Maybe they were having a bad day ? We were just the helping hands rather than connected with the band so maybe that's the difference. ? Can't fault Mark Stanway tho. He even offered to take us out to the local chippie for a treat before the Magnum gig. Dave Edited February 13 by dmccombe7 Quote
dmccombe7 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 1 hour ago, Bilbo said: It's all a matter of perspective. Multi Story, the prog band I recorded a track with for their CBF10 cd, they supported Magnum on the OASTN tour. They got on well with Stanway but didn't say much about the others either way. I have never met any of them. I think my fav artists that i've met have been Phil Collins who bought us coffee and cakes, Phil Lynott who played pool with us and John Sloman when he was with Uriah Heep. He was also a very friendly guy and the one i forgot who also came over and sat with us in the lounge area for a few beers was Francis Dunnery from It Bites when they supported Robert Plant at Barrowlands in Glasgow.

Bilbo Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Another one for Dave - 'How Far Jerusalem' from Magnum's 'On A Storyteller's Night'. Great lyrics. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/how-far-jerusalem-magnum/ 1 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 'Two Hearts' from 'On A Storyteller's Night' has just gone up. Knocked that one out in my lunch break (working from home today)! My brother just told me Tony Clarkin died last year. I was so sad to hear that. I think he was a massively underrated writer and I have loved so much of his work over the years. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/two-hearts-magnum/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 (edited) 'On A Storyteller's Night' from 'On A Storyteller's Night', oddly enough. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/on-a-storytellers-night-magnum/ Edited February 14 by Bilbo 1 Quote

The one for Endless Love opens ok so no idea what's going on. Dave Quote

Bilbo Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 'Days Of No Trust' from the 1988 Magnum album, 'Wings Of Heaven'. Five in one day. I'm off to bed now. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/days-of-no-trust-magnum/ 1 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 'All England's Eyes' from 'On A Storyteller's Night' by Magnum. I am not entirely confident on this one as there are passages where the bass is lost in the what is a fairly dense mix. I have had to 'guess' some of the details here and there so, if you hear it differently, you may be right. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/all-englands-eyes-magnum/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 'Vigilante' from the 1986 Magnum album of the same name. I think that's the lot for now. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/vigilante-magnum/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 I had meant to do this one for ages - Kai Eckhardt's bass solo from 'Blue In Green' on the John McLaughlin Trio's 'Live At The Royal Festival Hall' recording in 1989. So not Wally Lowe! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/blue-in-green-bass-solo-john-mclaughlin-trio/ 2 Quote
Bilbo Posted Sunday at 20:15 Author Posted Sunday at 20:15 I did this one for a giggle. This is the most meaningless transcription on the website….. Four notes, most of which are Bb. There is some significant E activity in there but the G and F# barely get a look in. ‘The Pump’ from the 1980 Jeff Beck album, ‘There And Back’. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-pump-jeff-beck/ 2 Quote
Bilbo Posted Tuesday at 10:38 Author Posted Tuesday at 10:38 Another one I am proud of, this is the complete Felix Pappalardi bass performance on the album version of 'Nantucket Sleighride' from the 1971 Mountain album of the same name. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/nantucket-sleighride-to-owen-coffin-mountain/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted Wednesday at 18:36 Author Posted Wednesday at 18:36 Anthony Jackson's complete bass part for the tune 'Beethoven's Piano Sonata 8 - Pathetique' from the 2011 Hiromi Trio Project album, 'Voices'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/beethovens-piano-sonata-8-pathetique-hiromi/ Quote
Bilbo Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago 'Dreamer' from the 2014 Hiromi Trio Project album, 'Alive'. Not 100% sure as there are some classic AJ 'what the f*** is he doing NOW' moments but most of it is safe. There are some heavy challenges with the read, though, as a lot of the chart is in weird time signatures which does odd things to the ties in Sibelius. Once you 'get it', though, it soon settles. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/dreamer-hiromi-uehara-trio-project/ 1 Quote
