| Comment | Rough Lineup:
Bill Laswell - bass (and produced this show and did the sound production) Ustad Sultan Khan - sarangi player/vocals Zakir Hussein - tablas Nils Petter Molvaer - trumpet Karsh Kale - drums Ayib Dieng - drums/percussion Pharaoh Sanders - sax Toshinoro Kondo (spelling) - trumpet Unknown - Keyboard player FM Sousa Moday (??) - Kora Hamid Drake - drums Buckethead - Guitar DJ Disk - DJ Brain - drums Grandmixer DXT - MC and DJ Bootsy Collins - MC Here is an idea of the shows layout/review: It started with a Tabla Beat Science style lineup with Zakir Hussein on tablas and a Ustad Sultan Khan singing and playing the sarangi. They were joined with trumpet work by Nils Petter Molvaer and keyboards, Karsh, Laswell, DJ Disk and Ayib Dieng. Zakir, Molvaer and the singer are magnificent, Laswell makes it groove with his 10,000 watts. This was followed by a Material-style lineup with Pharaoh Sanders on lead and Toshi on trumpet efx + Kora instrument and vocal leads. This lineup had Hamid Drake on drums, Ayib Dieng on percussion, keyboard player, Laswell, DJ Disk (+ others). Pharaoh and Toshi have phenomenal interplay. There are extreme close-ups of Pharaoh's white-bearded-face and as he plays, he looks possessed...and probably is. Buckethead solo was next with Big Sur Moon, followed by some nunchuku and breakdacing. Then Laswell, Brain, Toshi, and Disk (Praxis) joined him for Seven Laws of Woo. Following that was the song Meta-Matica. This was a very powerfull Praxis lineup that ended with Buckethead playing a creepy rhythm note while everyone else solo'd (nice DJ work here). Following that was the finale, featuring Bootsy Collins and old and young rappers dressed as clowns, MC'ing over a full band. Grand-mixer DXT was on stage (MCing and DJing) along with Molvaer, Laswell, DJ Disk, Dieng. Brain was called out for a solo by MC Bootsy followed by Buckethead. There were a lot of people on stage at this point. This rolled into credits. |
