That really was something different indeed - but not bad at all. To be honest, I quite liked it.

Here's my all time favourite guitar player performing with Holland Metropole Orchestra. The song is called "Lotus Feet" and I'm just amazed how much dynamics there is! By dynamics I mean a difference between gentle and soft playing versus aggressive style -the whole range of that if you will. It is just mind boggling...and all of that accompanied by the talent of him is just unreal! Jeebus dude, as Homer would say...

Oi, here's a masterpiece I've had almost forgotten altogether. It's a classical guitar piece played by Steve Vai and Sharon Isbin. I like it a lot:

First of all, here's an interview about how it all got started in the first place:

And here's the actual performance:

Hmm. I just had a flashback and I remembered that once upon a time there was a Finnish band who was just about to make it. They were gigging with bands like mötley crue and they sort of raised from the ground to the rock'n'roll heaven. Sort of...I guess they were a bit late or a $ short...

Marviner, I hope you didn't take my comment as a slight. Just a poor attempt at a little humor. I actually like medieval music too. I saw Stanley Jordan on the promo. Are you familiar with his work? Awesome player with tapping style, that allows chords and melody to be played at the same time.

Umphrey's McGee rocks my face off. Seen these guys live 27 times and loved every minute of it.

This is for our new Army member Darkstarncw.

NYE 78 ~ a young Wharf in the house. The Dead came out at the stroke of midnight and played til 6am. It had been years since they played Dark Star (a DH fav) in SF. This is the opening of the 3rd set

 

[Darkstarncw]

I didn't hear this show until it was released in 2003, but definitely a great one! There's a part of me that will always be addicted to the Pigpen era, but I love the Godchaux years too.

 

[Wharf Rat]

I hear ya DS, feel the same way. My first show was after the hiatus and it was the last free concert in Golden Gate park. It was the Kantner Slick band (post Airplane pre Starship) and then Jerry and friends (the Dead). That's all it took !!! Those 3+ years with Keith and Donna were my favorite.

 

[Bovinia]

Great stuff Wharf!

SK, that was cute! Reminded me of the "Happy Feet Two" movie

For anyone who didn't recognize my avatar, I'm a pretty huge Dream Theater fan, and as such a big fan of Liquid Tension Experiment. Pretty good Jordan Rudess keys solo in here:
