chaypup Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) That bassline on '110th Street' - my favourite kind of busy, bubbling sound - beautiful! ...and Danny DeVito on percussion too! Edited July 1, 2013 by chaypup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Unfortunately I tuned in as Damon Albarn was 'singing' like he does and quickly moved on elsewhere. May revisit the session on iplayer where I can fast forward where necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was like two different shows - he opened with the Damon Albarn stuff from the new 'atmospheric' album & then kicked him off stage and came back, resplendent in matching red leather suit, hat & shows & launched into the 'classics' set. The second half was a different world, gutsier singing, funkier playing from the band (although maybe not as good as previous bands I've seen with him) and an all round proper soul legend performance. Even had the wonderful Altrinna Grayson on backing vocals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It wasn't anyone I've seen with him before (and I've seen him a lot of times!). In fact I didn't recognise any of the band except for Altrinna He had a pretty stable touring band for a long time so maybe this one was either put together for this show (or possibly the Greatest Man tour which I didn't see). I thought he was using an Atelier Z through an Aguilar DB750 & pair of GS 410's. Don't know if that was a hired rig for the festival as I saw at least two other people using the same set up. If it was an Atelier then they are pretty cool basses. Only ever seen one other player with one over here - Francis Hylton of Incognito.

JTUK Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Watching on TV he was on stage with Alburn and I turned over. Went back when he changed his band... but still couldn't stay with it. Not sure if that was me not giving it a fair go ..but I did tune back in quite a few times and nothing stuck. Maybe I missed some good bits...???
