You know, thesouth West.ALEX.L: Yes its a great place to start the tour •••BILL.B: ... come down from the cold of Canada.ALEX.L: Yeah, it was a real cold winter and its sweltering up in thehundreds here. We had a fantastic baseball game last night on theday off. Did some flying here in Toucson, lounge by the pool, nowthats the way to start a tour!BILL.B: How about that softball game last night, wasn't it great?ALEX.L: That was fantastic, I guess I'll tell you •.• You were there, butI'll tell YOU the microphone about the softball game.We had a big softball game, we had the crew from Gary Moore's bandand the band and us, our crew and the 'lighties' and the 'soundies'We all went out to a baseball diamond, got it late at night, we gotthe lights up there and we had a small following of people outthere and we played softball, and it was a fantastic way for everyone to get to know each other, to go out and play some good olebaseball. Have fun, get back to the hotel, have a swim and talkabout baseball all night, eat Mexican food and go to bed at 11.30.It was great! (laughs)BILL.B: What do you like to do in your spare time?GEDDY.L: Why are you asking me that, you know what I like to do!BILL.B: (laughs) Maybe I should re-phrase that. Like I know •...GEDDY.L: I LIKE TO GO TO THE BASEBALL GAME WITH MY PAL THE B-MAN!!!(Both Laugh)BILL.B: And after soundchecks and stuff, you know, you actually throw theball around inside the hall.GEDDY.L: Yeah, you know I like baseball, I like a lot of things. But youknow, springs here, summers coming, all those teams are out on thediamond playing every day,you gotta watch it, its good stuff.30
GEDDY.L(cont): I think Detroits going to win the world series this year though.Thats a pretty bold statement I know!BILL.B: I have the first single, on Moon Records, and the foot-side is aBuddy Holly song.ALEX.L: Yeah, Not Fade Away. Actually, not to many people have that, thatwas honestly a very limited run of records and that particularrecord was done with the original producer David Stock, whoproduced the first album in about two hours and it sounded like itwas, maybe done in two or three minutes. We just did a version ofit that just sounded, good! you know, it was real powerful, nothinglike the Rolling stones version or the original version. It wasa lot more powerful, it was a lot of fun to play! And playing thebars, it was a song that always went over really well, I think weuse to close with it or we close a set with it.BILL.B: On Exit-Stage Left, the recording of that is just incredible, withthe audience singing along to the choruses.ALEX.L: That was really powerful. Actually its an amazing feeling not tobe able to hear the monitors or yourself playing 'cause theaudience are singing so loud. It was just one of those things ...They're a real fired up crowd in Scotland. It was Great!BILL.B: I remember being in Le Studio, the day before you were going tocut your first vocal and I was asking you what you did to preparefor that, you know whether, you practised or not and you justkinda said, NO, I just go in there and sing it! And you werereally confident, you knew exactly what you were going to do.Was that from all the rehearsal that you do with the album?GEDDY.L: I use to be real worried about doing vocals. Getting ready to dovocals I, you know, This heavy thing corning, but, thats aridiculous attitude really, because, you know, who cares, youshould go in, you sing it, If you don't sing well, you well, corneback another day and sing it again. You know I just figure, thata vocal has to be a sincere thing. The performance is the most~ important aspect of the vocal.BILL.B: On the Grace under pressure Tour, you actually have two drum kits,which surround you in a circle.NEIL.P: Yeah, the premise of that, being to accomodate the electronicdrums without having to sacrifice my already existing acousticdrum set-up, because I didn't want it to be an 'either or'situation, in the case where if I want to have electronics I haveto give up what I've slaved to perfect all these years. I'm justnot into stepping backwards in that way. So the only option opento me was to have a Satelitte drum set incorporating the electronicdrums, but they also gave me a chance to put together a very smallbasic drum set, of snare drum, bass drum and a few torn-toms behindme, so I can switch from my very humble and modest main drum kit,back to a very small, basic set-up, but still have access tospecial percussion instruments that make up my main drums.
