I have a short story for all of you. Last weekend I was performing at a
talent show at my college for Parents Weekend. Myself and three others did
Love is Blindness. One person played acoustic guitar, one played the
bongo's, another one sang and I played the electric. Going into this
venture, I was unsure how it would sound stripped down like that,
especially without the heavy bass that usually is in the song live.
Surprisingly enough, I just watched the video of the performance and it
sounded good. It is a fairly simple song to play, you just need some
reverb and maybe a little echo if you want on the guitar; some slight
distortion (very slight) for the solo. The funny part of the performance
was when Chris, who was singing, cut off my solo right before the really
high part. He completely forgot I wasn't done and just started singing. I
had to laugh while trying to find my place and thinking back on it now,
that is pretty much how the edge must feel every time Bono screws up the
lyrics and jumps in at the wrong spot or forgets them.
Sort of an irrelevent story, but at least it has some U2 content.
Oh, yeah, GH album + B-sides is great, but what is up with the numbering.
Where is it, or does it exist?
