Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. You know I did a version of this song
from an artist named Lionel Richie who apparently is I think one of the
greatest if not the greatest selling artists of all time and it's kind of
funny because sometimes these artists sort of just slip through the cracks and
everybody just forgets about them but I did the song "All Night Long", I'll put it
in the description tag so you can hear how I did compared to his version. We
obviously have a live version, I've not seen this but let's just go ahead and
play it and of course you've heard his daughter with the scandal with Paris
Hilton and all that stuff but anyway so but let's do the song and let's rock.
Here we go.
That's weird because this is not "All Night Long" this is pretty fast.
Nice drumming.
It's a pretty cool way to make an intro you just get the drummer to play a drum
solo and then you kind of slowly saunter in right.
Great energy, huge, huge audience.
By the way this is not "All Night Long" folks but some some good drumming.
Like I said I haven't seen this before yet okay so it's like battle of the drums and
percussionist or something okay but I want to get to this song soon so here we go.
Here we go this is the song alright that's a pretty cool way to bring in a
song especially Caribbean sort of influence, flavored song it that you
start with a drum solo instead the drum solo at the end wait I got a really
funny joke for you guys while we're at the drum solo.
So these missionaries they're in an airplane and they're flying over the
jungles in Africa and all of a sudden they're starting to have engine trouble right
and so the plane goes down and their guide says you know do you hear the
drums and and they're way off in the distance and he gets out his machete and
they're chomping through the forest and the jungle excuse me out the forest and
as they're going through it you know the guide says we must go towards the drums
and two days later and three days later finally one guy said the drums get
louder and louder and louder and one guy says you know oh I wish those drums
would stop and the guide says no then bass solo. Anyway alright if you
haven't heard that one before I'm not gonna charge you for it, here we go.
Pretty cool. Again you have one guy walking around that whole arena you know
with that many people just blowing people's minds. I'm kind of wondering why
everyone's in red, it's kind of interesting um that's a pretty
noticeable thing there. So alright let's continue here we go. Oh my friend
of mine Sydney Davis is a background vocalist for him and she I guess you
know sang for the Rolling Stones and some other stuff like that but let's
rock here we go.
What a band.
What a stage.
He hasn't missed a note man he's just as good as he was way back when he recorded this
a long time ago.
Come on, makes you wanna dance.
Look at that audience man, sheesh.
Again another guy with a lot of charisma and I guess if you sell that many
records you can walk out and say and do whatever you want pretty much but that
audience is gargantuan. The stage is killer and he's just got a lot of the
guys not lost a lick and you know kind of reminds me of a long time ago um I
remember my parents liked Harry Belafonte and so way back in the early
70s you know they'd play all the Harry Belafonte songs and then I saw him like
gosh and I would say they're early 80s, 82 something like that and he
was as good as ever I mean crazy good and this guy is no exception that's for
sure, here we go.
Nice strings.
Just puts a smile on your face you know.
That was interesting, that bass player he played left-handed bass but he didn't
change the strings he just flipped the bass over and played it upside down so
that's kind of interesting I've seen other guitar players do that where
they're not playing a left-handed bass they just take the bass or guitar and
they turn it upside down so instead of having a low E on the bottom here the
low E's down here and he's kind of you know flapping on it down here his
thumb down here so that was interesting.
It's one big party man.
Love those horns, reminds me of Tower of Power.
Go, go dude.
Dance like Beyonce.
We wish be could, come on dude give us a break, not everyone could dance like Beyonce.
