Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Well I have to be honest but I don't play it much at all.It's not that I don't like it, I do.Just that I don't find myself returning to it over and over.

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
When I think of Dave, I think of an English eccentric - a brainiac fiddling with synths, computers and gadgets.
I see him programming his Psion organiser in the studio or pen in hand clutching a puzzle book or dressed in chain-mail as a saxon foot soldier.
I also think of boiler suits, Sherlock Holmes style pipes, cool 80s leather jackets, pentagrams and the occult.
What I don't think of is a floaty Boho babe driving down a yankee boulevard in a convertible, filmed through faux retro Instagram filters that were all the rage 10 years ago.
Why does everyone think this "perfectly captures" Dave?

I don't think anyone thinks that do they? It's a nice nod to Dave but it would be impossible to try and cover all bases as he was so unique

It's not a case of a checklist of "Daveisms" (as per video - rats, shoulder bag, keyboard) - it's the overall feel - which I think is a million miles from his persona projected in the band.

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
yes i agree Jim,i don't think anybody thinks that too,its a tough one doing a tribute to someone you've known for such a long time,how do you convey everything that he represented in 3 odd minutes.I think the song itself is a good as a tribute to him that they could of done that JJ felt was right. Because he knew him he would obviously do a completly different song than i would of done not knowing him personally,i get that too and you can tell the unleft sadness and frustratration in the lyrics where things were left almost unfinished with the things that he would of liked to have said but never got the last chance too.So from JJ was it was a tribute song about how he has been left feeling too,i feel they got it as about as right as they could.The vid does have flickers and touches of Dave in it that i thought was very well thought out and done without it being to sombre or over the top,but to many Dave fans they may might not feel it was enough of a tribute vid.theraven1979 wrote: ↑11 Jun 2021, 11:56 I don't think anyone thinks that do they?
