Black Dub w/ Daniel Lanois: The Birth of Bellavista Nights

[Diresoup]

6 dislikes? 6 people without soul!

Pure emotion is dripping from that guitar, mind numbing satisfaction!

[59griso]

Daniel Lanois is also a long time friend of Brian Eno...I've followed Eno's music for years from Roxy music to Talking Heads and his own personal projects..... I'm so grateful too because without doing so I'd never have found Daniel and my world would be soo much poorer for it.... He's an instrument all on his own....

[julyarchives]

This band have it .

[comaradella]

If that guitar was a lady, she´d be moist



[MsSarahHeartburn]

@comaradella Great comment! I'm a lady & I'm hypnotised.

[comaradella]

@MsSarahHeartburn

Thank you Sarah,  Hector from Argentina

[MsSarahHeartburn]

@comaradella Hello, Hector! I can't figure out how soon these comments post--they didn't yesterday, now here they are. I have been listening to Daniel for the last couple of days & am now in a trance-like state.

[comaradella]

@MsSarahHeartburn I[m 59 too. funny.

[07blackwater]

Daniel Lanois spent most of his career producing bands that you've never heard of, like U2.

His own music isn't as wel known but one of my personal favorites (even though my french is limited) is Jolie Louise

[TheToxicThunder]

pure blues

[theblindoc]

The man has soul.

[tukabl]

He's playing in Copenhagen on saturday - and I can't be there **sob*

[vonalxao1]

He's the best ever. I worship this guy. And to think, I didn't know who he was a few months ago!

[dunsta5]

moments with you .....

[neathmywings]

Like buttah ; )

[TheJudyCantwell]

This is how guitar is supposed to be played.

[darrenmwilson]

Daniel Lanois is the master of touch. His playing is like a whisper that tickles the back of your neck. So powerful. So understated.

[TheTruthRocks]

No pick used. It's the thumbnail.

[markshelton411]

GOTTA LUV THE FART SOUNDS HE GETS W/ A PICK !!

[seifukusha]

man, i love this gtr tone....and the accents..wow.

[brzi77]

A song to die with ..... ;)

[SteveTheJazzMan]

Daniel is like a cracked door that you cant quite see into but you see just enough to be entirely happy and not overwhelmed.

[thailow117]

@SteveTheJazzMan dude, that's poetry.

[recordsare]

Hi Daniel

I've been listening to your work, maybe since Bob Dylan, can't remember which record. Heard you on David Dye yesterday with Trixie, sounded great saw you at Berklee a while ago. I worked with Arif Mardin. Bless you

Andy

[purpledoublebarrel]

Just seen BLACK DUB @ the Commadore Ballroom 02/02/11.And it was WICKED!!!

Trixie sings like an Angel.Brian I think is the best drummer out there He chops the beat down like a lumberjack with his axe.And Daniel Lanois Man oh man this 60 year old man

plays like He's been Blessed by all the greatest 6 string slingers ever.He is one of the greatest players of our time GO SEE THEM!! I can't stress that enough you will not be disapointed.My top 3 guitar players now are JH,DL,EC.

[parrotgypsy]

@purpledoublebarrel i was there too! right in front of the bassist. solid show, even with trixie's gaffs. brian is worth seeing alone. i met him after, what a gracious guy he is.

[dubbedcrazy]

terrific

[bluesborn]

Danny's trip is so honest and real.His hands work that guitar like a farmer works his land.

[MustKeepMoving]

sounds great... would make a good sleep machine app....

.zzzzzzz

[mtllittleone]

it's just a perfect sound! Gling gling

[Eisbude]

WHERE TO BUY? IS THIS SONG ON THE BLACK DUB CD? WHATS THE NAME OF???

[girlofcolours2]

I actually hear somebody SING a song with a guitar. Awesome.

[qqssaa]

shittttttttttttttttttttttt i like so much Daniel Lanois.... his music make me feel so good

[brainwave1989]

Does anyone have a link where I can purchase this video and song? I looked all over blackdub.net w/o success.

[Bigsbeee]

wow.. I love that neck P90

[TheWubblewubble]

god?

[TheChillers06]

What midi shit?! I have the same sound with my tele , twin reverb , rotovibe...and playing fingers!

I love it !

[maidoodesu]

nice ! です.

[hashbury09]

grait upload ;-) thank you i realy love it

[ciclosonico]

love it

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

Sounds like a roadie tuning a guitar....I don't get the fascination

So what, he's running a piano MIDI thru his guitar...WOW !

Anyone ever heard of Jerry Garcia?....king of the MIDI

[lemanchot666]

@AvirtualSwitzerland PLAYING GITARE LIKE THIS TAKES A GREAT EAR! MAYBE YOU KNOW YOUR TECHNICS BUT I BET 100$ YOU GOT NO FEELING OVERALL CAUSE IF YOU HAD ANY FEELINGS YOU WOULDN'T TRY TO DOWNGRADE SUCH A GREAT ARTIST LIKE HIM! THANK YOU! Yes in caps lock,cause it look retarded as your comment. Cause It's retarded to still explaining such thing in high end stuff.

[lemanchot666]

@lemanchot666 GUITARE*

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@lemanchot666 .....check out the drums/space section from ANY second set of a 1990's GRATEFUL DEAD show since you appreciate MIDI so much....every instrument is experimenting with all kinds of pre-programmed sounds....90's versions of PLAYING IN THE BAND are also worth a listen, Senor MIDI...

[lemanchot666]

@AvirtualSwitzerland I just read your profile description, you should leave your ego a bit and maybe open your mind... Yes it is MIDI... who cares? You think just because he use MIDI over this track he got no skills at all? Daniel is an awsome player what ever you can say... even a great performer... Not our fault if your frustrated in your own little life and feel like to bitch on anybody who got more talent than you dude. Grow up a bit and make yours to worth it out to breath. Mr. Swiss.

[lemanchot666]

@lemanchot666 plus Daniel plays pedalsteel guitars which is an another instrument it takes lots of practice to use properly, I really don't know what are you trying to proove or anything just get over it dude.

[fivenotechord]

@lemanchot666

Greetings - don't think this tone necessitates midi. I'm getting something similar from P90 (bridge) using trem pedal and Big Muff (very slight) and DMM via a trusty and beaten up AC30.

[fivenotechord]

@AvirtualSwitzerland Try Yngwe

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@fivenotechord ....If you want some good music, listen to RATDOG or SCARING THE CHILDREN. There's a "first set" video and a second set" video from a recent "Jam Cruise" where they play on the cruise ship heading to Jamaica. Just punch in those key words...

[remoods]

Wonderful music !!! We love it !!!

Greetings from Germany

REMOODS

[jm31563]

This is really good....I'd like to hear more of this Black Dub project. Sadly we'll have to wait for a few months due to his recent motorcycle accident. Get well soon, man!

[nnncnoel]

The best from Lanois and as usual he has his own style.

[raketenflugplatz]

Impressive. Most impressive. :)

[theinnocents]

is this just because off the amp he using that he's getting this really nice 'Rhodes' guitar sound? if so, what amp? :D

[Freefinger]

AS usual, great music. great sound, great melody.. Also need to applaud Adam Vollick for his video capture of Lanois' style.  Those two are in perfect synch artistically! Bravo les boys!

[duoglide2008]

As usual, just beautiful.

[duoglide2008]

As usual, just beautiful.

[hilikus8]

how can you make a guitar sound so beautiful, it's as if I was listening to a rhodes piano, incredibly laid back feel and excellent touch

[starfish146]

The more I listen to it the more I love it

[09pshefski]

Just absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the decades of inovation and mastery. Your are a musical force. peace ,,,

Wonderful stuff, could listen to you play all day. Great tone and picking. You really have a nice touch and ear. It all started with Bettina for my ears.

[Bluesmanstrat1]

Comme un Acadien dirait " Ca c'est jouer de la boite!!!"

[NCdude76]

Daniel, thank you for finally kicking it in a real band. Your talent deserves to be heard! Hail, THE BLACK DUB!!!!

Dan's up in the clouds again.

[tajers]
