Mardy Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Personally, I thought the Rough and Rowdy Ways gigs at the Palladium last year were the best he's been since the Oh Mercy tour in 89/90. They were absolutely astonishing, and man, when he finished with a blast of that harmonica, like watching Picasso do a brushstroke. I know ain't nobody sings the blues like Blind Willie Mctell arthritic old Robert Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been doing gigs where he is clearly just doing what the hell he likes and the songs are barely recognisable for at least 10 years, probably a fair bit longer. I know people who love it. Never been a huge fan, but have a mate who saw him at least 20 years ago and pretty much said this. Changed all the arrangements, illegible singing (using the term loosely) and pretty much played what he wanted, not what the crowd did. Undoubtedly a Legend, but no way is he rolling out 75 mins of his classics in the original format for anyone. I'm not sure he'd even be capable of doing it.

CaledonianGonzo Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Imagine if he'd even been changing the format and instrumentation of his songs and pissing off the paying punters even back in the early 1960s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the re-aranged songs things is known. The problem I have is that Bob himself sadly is not really contributing anything to the show anymore struggles though any kind of vocals and obviously has not played an Instrument at a live show in years. Its no shame very few in there 80s would be able to still do this stuff. For me theres was no fun in watching that. I just kind of felt sad at what I was seeing.

Not sure about legend though, they could nail the ZZ Top slot. f**k it. Get ZZ Top back too. I just mean, band as in similar genre, rock and guitar and drums based music, like ELO, or Stevens. I think Toto would be big enough, personally. Every man and his dog has seen Africa in some guise, it's been parodied or covered from South Park to Comunity to orchestras... Plus add all the other hits and the dads, mums, students will be out en masse. Also, I had no idea there was such a thing as a ZZ Top slot tho?!?! When's that? After the Legends Slot and Teatime Slots? Before the Sunset Slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother, the technology for that ain't here yet, and I doubt it ever will be. This is how we fight back against AI. Confuse the f**k out of it until it just gives up.

CaledonianGonzo Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 The Legend Slot is at least as much about the personality of the performer as it is about the songs. No c**t could pick Toto out of a line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
