Gregg doesn't appear to be inspiring the band much here. Pretty lethargic and labored vocal imo. I'm a fan but Gregg has lost so much to time. That is Mark Q slapping those drums isn't it?
I think Gregg's voice sounds great in this, but obviously I'm a bit prejudiced, I posted it. Try and remember when making judgments about Gregg's voice, this was shot with a little Canon point and shoot, and I was quite a way back from the stage. So don't consider this an accurate assessment of his voice. That said, as mentioned, I think Gregg sounds great in this, but to each their own.
I think it's great to see new video all the time but it's like all the greats who have gotten old. You have to appreciate what they have left to offer. An old worn out singer like Gregg is better than nothing at all. If Gregg didn't have a great guitar player like Scott Sharrard, and if he had a weak band Gregg's role in it would be all the more telling. It's just that Gregg's labored vocal slows down the regular tempo of the song and ultimately the band. I couldn't wait for the vocal to be finished and for the guitar solo to start. Old singers get out of breath. The truth is that as we age our lung capacity drops dramatically. I read this in an article. It's not Gregg's fault, he's just a normal man who has lost lung capacity as he aged. We have to appreciate guys like Gregg in the context of their great careers in music. So, thanks for the video. I just think it's sad to see the great ones losing so much. One exception to such a rule might be a guy like Paul Rodgers, who has kept so much of his vocal skills over the years. I think he is finally losing a lot of his range but it took being over 60 to slow him down. Thanks again.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However I've sent this out to 50 people, friends and family, and you're the first one to be that critical. All of the ones who bothered to comment thought it was great, and so do I.
One of the best!❤
So glad you enjoyed it and I feel fortunate to have captured such a fine version of this tune
