Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I am assuming they are still playing. Feck, I wish I was at this............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 This was a pre-emptive post... I fully expect awesome reviews once people get back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Wont they start the thread themselves? This seems redundant rather than pre-emptive. [color:purple]You've been to Phantasy Tour, right? Well, since it has been started, bump this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Fair enough. Those swiss-cheesed brained mother-fuckers wont even remember where they were tonight. Paisley probably dropped on Monday for this one. (What's worse? Forgetting about the show or consistently bumping a thread on a Friday night in hopes for a glimpse into their evening?)

Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Fack, I love Jimmy Herring.He took one of the BEST solos I have ever seen. Actually, he has taken a thousand of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) Jimmy's solos, especially with Col. Bruce Hampton & Aquarium Rescue Unit, are perfect no matter the length. In fact, the shorter the solo, the more interesting and impressive it is - it's similar to Jeff Beck - Jimmy gets in and gets out with a short blast that feels like you've been hammered in the face. Another important thing about Jimmy is that the solos, since he doesn's sing, make all the songs better. That should not be ignored.

Del Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (What's worse? Forgetting about the show or consistently bumping a thread on a Friday night in hopes for a glimpse into their evening?)Clearly forgetting about the show is much worse... Unfortunatley I fear the worst about the SoOn crowd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I've been trying to find this extensive article/interview with Jimmy that appeared on a now defunct website called I believe grits.net. I tried archive.org to no avail. I really wish I could find it because it's really illuminating. Goes into detail about his time at the Guitar Institute and how he was essentially a prog player, then his introduction to so-called jambands via the Colonel and the Dead via Jazz Is Dead. The reason I really wanted to find it is that he talks at one point about having to learn Jerry's playing style, not wanting to rehash it but more from the perspective of studying Jerry's lead player as an outsider with his progish background trying to understand what made this guy tick. It's really really insightful. He talks about his sense of melody of course I recall but also something about triadic lines I think. It was beyond me as a non-musician but the musicians would really dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 zero, did you see my thread? If not, I'll bump it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 With the ARU, the progressive nature to Jimmy's solos really contrast with the Colonel's songs. The solos come out of left field ( at times ) and usually slam you in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) Zero, having heard the recent Phil-Ryan Adams shows tonight, the color of my skin is as green as the Hulks' only fitting over my Bruce Baxter body. When Ryan gets comfortable enough with the lyrics to go off (he got tongue-tied a number of times during the Red Rocks gig), Jimmy Herring is right there on top of him and below him the entire time. His sensisibities are nothing short of inspiring.By the way Jaimoe, thanks for introducing me to ARU so many years ago. "Booche, you should check out this guitar player. I think you will like him."

Vermontdave Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 One of the most amazing shows I ever saw was Col. Bruce and ARU at the Metronome (above Nectars in Burlington). They had Leftover Salmon open and then did atwo hour set of classic jamband shite. All the dudes from the now defunct band from my neck of the woods (except Paige), joined in the fun. Ah, memories.peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
