    Takes me back to the days in 3rd BDE, 3rd ID. They played the Peter Gabriel version every day on the outside speakers every day when physical training was finished, since it was the Sledgehammer brigade. Last I heard its colors had been cased and Kelly Hill left empty, but this brings back memories.

    Instruments-wise some covers are epic, some are good, and some just okay-ish. But the party starts when they start singing together. They are like one being with two voices. Everything is spot on, they are as accurate as swis clock. I think that if one was about to snore during the night, the other would kick in at the exact same time, and they would harmonize :) :) That's why I especially like covers like "In the air tonight", "Kiss from a rose", "Rich girl", "Bell bottom blues" and would add this one as well. Towards the end, these songs become something like a massive celebration with fireworks.

    That was a happy surprise with an acoustic guitar, and really good control on the style of playing. Peter's version is almost done with the "wall of sound", but Larkin Poe made the instruments stand out as skillfully mastered. Better than the original every time. So what is their secret to awesome all around performance? Wait, don't tell me, let the whole world wonder too.

    • @ZacCostilla
      @ZacCostilla 2 роки тому +4

      The key to the cover’s success is SPACE! The mind naturally fills in the pieces. As you tap your feet, it’s adding in percussion subconsciously. The simplicity of it all is why songs like this do so amazing. The more you try to add to get the “wall of sound”, the more you have to do to get it to work right.

      @@davebeach2343 I LOVE BB King! My mom used to put on his albums, and Aretha Franklin, and a lot of soul music, Young Rascals, Spencer Davis Group & Traffic, Beatles and more. There are times I love the “wall of sound”, but usually I prefer to let my mind naturally fill in the blanks.
      It was hard as a beginning guitar player (a couple or three decades ago) because I wanted to play to fill in the spaces my brain did on its own, and could never keep up. I had to slow the 45s down to 33 1/3 to realize the notes I was hearing in my head were my own harmonies and weren’t on tue record (we had a ton of records at home from the jukebox at my parents’ restaurant, every time they’d switch them out for new singles).
