Creative ways to keep your live music memories alive

0

Music can be the subject of many great memories. Whether you are creating music yourself, or attending a concert by your favourite artist, these memories can be magical. So, how can you make sure that you keep these memories alive?

Of course, one option is to talk about the concerts you attend, or the music you make, with the people who have joined in the experience with you. Here are some more options that can provide you with inspiration.

Video your music performances

Creating music is a fun and exciting experience. This is why it’s such a good idea to capture your performances on video. It’s easy to do this now as you can simply use the video facility on your smartphone. You may also want to convert film of earlier performances by you, or other members of the family, by getting expert help to transfer super 8 to DVD. You can store these videos online or on DVD and take a look at them whenever you want to.

Make a road trip video

Taking videos and photographs while you are at a concert is often not an option if there are restrictions in place. It’s also often better to simply relax and enjoy the experience rather than be more concerned with capturing it. However, this does not mean that you should miss out on capturing your concert going on video. Why not take a full video of you and your friends on the way to the concert and after the concert has ended.

Create a memory box for each concert you attend

You can create a memory box for many different reasons. One of these reasons can be to store your memories of a concert, or other music event, that you attended. You simply need to find a box that you can use and mark it with the name and date of the concert or event that you are commemorating. Then you need to fill it with all of your memorabilia from the concert including ticket stubs and programs.

If you are short of space in your home, why not think about capturing images of the items with your smartphone and creating virtual memory boxes on your social media accounts.

Join an online forum or fan page

One of the best ways to keep memories alive is to share them with other people. You can do this by joining online forums or fan pages for artists whose concerts you attend. Once you have done this you can take part in discussions about those concerts and share your memories with others who were there.

Keeping music memories alive is important as it helps you to relive all the fun and excitement you felt on the day. This applies whether you are remembering the music you created yourself or the great concerts that you have been to. The tips that are mentioned in this article help you keep those memories alive by retaining items from concerts, capturing your musical performances on video or sharing your experiences with others.

To achieve the best results, you must apply the shampoo to your scalp, which covers the first 1.5 inches of the hair. Make sure that it’s close to your scalp since the drug tests will test the hair that is close to the scalp.

Previously unreleased Freddie Mercury song and video “Time Waits For No One” is as great as you hoped it would be

0

Time Waits For No One” shows Freddie Mercury at his most compelling; a completely stripped-down performance, accompanied by just a piano, showcasing one of music’s most beloved and show-stopping voices.

For the first time ever, after four decades buried deep in the vaults, this previously unreleased version, originally recorded in 1986 by Freddie Mercury for the concept album of the hit musical Time, has finally emerged after two years of work by the globally successful musician, songwriter and producer Dave Clark, a long-time friend of Freddie’s, using the song’s full title, “Time Waits For No One”.

The song was recorded in January of 1986 at Abbey Road Studios. Starting off as a rhythm track, the session recorded 48 tracks of backing vocals (Freddie plus John Christie and Peter Straker), 2 x 24 track tapes locked together – which had never been done before for that amount of backing vocals at Abbey Road – and the final version of “Time” comprising of a huge production of 96 tracks.

Dave Clark had always remembered that performance of Freddie Mercury at Abbey Road Studios from 1986. The original had sold millions, and in his own words “worked”. But the feeling he had during the original rehearsal, experiencing “goosebumps”, hadn’t dissipated over the decades, and he wanted to hear this original recording – just Freddie on vocals and Mike Moran on piano. After much searching through the vaults to find the version without all the backing vocals, he finally retrieved it from his tape archive in the spring of 2018.

Bringing in original keyboardist Mike Moran to record a new piano track, restoring the huge potential of this historical performance at the latter’s studio in Buckinghamshire, Dave, firmly believing “the impossible was possible”, eventually produced the performance he had longed to revive – stripping back the 96 track version to a version with just one: Freddie Mercury.

The video for the song was filmed in three hours at the Dominion Theatre and was quickly wrapped to allow the musical to prepare for that evening’s performance – it had opened earlier that month with Freddie attending opening night. Worried about capturing the full performance, it was a 4 camera shoot, which was cut together quickly in order to turn it around for that week’s broadcast of the UK’s hit music TV programme Top of the Pops. Going straight to video, not the original 35mm film it was shot in, the song was released on May 6, 1986 and the original footage was consigned to the vaults.

Dave used the negatives from the 4 camera shoot and the unprocessed film to create the video for “Time Waits For No One”. A four-day lockdown in a special facility to pore through the negatives with his editor led to the discovery and production of this visual masterpiece, a perfect representation of Freddie’s “magic performance…he tasted every word”.

Louis Armstrong and Pia Zadora in the Susie Cute Toy Doll commercial from 1964

This is a commercial that Louie Armstrong did in the fall of 1964, on the heels of his successful recording of “Hello Dolly”. Someone at DeLuxe-Reading, Topper Toys’ parent company, was inspired enough to say, “Why don’t we get him to do a commercial for us?”.

The girls in this commercial were professional actresses, and that’s Pia Zadora saying “Suzi wets.”
