Great episode guys
Thanks, Lane!
I have also used sunflower seeds to stay awake while driving. I put a small handful in one cheek and then, one-by-one, de-shell and eat the seeds and move the shells to the other cheek. Keeps me awake!
Makes PERFECT sense. That mental engagement seems like a perfect amount of stimulation to keep one alert and awake.
EPs are the CDs of the cassingle market.
Great episode, GREAT information!!! Wow... Thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the kind words, @stevehando.guitar! You rock!
That’s unintentionally hilarious.
Right?!? :)
Dave you could write and perform a theme 1 million times better...AI is garbage and its gonna kill the jingle musicians... What do I know I hate DJs too. Lol
I dunno... AI is a tool, and can be used quite well...and quite poorly. I think even if jingles are written with the assistance of AI, it'll still require someone with an ear and some talent to make them any good!
Great content Dave...A friend sent me the Vose interview which turned me on to your channel. I'm in a local cover band and I've found alot of value in your content. I will recommend it to others in our world....Thanks Dave!
Amazing! Thanks for the kind words and support, my friend.
I was front row in 1986 at Celebrations for Prowler...Hey Bob remember me...😂
Two words...Tony Maggio !!!
Dance to Country and Eastern Music
Indeed!!
❤
Great episode Dave. I love Robert’s instructor like delivery of information. 🤘🤘
Thanks, Lane! Yeah, he really knows how to teach this stuff. SO great.
I usually listen to you guys on Spotify. I like the TH-cam experience, too! Always be performing!
Sweet! Glad to have you no matter where you want to listen. :)
Man what a great way to start the work week 😂.
We agree! 🤘
Being dominant at a passion is always better than being passionate about dominance
Another great episode Dave. Love hearing about all the technology Adam is using.
Thanks, Lane! And I agree... I love talking with and learning from Adam. He's such a good soul! And a smart dude, to boot!
Hello??
Hello!
What a great episode this was!! Thanks, Dave and Dallas. Longtime fan of the two of you.
Thanks, JF! Yeah, I feel like the universe (and our respective teams!) conspired to make sure we met! ;)
What books ??
Dallas' room sounds amazing!
Agreed! So great.
Gaff tape is also supposed to prevent any sort of damage to the surface it gets applied to. Duct tape will remove the finish off of a wood floor.
I wonder which is better for making a guitar pick? :)
My favorite thing ever is telling a dead head that their studio albums are better than live. Lol 🤣
Haha! I don't necessarily go out of my way to do that, but... it happens more often than I would expect! 🤣
Awesome stuff. Would love for someone to develop a scorecard app lol.
hahaha... that could be dangerous!
Great stuff. Would love to hear more pro level tips for weekend warrior FOH.
Thanks for saying that, Lane! And I agree... I think there's really an opportunity to take some of the stuff that these Pro-level engineers are doing and apply it to our weekend warrior world. And they don't necessarily realize it... but we do, and can pull it out! I'll bring on more like Brad, for sure!
Sounds like the makings of a good country song right there
Right?!? I'll make sure Dave (ahem, Dallas!) knows.
🎶🤟🏽
🤘
just added a version with my video-- th-cam.com/video/hHRXf4wBsck/w-d-xo.html
I don’t understand the desire or requirement for shows to be 125db or more
SAME! 90-105dB at FOH is more than enough.
@@DaveHamilton we were support for a country act last summer and they brought their own engineer and sound level at FOH for the headliners set had to be 130db. It was painful instantly, and we left after the second song. I can’t comprehend why people think the shows need to be that loud. Just miserable.
@@LaneMilesMusic WOW that's crazy. You were smart to leave. Even with 25dB earplugs you'd still be above the danger threshold.
Great stuff. Yes, please have Mike back.
I definitely will!
Amazing content.
Thanks, Lane! There's even more coming!
You guys are literally the first podcast/stream I’ve ever heard recommend Alclair IEM’s. I got my first pair of Tours in 2017-2018ish and I have been screaming from the rooftops since then how awesome this company is!! I was using a pair of 1964 universal fit ears for a long time (and loved them BTW), I ended up opting for the “more affordable” Alclair IEM’s and the quality of sound coming from them is nearly identical to the 1964’s. My customs fit right out of the box, and the audiologist didn’t use a bite block with me 🤫 but he did have me move my jaw around. Alclair is a fantastic company, I always highly reccomend them to all my people.
I've used most custom-fit IEM brands out there, including Ultimate Ears, Sensaphonics, Future Sonics, Westone, JH Audio, and I'm sure at least one more I'm forgetting, and the Alclairs are right up there with them, at a fraction of the price. Even my "buddy deals" at some of these other manufacturers don't come close to beating Alclair's list prices. It's amazing.
When I saw MO at the Rainbow Theatre in London in 1973 the response to their music was the same- Stunned silence, then long applause afterwards.
Thank God for your work with The Mahavishnu Orchestra. It is my origin story and After having lessons with Al Di Meola I had the privilege of taking lessons from rick Laird. I love your work and am grateful for having heard it, especially "Between Nothingness and Eternity. Life altering stuff~!
Cobham's Spectrum one of greatest fusion records.
Keith over-extended himself by playing his grand piano at every gig.
Great interview, Jan is the man! Not only do I love his stuff with Mahavishnu, but I also love his contribution on those Al Di Meola records.
Dude nailed the Miami Vice theme
Before playing the mini-moog with the Mahavishnu Orchestra Jan talked about a garget that he played in conjunction with his Fender Rhodes electric piano. You can see Jan playing the garget in the video, which is uploaded on You tube, of the MO's concert on the campus of Syracuse University. The discussion also talked about the keyboards sounding like a guitar. The track titled; "Going Far" on the Tony Williams album "Fear of Flying" feature Tony and Jan where Jan's synth keyboard sounds like an electric guitar.
JAN now we are talking serious key bending awesomeness crazy stuff one and only Jan H🎹🎹🎹
Jan sounded awesome with Elvin Jones. Jan musical ability is vast.
I have a theory that he secretly wrote all of Jeff beck, John McLaughlin, and Eddie Van Halen’s songs.
Great musician! Love his stuff. Thanks for this.
Emerson using the modular as a thing just for the show? Dear Jan listen to the lucky man solo or the aqua_tarkus live piece both are fantastic displays of moog play! I just had to say it😊
He’ll always be around. Tom Petty is the very best kind of immortal. The comment you made about Tom always being there, every day, every night, every weekend, with a song, and you know, it was always the right song for the moment, too, wasn’t it? I think our kids will remember him as they age and grow a little nostalgic for their childhoods, because he was The Soundtrack. I didn’t figure it out until after he passed, when I, like you, felt gut-punched. For a second there, piled on with all the other crap I was dealing with personally, for a second I just thought, “welp, that’s it. Tom Petty is gone and that seems like a pretty good reason to cash out here and move on to whatever comes next…” I even felt like a horrible faux-fan because I was so rapped up in my own crap that I had no clue they were doing a 4 nighter at the Bowl, which in retrospect I would kill or die for tickets to. I took him for granted BECAUSE he WAS always there… and always with the right song, wouldn’t you know it… I am really looking forward to seeing that show someday…
✌
36:50 Hendrix ....you're welcome
Saw Jan with Mahavishnu in late '73. There is no one...NO one...that has his sound. As soon as his fingers touch a keyboard, you know, and that is regardless of the instrument. He can play three notes on a Rhodes and the sound is there. One of my all time favorites!
Jan is his own thing.
back when the “pitch wheel” was ( still is) for expression. I remember waiting a high dollar Oberheim synth just to be able to play more than one note. Jan and Beck influenced that lead tone and style for many. thanks for the memories!
Awesome.
Miami Vice!
