[polishmike]

[mpcec]

Oh my god.... I wish I could go but I got work at 6 am tomorrow. Fuck.

[polishmike]

I don't see a problem, I'm sure it will end before midnight

[Leonard Leroy]

I don't think it will be a very long show and you might not get a chance to see it ever again. Stop being a responsible old man, just take a nap and go to work.

[Leonard Leroy]

if anyone happens to see me there, say hi.

Getting PMs, reps after the fact is getting tired, I want to say I saw you too

[RFKorp]

I might be there. Some friends are trying to convince me to go see Spoon in prospect park instead. But it has yet to be determined who will prevail.

And I'm not much a fan of Sakamoto anyway.

[mellowfellow]

I really enjoyed the show once sakamoto was on the piano. It got even better when fennesz played his guitar. I like almost all of the songs. I think the last song and the two encores were the most accessible. Anyone know if those songs were from cendre? I dont remember them.

[ddohnggo]

most songs were from cendre. the first time fennesz started playing guitar it seemed like a down syndrome child was playing it.

[RFKorp]

So it was heavily drawn from the album? Kind of glad I didn't make it then.

Better to not sully my memory of the great solo and duo set Fennesz played with Keith Rowe back in '04.

[polishmike]

Most of the songs were from the album, I don't dislike the album although I'm not a huge fan of Sakamoto but at the end the show was pretty good. For me the less piano the better so the best songs were the two towards the end with no video, Sakamoto just playing on the strings of the piano.

You should listen to Reynols from Argentina. The drummer has down syndrome and the band fucking kills...

(there is a documentary about them on youtube)

i had no idea there were so many fennesz fans on sufu. that's cool. for the millionth time, i wish i lived in nyc.

[Leonard Leroy]

Hah, funny, I went for Sakamoto, and the last song + the two encores made the show for me.

edit: God its a dream for me to see him with a band, ala his world tour as the trio. Their performance of Rain is something I listen to, oh about every day.

[readytoignite]

don't listen to polish, he was too busy talking and making it impossible for others around him to appreciate the serious art that was happening on stage

the first piece was good but i wasn't too keen on the overt sentimentality of the stuff from the album. i've only really kept up on his improv work with erstwhile so was pretty surprised about it.

the best reynols record is the 10,000 chickens symphony btw. 10,000 chickens can't be wrong

edit - f***ing spoon?!?!!?

I gotta hear that. The only reynols album I actually own for some reason is the one that's all blank tape hiss.
