MADNESS. "CARDIAC ARREST". LIVE PIANO/KEYBOARD COVER.

ALL WORKED OUT BY EAR, as is every song I play.
Here is my performance of one of the hardest piano parts in any Madness song.
Mike Barson`s incredible piano style & playing really shows on this one.
This very difficult piano part chops & changes so much that it made it extremely difficult for me to work out & perform. But i`m satisfied that i`ve got it as close as possible to how Mike Barson played it on the original studio recording back in 1981. I`m pretty sure nobody else goes into the detail I do.
Plus I play the vibraphone solo too.
Enjoy.
(Note to self, I used my Pianoteq preset 1.5.19. CARDIAC ARREST & SUN & THE RAIN on this recording).

I perform the classic vibraphone solos too ! :o) at 1:39 and 1:55.
Extremely difficult trying to play the vibes exactly like Mike Barson did, whilst i`m playing the offbeat piano chords too.

Wow, you really nailed it! Hats off, mister. It will never cease to amaze me how someone can compose a piece like this and I love watching someone so skilled doing their version. I even cropped my house bell ring tone from your video (the vibraphone part), so thank you also for that. :)

[@MrNuttylee7]

This is such a brilliant comment. Thank you very much.

[@roberttruman8444]

Damn!!!! That is one well tuned ear!

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you.

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

I could literally listen to these back to back all day.

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you.

[@danfossard4626]

Mate, that bit at 2:03 where the high marimba note carries on over the "eyes fall on his wristwatch" line. Just beautiful!

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you Dan. Glad you noticed.
I had to use my 2nd sustain pedal to do that.
People possibly don`t realise i`m operating foot pedals too.

Fan of The Stranglers Lee? I reckon you could get some of their tracks like Hanging Around sounding amazing on that setup
Also, know any Selecter songs?

[@MrNuttylee7]

Yeah I like The Stranglers. I really love `Peaches`.

"i`ve got it as close as possible to how Mike Barson played it on the original studio recording back in 1981. I`m pretty sure nobody else goes into the detail I do." < Agreed. The effort here is massive.

[@MrNuttylee7]

Brilliant comment my old friend, thank you very much.
I`m glad you can see just how much time & effort I put into my Madness covers.
I just hope others can see it too.
I drive myself mad with the amount of time I spend on each song, but I have to get my Madness covers as close as possible to how Mike Barson originally played them, and if I can`t, then I won`t cover that song !!,

[@danfossard4537]

[@Dharmaville]

[@MrNuttylee7]

Yes, it`s such an original piece.
