SLOW MUSIC’S GOOD VIBRATIONS IN SEATTLE MAKES BRIAN WILSON SMILE

There was a comment left over on my blog left by Brian Wilson about Slow Music’s gig in Seattle on the 6th May.  I thought it’d be worth sharing with a wider audience here at DGMLive.

“I must agree with your assessment of the "Croc" disc and I can only hope it reaches some form of wider distribution. I picked up a copy this past Saturday, as I was lucky enough to attend the Slow Music performance at the Showbox here in Seattle. What a great show! The local Guitar Circle opened the festivities with a 30-min tuning of the air encircling the audience.

Mr. Fripp was actually out and about on the floor of the venue, apparently checking out the vibes of the space. There was a seamless segue into the main performance.

The Slow boys did 2 sets of roughly 45 minutes each. Very open and probing. Lots of eye contact and smiles amongst the band members. Difficult to tell who was playing what at times, and very loud at points.

After a major crescendo at the end of the 2nd set, all players' eyes were on each other to see where to go next. The brief pause was interrupted by a loud "yeah!" from an enthusiast in the area of the bar. This convinced the musicians that they had found a good stopping point.

Rieflin's comments from the stage were humorous and self-deprecating, leaving us with 'thank you very much for coming, and I hope it was worth it...'"

Thanks to Brian for this.  Any other reviews or thoughts? Send them in.
