WOW :o :o :o

The stamina to be able to play like that for long periods. I'm so jealous. Was a big fan of them in 70's / 80's and tried copying a lot of what he did but nowhere near as brilliant. It did however allow me to play a lot faster and tighter than the standard rock music i was playing up to that point. Also let me show off a little when i auditioned :lol:

Percy Jones, Jack Bruce, Geddy Lee and Richard Sinclair from Camel probably my biggest influences. Cant play like them but they were what i was aiming for.
Hopefully i learned something from them all. :)

This track on the album Unorthodox Behaviour has the most delightfully subtle drumming from Phil Collins.

Quite right !

Collins tubbing on all BX discs is pretty awesome

'76 footage of Jones with Soft Machine . Jones had already joined Brand X the year before, because he'd stated in an interview
that with his £200 advance, he bought his PB fretless, which it seems he's using with Soft Machine

3rd track at around 10:50 you can hear the Jones style , and even more so at 19:00 , with that oddball home built flangery wah thing
( he was a bit of an electronics wizz )

Well, he's nearly 70 now, ( born Dec 47 ) so he was nearly 69 at this gig

There's no one like him[/quote]

They're playing a small club Friday night in Milwaukee.I think it hold 150 people and that might be high.

$30.00 I should go.
