That was pretty rough man. Made me appreciate Mick and Ronnie a lot more. Sorry, someone had to say it. Perhaps the live feed mixer was having a bad day, who knows?

The whole evening was well paced, with not a lot of wasted time as is usually the case at such award/benefit shows. The sightlines from the upper balcony are superior to those of the Beacon Theater, which was a pleasant surprise, though the Apollo in general seems in need of a refurbishment. Sonny Rolllins was articulate and gracious albeit frail. It was sobering to think it has been a full five years since I had seen him play live. Keith's songs did not disapoint, though foolish me I thought we would get one song from Crosseyed Heart, but instead got Happy. Funny that even in this abbreviated appearance it is possible to lapse into a "Warhorse" discussion and beg for newer material. But Keith was intent on keeping it mainstream and recognizable. It was odd to see Keith without a pirate bandana or ornaments in his hair; he looked like a (nearly) typical elderly English gentleman, which actually was refreshing and cool. Steve Jordan sounded like a powerful engine on Happy, and along with Waddy being out there it got me dieing for some live Winos. Please guys get out there! The evening was wonderful, short and sweet, and the most critical I could be is to say that there had to be ten sax players who took the stage who were far superior to Karl Denson (who had a tough job of filling Bobby Keys' shoes). Bernard Fowler, Lisa Fischer, and Sara Dash all contributed nicely in complimenting Keith. For $75 and a few swipes of a Metro Card, it was a tremendous bargain.

Ahhhh I thought RipThisBone was just making a guess....is that official?
Oh well - if true nice 'setlist'!
If he was guessing or pretending to know again, it'll be the last time I'll trust him
