Awake and Dreaming - Finger Eleven (cover)

[IIParataxisII]

Good job on the covers. I play it in standard and it sounds fine but having the original tuning really brings out the body/depth in the songs.

[colindavis01]

Yeah, it sounds good in standard too. If you're playing with the cd though, it wouldn't, of course.

[rileylendrum]

What tuning are you playing it in? From what I can see, its in a drop-tuning. Drop D or lower? Usually I try to avoid drop tuning (as it seems like cheating to me) but I think the old finger eleven may be an exception.

Good playing.

[colindavis01]

Almost all of Finger Eleven's first three albums were in the same tuning: drop d - then a half step down.

This song is standard tuning but half a step down, but I played it dropped, just because it was easier.

I've seen them 12 times live and they've only performed this song once. Quite possibly my favorite song of theirs. Nice job, Colin. I thoroughly enjoy your covers of Finger Eleven.

[colindavis01]

Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed them.

Consolation Day... that's the original title.

[colindavis01]

Indeed it is.

[dreyersg]

the title of this tune was never consolation day

[LeGIoN8787]

dude... i have their cd (tip) before it got re-released... trust me... it was originally consolation day.

[colindavis01]

It was called consolation day on its original Canadian release, if I'm not mistaken, and I think I'm not.

[LeGIoN8787]

You are correct sir... and that was probably a couple of years before they re-released it. I saw them open for Age of Electric and Our Lady Peace (when they were good) and Finger Eleven was the best act for sure.
