastest riders I've ridden with so far. I seem to do much better in the hills when it comes to leading a pack, probably because I don't have the disadvantage of not being able to ride in a tuck while climbing. I don't feel my diabetes has any major effect in my riding ability however. My question is this. If I can average 20 mph. alone on rides including major undulations or decent hills, should I be able to keep up on your super strenuous rides? To simulate pace-line riding, I do pace-line training on my trainer. What I do is 5 minutes in upper zone 3 to lower zone 4 with 30 second periods in or above zone 5, or near my max, imagining I am taking the lead of a pace-line. To clarify, my max hr. is 200 bpm., so I ride 5 minutes between 150 bpm. and 170 bpm., then for 30 seconds, I'll push my heart rate up to above 185 bpm. and repeat this for 2 hoer sessions. Since there is little flat ground around where I live, I simulate undulations during the time I would be drafting, thus the wide range in my heart rate. I mention this only to show that I do feel that I can probably stay in a tuck long enough to pull in a pace-line of about 10 riders. If there are more riders in the group, I would think I would have more time to recover between taking turns. Since I almost always ride alone, I don't know how much to reduce my effort to simulate the period of time in which I would be drafting. For that reason, my home engineered pace-line training may be off a bit. That's why I am taking this time to ask this question. Thanks in advance, Eric
