Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (cover); The Lego Lads šŸ˜Ž

Brian,
The British invasion continues and this is a great sounding effort! You have quite the crew there. I had to turn it up a bit and it was well worth it. I admire all the instruments and players coming together to make a nice ā€œfullā€ production. Top notch stuff, vox and play!

All the best and be well,
LB

Hi Brian et al,

Love the early EJ stuff. This and Rocket Man are top 2 for me.

Sorry, no idea what you mean by the ā€œMoisesā€ shortcut, etc. Is this to do with the video editing?

This was a wonderfully tripped out version - sort of Sgt Pepper’s meets EJ.

Great job all round.

Thank you, Brother!
A full-blown positive review with no nits. Much appreciate you stopping by :grinning_face:

@Richtrfc Sure, I already said ta in person… or did I? :thinking: :laughing:
(btw. you said you’re not around tomorrow, didn’t you?)

Cheers, Stephen :grinning_face:
I always loved this song, but wasn’t quite sure if it was because it was a cracker, or because of childhood nostalgia (e.g. Far far Away by Slade or similar).
That’s high praise indeed, esp. from someone whose ā€˜strange’ high-end productions I remain in awe of. (Speaking of which, when’s your next offering?)
Moises is simply a website I subscribed to last year which allows you to (roughly) separate out the separate components of a track.
With these projects, I usually send out a ā€˜template’ to all the others to play their instruments over. I used to do this with my Trio+. Simple drum, bass, guitar & vox.
Then I’d mix whatever they sent me, removing the bits that I had sent out in the first place. Moises just means I don’t have to program the chord progressions and rhythm (or even play the guitar! :open_mouth:). So it’s all us, but to the template of the original, apart from the instrumental I added on.
I did learn a ton using my new video program DaVinci resolve though.
I screen-grabbed some concert footage and had to speed up/slow down the footage to try and synchronise with our playing. I thought the drums were the most successful :grinning_face:
Ta again

That sounds a useful tool. When we do covers I end up trying to breakdown a song bit by bit and it can get a bit muddled when there’s a lot going on.

We’ve got quite a few originals in the pipeline at various stages. Had another played on Introducing recently but I wasn’t too pleased with how it sounded - so reworking some guitar tones and the mix.
Will post something soon.

I just found this. Each of your guys did really good. You too. Your vocals were spot on! Well done, Lego Lads!!!
