Just finished watching at Lockn' 9/12/15.
 
The band was  Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), Carlos Santana (guitar), Warren Haynes (guitar, vocals), Rob Barraco (keys, vocals), Barry Sless (guitar, pedal steel), John Molo (drums).
 
Great lineup, and a great set!
 
Barry Sless took the lead in all the right places, and the band went through some really cool changes.  The vocals between Barraco, Warren, and Phil were great.
 
Sound quality was very good, however the mix was sometimes a bit uneven.  The video quality was also very good, however the producer apparently couldn't tell who was playing the lead parts, and they rarely focused on Barraco and Sless.
 
But the performance was wonderful; much better than I was expecting.  And the bass was way up in the mix and sounded great; and the producer focused on Phil and the Alembic a lot.  And Phil was playing great and having fun.

When I left the he studio biz 10 years ago $1000 would have barely covered 3 hours studio time.  

 

Listened to Eric Bibb's Live At The Basement this morning after hearing Booker's Guitar.
 
Great way to start my day!

Dave, thanks for the exposure to him, my wife and I are new fans.

Dave,
Phil and Friends 9/12/2015, very nice, thanks!

Forwarded Booker's Guitar to my Cousin, who is quite the fan. Excellent delivery of a very sentimental tune, and a great story too.
 
I don't have time to listen to much music today... we're under a declared State of Emergency here in Virginia, so the outfit I work for is in full-on-scramble mode to make sure the Water Plants are staffed. I'm talkin' they're in DefCon 4 mode... granted, if we do in fact get what the forecast is calling for, it'll be a legitimate disaster. Fingers crossed we'll get by with one more... it's been about 30 years since the last major flood event hit Roanoke.  
 
Weather Radio... that's what I'm listening to. =)

Looks really bad where you are on radar.
 
We have flood watches forecast for Friday through Sunday.

Yessir, looks bad, but mostly just for the projected rainfall. They just put up the watertight barricades on the front of Roanoke Memorial Hospital next door to my plant. We put up plywood and sandbags around the main pump station this afternoon too, in hopes that might buy us an extra couple hours.  
 
My fitting contribution to the listening thread: REO Speedwagon - Ridin' the Storm Out
 

 
Yes folks, I am a child of the 80's. =)

Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood - Juicy Lucy off their new album Juice

I can't imagine this played any other way by anybody else, that would so perfectly capture the spirit of the original.

A little Bach for this evening...
 

 
Pretty amazing skills

My favorite Tommy Emmanuel tune (and probably a lot of people's favorite), .  Masterful playing and songwriting.
 
Edit:  I just watched it again.  Still masterful.  It's been a favorite for a number of years now.

Graeme, that was pretty cool!

I was thinking of Lester Young a little earlier this evening, and went looking for this famous video from 1957 featuring Billie Holiday and a number of other jazz greats.  If you watched Ken Burns' jazz documentary, this scene is in there.
 
Lester takes the second solo after Billie's first verse.  The whole video is great.  Billie is wonderful; and Lester's solo is sublime.

We're with you.

Dave. I'd not heard of the Ken Burns documentary so I did a bit of digging and found a 'mint' used boxed set on Amazon for ?10.00. Now looking forward to 745 minutes of musical viewing.
