Linus27 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I see Pino Palladino is playing at Ronnie Scotts this Wednesday. I so wish I was going but I saw it too late. I am sure it would be amazing. Anyone from here going?

bassatnight Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Wish I was, I remember seeing him back in the early eighties with Paul Young, loved his fretless Ray playing. Quote
Linus27 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 I know, I am so annoyed at missing this. Not sure he plays much fretless these days but either way, it would had been great to see him play live. Quote
acidbass Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 A few of my mates were given tickets by Pino himself, but they're not even sure what to expect - I mean, it's Pino's gig and he's hardly a band leader? Quote
Higgie Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Was trying to get the money together but it sold out before I could. Gutted Quote
Owen Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I am killing time in the vicinity before going in at 6.30. I am tragically excited I have also managed to get to the Gallery, cross Dingwall off my GAS list (a fine instrument, just not for me) but unexpectedly add Alleva to it. It has been, and is going to be, a good day. If anyone else is going to be there pm me your mob and we can......... um ........ say "hi". Quote

Owen Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Interpreting a Pino solo gig for a forum full of bass geeks. No pressure there! I will report back [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1317830554' post='1395133'] Damn and blast you lucky git. Please let us know how it is, what he plays etc [/quote] Quote
Linus27 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 [quote name='owen' timestamp='1317846869' post='1395460'] Break after first set. It is proper. [/quote] What?? Is that it???? You can't leave us hanging on What basses is he playing? full band, style of music, more more more Quote
Owen Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 It would be better still if I was not sitting behind a pillar which is obscuring my view of the great man. Quote
Owen Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Fiesta Red P. Epifani 2xsomething, 10" I'm guessing but it is dark and without geeking it to the max and walking to the front I cannot tell. Obv at the end I will. He has sunburst P as well. Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Tony Williams covers and other stuff. Hamish Stewart on vocals for "Who's that girl". This has been Owen at Ronnie Scott's for Basschat.co.uk Quote
Owen Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Keys, guit, kit and The Great Man (which I thinks is how we should refer to him from now on). 3 piece horns came on for a couple, harmonica on a couple. It is just mates jamming. The vibe is that good. Quote
Linus27 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 Awsome, thanks Owen. How does his bass sound and any fretless stuff? Quote
urb Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Was an awesome gig, as you would expect loads of great grooves on a really varied set that included tunes by Marley, Tony Williams and an encore of 'Chicken Grease', not to mention a couple of storming Fela Kuti tunes... it was killing - of course Chris Dave was amazing but so was Pino. The place was rammed, every muso in town was there... Quote
KiOgon Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Was there any official filming of it? Even unofficial is it on youtube yet? Quote
urb Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Here's my write up of the gig - such a cool night... http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/68-2011/12075-jazz-breaking-news-pino-palladino-and-chris-dave-invoke-the-spirit-of-fela-marley-and-dangelo-at-ronnie-scotts- Quote
kevin_lindsay Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Just got a text from Pino saying he had a great time at the gig last night. Quote
Owen Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 There was more groove than a ploughed field. Quote
daz Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) [b]Always remember how lucky you are to live in London[/b]. Able to go out to a large assortment of gigs of any genre any night of the week. When i was a stripling of 17 (in 1980) I went there for three days and went out every night. Over Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I saw : The Ramones, The Boys, Ten Pole Tudor, The Slits, The Raincoats, The Pop group, The Damned, The Cramps. A seminal weekend for me. I never forgot it, It just made me realise how starved of music and culturte we are where i live, and away from London in general. Edited October 7, 2011 by daz Quote
