bubinga5 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) The first time I heard Snarky Puppy. Apart from Micheal's really tasteful amazing bass playing on this, Shaun Martins keys did it for me from 3.50. Astounding musicians all round.

StickyDBRmf Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I saw Gang Of Four for the Songs Of The Free tour at Art Stock's Royal Manor, New Jersey. I don't dance but I think I drank one beer that night because I was a dervish. Hugo and Sara Lee belted out a beat you could build a cathedral on, Andy Gill made sounds The Edge never thought of...the most psychedelic dance experience I ever had with no chemicals involved. The whole place just shook with dance. Yeah, I was slack-jawed. Jon King was at his peak too, he sounded like Bowie Edited November 28, 2020 by StickyDBRmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the dynamics, when he's thrashing away, yet he manages to make the volume swell and fade gently. Glad I watched that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) This is absolutely amazing : I also absolutely love Bill Fritzel on guitar, and unlike with Victor I love almost all the music Bill has been involved in (love the above tune though and The Flecktones, but everything Bill made is just astonishing beautiful).

I was 17 when I first heard it. A mate bought the album and knew a bit about the situation in South Africa and told me more about it. As with you it was this song that led me to learn more about Apartheid (I became a member of Amnesty International as a result - actually physically writing letters in the pre-online/internet/email era!). Again, like your good self (and in line with the other song of the era you’re referring to), since those days I too have also met nice South Africans! The Biko track is an amazing piece of music, IMVHO... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, first time I saw Springsteen was a defining moment for me - Newcastle City Hall, May 1981. Played for well over 3 hours including a solo acoustic section. The E Street Band were just phenomenal too, certainly one of the best gigs of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
