Guitar Legends - Blues and Soul Night - Expo '92 Sevilla

'Guitar Legends' was a concert held over five nights, from 15th to 19th October 1991 in Seville, Spain, to publicise the Expo '92 event the following year. This video was transfered from my old VHS (recorded from British TV in 1991). The concert was a real inspiration to me when I was younger - the first time I'd seen and heard many of these great bluesmen.

I'm dedicating this upload to Albert Collins and Bo Diddley, both legendary and influential blues musicians and larger-than-life entertainers who gave an amazing performance at this concert. They are sadly no longer with us, but never to be forgotten! In this concert, Bo Diddley's tone and percussive/rhythmic playing are totally infectious (52:23), and Albert Collins' playing on Robert Cray's "The Dream" (18:13) is beautifully tasteful and will make all the hairs on your body stand on end.

But then all of the musicians' performances in this video are excellent.

The concert is quite hard to find now, and I thought it should be shared with everybody. I hope you enjoy it :-)

The String Cheese Incident "Piece of Mine"

A favorite song of yours truly, from last Wednesday's String Cheese Incident gig at the Palace Theater in St. Paul.  They kicked off set two, with "Piece of Mine", featuring vocals and some wicked Hammond B3 from Kyle Hollingsworth.  Dig it!

concert review: John Pizzarelli @ The Dakota 4-9-17

Yours truly saw John Pizzarelli with his quartet at The Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant on Sunday, April 9th, 2017.  The most significant part of the show, I would say, was when Pizzarelli and his quartet (so, he was the star as he guitarist/vocalist, along with a pianist, a bassist, and a drummer), played in succession, a number of songs, that were co-written, by the great Johnny Mercer.  Mercer teamed with writers such as Hoagy Carmichael, Harold Arlen, Henry Mancini, and Marvin Hamlisch.  The show in and of itself, including spoofs on some other popular artists towards the end, was great, as Pizzarelli is a master of combining music, and a dose of dry humor.

Pizzarelli's performances of Johnny Mercer’s songs were the highlights of the evening.  Four Mercer compositions were in the set list, including "Something's Gotta Give", "Skylark", "Jamboree Jones", and his best known WW. II. hit "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positives".  Plus, he pulled out a rendition, of "How High The Moon" which was written and recorded by Les Paul and Mary Ford.  Towards the show's end, the dry humor kicked in and Pizzarelli and his quartet, spoofed songs by such legends of music as Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, and The Beach Boys.  His talents for blending his skill as a guitarist and jazz singer, with quick wit and a true love for some of the great lyricists of our time, made the evening fun and enjoyable for all in attendance.

Kyle Hollingsworth "Falling Through The Cracks"

String Cheese Incident keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth recorded a version of their tune played at Wednesday night's concert, "Falling Through The Cracks", for his 2014 solo record "Speed of Life".  Check this out.  Hollingsworth is a master of the Hammond B3, and can wail on Rhodes and Clavinet, and he has a soulful voice as well.

concert review: String Cheese Incident @ Palace Theater, St. Paul, MN 4/5/17

Since their inception in Colorado in 1993, String Cheese Incident has brought together a wide variety of musical influences to create their own, unique sound on the jam band scene.  The core band members that put this unique blend of jam rock, Americana/country/bluegrass music, and also, some elements of dub step or dance music, and reggae, include guitarist/vocalist Bill Nershi, Michael Kang on vocals and the unique five string octave electric mandolin, and keyboardist/Hammond B3 wild man, Kyle Hollingsworth. 

Their show, Wednesday night at the newly renovated Palace Theater in St. Paul, brought together all these elements, with a big dose of strobe light extravagance as well.  Flashing, dizzying colors, as far as the eye could see, and maybe a bit too intense for some tastes, or eyes, for that matter.  But, the music was what counted and SCI as they are known, delivered in spades, with a good number of jam worthy songs, whether they leaned towards traditional bluegrass or country picking, or all out, no holds barred, in your face electric jams with healthy doses of B3, Rhodes piano, and Clavinet thrown in.

The jams were fantastic, and the band was on fire, moving rapidly from song to song, all night.  The enthusiastic fans ate up the music and seemed to really enjoy themselves.  

A lot of the songs were new to yours truly, even though he has been following the jam band scene for so many years.  The country rock boogie woogie of the opening "So Far From Home", set the tone for the rest of the show.  Many of the songs, were merged into medleys or long, extended jams.  The rhythm & blues flavored "Falling Through The Cracks", began this flowing river of music, cascading and bending through the trippy, psychedelic light show.  The medleys early on in the show drew on musical tapestries of genres such as reggae, folk, or country, jazz, and rock solid jamming.  Fiddle and electric mandolin from Michael Kang abounded as did the melodic ringing chords of Bill Nershi's acoustic guitar.

Jazz was also highlighted, with a cover of jazz violin maestro Jean Luc Ponty's "Mouna Bowa" that he co-wrote with bassist Guy N'Sangue for Ponty's 1991 record "Tchokola".  "Stay Through" echoes the popular reggae of Bob Marley & The Wailers.  For the next 16 minutes, SCI takes us through the hypnotic groove of their composition "Joyful Sound".  Grateful Dead, meets shades of Indian classical, and a slow burning groove.  Bill Nershi and Michael Kang, are joined in on this one by the chiming bell tones of Kyle Hollingsworth's Rhodes piano at the beginning, and we set off on a bit of a lilt, slowly winding it's way on a twisting road.  Kyle Hollingsworth then proceeds to hit the synths.  This song, reminds yours truly, of another favorite jam band he has seen in concert... Phish.

Synthesizer and drums take the tune to a dramatic climax, joined in by Kang's powerful electric mandolin, and more psychedelia ensues as we slide this song into home plate, for a home run.  You want more jamming?  We've got more jamming.  Another medley is on deck.  More roots and country influence is heard in "One Step Closer", as SCI digs the bluegrass tradition, with a singer/songwriter love ballad twist.  Hey, everyone!  "Let's Go Outside"!  The weather, is lovely.  This is actually a segue, into the next tune.  An instrumental jam, with Michael Kang's electric mandolin, and Kyle Hollingsworth tearing up the Clavinet with percussive wah wah and unleashing the Hammond.
The best, a great jam, has to offer. 

When we go outside, we take a musical walk, run, and leap, into blue skies and sunshine, before changing the theme, to funkafize.  Clavinet and drums, bring the groove, and the electrified strings join in on the party.  So does the synthesizer, here and there.  Shing-a-ling, y'all, and dance like crazy! "Let's Go Outside".  Need I say more?  Intermission time.  Get reloaded for set two.

We come next, to the second set.  Are you ready for more?  Oh yeah!

Set two begins with "Piece of Mine".  More fireworks from Kyle Hollingsworth, and Michael Kang.  The chorus has an infectious repeat.  "Say yes.  Say no.  Make up your own mind.  Hold on, let go.  Gotta get a piece of mine."  Next up, is the title track to SCI's new record, called "Believe".  FYI, it drops, next week.  We dig deeper into the second set for more musical gold, finding next, another ballad called "Windy Mountain", sung by Bill Nershi.  "I live up on windy mountain, in my cabin home.  I live upon windy mountain, but I can't stay there long."

When you are on that mountain, your music may morph into another unexpected jam.  After "Windy Mountain", we hear the ethereal strains of "Can't Stop Now", and this tune is surely a reminder for everyone, once the music gets started, well, it'll keep going, deeper into listeners' souls.  The song grows another limb, and goes from ethereal, to grooving.  This is the hallmark of a jam band, and SCI proves it as Kyle Hollingsworth switches the groove, to the piano.  Then comes, another theme, and another bluegrass breakdown groove!  Yeehaw!  Should've donned my cowboy hat!

Now, we board a time machine of sorts for a song SCI hasn't played in a good while.  More funky grooves, and surely some 7 and 9 chords in "Seventh Step".  The groove is reminiscent of New Orleans and The Meters.  SCI then gives the song their own touch, and starts working in keys that could be suitable for horns, as the jam goes on.  There are a few lyrics for a chorus in the tune. 

Familiarity strikes deep within the crystalline hue of the liquid lights during second set, when the band broke out their instantly recognizable 2001 jam, "Outside & Inside".  This was THE song of the evening for sure.  "Outside & Inside" morphs into a 30 minute jam, featuring a whole medley of songs.  SCI seems to do the medley thing, extremely well.  Next, was the favorite SCI song of yours truly, 2001's "Outside & Inside", which morphed into another four song jam, and in the middle of "Outside & Inside", there is an Allman Brothers-esque twin guitar jam.

Then comes the faster tempo in the medley of "Just One Story".  It segues to "Way Back Home" with a synth riff that is vaguely reminiscent of a Jerry Garcia guitar solo, before the chorus repeats.  "Just One Story" becomes a mid-tempo jam the rest of the way surely with a groove you can dance to.  Alas, we have come to the encore.  Bill Nershi gives some remarks to the crowd.  "Thanks a lot, everybody.  Good to be way up north."  Members of the crowd get excited and begin to cheer.  "One more song!"

Their wish, is granted.  Michael Kang says "for those of you who want to join us again tomorrow, we get to do this all again."  The encore is the bouncy, happy tune "Sweet Spot".  This set has shown SCI's unique brand of jamming, and a fun approach to music, with deep roots.  SCI played a second show at Palace, tonight (April 6th).  Yours truly wishes he could have attended both.  You can't have everything in life.  But, that being said, you can have two reviews of two concerts.  So, a link to the review of the Thursday show, will also be posted here, when I can find it.

Santana "Treat" Live at Tanglewood, August 18th, 1970

Recorded just over a year after Santana played its historic Woodstock Music & Art Fair performance, the band was fast becoming one of the biggest in the world. They were about to release their second album, Abraxas, and were riding high on the heels of three hit songs from their debut album and a new Top 10 hit, a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman."

A year earlier - in fact only a few days before the Woodstock Festival - Bill Graham staged the first of several concerts billed as "The Fillmore at Tanglewood." Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the storied venue had just begun to experiment with staging contemporary concerts on their grounds. Staging a rock concert in a classical venue had yet to be done, so of course the concept of doing so excited Graham. He brought the full-scale Fillmore East production team in, including the Joshua Light Show, and booked a great lineup. This first concert featured B.B King, Jefferson Airplane and The Who, and drew the largest crowd that Tanglewood had ever seen by far.

Buoyed by the event's success, Tanglewood and Graham agreed to stage three similar dates in 1970. The last of these is this show, when Santana headlined after The Voices of East Harlem and the legendary Miles Davis had played (you can hear Mile's set here).

This historic and beautifully recorded performance features a smoking performance by Santana in the last year of their classic lineup, before a young Neal Schon joined the band. We think you'll agree it's an incredible performance by a great band in their prime.

Personnel:

Carlos Santana - guitar, vocals
Gregg Rolie - keyboards, piano, lead vocals
David Brown - bass
Michael Shrieve - drums
Jose "Chepito" Areas - percussion, conga, timbales
Mike Carabello - percussion, conga, vocals
