I posted a recording of this previously - this is a "live" version using a new live performance rig where I record vocal + guitar playing along to the backing track, using only software for all FX and mixing, and output live to PA speakers, with 4k video recorded with an Iphone 11.

My tests indicate this setup could live mix a whole band (the USB interface has 16 inputs), replacing all gear (EQ, comp, reverb, guitar amps, master comp/limiter) with software plugins, with sufficiently low latency for live performance, recording all tracks individually. The setup (not that expensive) is described here:

Live performance is hard!  I normally do zillions of edits when recording.  My success rate for playing this song all the way through without screwing up is less than 10%.  But the effort is gradually improving my skills.

I had already heard the audio of this cover; interesting live recording process I had not seen the dedicated message that I will read carefully

This has new vocals and guitar, recorded live.  I took my previous recording and removed the guitars and  lead vocal, then practiced singing and playing along to it until I could play it all the way through live. (A difficult process for me as I usually don't play live and I make a lot of edits when recording...)

nobody is perfect but it is a big step forward for you... and for us

the glasses make this so much cooler!  I loved it!  The song is cool.  You do it well and the backing vocals are great.  awesome production.  You could pull this off!  Get 4 or 5 together and you are ready for open mic or someone's party etc... they will love you!  But even if you don't keep doing this because it's fun to watch and I love your total geek out production stuff..even if I can only comprehend a bit of it...

Looks and sounds great my brother. Well done.

The KISS (keep It Simple Stupid)system usually is the best good job on getting through the song, I liked it

Pretty impressive live version. Appreciate and can relate to your honesty into how difficult this is. I am on the same journey and yep it is a lot harder than it looks. Sounds great!

Fun listen and video. I think I will break out Pet Sounds today while I do some work.
