    1. This Nguyên Lê show made me a fan of the mans playing. I have a few of his shows and each one is an awesome performance. I have 2 shows of this Tribute To Dark Side Of The Moon and they are both awesome shows. I'll post the other one soon.

    4. Great performances, though if you have a strong sentimental connection to the original you can't enjoy anything other than the original.

    5. I can see your point but that is all up to the listener. I have been listening to Pink Floyd for almost 60 years and have as deep a sentimental history as any other fan to the music of one of my favorite bands. I love hearing musicians interoperate songs close to my musical heart, they will never replace the original but I do enjoy it. Is that what your comment actually meant, the way it's worded with great performances as the first words it sounds like it was a nice listen. I only ask because written word is not as easy to interoperate as spoken. Glad you enjoyed the performances.

    6. It's a bit complicated, the arrangements were spectacular and the reinterpretation of the original tracks very inventive without betraying the source, so it was a nice listen and even more... but at the same time I kept listening to the original in my head. I don't know why it felt like that... I guess it's one of those "it's not you, it's me" moments.

    7. I can understand that really. It's all up to the listener. Some people can go to a bar and listen to a cover band all night. Some can't stand a cover band and want to hear originals. Some like interpretive artists some don't. That's the beauty of music any music lover can find something that rings true to them and find joy in the listening experience. I can discuss differences in music with any listener but in the end it's always you do you and I'll do me and we will find the areas we agree and speak to us both. My musical education started with Jazz, my Grandfather was a drummer who took lessons from Buddy Rich and Gene Crupa. He played enlisted men's clubs around the world during WW2 while in the Navy. He started teaching me how to hold sticks at 5. I guess that's where I get my more interpretive bent on music. I hope our discussion doesn't turn you off of the blog or commenting on posts. I never call music talks debates because debates can cause animosity, I like to think of them as a sharing of our loves and dislikes. Sharing of ideas can bread tolerance and friendships. There can be a lot of it's not you it's me moments but there can also be lots of agreements to, I love music for that. Hope to talk to you again.
