zxcvbnm098 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Man, they sound great! James Poser is awesome on the organ.....he does wonderfully on the most iconic of organ parts IMHO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRMHIMvbLKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJUSCULE Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 James Poyser is amazing at everything he does. Also, who knew that Steve Miller was the lovechild of Russell Crowe and Steve Martin? Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outkaster Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Oh shit that was awesome. The Roots probably play it better than the Steve's backing band. That Hammond part isn't easy easy either.

mate stubb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That groove was noticeably more relaxed than the studio cut. Tasty! Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nightime Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I record, but normally don't watch Fallon. I record Seth Meyers, and it will start usually at the end of Fallon, so I can see who the musical guest is. So, I saw that Steve Miller was on, and watched the interview, and performance. Enjoyed it very much. A couple things I noticed. James usually plays a Nord as his Hammond clone, but he used a B3 for that performance. James was also given a lead during the song. Easily my favorite version of the song to date. Quote "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

MuzikTeechur Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Oh, Thank God; I clicked on this thinking it was going to be one of the Roots' performances with toy instruments. I was pleasantly disappointed. Quote Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

MathOfInsects Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It definitely grooves. I halfway watched for ideas on what to do for a solo in this tune, since I tend to go a little space-gospel on it and it feels clunky to me. But I have to be honest and say that Poyser's slightly proggy approach didn't really do much for me either. Overall, great groove and taste though. Quote Now out!

MAJUSCULE Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I thought the mix didn't really help during his solo. Could've used a little more tweaking IMHO. Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was awkward too. But again, as a band performance? Groovy. Quote Now out!

Outkaster Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 He might not known what to play? These guys have to learn a lot of music with little prep time I bet. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

mcgoo Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Wonderful groove- they totally got the vibe of the song. The thing that surprised me was the guy doing the synth runs on whatever that pad controller was. I would've enjoyed seeing someone really working a Minimoog.... although he probably would've needed a handful to cover the different sounds.

I wish I knew how the hell they did that? I wonder if they had the master and sampled it into..something? I know zip about controllers like that and how to do it, but it sounded great.

To me it looks like an Ableton Push controller or smth similar. I would imagine he's playing a soft synth via USB/MIDI with the controller, and the buttons are mapped kinda like the button side on the accordion. Quote It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.

EscapeRocks Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Oh shit that was awesome. The Roots probably play it better than the Steve's backing band. That Hammond part isn't easy easy either. Hmmmm.. Not so sure. The Roots did a great job (despite the horrible vocals mix). However, I've seen SMB twice in the last three years, and knock it outta the park on Fly Like an Eagle in terms of groove and jam. Joseph Wooten, Steve's keys player since 1993, absolutely tears it up on the solo Again, the Roots are a great band, especially their ability to learn all kinds of music quickly. I thought this performance good, but it seemed to lack something....and I don't know what it is. Anyway just my $.02 Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a lot more musical than people give them credit for. I don't think it was lacking anything. As I said there isn't a lot of prep time for these shows. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.
