After travelling from Boulder and grabbing a bit of RnR time, the team took to the stage in front of a capacity crowd at Richards on Richards. The third gig by the band involves an initial amount of uncertainty in the early stages, yet they soon get into their stride. Around the 17 minute mark of this continuous first set Trey and Robert go into the Sus-Tayn-Z theme, which in turn leads to a spacious and indeed spacey solo fluttering above Robert’s melancholic orchestral voices. This section alone is worth the price of admission. Oh and listen out for a surprise guest appearance from Ade.
The second set begins with Robert “on the decks” as it were, dialing up On Acceptance from That Which Passes (and others) and then layering it with live soundscapes before morphing into Seizure. Though Tony struggles to find the right tempo, once the crew lock into the groove this little hummer really starts rattling the cutlery. Possibly not as righteously groovesome as the previous performance in Boulder but until that one appears online this'll do to keep the pulse moving along. Oh and this Hindu Fizz is the biz! As I noted at the time “This is extraordinary stuff for sure - very exciting and thrilling. Pat is pushing the others into unknown territory with this blend of live-time and programmed playing.”
