Someone posted a link to this on Facebook this morning. Decent quality recording but I'm sad to say (pardon the pun) that DC is absolutely atrocious on this. The worst I have ever heard. Sad.
He sounds pretty grim here. I fast forwarded it a few times hoping to hear something better, but to no avail. It is what it is.
I'm not sure what's worst. What RB is doing with Rainbow or DC with WS. Sad.
Clip says sound source is in ear monitor. So this crap is what the band is hearing on a nightly basis? Hope they're well paid.
Its been this way for a while, WS material is demanding vocally anyhow, no shame that he can’t do it anymore, he shouldn’t be touring at this point in my opinion.
Holy cow that's poor. Is Aldridge drumming or re-arranging heavy furntiure?
The thing is, this is an unmixed soundboard of a 65 year old at the end of another "ball buster" tour. The voice is what it is, we all know that. Why he continues to plough this particular furrow is down to him and the people who still go and see him, but like most around here I would welcome a change and a new direction, especially with the band being 40 next year. I believe when it comes to performing this material in this way he is a spent force but I also believe there is still something there on another level. The drumming and backing vocals don't sound too clever here either.
Now, I wonder how many other rock singers in their 60's would sound like this at the end of a tour (excluding Glenn of course who seems to come from another planet altogether)?
