>This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of the DU forming
Happy birthday/anniversary. An impressive 10 years of contributions from contributors and donators across the globe whether coinop related, console related (including handheld items), computer related, industrial machine related, and various electronic devices related for the goal of preservation. * Applauds *
*crosses fingers that Kee Games Quiz Show tapes can be somehow dumped even though that will take a setup to handle those tapes and the data on the tapes.*
Quiz Show is only remaining, not yet emulated in MAME, cpu based game that I actually did play at Magic Mountain's arcade back in mid 1970s. All the other cpu based coinop videogames I played are emulated.
>Andrew Welburn dumped Dock Man II which is a previously unknown upgrade to the original >which plays faster.....also dumped the Seevend license version of Dock Man
Awright. Another good find and contribution by Andy.
Time to celebrate and roll out Al Jarreau's variation of:
Warner Music Group [Sittin' On] The Dock of the Bay Al Jarreau All Fly Home 1978 Warner Brother Records
Background Vocals: Al Jarreau Flugelhorn: Freddie Hubbard Additional Keyboards: Jim Ryan Additional Synthesiser: Jim Ryan Drums: Joe Correro Additional Keyboards: Larry Williams Additional Synthesiser: Larry Williams Guitar: Lee Ritenour Keyboards, Organ, Synthesiser, Vibes: Lynn Blessing Percussion: Paulinho Da Costa Bass: Reggie McBride Keyboards, Piano, Synthesiser: Tom Canning Writer: Otis Redding Writer: Steve Cropper
Paulinho Da Costa percussion work always impresses me. The playing style to me is subtle and light like Michael Fisher's work compared to Alex Acuna, Manolo Badrena, and Luis Conte, but still effective in a recording studio setting.
When remembering Al's past vocal work, Breakin' Away is always the first tune that comes to my mind even though most others will pick a different song piece that Al sung. Reason why I bought some of Al's albums in early 1980s is primarily to listen to drummer Steve Gadd play drums on Al's albums. Steve was one of the top 5 known studio musician drummers back then along with Jeff Porcaro. Select pop vocal recording artists in early 1980s and either Jeff or Steve would be the drummer doing the studio session recording work.
