Hobbayne Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Stax volt concert in Norway with Booker T and Otis Redding etc tonight on BBC4 at 10 pm Quote
Beedster Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 How cool was that band, and totally held together by the deceptively easy looking/sounding bass playing Quote
louisthebass Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Makes you realise what a great rhythm section Booker T & the MG's were. Probably not as "technical" as the Motown sound, but grooved just as hard. Quote
toneknob Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Repeated Saturday at 1am, for those reading this thread at 10.30. (me) Quote
BetaFunk Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Fantastic band. Just turned over and there's a bloke singing some old dirge wearing sunglasses and a parka. Back down to earth with a bump then. Quote
Green Alsatian Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I've seen this a few times and I swear it gets better each time! Quote

sblueplanet Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Watched the show and the Otis doc beforehand. Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper on good form and looking way cool in their sharp suits but nothing could beat the power and presence of Otis Redding himself, what a tragedy he died so young. Quote
Jah Wibble Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) America's most openly racially mixed band playing a raw set to hundreds of Europe's most liberal....what's not to like?? Edited June 1, 2013 by Jah Wibble Quote
