ytserush Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Pretty much the first set. I have to say I haven't watched the second set in a long time. Don't really enjoy most of the second set. It didn't help that some of the performances were kind of off for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Jacobs Ladder, Xanadu, Hemispheres, Cygnus X-1 and 2112 are the the highlight of the disc. Rarely watch anything else due to the painful singing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 The best bit is when Eaglemoon comes on and moons the band and the audience! It totally stole the show and was totally worth the beat down she got from security! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Jacob's Ladder If only Alex had played it right . . . sigh. What did he do wrong? The riff before the solo and the solo itself should have more bends. He plays more straight notes. I know it sounds like a little thing, but the solo lacks some of the passion and richness because of those little cheats. Unfortunately for me, I am unable to not notice it. Not to mention the severe lack of pinch harmonics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Check this guy at around the :37 mark - this is how I imagine the original solo is played (more or less). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zl4K7ZWpxI Edited July 25, 2016 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Ignorance of the technicalities of music is bliss sometimes! :) Every musician I've known mentally dissects music into parts by instrument, beats and depending on their knowledge of theory, measures, bridge, refrains...etc. Its not a bad thing but it definitely changes how you listen to something. I wasn't saying it's a bad thing. All I said is that it is bliss to be ignorant of technicalities that can mar an otherwise enjoyable experience.

It's possible that if he was having some issues with arthritis he might have compromised a few things. Bending requires more finger-strength (you're stretching a length of wire that's already stretched fairly taut - not just forcing it down against the neck but then forcing it up or down the width of the neck). You're also running the risk of sounding flat or sharp notes when you bend the strings. The way he did it was a "safer" way, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Cygnus X-1 had something really intense about it. At least to me it did. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad there isn't enough enthusiasm any longer here on TRF to do what they used to do before I got here. They used to have listening/watching parties. They'd set a time and day and those who were interested would join in watching or listening to the dvd/cd. I'm going to try to watch it this week, but it might have to wait until next on account of the heat. It's threatening to cool back down to a more comfortable temperature next Sunday. What does this have to do with watching R40? The computer generates heat. It generates even more heat when I used the DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine can give us the official signal to start (assuming you can have the video up on the screen along with the forum, Lorraine). I didn't even think of that. :( The best I could do is to have two windows up - one for the dvd and one for the thread. Then, I'd have to be switching back and forth. Watching on the computer is the only way I have of watching anything. We don't own a television. I'm going to start a thread and ask who would be interested.

As for shrinking a window, it should be the little symbol in the upper right that looks like overlapping squares. You should be able to open a couple of windows and drag them to where you want them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
