NJ Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Some bytes from our basement practice this past weekend - www.zr02.com/bcbone.mp3 Got some additional tightening up to do as we're one of the bands opening for Heart over the 4th weekend. It's starting to come together. Give a listen and fire off some critique if you've got a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jimmy - can't take credit for the arrangement - thats ala Savoy Brown from the early 70's. The lady will still do a set or 2 with us, but her wheelhouse was more ballad driven and we want to predominantly stick with rocked up 8/12 bar. Just checked out the set, NJ. Very hot numbers. I especially liked the smoldering track #2. Thanks for sharing. Thanks bro - I'll have a good video after our gig on the 4th Song # 3 is a winner. Youve got some Allman Brothers sound in there too. Thanks dude - lot of good stuff here NJ-I love the way you smash that high hat-is that a Leslie I'm hearing? Yep - our keyboard lady is not only beautiful - but has a Leslie.

SoFlaJets Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yep - our keyboard lady is not only beautiful - but has a Leslie. now that's what I call a committed musician-any keyboardist that will actually lug a Leslie organ to a practice or a gig is serious and should be kept at all costs-I would SO be your singer bro if I was in the Windy city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanDoug Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 now that's what I call a committed musician-any keyboardist that will actually lug a Leslie organ to a practice or a gig is serious and should be kept at all costs- LOL Yes, Leslies are heavy and tough to carry. Great work John. You guys are sounding tighter each time I hear you. Same guitarist as before? He's playing very well. Sounds like a drummer did the mixing on these songs. True? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy sings a great version of Elton John's Mona Lisa And Mad Hatters too-very cool NJohn-to be opening for such a group of legends...damn, I'm jealous W52PP3lYlUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wanted to get them for a long time as they're perfect for our demographic and put on a great show, but they were always a little beyond our price point. We're elated to have them back the 2nd time in 3 years. The other thing they do is an amazing job on are Zeppelin covers I made a total fool of myself 2 years ago when toward the end of their show I was going over some merchandise issues with their road manager (a very cool chick) and I had kinda eluded to the fact that I was a long time fan and had probably seen them before. They come out for their first encore and bust into Misty Mountain Hop and Nancy is just shredding it note for note on her Strat and I looked at the manager and said "wow - how long they been doing Zeppelin covers"? She said "oh - about 25 years give or take" My cover was blown and she knew I was the stooge I am. Really looking forward to seeing them perform again. They and their organization are top flight in every respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years later, I remember hearing a bootleg record of a Heart concert on the campus radio where they covered Zeppelin's Rock & Roll, Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop, The Rover, and several others I forget. Over the years, I have had occasion to tell people that the only band--club date, bar, arena act, etc.--I ever heard do Zeppelin right was Heart. Nancy Wilson's version on that bootleg is actually better than Plant's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that one, SFJ. I do recall the album Encomium from that era, which I didn't think was any good. 1. Misty Mountain Hop - 4 Non Blondes 2. Hey Hey What Can I Do - Blowfish, Hootie & the Blowfish, Hootie & the Blowfish 3. D'Yer Mak'er - Sheryl Crow 4. Dancing Days - Stone Temple Pilots 5. Tangerine - Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Big Head Todd & the Monsters 6. Thank You - Duran Duran 7. Out on the Tiles - Blind Melon 8. Good Times Bad Times - Cracker 9. Custard Pie - Helmet, David Yow 10. Four Sticks - Rollins Band 11. Going to California - Never the Bride 12. Down by the Seaside - Tori Amos, Robert Plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Here it is Borgoguy-Great White Qs_BNunyIMI Thanks, dude. Now I know the reason why I didn't know the version: It was done by Great White, which I try to avoid as much as I can. For some reason, those guys--especially the singer--have bugged me since their--IMO--awful version of the Ian Hunter classic, Once Bitten Twice Shy. I will say that you were right about this version of Babe I'm Gonna..., which is pretty good. BTW, doesn't the guitar player in Great White look like Ian Hunter?
