An interesting version of the video for Space Oddity by David Bowie from 1969. Facebook reminded me today that I had posted it there 5 years ago today.

Let it be….naked
The Let it be… naked album
The other day the album ”Let it be… Naked” was rereleased at iTunes. The new release is Digitally Remastered in 2013. It is supposed to be like the Beatles themselves intended the album ”Let it be” to be from the beginning. A kind of a live performance with the Beatles. With no added studio effects or added vocals etc. Just the naked sound of the Beatles playing their songs.
I bought the album years back when it was released on CD. But being a Beatles fanatic, as I have been since the 70s, I was curious to hear it Digitally remastered. Just like I have had the opportunity to hear the other Beatles albums re-mastered before. So of course I bought it right away, synced it to my iPhone, put on my headphones, and pressed play. “Jojo was a man…”
To me it was amazing. Some of the songs have such great and clean sound that it is like sitting there with the lads in the studio. Like being a fly on the wall as they were recording. Even though I have heard the songs a million times, it was almost as hearing them for the first time again. Every instrument could be clearly heard separated from the other instruments and vocals. Still it all fits together well and sounds beautiful.
So also with the vocals. The have a very intimate and beautiful sound. Overall I am amazed at how good the band was performing live at this point in time. I will surely listen many times on this album. And it inspires me to pick up my own guitar and play…
Tried out Logic Pro some more today
Tried out my new Logic Pro a bit today. Since I am a bit lazy, I took a song that I have recorded earlier and added some guitar tracks with my Gretsch White Falcon. Earlier versions of the song (published under Songs at my site as “Fragments of Kathy’s song“) just featured my Ibanez acoustic guitar.

Bryan Adams at Konserthuset, Stockholm
The other night I went to see Bryan Adams at Konserthuset in Stockholm. It was from his Bare Bones tour, where he’s mostly alone on stage with just an acoustic guitar. On some of the songs he is joined by a guy that plays the piano.
Bryan delivered a fantastic performance in my opinion. With just his guitar and voice he made it a magic evening. A lot of songs that I remember from the 80’s brought a feeling of nostalgia. I thought it was a great concert!
