Well, I heard an another version of this song with Mr Wright on leadvocals, far better mixed, but with the same voice. In my humble opinion, this shouldn't have been aired.
But on the other hand, I like this treatment too. It's some kind of Pink Floyd's Rick Wright goes "grunge" in a Kurt Cobain style.
Perhaps it's a good statement that Mr Gilmour doesn't want to re-start Pink Floyd. Gigs like these makes only one to believe our heroes are fading... Well, I am pretty sure the voice of Mr Wright could fit perfectly well for other songs.
Best regards
Peter

Well, I agree with your smiley!Massed Gadgets wrote:Yeah, the mix is bad, but I don't think it can totally excuse the performance. Rick's voice really does sound awful. Maybe his new solo album will be instrumental?
I think if they let Mr Wrights voice be drowned by more guitar and drums, perhaps it should sound more preferable. An old trick; if the leadvocalist can't sing, let the drums and bass be louder...

Yes, this is much true (I am tone-death but can hear it!), but I wonder if someone could explain why Mr Wright can't keep the note? Not recalling the vocals/melody in his mind? Toothache? Drunk? Or most thinkable of this shy man; nervous...?Slambient Expressway wrote:...and it's fairly obvious he can't hold any note for more than a second.
For myself, I would be happy to at all hit any proper note when I try to sing; one second for Mr Wright is far betten then me...
Best regards,
Peter

Actually Narek, this one was the best with David Bowie FTW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JyKZlAq0OsNarek wrote:The vocals in the video are pretty bad, but when they played Arnold Layne at the 4/20 gig, his vocals were perfect.
