Speaker 4: his comrades and for other people in the genre. And

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,560

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: left side.

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 5: So when you called me about this tour, the first

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: thing I said was, Wow, this dude really has visions.

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 5: Because we needed something to remind people how important what

65

00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And they needed it to have some class,

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and the beauty to go along.

100
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: the records, they don't yeah, yeah, they don't reflect what

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: you're really capable of doing.

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,560

00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: We've been. We've been in the trade together already.

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: See the models, because you came out before all. But

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: I say that back, Jay came out before all of us.

111
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: But I remember being I remember being young, just getting

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: side and I remember going to somewhere in New York

113
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: and I remember you walking just kind of working the room.

114
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: And somebody tapped me and that's.

115
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Was it, Okra, Mic No, No, it was some type

116
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: of event, you know, like a convention or something like that,

117
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: and they would just kind of make you know, working

118
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: through the rounds.

119
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: Okay.

120
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: So you know, my question is you've been touring for

121
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, my first tour was in ninety seven,

122
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: but I was with somebody. You've been touring as yourself.

123
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: What do you think the difference is between you know,

124
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: that time of touring and what you've experienced in the

125
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: recent years of touring.

126
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: Well, the I'd say the thing that stands out the

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: most of me is that his social media algorithms are

128
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: somewhat you know, spilled out onto the state and you

129
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: can kind of see reflections of that, uh with how

130
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: the rappers go through their catalogs. You know, it used

131
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: to be, you know that you could get at least

132
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: two and a half minutes of a record, but now

133
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: you're getting forty five seconds.

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no of it.

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: So I think that that that, you know, that's really

136
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: that that's something that just kind of stuck out for me.

137
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: So as a fan here because I'm going to be

138
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: there as purely as a fan.

139
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Well, now listen, this does this, this.

Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys.

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: Man, when you thought that, it made me.

150
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: It made me think about my set list and how

151
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I do my songs and you and I'm really listening,

152

Speaker 1: hookout and then I do I do first hook vamp like,

154
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: and I've made the adjustment. I only made that adjustment.

155
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: As as the social attention span, has it.

156
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 6: Has affected, it definitely hasn't. And it's probably not something

157
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 6: we ever ever even thought about doing. We've all had it.

158
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 6: We've just been it's evolved. Like do I only really

160
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: Mind you?

161
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: When you have a catalog like the Isley Brothers, of

162
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: course you can only fit for you.

163
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

164
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think the Jay's point though, it's like, I

165
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: think we're getting ready to go into a space where

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: our fans who are in very seasons bands right and

167
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: and have had really real experiences with our songs.

168
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: Every word from.

169
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Mean something because I mean I think for me too,

170
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: I've as we went on the road and as you've toured,

171
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: and I always walk.

172
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Around the venue.

173
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm always and I just people watch. You know that

174
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: about people watch and I get to hear people talking about, oh,

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: I wish he would have I wish he would have

176
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: wish he like, damn they didn't go to this part,

177
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: and the fan really want to see that. They really

178
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I get it. You

179
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: know that over the years, now it's these you know

180
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: shows with ensemble cast it's ten artists. If it's ten artists,

181
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: I get it, it's three of y'all.

182
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: Though, I want you to play the song.

183
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: What's funny is.

184
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: The crowd let me? Yeah.

185
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 6: I had already planned to do that. I said this

186
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 6: this tour, I want to do some of the slower

187
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 6: records that I never really get to get off, some

188
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 6: of the vocal records that I never get to get

189
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 6: off and play. I'm doing the second verses of stuff

190
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 6: I probably never saw. I might not even remember the

191
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 6: second version.

192
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 4: That surprised at those songs on your projects that think

193
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: the least of them.

194
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 6: They're waiting to say it.

195
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, some of wear up my idea that people

196
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 7: actually like, hey, now you know what I mean, that

197
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 7: they actually like that record, you know, in a performance setting,

198
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 7: until I actually get it at a wedding.

199
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: And then I had an opportunity to see the response

200
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 4: from it.

201
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll go to YouTube and check the views on

202
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: the audios of all of all of the album songs

203
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: and just and see there's one of them. Because we

204
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: had a record working with me that we had no

205
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: idea that was jumping in everyone's bedroom and strip club.

206
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: We had no not say, no idea, no idea. The instrument,

207
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: the guitar came on and all of a sudden, I

208
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: love that record.

209
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 6: I love that record.

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Didn't do it.

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: I wished, I wish came out and was an absolute

212
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: smashed for four weeks and.

213
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: I knew nothing about what was going on at all.

214
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: I knew nothing about it at all. Well at the time.

215
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 8: At the time, we were on the European leg of

216
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 8: the No Way Out tour, the European the European leg, Yeah,

217
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 8: and I didn't know if.

218
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 4: I didn't know if, but it's a real tour of

219
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: their legs.

220
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: I did, but I didn't know.

221
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going on in the States,

222
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: and you know, social media wasn't then.

223
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: So they had a gala for Clive Davis. He was

224
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: leaving Arista Records.

225
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure y'all remember that he was leaving Arista, and

226
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: they had this big gallop for Clive and they said,

227
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: you guys got to hurry up and get back. You

228
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: got to get there. So instead of going back to

229
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: New York, we flew into la and landing at Lax,

230
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, all right, So we're driving down Lost.

231
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: You know, we're driving.

232
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 4: Down and at the time, you know, the street team

233
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 4: was how you got things done. That's how you got

234
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: things done. And we're riding down and all I seen

235
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: was rolls and rolls and rods of these big orange

236
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: posters and I remember, I'll never forget. They were fire

237
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 4: orange and it was Carl Thomas. I wes Carl Thomas,

238
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: I wis. I ran out And from the time that

239
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: I landed at the airport to the time we made

240
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: it to the hotel, I think I've heard the song

241
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: maybe six times between two radio stations, and I think

242
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: that I think that that's when it kind of sunk in.

243
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I'm hot.

244
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: It's a different situation.

245
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: Than he is.

246
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I'm telling you, man, I felt like I'm

247
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 4: telling you.

248
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: I felt like Stony Jackson, Jill you.

249
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: I felt like Stony. I like that it's different when

250
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: you when y'all like stony, I mean Jay.

251
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: As a as a as a manager and a facilitator

252
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: of all things behind scenes and in front of the scenes,

253
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: speak to some of the tech, the technical things that

254
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: go into putting something like this together. Oh well, I

255
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: think it's the part that people don't see is just

256
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the negotiation of it, of everything, of everything. Like people

257
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: think that you just go on tour and you just

258
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: show up and people gonna be there and oh, y'all

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: got records, But it's like, no, you don't understand. They're

260
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: tech writers. There are you know. It's the staff. It's

261
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that you have everything in place

262
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: and that you guys can do your job, because y'all

263
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to deal with oh they said they don't

264
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: got it just has to be like, oh no, it's

265
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: there as much as you can, right. And I think

266
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: our situation sometimes is a little different. I even wanna

267
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: say sometimes it is.

268
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: It's a lot.

269
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Different because you also are a musician, right, so since

270
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: he plays it's really technical, you know what I mean,

271
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, so did.

272
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: They have to this and this and they're gonna have

273
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: the right now, And I'm like.

274
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: We've been in situations where we've literally been moving rises.

275
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: Back literally but is it literally like green Book, like

276
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: the movie Green Book, Like they don't have a certain piano,

277
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: like you can't.

278
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Well he's easier though, you know what I mean, but

279
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: figure it out. But when he says, like the stuff,

280
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: we got it, we'll get into because we're also like,

281
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: we're the guys, it's like, well, how do we make

282
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: it happen? So we get to a venue and the

283
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: people are ten rolls from the front of the stage.

284
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: That's where they start. Me and this guy, we said, hey, guys, listen,

285
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: we'd love to touch the people. And she's like, well,

286
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have a lot of staff here

287
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: to move this. This is a barrier, but still barrier

288
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: going across the whole arena.

289
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: We said, listen, we.

290
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Will gather people and we will move it ourselves if

291
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: you will allow us to. And we just start gathering

292
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: people with the promoters and everybody, and we moved the

293
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: still barriers ten rows and we help them put down chairs.

294
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Because the experience, again, people don't understand, they don't know

295
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the technical style, like you said, they just know they're

296
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: not having a good time.

297
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: It's just really crazy.

298
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 6: That's my beef.

299
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: You deal them with different stuff that's you know, a

300
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: sound check that may not be working, or you know,

301
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: somebody forgot the end.

302
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: But the only all the tours that I've ever been on,

303
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: the only ones that work is when you have the

304
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: see a need, feel a need spirit with it, because

305
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: you got to understand it's just like see a need feeling,

306
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: see a need feeling need uh. And it's it's kind

307
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: of like touring is kind of like putting together a

308
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: great band.

309
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: You know, no band that the first thing that there.

310
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: Is that no band is meant to stay together fab

311
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: no matter how much you like them, never stay together fever.

312
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: And just like that, no tour is designed to go

313
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: flawlessly without hiccup.

314
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: And with our challenge, our.

315
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: Responsibility is to make sure that the audience don't know

316
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: that it's.
