[Music]
that didn't feel like an ending it was
going into something else okay so
here's my thing i think earlier and i
could be wrong about this and one of the
other songs
it sounded like they were starting
whipping post but then it went into
another song where there was like that
fade out i think it's kind of all mixed
like mixed in yeah so i this is totally
a guess and i could be wrong
i think what happened was they mixed
this record
and they realized man whipping post is
like their
biggest finisher so it's like even
though they didn't finish the concert
with whipping post let's move it to the
end
um because that was the only spot where
there was a weird transition
and this song so it's like probably they
just moved it to the end popped it
which i kind of would rather it would
just in the middle and
like the last song we listened to that
felt like an ending that's so true
so it's like um was it a great choice i
don't know
i could have seen it get like flow right
into because i felt it they even in the
record kept in the doo
i kept the beginning of whooping post
yeah in it it's like
i don't know so that was interesting
yeah and it might might not have been
living post but it was a start of a
different song so
i don't know either way record was
amazing uh top to bottom
immaculate guitar immaculate guitar dude
the guitar
like easily i'm gonna i'm just gonna
like beat the show a little bit yeah
every you had the double drums the bass
the organs backing him up literally just
propounding the guitar forward
yeah the the whole concert was just
i mean it was flawless it was a great
concert as far as a live album this is
maybe one of the best live albums i've
ever heard
just really really powerful stuff
phenomenal their jams
their jams did really well from the
early i mean it was cool that they
started with blue stuff
and i was like i was a little worried i
was like man if they keep the blues
thing the whole time
i like blues but i don't know if i like
it enough for like an
hour to record yeah of just that
um they showed range dude we showed a
lot of range so the first couple two
three songs were blues and all of a
sudden they went out of that and they
still had blues elements but now they're
doing these weird ethereal these chords
that are like jazzy
um just all over the map um great rock
tracks
just killer killer songs kill her stuff
kill her i have one thing i wasn't huge
okay literally so the vocals and
whipping posts
right i didn't like how when the chorus
came around
it's he like delayed his voice delayed
on almost every part
i was not a fan of that i guess it was
intentional but it's like you look at
how impactful it is in the studio when
he's like on the dot
like there yeah like for like when it's
supposed to be there
yeah and then even the part where it
comes he supposed to go sometimes i feel
when he goes back into it like
they delayed it there too and then it
just felt like kind of it felt like so
i was listening to it and i had the
exact same thing where i was like man i
wish you would just do it on time with
it
yeah here was my thought he's probably
sung this song
a billion times you know yep and so to
him it's probably
i've done it on stage where i think i'm
now i'm not comparing myself to him by
any means but i've done stuff on stage
where i feel like
when i've played a song a lot and i go
you know what it's feeling more
passionate to me to play it in this way
that's like
slightly different than i normally play
it but you got to think the average
listener hasn't played this song
as many times as he's played this song
true but why on the live record
i think it was just him he was like man
it's really cool because he's heard it a
billion times so he's like
for me this is a more interesting way of
singing it this like yeah i'm saying it
this one time this way
and i sing it the other 999 thousand
times the other way
so it's like this is interesting but for
everybody else who's like i just want to
hear that song though
we don't play that song every night we
play it a lot we don't play it as much
as you makes it just like kind of like
feels like
even with what even with the differences
it feels like it was kind of like
rhythmically like a little unnatural it
was unnatural
um you know yeah i'll tell you i i
i felt the same way on that and i also
felt even even in the earlier songs it
almost felt like the vocal was like
not filler isn't the word but it really
did feel like it's like okay we need
vocals for songs
but it really did feel like the
instrumentals like show yeah
i was missing out on man's show i was
missing out on the vocals for most of
the concert
and it wasn't until whipping post
because i even thought about this what i
was hearing and i was like
you know what because my biggest thing
was all the false endings
which i can be a fan of i think they
used a little too liberally on the album
yeah um just because i felt like by the
end they kind of lost their impact
like you hear like four or five false
endings in a song and one of the false
endings lasted like
seven minutes of a false ending yeah and
and it's cool
but i think if you if you do that too
many times it starts to lose the
the effectiveness of a false ending like
a false ending should feel like oh my
god it's getting to an end
yeah and then no it's not going back um
not it's not a bad thing
but one of the things i was thinking is
i was like okay they've used a bunch of
false guitar endings like a bunch of
them where it just like breaks down just
a guitar
and it's like guitar for a while then it
goes another stuff they broke it down to
drums they had weird rhythmic things
where it was the bass
um they even had an organ part i think
but they didn't have any vocal parts
until
whipping post is the only actually i
liked i liked the vocals at the very end
what's what i'm saying when it wasn't
great when he when he came down i
actually like that a lot it was just
like when it came to the grit parts
where i'm like oh
show up on that one dot so that's why i
wish they would have utilized his voice
more
yeah because i think they use all these
false endings and it's like if you would
have traded out like two or three of
those false endings
performing vocals or some vocals like
even if you bring it down now he's
whispering and he's like
close to the mic like he did at the end
of whipping post i'm like man that would
have been so much more impactful
um but again i'm sure if i was there i
would feel totally different
yeah so just the guitar work man i like
this master class in guitar work
we'd heard the guitars play before but
not like that dude no
no i feel i feel like some of these
songs if they were in the studio i
probably wouldn't have care for them as
much
yeah but when they show up live with
them just insane
there were so many things that
guitarists did that felt like he
completely deviated from like
those like southern rocky roots and kind
of just went all these other places you
could tell he's you could tell he's
an immaculate like guitarist in general
he's virtuoso he's not just
i can pick this lane and i can play
blue's likes he's like no i'm very
knowledgeable in this field in this
field in this field like
he's playing from these different scales
and different modes and um
just very very interesting yeah and you
called it um at one point where like it
felt like atypical for blues
because we're expecting like the 12 bar
blues where eight of the bars are like
the exact same
yeah just like oh no i'm just going to
take this one out and plug that one oh
those chords were
the chord changes i've never heard that
in blues and to me that was maybe my
highlight of
the whole record or there were two
highlights the one i think uh hotlanta
was the second to last song
and there was a point where we were both
like both getting into it and it
was my favorite song i think it was my
favorite song that was my favorite song
my favorite moment might have been
hearing those chords because it was
i was like wow those are so different so
different to take these
i don't know what they are but they're
like these add weird ad insert weird
numbers
and you would think it'd be like a
common thing and maybe it is we just
haven't heard much of it because like
you have toolbar blues right think of
how easy it would be just to kind of
pull out that one and like pull out
these two and throw those two in to like
make it
feel super super jazzy or super
different when it's actually
thrown them in but i haven't heard it
too much what i've heard from the blues
the blues is pretty standard as far as
chord progressions go
yeah like that's part of the blues it's
pretty standard progressions you have
crazy guitarists and you have people
who because like you're like taking
advantage of like the predictable chord
changes
oh i know i can just go ham on
predictable chord changes but the
predictable chord changes
is what blues is at least to me yeah um
or like a big portion of it
and so to hear these which are these are
chords that if i heard them in any song
i'd be like those are weird those aren't
normal chords
those are not everyday chords that
progression was super interesting um and
to put that in
a music styling that is specifically
like normalizes yeah it normalizes
various
regiment like rudimented chords just
very very cool
um dude i love the bass player yeah
because it was like not every
progression he did it but i feel like
almost like every third or fourth
progression he's like going
like going into it yeah he's walking
pretty hard i liked how hot the bass was
i felt like it
was more like it was good in the front
than like what bands usually do
but like which i think is important
because they have a great bassist so
i don't know his name but i mean he's
he's impeccable uh so i think having him
that hot in the mix was a great choice
studio wise
it was so crazy also just to hear a full
record of like
like what you can accomplish when you
have two drummers yeah i would say
there's so many things pulled back
so like we listen to some modern music
too
outside of like what we listen to on
here um and we also listen to this
outside of it too but uh one thing in
modern music that
i love is diverse rhythmic stuff
which for a very very long time when you
have
rock music especially your most bands
are stuck to
you have a drummer and you can only play
what one drummer can play
maybe add a tambourine by another person
yeah but
pretty much you're you're limited to
what one drummer can play and a drummer
can play a lot of really cool things
but when you have those two drummers
going back and forth and sometimes
they're playing the same thing but
they're just slightly off because it's
the human nature
it just makes it feel so much cooler and
you have some guys like like
it just felt orchestral at some parts uh
it it felt chaotic and energetic yeah
like where one drummer is playing really
quiet everyone's like doing a snare roll
to try to like
build the tension up it's stuff that is
impossible for one person to play
and i think modern music utilizes you
know
that concept a lot that i love and so to
hear it back then like this is
groundbreaking to me this is one of the
coolest things i've heard in a long time
yeah no
it's insane especially because you have
like one drummer who's playing like
let's say consistently for this section
another who's doing like this
rhythmically weird thing with the band
only with these stops
but the one drummer is keeping it
consistent so like they're able to
effectively do that and just like stay
with it
it's just it's crazy drummers what you
can do yeah
it's it's just cool um overall i don't
even know if we need to rate this like
this is a
i don't think i feel comfortable like
rating albums especially live albums i
don't think so either because there's
just so much going on
um but you know our thoughts i mean it's
a great album i think if you are a
guitar player you need to listen to this
album
this is an album that you need to listen
to absolutely so there are at least like
seven key points where i felt like oh my
goodness he just did that
yeah or he's oh he's currently doing
that you know yeah so that being said
uh 80k reaction done get us to 90k
and we can do another full album with
that being said we'll see ya
