Band Introductions (PL)
I thought the sound was good on the stream, but the band was a little rocky at first, but improved with every song. Stanley Jordan really shredded his instrumentals, much better than his last time with Phil, wow! Box of Rain was a wonderfully sweet version!
2nd set just rocked, many great spaces, Sugaree had a different feel, all in all a fun show.
the stream was a crisp ustream video that showed the bands fingers more than there faces which was very cool. then at break there was and hour long video tribute to phil followed by the cake presentation by peter, which was very moving for me.
i was happy to be on couch tour for this one since it showcased sj virtuosity in the first set, so it was not a rocking show imo.
very cerebral imo. looking forward to dancing my ass off at the cap tonight with a smoking rocker of a show. yeah!
The show raged....it's not just NYC Dave...sad day on the zone when the lack of commenting relates to how good a show was...maybe peeps just don't give a fuck no more...
the entire first set was flat. and they came out the same way to start the second set, flat.
jk just doesn't fit in....w/ any guitarist, let alone stanley jordan. also the drummer was lost. i bailed at new speedway, so maybe things started to gel after that....
>>Flat....sometimes I wonder if peeps r at the same show...broken arrow and box in the same set ...flat......hilarious...
Are you familiar with the musical terms sharp and flat?
In my opinion, Joan's Shakedown vocal was flat. It doesn't matter if they played Broken arrow, Box, Dark Star, Anarchy in the UK, 911 is a Joke, Smells Like teen Spirit or Handel's Messiah - or all of them and Muskrat Love as well in the same set. If her notes fall below the key of the song - her vocal is flat. If they were above - she would be sharp. I like Joan. I think she has a great singing voice most of the time. In this instance I thought her vocal sounded flat. Hilarious.
Huge Joan fan here, re listening to Sugaree right now (thanks Quin), ive seen her just crush this song a few times...definitely sounds "off" ....whole song does
Patrick Number 6, I adore Joan, but I've noticed a tendency to sing flat sometimes. Historically, not just the last couple of nights. But I'm very picky about intonation.
Oh, and I was at the show and loved it, warts and all.
I was at 3 15 , flat? no I say the world is round, like this shoe! Listen to phil thumpin that Terrapin....dude is 77..Me And My 89 year old Mom had a great time , the staff at the cap were soo nice thanks to the kindnessty gooddayh staff

I've heard opinions that go from bad to great, just looking for some more to get a true idea.
And I love Joan, looking forward to hearing her. But I didn't think her vocals on that Shakedown (based on the link above) were very good.

Went to Phil on 3/15.
I agree they were just flat with no "umph" driving this band.
Stanley Jordan is a talented player and he had some amazing moments but there was no jam in this band.
More cerebral type show then a rocker.
I thought perhaps because it was the first night of 3, but I just watched last nights show and still feel the same.
On to JRAD!

Where U at the shoe? Either way U R entitled 2 an opinion. I disagree but so what.
Seperate subject. Phil is a human being, As such he makes mistakes and is far from perfect.
I can do hypercritical about any subject, I'm just not sure what purpose that serves in this discussion.
I was fortunate 2 C both Berry Oakley and Jaco Pastorius B4 they moved on.
There R other bass players alive today who shine.
Phil's approach is so unique, I have always felt fortunate 2 hear him play.
That's my 2 cents & I'm sticking 2 it. Feel free 2 bash away.
