    Great overall performance, but especially Elysha's vocals with the Chrissy Hynde-style attitude. Excellent!!

    Eleanor has stepped straight out of 1970. The dance moves, the dress style, the overall look. Groovy, baby!

    Elysha rocks this one. I've seen Chrissie Hynde perform this live and you are all spot on with the energy and the growl in the lyrics.

    This group is awesome! First, they come out with< Midnight Train to Georgia, Heard it through the Grapevine, Scar Tissue, Now Middle of the Road... Just so professional. Keep having these kids produce more. I love them!

    Reminder everyone - these young performers are students learning to perform within The School of Rock METHOD. These "All Star" groups are assembled by School of Rock to showcase the School of Rock product which are these young musicians that can play and perform whatever is put before them. They are being trained to be professional musicians that can perform whatever is put before them. Think of them as journeyman level professionals. They have been trained not only to play the compositions, but also to perform the pieces as members of a live Rock band. Their performance is not only musicianship but also acting a role.
    These young people are already able to perform at the level of professional studio musicians, but also deliver the role associated with these classic performances.
    School of Rock is the MIT or Cal Tech of Rock and Roll musicianship. Hats off to them. These students are not just gifted, but are educated and trained professionals.

    What a fine crew = the lead singer has a wonderful husky voice, the lefty guitarist has all the licks and the drummer miisses no beats. These studio performancces are just beautiful.

    Great guitar solos, and awesome lead vocals, although the mixing could have emphasized the lead singer's voice more.

    Great cover of a classic by the kids. At the 1:50 mark, that left-handed lead guitarist (Nathan?) is rocking it out.

    I’m always impressed by these young musicians. The studio recordings let you witness just how good they are. The live recordings with the noise and bad acoustics, not so much.

    @Shalmaneser1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It's all in the headphones! :p The drummer & bass is using Sony MDR-7506, a very revealing headphone often used in mixing, production, & radio stations. Don't recognize the other 'cans, but the safe bet is they are all highly revealing. Note all the drummer's microphones. No place to hide!

  • @rickcastellitto979
    @rickcastellitto979 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Elysha's voice is lacking to me. I want to see her belt it out. Not saying she can't sing. just seems there is no power behind it. Eleanor has power as seen in both Midnight Train to George and Heard it Through the Grape Vine.

    In my opinion I think Eleanor would have been better suited to sing lead for this song, But that aside, the band was tight, sounded great and everyone didn't miss a beat. Well done. Chrissy Hynde would be impressed.
