I'll take B&Ps
Hornsbys set is another two discs...and is also excellent.
eventualy, i'll upload this to archive. probably tomorrow or Monday.
My bandwidth is busy at the moment.
The band was Great..Bobby looked and sounded great. Got a haircut and
beard trimin' since his "pony epxress" shoot. The band gives a slow
tempo to everything...and i'm sure that its by Weirs direction. Jay
Lane...plays like a metronome, keeping "nuclear clock" time, for sure.
But uninteresting as all hell. For example, Rodney Holmes could play
these slow tempos but explore them on his kit where as Jay just lays it
out strait up. Makes for a boaring presentation at times. After all,
a band is only as good as their drummer. Jay is good..but needs to be
a little bolder, imo. We've all heard this rant before.
Karan kicks ass. The new bass player is sounding sort of Phil like
sometimes...but not that good. He certainly has gelled w/the Ratdog
sound, but I miss the voice of Robs bass and style.
Bruuuuuuccceee came out and played from the opener and on through
Cassidy. His vocals were a nice addition.
Really loved the Dark Star. The way Bobby sings it is cool...very
Weir"d".
www.nickspicks.com/mp3/darkstar.mp3But Ratdog..is ok by me! Bravo.
Hornsby's set was also wonderful, as i mentioned. He performed many of his best songs from various albums. A little Dylan as well (takes a lot to laugh, takes a train to cry).
I'll gladly spin copies for anyone, or point you to where you can download for the bandwith happy folks.
its a very nice recording. gatta love the wet neumann sound!
