This is absolutely one of my favourite LADH episodes ever! I regularly go back and watch the whole episode again and again.

If you watch the whole episode she does some faux saxophone with her voice,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unoYkG3EUwc&index=4&list=RDH9lyrOETXao.

The album she was promo-ing was Bible Belt ( produced by Betty Wright no less) which is terrific, later stuff not so much......

A few years ago I went to see Stevie Wonder in Hyde Park and DB was on the supporting bill in another tent. One of my big regrets was that I missed her that day...like the time I went to Disney in Florida with the kids and saw posters up for The Aaron Neville Band, from the day before!!

Fabulous stuff. Daryl's house is a great show. The format is so cool.

Slightly OT but my favourite Daryl's House is this one with Cheap Trick

The opening song, Hello There just hits you.

Just listen to the video you posted of I can't go for that. The vocals are chock-full of pitch correction artefacts.

I suppose it's a bit peevish, but I can't genuinely enjoy live performances if there's that kind of tinkering going on. To me it sort of goes against what makes performing live music worthwhile.

Edit: I'm sorry, I suppose there was really no need for me to bring it up. I enjoyed the video with Diane Birch. The additional posts just reminded me of how I felt about the show in general.

Mostly on it, sometimes just under it, occasionally just above it, a couple of times straining to get near it - All very natural to me (both of them).
I suppose we all hear and enjoy tunes in a different way.
:)



Another one here from the series. I love how DH seems to bring out the best in the other singers.

[/quote]I think your asking for perfect pitch in a situation where they are playing live. Ive seen Stevie Wonder live, where he doesnt hit the right note. I overlook it. But yes i hear it. Do i care, not really. Thats the great thing about humans making music. Its human.

If i want perfect, i will listen to a computer. :)

Maybe I wasn't clear, but that is exactly my point! I'd much rather hear the occasional bum note than listen to mechanically 'cleaned up' vocals.
