A treat today. Here’s the full live version of “I Need Your Love” from Diamond Head. Again, this one’s from the Leicester Gig on the 1984 Canterbury Tour.
Mervyn (Goldsworthy) was a fine bass player, but holy shit… David Williamson was a totally different kettle of fish… I’m tellin’ ya!
So nowadays slap bass in rock is ‘de rigeur’? David was the first to incorporate it in Metal. We’d never seen it.
Brian & Sean liked that.
Backing vocals are a little shaky, but it’s worth listening to the solid groove and then the slap stuff David comes up with …and the fans sure as hell liked it!
Incidentally, we came up with an idea for a similar song at a soundcheck in Portugal. I recorded a version in full a while back at Pulpo Negro Studios in Murcia, here in Spain. The song’s an absolute beauty. Fab vocal lines from Sean.
