Members bee3 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2015 Over the summer, Summer Fiction (band I play with) lugged our equipment up 10 flights of stairs at the abandoned, historic Divine Lorraine hotel and filmed some live performance video. Here is the first... it took place in what used to be the Grand Ballroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, no animal costumes or jump cuts to lonely walker on the beach in black and white or faux-60s psychedelic dissolves??? just five guys playing a great song well and not making a big deal about it and you call that a music video?? What is all over the floor in that old place? Seriously, very nice stuff. As usual. nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe abandoned is the wrong word... It was abandoned but has been bought by a developer and is set to be refurbished. The electricity situation was spotty...had to run extension cords up the empty elevator shaft. The building has a fascinating history. Google Divine Lorraine.

Interesting building...hard to believe it wasn't until 1948 that the building was fully racially integrated and was the first of its kind to do that. Seems unfathomable. Makes for a cool backdrop for a music vid...looks like a bag of cement was holding up a mic for the guitarists amp...Great band name too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mbfrancis Posted November 8, 2015 Members Share Posted November 8, 2015 Invited by a friend to go see John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett tonight. I know these are both respected singer-songwriters, but I have zero - ZERO - knowledge of their music. If you're a fan, what are your favorite songs by them? FYI show is right down the street from our mod LeeK, but alas he won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LCK Posted November 8, 2015 Members Share Posted November 8, 2015 Lyle Lovett was married to Julia Roberts for about a week or two. John Hiatt's a pretty good songwriter. This is probably his best-known song, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldgitplayer Posted November 8, 2015 Members Share Posted November 8, 2015 OK - no talking about the Trump hairdo et al….. but I've just seen a photo of a painting in a man's entrance hall. It's a portrait of him with Jesus standing beside him with a hand on his shoulder.Do you have any sane people running for president over there?

Members mbfrancis Posted November 9, 2015 Members Share Posted November 9, 2015 Won't comment on Trump, but John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett was kind of a magical show. It was just the two of them, no bands, playing acoustic for 2.5 hours. I enjoyed it more intellectually than viscerally. I could listen to John Hiatt sing the phone book, such a rich distinctive voice, and his playing style was crisp and detailed but simple if that makes sense, with basic riffs to keep it interesting. Lyle Lovett was either bluesy or sweet, capo-d crazy high (I should start doing that, we have similar voices). I went in with almost no experience with either, and song of the night for me was Road to Ensenada, wow now *that's* a lyric. "The Road To Ensenada" As I lay sick and brokenViva MexicoMy eyes just won't stay openAnd I dream a dream of homeI dream a dream of home Where there's coffee on the tableAnd kindness in your handHoney I'll help you when I'm ableBut right now I'm feeling badRight now I'm feeling bad Listen to your heart that beatsAnd follow it with both your feetAnd as you walk and as you breatheYou ain't no friend to meYou ain't no friend to me The road to EnsenadaIs plenty wide and fastIf you head South from TijuanaThen I'll see you at lastI'll see you at last But my eyes they open slowlyAnd they look around the roomThe old man he seems worriedAnd there ain't no sign of youThere ain't no sign of you Listen to your heart that beatsAnd follow it with both your feetAnd as you walk and as you breatheYou ain't no friend of meYou ain't no friend of me You can offer to the righteousThe good that you have wonBut down here among the uncleanYour good work just comes undoneYour good work just comes undone The sisters at the borderlineThey're holding out their handsThey're begging me for something LordBut I don't understandI don't understand So it's adios to AlveroTell him to stay between the linesAnd if he sees that Gabriella girlTell her I'll look her up next timeSay I'll look her up next time Because the road to EnsenadaIs plenty wide and fastAnd this time through TijuanaWell it won't be my lastIt won't be my last Listen to your heart that beatsAnd follow it with both your feetAnd as you walk and as you breatheYou ain't no friend of meYou ain't no friend of meYou ain't no friend of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted November 9, 2015 Members Share Posted November 9, 2015 Color me jealous. I bet that was a kick ass show. I've started to really appreciate the capo over the past few years. It especially makes sense for acoustic gigs when you have a couple players. Everybody plays in a different position and you get a much fuller sound.

Yeah it was capo 9 or 10 playing G, (so E or F)...sounded great with his voice. I've been struggling with mixes because my voice is so low.

I've been struggling with mixes because my voice is so low. Yeah, I think he can only play in G because every time I've seen that capo way up on the fretboard and watched his fingering, it always looked to me like he was playing G chords, G, C D7 etc...
