Hi all- Just wanted to comment on last night's show- wow! Fantastic- Nels Cline was incredible, and was using his newly repaired vintage tape Echoplex! I was also taken by his use of a red Digitech Whammy pedal that had pitch shifting features- it sparked my interest in a big way as I had a foot controllable octave device in mind lately- Along with Niles were Mark Isham on effected horn- it looked like a white Miles really- sans the stylish attire that Miles did so well-standing and directing the other members when to break and change sections with hand signals while his back to the audience- He had an EMU sampler I think- with a controller on a stand next to him- along with a rack of effects including a Jam Man, VC3, a T.C. Elec. multi box, Ground Control controller- He used delay a nd hold functions with great success and with discretion- also voice samples including some from a Miles album called Evil/Live- The bass player was great and had a beautiful Zion bass with a black fingerboard that looked like it was made of glass- Drummer used electronic drums - I could not see the module tho- The music was great with many tracks containing fast tempo break beat/house/ techno drums with slow melody lines on top- very nice grooves! Keyboard player had a Rhodes and a korg and was great too- They did a Miles cover from either Evil/Live, Big Fun, or Bitches Brew- i'll have to check- but it was great to hear Nels on this one- pulling out some mcLaughlin-esque riffs with his own style- I have to go to work so I must end this now! Cheers- Cliff
