Gump and Friends Unplugged Live

August 2000

This was the a little side project for myself. I always wanted to hear Tony Banks solo music performed live acoustically, but unfortunately Tony never achieved much commercial success. Around this time I was also listening to Steve Hackett’s “There are many sides to the Night” CD and thought it would be cool if I could take Tony’s and Steve’s Music and mix it together with audience clapping and make it sound real! I included my own little intros between the songs to add to the feel of myself playing live and the entire CD came out extremely well.
