Just as I was beginning to dispair that he was leaving his harp in the case, he let loose. One extended solo (at least 10 minutes) with just him and the drummer (who was pounding a steady beat on the bass drum) was fantastic. One deceptively simple lick after another. He makes it look so easy! I ordered the video of the SPAH Thursday Nite Blues Blow-Off, and now I'm really looking forward to it. >>
SPAH Blues Blow Off 2 video set (almost 4 hours of music) features unedited Kim Wilson set, approx 1 hr 20 minutes. What sets this apart from T-Bird shows is that, except for one solo from the pianist or guitarist, the remaining time is all Kim Wilson - singing and playing. (Not to mention the finale, when Kim invites Portnoy, Salgado, and Guyger to join him).
