I liked the groove but found the keyboard playing a bit nervous and uninspiring... I like the basic idea of the group though... I think there should be more groovy rhodes/moog trios....

Good catch. I love the upright bass and the new riff

Interesting, but not so much so that I'm blown away. Maybe it was just a bad day for the performers, I dunno. They all seemed a bit lethargic and soul-less. Just my personal thoughts. I do like the idea of the Rhodes/Moog/bass and drums, but it seems like these guys executed it poorly.

I just see so much potential. WHen they went into the double time I thought that was fantastic. These guys are young and if they keep atit they will really rock.

REALLY made me want to actively seek out an electric upright, which I am definately looking into so I can have a more well rounded bass arsenal.

Because two electric basses, a Voyager, and the Taurus III's just isn't enough bass variety.

I see potential as well. But that's all I see. They are seriously lacking energy...which is what's needed for a great performance. I saw a band live once...they're called Hurricane Gumbo. They are a great live Zydeco band, so I bought their CD after the show. When I listened to it, it had none of the soul that the live performance had.

Future Dog's performance here reminds me of the Hurricane Gumbo CD. I'm sorry if this seems like rambling, but it's the only way I can explain it.
