Not like on a date or anything. MMW is in Portland tonight and I'm stoked! Haven't seen these guys in years and now that I live in the sticks almost any concert is a luxury. I'm sure it will be well worth the 20 degree, 2 hour drive on a moose strewn highway.

I love to see MMW live and Chris Wood is a great bass player. John Medeski is one of my favorite musicians to see live because he gets into playing his keyboards so much. Enjoy the groove! :cool:

I went to the show Bino started this thread about....it was great.

Chris is underrated as a player and soloist. He blew some amazing stuff, grooves and solos. He even played a slide solo way up high over the pickups of his old looking p bass.

He did some cool stuff with some funky moog type effect.

Dude plays with some force too! Man, he was ripping at the strings of his upright and electric.

The drummer was incredible too, that's Martin right? He just propels the groove ahead, forging a nice wide place for the other tow to play over.

Awesome band. See them.

You sure about that? I love MMW and every bootleg and live album I have of them and the one time I saw them live they've never played a continuous stream of grooves. In fact that's one thing I like about them. They'll gradually morph the groove into a kind of a free thing with no defined rhythm or groove for a while and then all of a sudden they'll bust back into an even tighter groove. I love that.
