nationaglampoon and other keyboardists: Watching the rehearsal videos I was not sure that the keyboard player was actually playing or just miming it. It didn't look right, and I couldn't hear distinctly what I saw him playing. It doesn't really matter, but I just hate "fake" performances of any sort. I understand that when Adam is appearing without his regular musicians it would be too labor intensive and time consuming to actually school another group of musicians to play the numbers to Adam's exacting standards. Yes, it could definitely be done by talented session musicians, but it would require rehearsals, not just a sound check. And, knowing Adam, probably hours of rehearsals to get the sound just right. Using a backing track just makes more sense in the circumstances.
I also understand why Adam's vocals would also be on the backing track. If Adam wants to riff anything he needs the melody that everyone knows from the recording to still be sustained, and, again, having the "live" backing singers uphold that would take much rehearsal. We know how long it took the VJJs to gel into a good sounding backing team. I accept the necessity of using pre-recorded tracks. Adam still sings live, loud and proud. I just don't like anything faked. Just me. Carry on.

Carry on. , I have to say that I had exactly the same impression (from looking at the key board playing moments), i.e. the band did not really play and Adam was singing to a full backing track, including the instrumental part. |

Carry on. , I have to say that I had exactly the same impression (from looking at the key board playing moments), i.e. the band did not really play and Adam was singing to a full backing track, including the instrumental part. From what I recall the GNT tour had tons of backing tracks. I agree that the keyboardist's mike was probably turned off, I'm not sure that the backup singers were, and to me the drummer looked good. Not only did he have the WAG t-shirt on he also had the handclaps to Trespassing down pat. For me the band was part of the visual, it's how Adam usually performs, ie with a band, and so it went along with his 'brand'. I did miss the dancers, especially since it looked like a mix of men and women but he's a good judge and for whatever reason that didn't meet his needs but the band did. |
