Civilized Tears : 'My Friend John' - live in Texas - Video
PUBLISHED:  Apr 14, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
Over a two week period the band performed this song live and delved into new arrangements and pushed the envelope of sonic levels. Prior to this mini tour they had never played the track in a live setting and weren't even sure of it's arrangement.In fact the song had a different arrangement every night depending on how the audience was responding. You'll notice Tim shouting instructions to the band to let them know what to play at certain points in the song.
Driven by the crowds energy and the song's deeply personal and painful content they spontaneously weaved new emotions & ideas into the track.You'll notice a few people walking by, but they were in the minority. 250 people were crammed into the tiny club on the Texan Gulf Coast.
This performance in Corpus Christi, Texas is the last time the song was ever played live. Hopefully it will be not be last.
Amazingly the tour was Bambi's first time to play electric guitar live and Tim's first attempt at playing lead.
The performance was recorded on a small camera and the audio is a touch distorted as a result but we feel the overall energy and performance is captured.
Song written by Tim Bennett ( TABSmith ) 2012 / BMI , and is dedicated to John JC Cullen. Drummer, Husband, Father, Friend and Passionate Human who truly lived life to the fullest.
