Of all of Mr. Rodriquez's offerings this is my fave so far. That key change is the coolest thing in the world.

 
Physics news on Phys.org
This is not very good, it is out of her range, her tone is weird in places (probably due to the range) and the guitar solo is awful. Did he not learn vibrato? Could he have not changed to a strat for this?
You need the harmony too and she cuts it short.
However, she is doing Comfortably numb! For her! Why for her? Because she likes good music???
She has not messed with the key, how low does she go!? Sure it affects her tone but she is still doing it. Live.

This is my second MC, the first being Jolene.

 
From one of the best musicals ever this arrangement is played by one of the greatest drummers ever.

It's live too which is....cool.

 
These guys wrote it. The is OGWT and are usually live so I assumed it was.


I like this version too.

I like Miley's rock singing. People forget that rock is supposed to break all the rules. Key is that your parents can't stand it.



It helps that the Cyrus team can afford the best touring musicians.

Very swinging. Combos are a cheap substitute for big bands. Tokyo has really good ones.

Alice Cooper used to play a little of this tune. They had an album entitled Easy Action (a line from West Side Story. One of the characters is named Action and they're telling him to cool it.)

Never heard this tune before. I like the Kiss version. It sounds a lot like Queen.

I recall an interview with a man who was offered the choice of producing Boston's first album or one by Kiss. He saw little room for improvement with Boston so he went for Kiss, where he felt needed.
 
The Philippines' Charice Pempengco. Mariah Carey and Celine Dion both think she's great.



Charice has since had trans surgery, even on her vocal chords.

Argent did "Hold your head up." Rick Wakeman described the organ solo as the best he had ever heard.
Rod Argent was previously with the Zombies, "She's not there" a great track.

Charice can obviously sing but I simply detest this style. The song is already amazing, the tune immense and the words beautiful.
Eric Carmen used that little part from Rachmaninoff to link to the chorus, brilliant.
Maria Carey destroyed "I'll be there," and I hated Celine Dion version of this too.
I just cannot take all the extra ornaments, imagine them singing yesterday? 12 extra notes per bar? Not for me. It would be like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. It is already dood enough.
 
Well whaddya know. Sisters, they've been making music together their whole lives. It shows.

Love that harmony but the steel solo is way subpar. Give Megan another chance with her best Dickie Betts.

WHY, are they replicating that version? Lori? Roberta?
 
This is great. The drummer looks awkward but has a good sound. Overall sound is just awesome and look at them?
Time machine? 1966 I think, catch the Beatles, Hendrix, The Who, Yes and work my way through to 1972 when Gillan left Purple. Time to come home then.

 


This has dozens of hit songs I didn't know were covers. How did he figure all this out?

Senri Kawaguchi plays Herbie Hancock's Actual Proof (which was based on Tower of Power's Oakland Stroke) live in Montreal. I'd like to know more about that keyboard player.

23.24 she drops a stick with her left switches right to left then picks up with her right out of her spares. Close your eyes you cannot tell.

Not keen on country slide. I like Pink Floyd slide, just not country.

Special girl there. Saw some of her arrangements a few years ago. Brilliant.
 
Yep she is great reminds of Walter.
