help a guy out...
Dale:
During the "pre-solo" section, (1:20 into the song) I threw in the "I Love You #19" lick.
Subtle, I know, but I wanted to throw in the first guitar lick I ever learned 'cause it was very significant in my musical upbringing...
P.S. Thanks to everyone for their kind replies!

| Thread: $152.50 |

I just viewed the Imaginarium listing on ebay, and I think I know why it went for $152.
Look at the "2 CD" logo on the spine... see? The CD artwork was obviously printed UPSIDE DOWN! A one-of-a-kind mistake that surely sent the price skyrocketing like a Babe Ruth rookie card...

| Thread: Whats your favorite DA concert experience? |
|
|
Without a doubt it was the 1984 tour, between Doppelganger and Vox Humana. I'm not sure how we persuaded our youth minister to book them, but DA came to my home church in Lexington, Kentucky (perhaps it was our band's constant insistance and relentless evangelizing of Horrendous/Alarma/Doppelganger.) As cool as the records were, they didn't prepare us for "The Living Room" tour.
It combined elements of the Doppelganger stage/theme with Vox Humana's Simmons (electronic) drum kit and synthy textures. The band wearing those eerie translucent masks with built-in mouth lights to open the show... Mannequins wrapped in day-glo yarn, blacklights, 3-D rear screen projection, a "cage" of lights around Terry during "Sanctuary..." Remember, kids, there was NOTHING like this in 80s Christian concerts. Most CCM bands' idea of stage production was a fog machine.
The band kicked off with "Travelogue" and never slowed down (except for a cover of "Misty" in the middle of "I Didn't Build It For Me." Crowd participation, hysterical antics & costumes, a conga line during "Dance Stop..."
By far the most moving element, though, was the use of Disney's Pinnochio as a metaphor for "becoming real" in Christ. At first, we weren't quite sure why those audio clips were playing between the songs. But by the time they played "The Double" we were all getting it. So when the last song ended, the stage went dark and "When You Wish Upon A Star" played over the P.A., I got goosebumps (still do to this day.) I decided that night that "becoming real" was what I wanted.
I've seen DA and the Eddies a few times since then, but nothing floored me like that concert. Tons more money is spent on stage production these days, but nobody ever spent more thought on how it can support a message like that.

Hi, everyone:
Sorry I spaced and forgot to put a direct link on this board. The show is still up on our site - it's in the Entree section instead of the main page now:
http://www.supwithjesus.com/episode9.mp3
I'm glad to hear the positive comments about Sup With Jesus... it was definitely our first "celebrity" show. Also sorry I haven't visited the DA board for a while, but I'll try to drop back by. That's probably where you've run across my name before. And I did a track for "When Worlds Collide" that didn't make the final cut...
Huge fan since 83 when I insisted that my friend teach me a guitar lick ("I Love You #19") I've been recording and producing audio for about 15 years, but my proudest and most ironic moment was when CCM favorably reviewed my indie release "Non Prophet."
The irony? The review was written by Jerry Chamberlain... the same man (and now friend) who wrote that first guitar lick.
Anyway, I hope the Terry interview is easier to find now.
Blessings,
Steve Broderson

| Thread: Jerry Chamberlain on ELO tribute |

This is probably old news to everyone, but did you know that Jerry and Sharon Chamberlain have a cut on a new Jeff Lynne (of ELO) tribute CD? They did a great cover of "Message From The Country" under the name "Balls of France."
Check out a clip at www.notlame.com
It's great to hear Jerry's guitar tone again!!

, It was a DIY project, except for a female singer whose name escapes me. Listen for the hidden "2nd tribute" to another great D.A. song.
