what's that smell, like fish?

oh baby

Did anyone listen? I didn't but would love to hear about it. I heard there was a horn player.

I did listen, and there was a horn player, but I had the show on in the background while I was working, and didn't catch his name. It was a pretty hot show that I'll be revisiting this afternoon.

I watched some of the preview.  I like what the horn player brought to the music. 

Jorma can give Bobby a run for the money as far as talking his way through a song these days lol.

Saw Tuna electric at Lisner Auditorium in DC in early/mid seventies.. Can't remember exactly which show. But I do remember Trial by Fire. Whichever show it was, my ears rang for three days afterwards. No breaks. Jack and Jorma passing reefers and a bottle of Jack back and forth on stage during the show. What wonderful times! Drove up from Richmond.

The horn player is Steve Bernstein. Quite a career including the Midnight Ramble Band and very much more. 

I thought both shows were quite good, but I was really surprised, and not in a good way, by the amount of tunes that were played both nights.

That show was so good.

I was skeptical the horns (4 horns, each with its own mic and effects setup) would work, but the the different sounds he played really complimented the material. Sometimes it sounded like 1930s New Orleans, other times a flute, other times a lead guitar. (I had never seen a bugle trombone before.) I wouldn't want to hear them all the time but a tour with horns will be fun. 

I also noticed that Jorma's vocal phrasing was a little different too --  all in all it sounds like they are experimenting with a slightly different take on the songbook.

>Whichever show it was, my ears rang for three days afterwards. <

American University 1975 or  probably Lisner Aud George Washington University 1976 was so LOUD I had to spend the show in the lobby --  and my ears rang so much I wrote a senior paper on noise pollution.

I bought the 2 night stream and it stopped before the encore both nights.  Did that happen to others?

Jorma played full-on electric on only 2 or 3 songs. He definitely still wails, but it's all pretty short and sweet.

I also didn't care for the horn on a couple of tunes, especially Hit Single #1. There was some cool Miles-like playing on some other stuff, though.

Same here, Ohr, and a buddy of mine also didn't get the encore either night.

Did either shortchanged party try replay?  I've gotten used to having to re-play in order to see/hear a buffering-F'd portion of a stream.

 

I knew the valve trombone was a thing.  So it makes sense there's also a slide trumpet.  Cool.

Yes, I tried replay and unfortunately the encore is missing on both nights.

Sounds like a "WTF?" email campaign is in order.  Everyone should get a freebie or something.  Some sort of customer service ass-kissing.

Lest streaming becomes the "They fuck you at the drive-thru" of the concert industry.
