Piktor Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Those drawbar settings a perfect for the genre. This is good footage and I appreciate the share. However, the last time that I was in this situation, I had to pull every drawbar out completely and play in the top octave and a half just to be barely heard. I can appreciate the balls-to-the-wall energy, but everyone and everything on ten at all times? No thanks. https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/3098553/solo-volume-in-loud-bands#Post3098553 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Have to correct you, my friend... It's: "Everyone and everything on ELEVEN at all times..." You can't heard the Leslies at "10".

Piktor Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Four or five years ago. It was a house type concert in a studio. I was asked to use the studio's well maintained B3 and 122. As this was the host's studio (a nice acoustic space) and B3 and this but one of a series of concerts that he had hosted for a somewhat more mature crowd, he thought that the rig would cut it without any mics. Foolishly, I trusted that he knew the band and the room. We/He had not accountrd for the fact that (a) our guitar player had not managed to attend soundcheck and (b) someone had invited a guest second guitar player. Unsurprisingly, guitar volume wars ensued. Admittedly, some of the group's members are older, had grown up playing loud on stage and had grown a bit less dynamically sensitive as their hearing fades. Of course it's to play anything dynamically when you have all drawbars out, volume pedal right to the floor and nothing in the lower range audible. If I was not playing solos, I MIGHT have endured being little more than a prop. Struggling to hear the organist in the Seger video reminded me of that more recent event and a number of 1970s gigs.

Unsurprisingly, guitar volume wars ensued. Don't get me started about multiple guitar players. Thank God in my last band I was blessed with two guitarists who understand stage dynamics and LISTEN to the whole band when performing.

mate stubb Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Silly drumset is silly. I opened for Bob at a show in late 72 / early 73. Silly drums were gone. I think the band was mostly Tulsa boys - no bass player. I used to know the organ players name, but forget now. He kicked bass thru a big Acoustic bass amp. They rocked!

His organ solo on cut #3 "If I Were a Carpenter" is one of my all time favorites.

Piktor Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yes, what bennyray said! HammondDave, thank you for the second share. What a contrast in performance from your first post. I remember seeing the Smoking OP"s album on record store shelves, but I had not heard it before. I listened to more than the track that you recommended. For me, it has the same intensity as the live performance video, but with the added feature of dynamics and balance. This is the kind of stuff that I first heard from bands like Barry Allen and the Cheyenne Winter and Painter when I was in junior high. Rocking, old school R and B influence, Hammond in the mix, soulful singing⦠It doesn"t sound like they fussed over every note choice or timing issue, but given the overall effect of the sound, they didn"t need to. Thanks for reminding me of a sound that first made me think about taking on this music thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammondDave Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yes, what bennyray said! HammondDave, thank you for the second share. When this album came out I made sure my band covered several of these tunes with these arrangements. We played 'Bo Diddly', 'Love the One You"re With' and 'If I were a Carpenter'. I learned so much by learning and playing Skip"s solo on that song. Fast forward 30 years and my rock cover band performing at The Taste of Newport. A cool looking dude is standing off stage right staring at me. As I left the stage he says 'real nice hammond playing', and introduced himself as Skip Knape. Well, we must have talked for 30 minutes until his band went on. I asked him how he came up with such a simple but amazingly musical solo. And he said: 'I don"t know⦠I just played what I felt.' Perfect!

bennyray Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Great to hear u playing music that you love HAMMONDDAVE great story about dude saying playing solo was playing from his own instincts which imo just has more feeling and just seems natural of course u already know this. BTW I love Craig Frost on the organ when he was with SEGER as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am younger than the bands that I cited, but I did spend a couple decades playing with a legacy blues band that formed in 1970 (last gig 2017), so I have tried to glean a bit of history from the older guys over the years. My predecessor was one of the Hammond players whose playing helped me form a concept of what assertive and supportive roles the instrument can take in a rockin" band. The player in Seger"s band reminded me of that sort of approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
