Title: Show up last to your weekend dance & watch this Dance Dance Dance production vid Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on May 23, 2020, 09:45:41 PM https://youtu.be/iSIMPSEHxhU (https://youtu.be/iSIMPSEHxhU)
Play it cool when it's slow, but jump in when it's fast. This is a new production commentary and guitar/bass breakdown isolation playthrough for Dance Dance Dance. It continues on the path of Today LP track analysis I've been doing. Points of interest include: A cat Cool things the band does with the classic riff The novelty of the Beach Boys recording a basic track at RCA As always, I really hope you enjoy it!

I think they could have been a pretty compelling band pretty much by themselves with some support from a handful of session players to augment the sound. Dennis and Brian really lock in here.

This is one of those songs that you kind of forget about, but when you hear it you can't help but tap your toe and sing along (particularly the Brian wail and Mike's "daaaaance"). Any plan on doing analyses of the vocals in the future? (In general, not just this song) Title: Re: Show up last to your weekend dance & watch this Dance Dance Dance production vid Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on May 27, 2020, 08:52:13 AM I don't really plan to deal with vocals. Not that there's not plenty to say--I just feel like it's my mission to highlight the instruments, which have gotten much less attention over the decades.
Title: Re: Show up last to your weekend dance & watch this Dance Dance Dance production vid Post by: Rocker on May 27, 2020, 09:55:06 AM I wondered if there's a chance you would plan to take a look at the live performances of the band and how they tried to get the songs to sound on stage as much as possible as in the studio, or when they re-arranged a song to fit the live setting. Especially the years they had no or just one or two additional musicians. But I guess there's not too much to analyze, is there? As mentioned somewhere else, I'm really fascinated by their early live years (the "striped shirts" era).

Title: Re: Show up last to your weekend dance & watch this Dance Dance Dance production vid Post by: Don Malcolm on May 28, 2020, 09:44:54 PM Fine work as always, JH...it's always been one of my very favorite up-tempo tracks. And you're right in pointing out that the band had become pretty darned proficient by this point in time. Is this their first key change in the middle of a verse? Such a stroke of genius...it just lifts the energy that much higher!
