I just LOVE watching bands playing live on DVD or the old TV. It brings an honest approach on how to play a particular song live, without all the comforts that a guitar player has in the studio, not to mention the tricks that are at his or her disposal there!
In the studio you can overdub like crazy, not to mention the retakes as well. If your not a musician and your reading this, there are MANY times/songs in ones musical career, that they wish that they had a second chance to play a certain song again, while performing live!
While just sitting back and chilli’n after work, I happened to come across this site that had great live shows from bands that I love to figure out some of their tunes! The site is called Wolfgangsvault and just check out who they have there!
Here, I found a couple of real nice classic tunes. Some of them I have been looking for ages and were only too happy to find them. On a few of them, the camera angles that they used, are not the best for what I need of them. I get the odd little view of what the guitarist is doing and that is great, but it always leaves you wanting more!
The site seems to have it all, in regards to band memorabilia. Posters, copies of back stag passes and GREAT pic’s! I wish that my finances were a bit better because they certainly have some real nice things that I’d LOVE to have.
If your a musician, have you attempted to lift ways of playing a particular song from watching the band in a live performance? Has anyone else been to this site? Have you ever used this site and what do yo think of it!?
Keep on Jammin’

I’ve checked out the site a number of times. There’s some great live recordings. I love the older Genesis ones.

Hey GREAT to see that you check out the site once in a while there Wilton!
I just came across this site and I just had to tell someone, so tag … you guys were it! Some day I’m sure they’ll have this great Toronto band called Wilton Said on it. Keep your eyes peeled for them!
Keep on Jammin’ Wilton!!!
