Rossolee Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 We caught SKB at Bearsville on Friday. This place(a converted barn) is a must for live music. If you get the chance go! Its the studio where tons of great albums have been recorded including Phish. They also let you out at setbreak to party in the parking lot As always a grate nite of music with Kimock. A couple newer tunes in the rotation. Lots of old nuggets(Tongue and Groove, Its Up To You). Other major highlights Ice Cream Factory, Moon People and Avalon. A joy to watch Rodney Holmes on drums! The guy is a monster. Go see SKB! Saturday night, we headed off to see Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer play at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MassMoCA) in North Adams. Very much out of the way, very much out of the ordinary. The art is a little odd, but the old mill buildings are a site in and of themselves. A 1000-seat theatre has been installed in one of the buildings, and has surprisingly good acoustics and great view lines from every seat. This acoustic show was music on another level Bela(bango) and Edgar(bass and piano) Everything from Bach to Miles! Several songs from Belas Perpetual Motion were played. This duo is truly is another MUST see. Truly amazing stuff! Friends we hooked up with had also caught the Nero set in Boston on the Thursday. DaveB from Boston said the crowd seemed to really get into it. The Instant Live recording sounds great! Cheers!

tatterdemalion Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 also caught a decent SKB show here in boston over the weekend. unfortunately, it was at a shitty venue (the Middle Least), and hampered the sound and the overall vibe a bit too (which appears to influence steve's playing sometimes). great first set of tunes (alot of my favs), but not all that exploratory. some new jams on tunes, but nothing out there. second set was also competent, but certainly not taking you for a ride. i like "One for Brother Mike" tho, and i think it's got lotsa potential for improv. new bandmembers, so i think they're just warming up. i'm embarassed to say that i missed the nero show here in boston. i'm truly, very sorry. i'll take off my canadian flag from my wall now. as bryan adams said, "please forgive me".
