I'd like to add this one back into the set list for the next few gigs. So maybe we could brush up on this one on the seventeenth.
Thinking about how we used to play it, seemed like the dynamics were a bit lossed at times. We seemed to always be bashing it out a on the loud side which left the feel of the song quite flat. I think a softer more delicate approach would serve the song better.
Anyways... Whatcha think?

I think what happened was initially Jeff was doing keys and then switched to guitar and we never finished the transition. Any thoughts on which way it would be best? There's a lot of sustained strings in it. I'll need to start over on Bass since that's a messed up line and I never played it enough to stick the first time around, but I'm cool with that - it was a neat part.

I'm definitely down for this; I actually had a very similar thought Pat. I would love to get this sounding as good as we can.

I don't think we need the strings necessarily. The main thing that I would like to improve on is the dynamics. We always just bashed through it kind of loud like, a little too rocked up. I think it needs to be played quite a bit softer, more subtle. I think it would serve the song better.

I wouldn't mind doing "Heroes"...
Or any other Bowie really.
Suggestions?
