Phil Lassiter sitting in for one of his tracks Ego Trippin’ (also a pretty solid Binky with a We Want the Funk Tag and a great Mark Lettieri Floor intro): https://archive.org/details/SP2014-09-26
Man I miss Snarky Puppy, they were my favorite band on the planet for a handful of years. The first time I saw them was at a house party in Ann Arbor in 2009, a friend of mine had a class at Berklee with Michael League and put us onto them and invited us to the party. Still one of the most epic parties i’ve ever been to. The first real show I saw was in 2010 at Papa Pete’s in Kzoo and RIck and Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys showed up for a minute.
Didn’t even know about these guys until they opened for UM at RR. They are spectacular. Finally saw them headline in Vegas last year and god damn was that great. Really good crowd too. Should be going to Bokante on Thursday
Just wanted to bump this thread because last night’s show at the Pabst was spectacular. I’ve been a fan for a long time & seen quite a few shows, and while I don’t think I’d put this at the top of the list, it was very impressive. I had listened to the newest album a couple times & it didn’t grab me like some of my old favorites, but in the live setting this shit was f’n hot as hell! Really great night, for sure.
Of special note though, if anyone is going tonight or any show coming up soon where the C4 Trio is opening, DO NOT SKIP them. Seriously. That was a truly incredible 45 min set. Really set the table nicely for a night of great musicianship.
There’s no reason you couldn’t have reached out, mang. We actually had an open seat next to us dead center in the 10th row. Our friend had a buddy come down solo from Green Bay and that guy bought said friend a ticket along with his up in the balcony, and our friend didn’t want the guy to sit alone so we ended up having 5 people in our 6 seats.
Glad to hear that. I was super bored the last time I saw them (maybe 2019?) but it seems like the new record, while I didn’t think it was amazing, would translate better live than the last 1-2
