Curious who plays slide from 6:00 to 6:30. I'm thinking Ry Cooder, but not sure.

I bet Sonny

Some of the 'heroes' are almost instantly recognizable.
But, man... John McLaughlin. I can hear his part all day.
I am a big fan of his work.
The guy (82yo) is a completely out-of-the-box.

The final result is MUCH better than i expected.
The song never gets tired.
Sound incredible (Maybe the best mix/master from GF/BG ever)

Thank you.

Where is John M.'s part?

I enjoyed it very much, especially the intro with Jeff Beck, but was disappointed that it ended so abruptly.   I have listened three times so far, but intend to keep listening.

Definitely a one-time listen for me and all my suspicions from hearing the snippets were confirmed, almost nothing to add. Wished for a longer intro from Jeff Beck instead of cutting him unceremoniously like that. I just wonder if bonus material will be released and will be ironically more popular than the main thing.

If they can do something like mix and release 1 proper duet with Mark a month, allowing more time and space to enjoy these players, a shorter, more "digestible" track and a better thing for famous guitar players to share with their fans instead of asking them to play aural Where's Waldo which I'm not interested playing in the slightest.

The same goes for me, a one-time listen. I stopped being interested the day I learned that it would be a collaboration for ONE song. For me, it's like a big sandbox where lots of kids came to play, run and scream, ... too much information for me, I'd have loved an album with all those stars, but beyond all that, beyond my little personal whim, I'm glad I bought the CD and contributed a tiny bit to the cause.

Number One iTunes charts.  Go Mark!

My band got to number 6 in the iTunes country chart.

I think we sold about 30 downloads

Not diminishing MK's achievement but I don't think many people download from iTunes anymore...

I did, but I'm totally not down with the cool gang.

Thank you. I'm not familiar with JM's music, but those little runs there got my attention. Beautiful stuff.

[TheTimeWasWrong]

Who is 4:30-4:38? It's beautiful!

6:40-6:48 Derek Trucks?

Overall, I'm super surprised with the result. It's not boring and the flow is great.

This may not be popular but the only bit I want to be over is Hank Marvin. It slows it down and I’ve never been a fan of his sound. Although I appreciate his legendary and influential status.

GF about the diary

I will probably leave it until next week when the video is out which we are still fine tuning.


Video coming

Great!

GF:

Yes, the upcoming video really, really helps.

A video makes more sense than the audio itself.

Seeing our enthusiasm about the new LH...
Well, here at this forum we got audio engineer, drummers, bass players, keyboard player and a lot of guitar players.

Can we made a collab on a DS/MK song?
Remote recording, nothing fancy, just for fun.
I made a bunch of collabs during the pandemic, it's really fun.

[K-alberto]

Listened to it. Listened again and again and…. WOW!! That crescendo, that crescendo, that crescendo all the 9 minutes long is something unbelieveble, a pur joy to listen. I have no sense of repetition, only the curiosity of "what's going to happen now"… I still can't help crying every time i listen to it, especially the setting up of the song for the first 3 minutes… such an insane beauty.
Never thought it would be such a high point.
