Title: DS Sydney 1986 covers
Post by: pc0000002 on December 28, 2022, 11:56:10 AM: Hi all,
I've been meaning to post these here for the longest time! Some instrumental covers of DS in Sydney '86.

I'm working on RAtR at the moment, and for the synth enthusiasts out there, I intend to use a Yamaha DX1 on the track, lucky me getting to play one! I actually asked Guy and Alan for advice on some of the synth patches, and they were very kind in their responses :)

Enjoy, thanks for listening in advance,
Pete

Don't worry I get enough comments on Youtube, by far the most on my ToL video, which blows me away! For RAtR my favourite bit was getting to do it on a DX1 - I'm intending to do every song of Sydney '86, and will use that DX1 as much as I can! If only I could snag some of MK's guitars in his auction next year... may have to settle for the book...

Don't worry, the book is also the only thing I can [barely] afford in this auction ;D

Impressive work on this DX1. A lot of people can play the guitar, but once you try these keyboards man... You get a new perspective on why Guy Fletcher has worked with Mark for a million years now. Love your dedication to this 1986 show, a lot to like about it!

Keyboard work sensational, and great to see and hear Jack's rhythm work. It really adds flavour to the end of RATR.

How about some singing? :)

Interesting that there is an added chord progression at the beginning of the final section of RATR, as compared to the studio version. I think it goes A5, E5 - G5 - A5, B5, Em. It's included in the version above.
