eleclyaIdk how many people have actually heard anything by David Ford, but I felt in a sharing mood.
Live State of the Union
It's an old recording, one of his first solo gigs after Easyworld split up. But basically, it's a big old political/social rant, combined with absolute musical genius and the most perfect timing ever. For anyone who doesn't know how David Ford gigs work... there was only one man on stage during that performance. Just him. Playing guitar, piano, various bits of percussion, and all the vocals. Just him. I've honestly lost count of the number of times I've seen him perform that song live, and it still astounds me that he can manage it all with such perfect timing. Watching him, he's running around the stage like a complete madman, switching from one instrument to the next, turning on recording loops, stopping them again, using different mics for all the different vocals, complete insanity.
But fucking hell, it works.
(also, he has a song called Katie which includes the line "you know I'd hate to come over obsessive coz I'm really really really I'm not like that at all" which will never stop amusing me ^_^)
