So last week, after 3+ months of prep, I took the stage with GP. The night went as smooth as silk and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I plan on making a video soon describing how AWAKEN - A Tribute to the Music of Yes utilizes GP, and my general approach to programming. Until then, if anyone wants to take a gander, here is a video from that show. Take care!!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video! The bassist is playing a Ric, but I’ve never seen Steve Howe play a Tele. Seems to do the job well! Looking forward to your future posts.
Congratulations on a successful maiden GP voyage! I really enjoyed the video. FYI: you are both a good player and a good singer! I only wish I could hit those high notes.
One of my all-time favorite Yes pieces, and you really did it justice, improvs and all. I love your choice of synth colors, they really bring the parts alive.
It was excellent, but I’m going to suggest two things…
First, even at 70 Rick Wakeman is doing this…
I understand he probably has more roadies than you, and it seems he hasn’t discovered Gig Performer, but even if it’s styrofoam keyboards and your wife’s bathrobe with a splash of sequins and glitter… give it some thought.
More importantly, I hope you take the opportunity to do Rick’s Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Induction speech verbatim during intermissions or perhaps as warmup material.
Lol. I agree totally about the cape, but every time I see the huge array of keyboards nowadays, I can’t help but laugh and think how completely unnecessary it is.
