And I have never seen a more talented set of siblings, individually and collectively, than the Villarreal sisters. But you’re right, the butterfly tee is the cherry on top!
No worries Rick, as a 3 piece the Sisters use backing tracks to fill in now and then, rest assured that any tracks used were done by them, and recorded when needed. There are no tracks used that they themselves have not created...pure talent. And BTW, thanks so much for taking our suggestions to do this entire Dakota Bar concert...worth every minute of it. Cheers. Rock on The Warning, TW/DPA....AND WE ABSOLUTELY ENJOY THIS!!!
The piano is a backing track, they can't play 4 instruments together, so they need the add-on at different parts of the song to fill it out. You know they all 3 play the piano, so it's one of them doing the track.
Ale had been working on her stage performances, and had a "pounce" she no longer does. I miss it. It was cute. Ale, on the piano, started the song with Pau. They use backing tracks to enhance the song. Since Ale started the song, it was appropriate for her to finish it. TW starts more songs with Ale's bass than any other band I have ever heard.
yep pau handles all the backing tracks, backdrop images, some of Dany's pedals, metronomes etc, i swear she has 3 brains in there somewhere, Ale keeps everyone in check pretty much with the eye glances back and forth, you'll see the girls making funny faces at each other if someone messes up sorta like they are still playing for points like the rock band video game they mastered as kids, its really all about being fun for them and having a ball. they do play their main parts tho and use the tracks for sound effects, piano, maybe a guitar track here and there, Glad to see you came back to the Dakota bar, this is gonna be awesome, some serious talent came out of this event and if it was up to me i woulda froze the warning in time and collected about 5 more albums from this age but thats jus me being greedy. thanks for sharing!!
I don't think the piano backing track is needed, but I guess they like to keep it to make the song sound more like the studio version. Classical piano is the instrument they all learned first, so you can be sure the backing track was recorded by one of them. Other songs with backing tracks in live performances include: Alessia Cara's "ohohoh" in the Enter Sandman chorus; a keyboard riff in Queen Of The Murder Scene; the spoken part in Dust To Dust; and in Hell You Call A Dream they have the keyboard in the very beginning and the "ohohoh" in the chorus. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the piano outro in Apologize when they start playing it live.
It's 2 guitar tracks overlaid then 1 guitar and 1 keys, then back to 2 guitars, and ending with again 1 extra guitar and 1 extra keys. They use a lot of tracks they record themselves to fill out the sound. This song is like the absolute best example of how they use recordings of themselves to fill out the sound without making the tracks too important. On the other hand this whole ending riff wouldn't be nearly as good without the 2 extra guitars. Notice how they cut in the layers after starting the riff live, then cut them out before the song ends. It's very well done to support the live performance rather than becoming too structural to the song as a whole. To do this they use a click track, which they all hear in their earpiece. The layers are timed and so this keeps the songs on quite a strict schedule, but Pau can cut out all the software from the laptop by the drums, or restart it if they get interrupted, etc.. Done well it's quite natural to not really notice it, and they've always been fantastic at this. Their dad being an audio engineer probably gave them a big jumpstart on how to use tracks well.
