With a healthy serving of thought provoking Elvis and dollops of juicy pop culture this is a flavorsome interview which will satisfy the tastes of many fans and stimulate one's thought processes. ( Interview, Source: EIN) One afternoon Elvis decided to stop by the office outside in the back of Graceland to visit for a few minutes and say hello. When we left he grabbed a stack of the fan mail that poured in every day, just before we headed upstairs to his special dressing room down the hall from his bedroom. I began brushing Elvis’ hair as he read a few letters. As he was reading one particular note from a fan, he shook his head from side to side, “ No, this girl has it all wrong.” A self-deprecating look stole across his face. “ I’ve heard all this before, but I wasn’t the one who invented Rock ‘n Roll. No way, no way!” “ Larry,” Elvis began passionately, “let me tell you the real truth that most people have no idea about; how the whole thing really happened.” Elvis was silent for a moment, as his mind wandered back over the years. He stared into the distance and beganto point with his index finger, indicating the stretch of time. “ It all began not too far from where we are right now, in the heart of the deep ol’ South. Man, back in those days the poor ol’ colored slaves were forced to work their asses off. They had to, or they’d be whipped, tortured or even killed by the sons of bitches in charge. Those slaves really knew what pain and suffering was, more than most people can ever imagine. From the time the sun came up til it went down, they worked in the fields picking cotton, or whatever else they had to do. It broke their damn backs and bodies, bending down and working all day long in the hot blistering sun. But it didn’t break their spirit.” I was soaking in every word Elvis spoke, his entire body reflecting the deep, overwhelming emotions he was experiencing.
This March marks the 40th anniversary for Dark Side of the Moon. The album took Pink Floyd into super stardom over night and they soon had to learn how to cope with the very issues they were dealing with in the album’s lyrics. More importantly, Dark Side of the Moon also sees David Gilmour growing tremendously as a guitarist, finding his place within the band and establishing himself as a vital creative force. In this feature we’ll look at some of the history of the album and how you can recreate David’s album and live tones. Dark Side of the Moon was released on March 24th 1973. The album ranks as the third best selling of all time with over 50 million copies sold and nearly 800 weeks on the UK charts (including reissues). By the early mid 70s, Pink Floyd had already established themselves as a super group in Europe and UK but although they’d toured the States many times, they never really breaked there. That changed when Money was released and the single exploded on American radio. The album skyrocketed and Floyd toured all the large halls and stadiums with a tour that never seemed to end. David and his Black Strat 1972. The second mic (not in use) was lined to a Leslie cabinet and David would sing along with his guitar playing during Any Coliur You Like. Eclipse 1972 Dark Side of the Moon was premiered in January 1972. Over a year prior to its release. The suite Eclipse was written over a two weeks period during christmas 1971-72 and worked out and re-arranged during a long world tour in 1972. Listening to the early shows in the UK and the late shows from the tour in Asia, it’s evident that they spent a lot of time rehearsing and fine tuning the songs. On the Run, Time and Great Gig in the Sky in particular went through several changes but it wasn’t until the album was finished and mixed that the songs saw the arrangements that we’re celebrating today.
