Pete Academy Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Recorded by someone in the audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi5IO5TmxvE&feature=fvst Quote
Higgie Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Fantastic Pete! Really enjoyed that. Awesome bass playing dude - right in the pocket! You and the drummer are right on it. Your singer does a great job too - Fagen has such a unique voice that covers never seem to sound right! I like the twist he puts on it. Brass section did a fantastic job too. Great job all round mate! Quote

Bass-wise, you just have to keep that song tight. Quote
Higgie Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Yeah that's what I was getting at. He sings it in a way that makes it his own, without making it sound wrong, which is hard because of how unique Fagen's vocal is! Agreed - And you did it justice matey! Quote
PTB Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Really enjoyed this, nice playing all round. Must get to see you soon but have been gigging myself whenever you've been playing down sarf......... Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Sounds really good Pete, is that Bryan? I see Tim on tenor... lovely player and a gent, he has a perfect sound for this gig! Quote

Bilbo Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 oOu have the gig everyone else secretly wants, Pete. Or was that cetera? Quote
Clarky Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Thoroughly enjoyed that Pete, very polished performance. One of my two fave SD songs (other being Take Me Alive) Quote
xilddx Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I think it's easy to forget that Pete is a also seriously good bassist! Not just a Basschat member who likes the Daily Mail and starts contentious threads I love Nearly Dan, seen them twice at the Jazz Cafe. They are superb live! And the singer is a very funny geezer. Great performance by all Pete, I really enjoyed it, thank you! Quote
philwood Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Great stuff Pete, love it, you guys are tremendous Quote
