What's that you say? half price on lights at the hire place? Am I tempted to add some lights to our gig?

 

no, I have come here to pick up a vocal compressor to try and smooth out the low register vocals on Country Radio and South Of The Border, so that they are lifted above the guitars. I will just hire this device and...how much did you say those lights were again?

Ok, so I might have gone slightly mad. Maybe it was reading that bio of Syd Barrett and all those early Floyd gigs.

 

 

then again it didn't seem to bother the boys too much.

In between sets, I spotted this adorable little pooch outside int eh cold, waiting for his/her owner. Awwwwwww cuuute.

Rosie says the lights were either awesome or aggravating, depending on how he felt in the moment,  Claudette says it was distracting, I thought it was like being in a tumble drier filled with Christmas tree lights.

I am not sure if we have quite got the hang of using them.

 

Carl also got a bit keen with the fog machine, so it was a whole effect. I am not sure if we'll do it again quite the same way but it was a fascinating experiment.

 

Oh yes, the vocal compressor helped. Cheers to Bobby and Pete for some additional production advice.

 

Also, cheers to Claudette, Suzanne, Steven and all the folks that came and danced last night. Good times. 

 

There are still blinking lights in front of my eyes now. I can see infinity!!!
