| | | Hey thanks! You can tell I'm an old guy. I went to bed early last night and am up at 4:30 
My birthday present to myself was purchasing tickets to see the Chick Corea 'Five Man Band' tour in a couple of weeks (they are coming to Ann Arbor, which is just down the road).
Chick
John McLaughlin
Christian McBride on EB
Brian Blade
Kenny Garrett
That should be good!

That 5 man band line up sounds fantastic. I wonder if they're doing any UK gigs?

The EU tour (with Vinnie C. on drums) is over, but there is a 2 disc live CD of that part of the tour that is due for release on Wednesday.
I'm kind of done with the 'fusion' thing, but seeing these guys live (especially a couple of the 'founders of the genre') is always amazing. Chick has really been doing some cool stuff lately. I saw his 'flamenco tour' a while back with a bunch of guys from Paco De Lucia's band, and it was so burning that it hurt! |

| | No need to ask, he's a smooth... Moderator | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: West Midlands UK | | I saw RTF on their London gig last July. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.
I haven't seen McLaughlin live for a long time - first gig was back in 79 with Billy Cobham, Stu Goldberg and Jack Bruce. Then I saw him play an acoustic set a couple of years after that, with Christian Escoudé. EDIT - I just found online a pretty reasonable recording of the McLaughlin/Cobham/Bruce/Goldberg line-up, playing a gig in Lund, Sweden, just a month before I caught them in London. The files are RAR archives and unzip to FLAC format (these play in Winamp, no problem).

I heard the tour was great and that Stanley's playing was inspired!
There is a double live disc of that tour being released on Wednesday also on Chick's site.
There's nothing better than talking about good tunes on your birthday!!! |

That double live album will make a great birthday present for my sister, who came along to the gig with me. Thanks!
