After The Fire - Joy (KN6000)

"Joy" by "After The Fire" played on a Technics KN6000 keyboard by Stephen Macdonald.

Not exactly the same as the original, but best I could do playing live with a "keyboard" and not a "synth" :-)

No, I don't have 4 camcorders - I recorded 4 separate full performances at different angles with a single camcorder, then used AviSynth & VirtualDub on the PC to produce a single video with transitions and dubbed with the higher quality "line out" sound from the keyboard (to get rid of the low quality camcorder mic sound and the sound of the keys going up and down!)

There's also another version of this song on my profile using a different keyboard.

Anyone remember "Weekend" Thursday nights BBC East with John Mountford?

[smacdonald1971]

Seems no-one does. Care to explain the reference?

2:14 - 2:22 sounds like he is gobbling some Pac-Man ghosts.

Apologies for a late reply :-)) but I came across this YouTube link for the very reason mentioned in boojum's original posting.

I used to live in Essex many years ago and my favourite TV programme was "Weekend", the opening title sequence of which included footage of John Mountford doing a bit of a 'Reggie Perrin' by running scantily-clad (if not in the raw) down a shingle beach into what I suspect was a very cold North Sea ...

Just got the original AtF version from iTunes ...

As a keyboard player myself, I have to say that is pretty impressive. However, as an ATF fan, as nburmandesign has said, PLEASE fix that bass line!

[nburmandesign]

Please fix that bass line...

[dingdangdo81]

It WAS on red vinyl but now cant find One Rule For You anywhere

[dingdangdo81]

was that the prog with Mick Jackson as the theme

[JIF882]

Being that I'm an American, I only knew ATF from Der Kommissar(I was born in '82). Being a fan of prog rock in my teens, so I bought Signs of Change from Amazon. I love it! ATF should've stayed prog

[NiboRRobiN86]

Love this song!

I remember this as a B side tune on the duke box in our pub in the early 80's.

I only heard it as I pushed the wrong selection button. (2 much Beer)

Great tune though and well played Stevie.
