Made good time over in cloudy conditions. Dave and I ran through “Shine” backings until Nigel arrived and then we did some warm ups with:
Hotel California – a good rendition, the restrung PRS is easier to play and sounds great.
Shine – improving.
Eyes at Me For – the backing is now becoming ingrained; well done Dave and Nige!
Crazy Little Thing – got the boys interested in doing harmonised answer backs. Nigel ended up doing the high lines.
Let There Be Drums – Dave had retuned the kit for a great drum sound and had clearly put a lot of time into thinking through the build up. I tried counting 4 bars between the rising power chords to get some structure to it.
We then spent a lot of time working “Nowhere Man” and “She Loves You” into the Beatle medley. This finally began to work and we agreed to risk it on Saturday!
Spent another block of time reworking the “Status Quo” medley and wrapped up with “Something” Both these are considered roadworthy, but there is plenty of room to improve individual parts. Had a good run home on a dampish slightly stormy evening; getting in about 11:45pm.
