There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

That truly surprises me, given that it has been one of Dire Straits' most played songs on the radio ever since the eponymous album came out. And, I'm sure it has already been posted here on the thread a few times. ;)Quote:

Mark Knopfler's guitar sound on this track is also quite a hot topic. He was using an authentic 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard ─ with both pickups on ─ for the recording, through a boutique-built Comet 50 Watt valve/tube amplifier. The amp was set up with a lot of distortion, but Knopfler's fingerpicking style and use of the guitar's volume controls make the sound very clean in the attack, while still revealing the deep growl of the tube distortion underneath.
In an interview with Guitar Player, Knopfler described the sound as "I want the tooth sticking through, but it gives you a little bit of delicious pain before it gets there." :p
This week's upload from the HSCC, and it's a goodie again. ;)
good performance ... is that the same blonde that is usually on the left side ... she sounds different if it is? ... :)Quote:

Well, it's the same three women, but in the last couple of performances where all three of them were featured, Kat has always taken the lead and thus been at the center ─ she has an immense vocal range. And in this video here, Pina and Lesley have swapped places compared to the video where they did "Fantasy" from Earth, Wind & Fire. Lesley is now on the left and Pina is now on the right.Quote:

However, in the "Sara" video, Kat was on the left, indeed.
A cookie for who can name the lead guitarist on this track without looking it up. The man's playing style and phrasing should be more than enough of a clue. ;)
Interesting, Steely Dan has always been one of my favorite 'easy listening' musical groups but in terms of exceptional musicianship not really but I guess the guitarist is unique in style and innovative quality. I don't know musicians by name much so I had to cheat but it is interesting.Quote:

Here's another hint ... a big one. Colonel Wilfried de Bouwer. :)
Steely Dan, "easy-listening" and mediocre musicianship? It's jazz, for crying out loud! :rolleyes:Quote:

Well, okay, since nobody hazarded a guess, the guitarist on this particular album ─ and they've had many guitarists over the years ─ was Larry Carlton.
I don't know André Almond, but I do know who Wilfried De Brouwer is ─ by the way, it's "De Brouwer", with an "r", and he's not a colonel anymore now, because he got promoted later and he's retired now. He was the Belgian Air Force officer in charge of the investigation of the black triangle UFO flap of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He later on also joined Steven Greer's Disclosure Project.Quote:

yeah, I saw Larry Carlton, he impressed many with his style ... Jazz is certainly innovative, but Steely Dan is way too 'steady' to be notable to me beyond 'really nice to listen to'. I bought 'Gaucho' as a cassette tape. (I'm trying to avoid the word 'mainstream' :)Quote:

A couple of years ago I bought my first and only Steely Dan album, on vinyl. It's Aja. ;)

That one also has Larry Carlton on guitar ─ unmistakably, even ─ as well as Michael McDonald on backing vocals and keyboards. He too is a very recognizable artist, because of his voice, his musical writing style and his meticulous keyboard work.Quote:

After leaving Steely Dan, Michael McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers together with former Steely Dan guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, where he scored such hits as "What A Fool Believes". And like Larry Carlton and Baxter, he has also done lots of session work ─ among others, with Toto and Christopher Cross ─ as well as built up a respectable solo career of his own. ;)
