Something in the air.......

Last night at my rehearsal room whilst we were waiting for our drummer to arrive, we set the drum machine off and proceeded to have a bash at Tom Petty's version of Something In The Air.
Recorded on a mobile phone which was propped up against a coffee cup, this is the result.
We'd never played this before and despite the fact that the key needs to come down as it is far too high for my vocal range, some bum notes, the phone falling over half way through and me forgetting some of the words, I think this is OK.
For some reason I couldn't get the proper youtube link to load on here so here is the web address...

Very cool Rob...Given the circumstances, I think it turned out pretty well!

Thanks John.
The vocals are painful, but it has a certain 'charm' about it, especially when Gary our guitarist had to stop playing to prop the phone up again.....

That has definite possibilities for your band, Rob. I hope you'll add it to the play list.

Nice, Rob.... It turned out pretty well, all things considered.... and the Ric sounds great. Your vocals are better than you give yourself credit for.

I loiked it...........I'll give it foive.

You had to be there in the 60's to know what that means. But seriously Rob. You did a great job and I agree that key is yours............just remember to breath in and sing from your chest and don't constrict your throat when you sing and all those notes will ring out loud a clear and you won't have any minor pitch problems such as you encountered.
Great tone from the guitars btw. Just super.
