Ya'll, I can't tell you how much it means to hear so many people trying to pin down what Performers Ray sounds the most like. And, every suggestion is top tier Performers, a couple get extra points for creativity. But, as much as you might hear a little of this one, or a little of that one, there's just no accurate way to truly pin down Ray in any one genre or sound. He IS his own genre, and his body of work will back up this claim. No one writes lyrics, plays chords, and intonates sounds exactly like Ray. And, on top of all that he is a very humble, gentle soul, and an amazing human being. I just feel extremely blessed to have stumbled across his beautiful work so I can share it with others. I don't think I feel more at home than a place where there's so many people who appreciate's Ray. Blessing's ya'll!🕊️
All the Wild Horses could not be a more timeless and timely song that our Wild Horses need in the US right now. When you see them loaded in kill pens, then trailers to some horror awaiting them, and listen to Ray sing this?!?! If it doesn't make you want to get involved you just aren't breathing... There's something about the thing that breaks your heart, shatters it, w/the sweetest ode to them playing...hard to find the right words. Ray was singing about them long before their situation has become so critical w/then teeter on the verge of extinction. And, after all that Equines have done to serve humans... It's just so wrong. I'll probably never know if Ray was aware of what was happening to them when he wrote this song. But at least in my life it's an anthem for all they've done selflessly only to be forgotten, neglected, abused. And ya'll, that's ALL before I could even begin to express my feelings about Ray's amazing depth, magical, beautiful song writing. And, God might have given him that voice, but it was Ray who chiseled it into this one of a kind tool that he uses to universally reach right into our chest and transport us to some we're not. Some, we all need to be transported for just a little while. I love a lot of Musician's, their work, and many can reach me. But no one, no one, lifts you out, up, and away as well as Ray. The 1st time I heard him sing 1 stanza, I was hooked, more than any negative addiction. He's a Musician's Musician, a Master at his Craft. And yet also, such a humble, gentle soul, and good human.
hab die Band zweimal gesehen, erstes Mal vor´m Reichstag, zweites Mal hier auf dem Maifeld - UNVERGESSLICH! - auch Berlin zu dieser Zeit - lange ist´s her .....
This is how it should be. No big stupid screens, if you can't see the band too bad, use your imagination or force your way up front. Concerts today (2023) are like pro wrestling meets a QVC commercial. Stupid.
Can't agree with that. Went to see Peter Gabriel last year, and his show blended lights and screens perfectly. Each song a work of art. The last Genesis tour even more so. They had bigger screens than ever, but also more lights than ever by a long way. Some bands are better at it than others. If they have a crap stage show now, they probably would have been equally crap in the 70s, 80s or 90s.
Ну попробуйте проиграть программу из 15песен..несколько раз.......переезд..перелет....акклиматизация......судебная тяжба с Уотерсом .......веселья немного....РАБОТА .....
. . . found myself face down in a ditch, mud in my hair, blood on my lips, a picture of you holding a picture of me in the pocket of my blue jeans . . .
Tim Renwick, what a guitarist! I have always loved the different versions of improvised solos on Learning to Fly. Really a joy to listen to him. Obviously Pink Floyd's greatness is a universal truth
I like the selection of hits he chose for set one, but the manner in which he sings them seems uninspired, almost as though he’s tired of performing. 🤷🏽♂️
I understand why it might come across that way to some. But, I see and hear a musician who is also a human. His wife's genetic disorder's negative symptoms started showing up somewhere around this time. I see both Professional Musician, Human Being, Husband, Father caught in an internal storm. Just a theory, but I imagine during his tours post her health's decline, he was/has been perhaps quite torn knowing he needed/needs to be both places often but physically can't. Since this concert was recorded, I believe their family have quietly fallen into a rhythm of dealing w/his touring. Honestly though, if I didn't feel some sense of his longing to be at home w/her, I might not think him as authentic as he's shown himself to be. Also, I can't think of many musicians who don't have shows back to back that don't exactly give them time to prepare for the next show. I miss when ticket prices were more reasonable so that audience's might be able to better understand and appreciate the human being behind the Professional. I would also argue that there are some songs in this concert where he was very expressive. I'm not sure how to address the guitar not telling his story. The fact that his wife is sick at home and he can't be there w/her is literally evident if you think he's playing isn't as pristine as was recorded. Like any other Performer who is also a real person, there will be occasional shows that are more difficult than others and reflect it. But, like ALL Professionals, he shows up, and for that night he gives you what he has in him to give. And then, by tour manager's scheduling, if you can catch any performer on a rested good night, you're going to get a better show. That's just the honest truth In regard to live performances by any performer, even the best of them. The Professionals show up, walk on stage, and in that moment in their lives, they do their best to give the audience a good show. Some may come across w/more perfection, if there is such in a live show. And some, might reflect a human being doing their best in that moment because they aren't a robot. Perfection was recorded in the studio. You don't have to attend a show if you're looking for robotic perfection. I only speak for myself, but I attend live concerts for the experience, to see one of my favorite artists, and show them support and my appreciation for ALL of their work, not just what they played during the last hour. But everyone is different and free to have their own ideas, opinions, feelings, and expression them in the US, at least for now. I respect everyone's freedom of expressions. Huzzah & Blessings! 🕊️
Basically Jack Bruce and John Paul Jone is the reason I switched from guitar to bass at 13. Taking guitar lessons at 12 and already playing trumpet and violen I heard Disraeli Gears and Led Zeppelin and I quite every instrument and picked up the bass.
