This has been recorded for the first time directly onto my laptop hard-hardrive. It's cool because I don't have to enter into transfer mode after recording, but it's in mono.
That day we played the usual stuff, and added "Wild west" in the process ! :)

And then, after the rehearsal, I stayed in the room and made good use of my now warmed up voice for some small repairs into the vocal parts of "The wall". I redid the final singing of "Hey you", some sentences in "Run like hell", and one phrase into "Nobody home". I also did the crowd chants at the end of "Waiting for the worms" and "The trial". And then I shouted: "Stop !" :)

Recording: 'Sunday papers'
Recording: 'It's different for girls'

France 3 basement - 21:00-00:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.

Finally, a recording :)
This was cool, but perhaps a little frustrating as I'm begining to question my guitar playing. I think I should go into practice mode for a time. We did the usual numbers, except Evil empire, and we agreed to add one more song for the next rehearsal.
I think we finally determined a proper ending for "Sunday papers". And we played a very good "I'm the man" and "Look sharp" duet.
