I've been listening to Garaj Mahal for a year and absolutly love their music. I finally got the chance to see them play last night in madison FREE ADMISTION! It was one of the best shows i've ever seen. Hands down their the tightest band i've watched and wow is kai just absolutly amazing. I got the privillege to stand only a few feet away from him as he just rocked the house. Kai is exactly where i want ot be in bass playing....too bad he got their before me  Oh well i do some stuff he doesn't and vice versa. |

The latter statement is COMPLETELY overshadowed by how much Kai rocks. So does everyone else in the Garaj. |

SMASH posted long clips of a Vancouver show on Talkbass a while back. Live recordings are everywhere as well. |

video available for d/l at groovetv | Yeah, their Fly Like an Eagle is hot. Does Fareed do this in every one? I have a live VCD where in the middle of the song he goes off on this big rant about how basically american eagles aren't very nice creatures. He says stuff like they're one of the most voracious carnivores on the planet, etc. Anybody else hear him go off like that? It's kind of like he was saying 'what was Steve Miller thinking?' Anyway, cool song - where's my Big Apple 5? Kai rules.
Poodle Factory!
Haha, I just noticed you mentioned groovetv. Those are the only videos I have of them - I think there's 2 on that site.
