c'était quoi ce groupe de ouf?

Vendredi 10 février, environ 22h45, Turin, Cérémonie d'ouverture des JO.

On reconnaît Peter Gabriel chantant Imagine, mais à côté, cétéki?

Premio, c'était pas Manu à la batterie (mais Djède),
Secondeuxio c'était Rhodes (le gratteux, pas le clavier...) à la basse...

Mais oukilélemoustachu?

explication:

Tony Levin a écrit:

No, no, it wasn't me in Torino.
I've had lots of letters about Peter at the Olympics - the explanation could be short, or medium, or I think I could write a mini-novel about it!

I'll go for the medium length cause it's kind of funny and you'll enjoy it.

Peter Gabriel's engineer contacted me about a week and a half ago, about doing a bass part for Peter. Great, of course - maybe for the new album, I thought. But they needed it really quickly, so I did it from home, by ftp, (which is the way I play on a lot of projects nowadays.)
Then, only a week ago Friday, I was asked if I could come to Italy to play a show with Peter. Not realizing what that show was, I sadly declined, because I had a record session (a great one, with Paula Cole, booked on Friday the 10th.) Imagine my surprise, coming home from New York on Friday night, to hear from friends (who saw the opening ceremony on Canada tv earlier than it was aired here in the U.S) that the "show" of Peter's was performing Imagine for about the biggest tv audience conceivable!
E-mails started coming in about 3 minutes after it aired, asking whether it was me, and if not, why!
Alas, it's typical of me that I hadn't asked what the show would be, and typical of Peter that he hadn't mentioned it. But, oh, the photos I'd have up on the site for you if I'd been there! Not to mention the fun of being back in Italy.
It did seem to me (as people pointed out on the Guestbook page) that it was David Rhodes playing an NS Upright bass (which I'd done the track on.) And it sounded like that part of the track was indeed my playing - hard to be sure from a tv set. I'll surely ask David when I see him - I'm sure there'll be great stories from the event, not the least of it his feelings about being setup as a moustache-less Tony!
And, in the big picture, I'm very happy to be a part of Paula's new recording - so I've got no complaints.

:DD :DD :DD :DD mort de rire quoi...

On l'a tous appris au dernier moment, soit dans la journée de vendredi...

Mââme la Baronne, Reine de l'avatar qui tue sa mémée !!!

Tonton NiKo

Bon, j'viens d'visionner l'affaire ...

On a vu mieux hein !!!

Alors ch'sais pas si c'est mécolle qui vieillit, et dans ce cas, pas bien, mais la bande son m'aurait suffit, avec juste Peter au piano. Et encore, j'ai moyennement apprécié ces changements de tonalités.

C'est vrai que quand tu commences à apercevoir le pied d'la basse, tu t'attends terriblement au moustachu, et ben non, l'a aut'chose à foutr' eu'l'moustachu, dans l'genre sérieux quoi ...

Et t'as vu Pluto à la batterie !!! L'pôv gars ... L'avait foid à ses 'tites noreilles ! En tout cas, hiver ou pas hiver, il a toujours ses moufles hein !

Bon, concrêtement, j'm'en s'rais bien passé et c'est ça qu'est dommage ...

Tonton NiKo Kédéçu

chuis d'accord, c'eût pû être mieux, mais le Gab' chantant imagine devant 2 milliards de gens, ça mérite un p'tit coup de chapeau... :32:

C'est vrai, l'idée est bonne et les chapeaux, les ont pas loupés ...
