Electric guitar

Pink Floyd’s version. The first choice they made was changing the instrumentation, Foo Fighters’ version does not use a synthesizer which was a key aspect of the melody section in Pink Floyd’s version. This part of the melody is played by the electric guitar instead of the synthesizer in the cover version. The absence of the synthesizer makes the Foo Fighters’ more straightforward and less complex because it takes away from the nuances of the original song and makes the cover song more direct.…

The location of the performance was at the San Jose State University Music Hall. The audience dressed casually. At the concert, I was a casual and referential listener. Like my previous assessment, I was a casual listener because I didn’t know the name of the song or artist, but I paid attention to the piece. Furthermore, I was a referential listener because I pictured some scenes while listening to the jazz music. When the trumpet played, it reminded me of a scene where a band is playing jazz…

Stevie Wonder’s song Sir Duke sounds like it uses the ABBA form. I also hear what sounds lik a wall of sound, multiple instruments in each measure of music. I think the style of music originates from the Motown style. My first impression of Beck’s Blue Moon is that it sounds like the beach boys.
