Bx3 2007 Tour

threshar · #1 01-11-2007, 09:48 AM

Any of you guys going to check out the Bx3 '07 tour (Jeff Berlin, Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan)

They've got a lot more dates than the mini tour they did in 06.
http://www.bx3live.com/dates.php

Also, http://bassplayer.tv has videos of them (and a ton more stuff) from the bassplayer live event. They even have the Berlin/Bailey debate up (which was rather entertaining)!

Lets all head out and show the powers that be that bassists can draw a crowd too!

Despite my resentment for anything Cubs related, I'll be there.

I want to go, but i'm not interested into going to a jazzy wankfest..not my style anyone know if this will be a heavier style concert? After looking at where it's taking place in boston i don't want to be seated or anything like that.

SBassman · #7 01-11-2007, 07:04 PM

I was at last year's show, and it ain't a jazzy wankfest.

Yeah, you'll hear some jazz, but you'll hear a little of everything. All played at the highest level.

If you have a date anywhere near you, and you like great bass playing, go. You won't be disappointed.

Embryodead · #8 01-11-2007, 08:50 PM

okay, thanks.

Anyone know anything about the venue in boston?

threshar · #9 01-12-2007, 08:04 AM

There's a bit for everyone - Berlin plays jazzy stuff. Hamm plays his funky tappy slappy stuff (and a fusion tune), and Sheehan is the rockin' shred machine. That is one of the neat things about the show - they have so completely different styles.

And, even if you're not into a particular category, I still think 99.9% of the people enjoy all the sections.

It's a great, super-fun show.

Of course, I won't be able to attend since the NY dates are somewhere between lame and non-existent.

[another poke in the eye.

But one with love. ]

Embryodead · #11 01-12-2007, 11:26 AM

yeah, i have to call up the venue and ask what it's like. I mean..they are selling "Dinner + Show" packages i don't want to be in a room full of old folks.

SBassman · #12 01-12-2007, 11:27 AM

One more thing - besides seeing bass playing at the absolutely highest level, you'll also get -
some comedy.

Everyone seemed to offer up jokes along the way.
Jeff Berlin had a whole Shtick going on.
Almost reminded me of Shecky Greene with a bass in his hand.

Seriously, if you are a student of bass, and you are anywhere within driving distance of a date, you really have to go.

My best concert experiences have been "Dinner+Show" venues.

If you are of age, that's also Code for:
*you can enjoy a drink served to you - while listening to great music.*

It doesn't get any better than that.

What's this old-folks crap. Now stand up straight and mind your elders.

And get to that concert.

JVA · #14 01-14-2007, 09:22 AM

Thanks for posting this.... I'll mention it at rehearsal tonight and see if the guys want to go with me. My 2 guitarist are frustrated bassists, and my drummer likes hanging out with musicians

B.B. Kings in N.Y.C. I'll be there!

I fixed it for you.

Sbassman, they're hitting Buffalo on 2/23. We usually miss these things up here.

Must see huh y'all?

lefty007 · #18 01-17-2007, 12:26 PM

I hate to say that I don't care for Jeff Berlin or Stu Hamm, but seeing Bill Sheehan is worth the price of admission alone.

I love all three of them, think how I feel about missing these shows?

Embryodead · #20 01-17-2007, 11:15 PM

well it looks like i won't be going, i'm not very interested in being in a venue like that.

BUT
