I'm just in awe of Edgar Winter's work with the All-Starr band. He played sax on "Picking Up The Pieces" as if he had played on the original record, and does the same here, recreating Gary Wright's original keyboard arrangement. Not to mention his virtuoso performance with Rick Derringer on his own hit "Frankenstein."
@joevanseeters28735 жыл бұрын
Over 40+ years since the release of "The Dream Weaver" and Gary still sounds absolutely incredible. Gary was a pioneer in the use of the synthesizer in mainstream music as the synthesizer was a fairly new and emerging technology. Alan Parsons was also a pioneer in the use of synthesizers in music, most notably on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon as well as his own incredible success with The Alan Parsons Project teaming Alan's incredible ability with arranging music using synth's and various sounds and tones along with Eric Woolfson's incredible vocal talents. Many musicians unfortunately lose the voice they had when they were young and when they sing later in life....well....you NOTICE the difference. Gary has definitely retained his singing voice for sure as evidenced by this more modern rendition (10 years ago) of The Dream Weaver. In fact, all of the musicians Ringo has in his All Star Band this session have retained their voices. Ringo himself, Colin Hay, Edgar Winter, Billy Squire, and the rest all have aged gracefully and can still perform as good or better than they did back when they were young. Great job all.

I remember being 12 years old, roller skating, but actually my fondest memory was of the girl I was kissing for the first time. It was a Friday that ended on Saturday at midnight, and I was lucky enough to spend the night with her. Both of us knowing little of what we were doing, but the magic. I remember my mom's boyfriend taking me to the Ghost story movie, but I was exausted at 1pm on Saturday, because I was up intil 8 am or so. I was tormented by this feeling for this girl for an entire week.
