Quad Jam Session - sound recordings

What's Hot
TTonyTTony Frets: 27346
Some people - with really good memories - may remember that about 30 of us got together in a rehearsal studio in Leicester for a day of jamming, talking gear, and generally having a good time.

It was, admittedly, ages ago.

The event was recorded, and the recordings have been circulating on the bootleg network for a while now, with early generation copies changing hands for mad sums of money.

Now that I've made all the money, I thought I'd release them here too.

Keep in mind that the line-up for each song changed, although the drummer (Octatonic) and keyboardist (Horse) were unchanged throughout and BigJon vocalised on many, and there were no rehearsals prior to turning up at the venue and pressing "record".  There were also a fair few last-minute stand ins for people who were scheduled to play something but couldn't make it on the day.

With that caveat in mind ... this is what happened on the day.
:)

There should be video to follow in a few days.

    I kept this all to itself.

    This was the last track of the day.  Some people had been playing for 3-4 hours by this point, which is a fairly long set in anyone's language.  We'd all been there on site for 5-6 hours.

    I don't remember the actual line-up for this, but there must have been 6 or 7 different parts being played.  And I'll repeat, no prior rehearsal as a group.

    Makes you think that it can't be that hard, right?

    I think that everyone who made it to the session had a good time.

    Huge thanks to everyone who got up and played something and allowed me to share the evidence here.
    :D

    Even more huge thanks to Octatonic, who sat on the drum stool for hours and hours on the day, and to @Horse for keying the boards on just about every song too.

    But an even huge-r thanks to @bridgehouse whose admin and organising efforts made it all happen incredibly smoothly on the day.

    Right, next one ...

    @mrkb -

    Why do you think it's taken me so long to get these recordings ready for release???
    ;)

    But that's another good point.  There's been no "processing" of any of these tracks.  It's all as recorded on the day with no enhancements or Live & Dangerous-ing.

    Download should be enabled now.

    Cheers for download option - its been very useful to listen back to these, and was a great learning experience.

    Next time I need to work on bending to pitch, and needs more distortion and a univibe!

    @Alnico - see, this is what you missed. No skipping off next time, alright? ;)

    Everyone played really well on the day - the atmosphere was fab, even if it was quite a lot to squeeze into the time. Some of the individual performances were exceptional - here's looking at you @impmann (Mr "I don't really know it but I'll step in and have a go....oh look I nailed it") and @bigjon for having stamina like I've not seen for a long time..

    Even @Legionreturns was good. Can't believe I just said that...

    That’s only because I took over his singing part - can’t believe he’s was going to try to play and sing at the same time!

    Though I think he was singing on the second run though of Hard to Handle and that sounds good.

    Shush. Don't tell him he has a good voice, he will get all big headed about it!

    Nah, it was all being pitch corrected by that vocal processor he uses! Only a real Diva brings their own vocal effects to a jam session ;-)

    A great day! Yes, genuinely, I didn’t know one of the tracks I played on - and some of the others I hadn’t played since the 1990s, hence one or two jazz notes.
    The Pretty Vacant car crash still makes me laugh (as I know it does Colin) as I definitely had a ‘senior moment ‘ there...

  • It was a cracking day, I had a shed load of fun and learnt a lot despite having driven for 3 days to get there!
