As many of you know, over lockdown I kept busy playing with The Lockdown Jams, doing anything and everything that was thrown at me. Great fun, if sometimes a little challenging. I've also mentioned that we were really hoping to take the online band into the real world. With a lot of hard work by John, on keys, it looks like it's really happening.

There's a core band, The Legends Band, who then have different singers depending on the show. At the moment there's Tom Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Sinatra, Olly Murs and Bryan Adams. This is, as you've guessed from the title, a Springsteen video. The funny thing about this is that the sax recording was never meant to be heard by anyone other than a couple of people in the band as it was recorded purely to show something they'd been told was incorrect, which is one of the reasons why the song was learnt and recorded within 30 minutes (there are other reasons for it being done within 30 mins but that's to do with someone else's argument that I'm not remotely interested in getting involved with 😉). It's also why the solo's rather more staccato than it should be. Still pretty happy with it, though. 😎

Great stuff, I really enjoyed that, terrific sax and a very convincing vocal. The one thing that disappointed me was the singer missed the chance to do the 1234 count in, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
 
Good sax and ace Bruce. The Legends concept in itself is a good one ,such variation to learn and play so great potential indeedy and I would imagine easy to get solid bookings week in week out ,Virus permitting grrrrrr . Hopefully you will manage to fix or remove the slight bubbles of toxicity in the outfit. ASAP to capitalise on your project. How many times have we spent months preparing sets, tour dates, studio time signing deals for it all to be wrought asunder by interpersonal BS. More grrrrrs .

It has been mentioned within the band, but there was no click for him to sing to so had no idea when the music was coming back in. Apparently this is to be fixed as it has to have the count. 😀

Would love to see the Lady Gaga singer too.

Me, too. I haven't worked on any of that yet.

There is that. Audiences have been hit and miss since the end of lockdown anyway. They're now almost exclusively miss. It's not an easy time for live music.

Hopefully you will manage to fix or remove the slight bubbles of toxicity in the outfit.

Ah, there are no problems with the people in The Legends. The issue was with another band that a couple of the people were playing with.

your solo reminds me to at least try to attempt some growls;

Mr Clemons growled most of the time. I find my growl is very pronounced, though, which I'd prefer to reduce but that's proving quite difficult.
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
