I kid you NOT. This 7.5-minute video will give you a UNIQUE perspective as to a ‘Gary Mullen‘ performance.
Not a conventional video. Instead, 157 still photos I took, at the concert, stitched together (via ‘PowerPoint‘) to make this 7.5-minute video. It does have a background soundtrack BUT it is NOT ‘Queen’ or ‘Gary Mullen’. Copyright issues! Instead it is copyright-free audio provided by ‘YouTube’.
Check it out. I am SURE you will NOT regret it. Thanks. SMILE.
I, one way or another, have seen & still get to see a LOT of live musical performances. (Just in my capacity as a volunteer for ‘Great Waters‘ I see at least 7 great shows each summer.)
So, when I say that Gary Mullen was a revelation you should take some notice. I do not say that lightly or ignorantly. Just for the record, though I was at all 6 Great Waters performances this year, this is the ONLY show I felt compelled — obligated — to rave about. I will say that ‘Michael Cavanaugh‘ was BRILLIANT (& a wonderful person), that the Family Stitt was a joy & that I real enjoyed ‘Rumors’. All those folks, plus the ‘Beatles’ & ‘ELO’ were great. Wonderful. It is just that Gary Mullen was simply MORE ELECTRIC, more dynamic, more charismatic.
Gary Mullen needs to be — deserves to be — KNIGHTED for his services to the arts! Yes, I appreciate that ‘Freddie Mercury‘ was never knighted. {Smile} Well Gary Mullen (thankfully) is NOT Freddie Mercury! I plan to write to MY QUEEN asking for Gary to be considered. {As some of you know, I do write to THE Queen. Alas, unlike my adoptive mother I do not have (a supposed) direct phone connection to her.}
Gary Mullen was beyond fantastic. So much energy. So much drive. So much commitment. So much dedication.
While I am hesitant to do so, given that our efforts are as different as chalk is to cheese, I do know some about performing on a stage. Yes, I have performed in front of a crowd in excess of 800. {Smile} Yes, I too have performed on stage in the U.S., Europe & Hong Kong. Yes, I made a decent living doing presentations & seminars & YES, I did put on a show. I was noted for my shows. So, I kind of know, to an extent, what it takes. That enhances MY appreciation of Gary Mullen.
He is brilliant. Just awesome. A very NICE GUY too. Yes, I did get to meet him after the show & chat a bit. We had made eye contact twice during the show given that I stood propped up against the show. Yes, he perspired over me. {SMILE} He is a treasure. As a Brit I am so proud of Gary Mullen.
