DanS Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Keb & his band put on a great show. The vibe was sweet. His keyboard player 'borrowed' John Cleary's Hammond, and used a Kurzweil PC2 for his piano sounds. One of his guitar players was from Halifax, woo hoo!! I've always wanted to see him in concert, and he did not disappoint. Bonnie took the stage afterwards and launched into a couple of tunes from Souls Alive. John Cleary started off the show by playing some New Orleans style piano on his XV88 (nice to see some pros using "vintage" gear ) He had an Electro2, his Hammond, and one of those Roland percussion pads for when the urge grabbed him. The guitar interplay between Bonnie & George Marinelli was really nice. She brought Keb out for the encores. I've never seen a 'rock' show at PDA (usually the home of the MSO), and it sounded great.

Blue JC Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Jon Cleary is one of my favorite keyboard players. Check out his solo albums with the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. "Pin Your Spin" is the newest I believe. I saw Keb Mo with Robert Cray at a fantastic show. Of course, Bonnie Raitt has always got it going on. All three of these artists are doing interesting things in the blues. Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer. W. C.

stepay Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sounds like a cool show. My band plays two Keb Mo tunes -- Soon AS I Get Paid and I'm On Your Side. Great stuff from him. Would love to see him live. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loving Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 We're working up I'm on Your Side. Keb Mo and Bonnie Raitt are a great paring. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 It was an excellent pairing. Oddly, they didn't do "Just Like You" together, but did a few other choice tunes.

Joe Muscara Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I've only seen Keb live once (opening for Bonnie a few years ago) and I think he comes across better live than on his albums. His albums are good, but I think they'd be better if they weren't so "produced" sounding. IMO. Sounds like a great show! "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

DanS Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I agree Joe, he is better live than on his studio recordings. Live his tunes spread out a little, more solos, more groove & low down funky bits that really come alive. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

BluesKeys Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Two of my favorite artists. Add Delbert McClinton to that show and I would be drooling. Beer and women make me do that though, ask Gas.
