Ah!  Well then yes; an umbrella seems prudent.

Yeah Graeme, that was a mighty downpour!  The crew had to lower the hanging PA and all the stadium signs read "Please take cover under the concourse until the severe storms pass".  Must be a regular happening there.  And thankfully it did pass and the show went on for the enthusiastic but slightly soggy audience.

Couldn't they give you a room with a better view than the porta potties?

I'm really looking forward to tracking this CD down - I have the original vols. 1 & 2 - the version of Fred is great, can't wait to hear the new mix!




(Gary Husband also has a picture of you and Allan Holdsworth during lunch break of the recording sessions on his Instagram)

[JimmyJ]

Yes indeed, that's an amazing record Gary put together.  Great fun.  One of the nicest things about the new Fred mix is that he included some audio from before and after the take so you can hear a couple linear moments from Allan.  He took the track home intending to build a guitar solo for it but for whatever reason it never happened.  Later Gary got Jan Hammer to solo on it which makes the track even more special.

Thanks for supporting the team,
Jimmy J

Not normally being one to toot my own horn... I thought I'd share this bit of silliness from the Steve Gadd Band.  When you make an album these days there's often an EPK or electronic press kit that's done to help publicize the release.  This is usually the band leader saying "It was great to get the guys together again and work on this new record, it came together real well... blah blah blah..."  For the last album we decided we might as well also do something stupid so we made a fake reality show video.  Just a collection of silly inside jokes meant to be a more fun version of an EPK.  And of course that vid has something like 15k views making it the most popular thing the band has ever produced (including the records.  HA!)  So here's the latest installment which I hope some of you will find entertaining.  None of us are great actors but I'm proud of my "Jimmie Johnson NASCAR driver" moment.  HA!

HILARIOUS!   

[dead_head]

That was great, Jimmy!  Could there be a sequel?... 

[David Houck]

Fun!  Thanks for sharing!

[rustyg61]

That was hilarious Jimmy! I have actually done the single note sampling of my Alembic before!

I found this episode too -

And this one -

[JimmyJ]

Ha!  Rob, this actually was the sequel, Rusty found the original above.  Oh, and this new one is called Episode 7 just to be extra confusing.  All very silly.
