Then onto this one

@MajorRage this came up on my YouTube feed so naturally I had a listen.

Three points……

Roddy, Mike, Bill and the guitarist must have thought, “fuck it, let’s see how Chuck has been going after all these years and give him another hoon” ( despite firing him for being hammered too often all those years ago )……I think the other Mike (Patton) is safe…..
Kinda poignant, Chuck was dead not long after this performance
Gould has THE most killer bass tone I’ve heard in years. Him and Mike Bordin drive this song like an absolute motherfucker ( which is needed to make up for Moselys efforts )

@MN5 tried to like this song but outside of the bass it sucked. But have enjoyed your recommendation on Joe very much.

No love for this song? What is wrong with your Gringos?

There’s other better versions, it was just poignant to me with Chuck trying his best and failing to sound decent

@MN5 Yeah everything is relevant because I don’t know who the fuck Chuck is but obviously you have a connection so it makes a difference. Plus since you’re a bass player, I assume, that kind of stuff sticks with you. So no love for Randy Bachman and looking out for number one?

@MN5 Surely the problem there is mainly the volume on Chuck's mic! You can't really hear him.

Gould's bass is ridiculously tight.

Absolutely. Just about blew the speakers in the CX5 when I was listening.

Some really nice subtle grooves from him too, subtle in the way a sledgehammer is !

@MN5 one song we absolutely thrashed with my mates on a roady to Napier in our teens...along with a couple other bangers of the time that I shake my head at now haha

@MN5 Diamond girl, play for you and a couple others in my youth. Good yacht rock stuff.

Is it yacht rock or folk rock ?

I’d consider yacht rock stuff with smooth synthesisers and saxophones. Michael McDonald, Some Steely Dan, Boz Skaggs, some Toto, Christopher Cross etc.

Perhaps @Tim can clear it up ?

broughie

@MN5 lol. Admitting liking music in the yacht rock category would be devastating to one’s credibility. @tim save us although I down with whatever.

@MN5 That song definitely has some smooth and jazzy elements, but it's not quite there, especially in the vocals and some of the rhythm section. A bit early, like earlier Steely Dan.

By 1980 they were definitely making yacht rock though.
